Kudos to GEJ and his media team for proving their crebility and shaming critics who re bent on pulling down his administration. Unfortunately and unknown to these self acclaimed oppositions in the veil of social crusaders,they wreck more havoc to d image of the nation before international communities by trying to heat up d polity unnecessarily and discredit the present administration. However, I also support criticisms but only when it is constructive. |

Nigerians relied on PM News to tell them if the President was right or wrong and PM News claimed to have had an email correspondence with Transparency International which I doubt. I will contact TI's Communications Officer, Sophie Brown, tomorrow to confirm and if they say there was no conversation of such, then PM should be ashamed of themselves. And I will let Nigerians know of that as much as I can. 1 Like |

OP, you are an i-diot. Why are you comparing 2001 to 2011? Nigeria improved tremendously due to the good work of Ribadu in 2003 to 2007. If Jonathan wants to claim that corruption has improved under him, then he should compare 2011 to 2007 -2010... |

@OP, that you feel a need to run amok on these boards in spite of the faux pas already admitted by the Presidency is your prerogative. While at it, though, please desist from feeding us more false statistics because it adds nothing to the debate. For your information, Uruguay had a CPI score of 5.1 in 2001. By 2011, this had gone up to 7 Now spare us any further conjectures by doing the arithmetic! |

eGuerrilla: @OP, that you feel a need to run amok on these boards in spite of the faux pas already admitted by the Presidency is your prerogative. Thanks for pointing out Uruguay. If you read what the Ministry of Information posted, you will see that they said Nigeria was 3rd most improved. They have taken down the link, but here's the cached version. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:V6Tm3oY-0_AJ:fmi.gov.ng/mr-presidents-statement-was-based-on-notorious-facts/+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk After Uruguay and Bangladesh, Nigeria was the 3rd most improved country in the efforts to fight corruption. The President was only wrong saying "second". |

If Jonathan wants to claim that corruption has improved under him, then he should compare 2011 to 2007 -2010... If your senile brain had read the explanation from the Ministry of Information, you would noticed that the President based his claim on those years - 2001 to 2011.

[b]The level of hate I have developed for ACN is at a breaking point. Not that I am not tolerable to opposition nor I mine sympathetic to PDP but as a Nigerian ithik they should learn to draw the line between politics and patriotism.. They are far lacking in the later hence what type of leadership will they offer if given the opportunity PDP enjoys today.. Opposition is built on ideologies not propaganda.. They don't mind bringing so much shame to the nation just to be in the news or run down the president and his party. Nigeria existed before political parties and as such should come to fore in issues of international discourse. Making a mockery of the country over a speech which some have akinned to an interpretational and misguided doesn't warrant rubbing our image and integrity in the mud before the international community that our president is a born liar. They went further asking for apology. Apology for what? To be used as a future political tool of reference? How foolishly they think... We need an opposition but certainly not a bigoted and a regional political agenda.[/b] 1 Like |
