The broadcast was absurd and uncalled for,you don't need a national broadcast to disburse funds to flood victims or the affected states. The president is surrounded by too many clueless goon who earns fat pay for doing nothing other than mislead the president,its a pity. 5 Likes |

Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by nagoma(m): 9:33pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
So what is the money going to be used for ? Drainage construction? Rebiuilding houses? dam construction? Food purchase? We all know that there will be flood next year as well ( not sure of the extent) is the president planning a broadcast next year? Is the committe a standing committee or adhoc? Will There be a new committee next year? Did the president say what caused th floods? What did he say about the Cameroonian dam? Do we know that flood water could be the solution to our electri ity generation problem? If we have 3 big dams on the Benue river and 3 additional ones on the niger solely for electricity generation , the water could also be controlled for use in agric, fishery etc etc and with such big dams major flooding will be reduced to something tolerable.and much below disaster level. 1 Like |

Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by taharqa: 10:03pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
Ankio Briggs didnt 'condemn' the speech. She only meant the measures were not enough to deal with the extent of the floods, especially the ones he had seen herself in the Niger Delta, hence her advice on the Govt to seek some International Aid( she questioned the need for the committee apparently not aware that the committee i only meant to raise additional money; she also questions the categorization of the affected States maybe cos she feels more help should come to the ND states which she perhaps considers more affected). In other words, she is criticizing some aspects of the intervention, asking for more(understandably) and suggesting what all the tiers of govts(FG, State, Local) should be doing ging forward. Some people apparently think you have to cant disagree with govt or give a different suggestion from govt's except you are 'condemning' GEJ. Pathetic. Meanwhile......

Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by divatosin(f): 10:08pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
It was absolutely necessary for GEJ to address the nation on the flood issue. If it were in America, the president would also do same over a natural disaster which is ravaging the entire nation. |
Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by Bukkyade: 10:16pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
I respect Ankio Briggs but she was not properly briefed on this one. The committee was formed as a fund raising committee. That is even the more reason why those moneybags were co opted to assist in raising money for the project. This natural disaster of flooding is more serious than we think. It is really a big threat to us all. I saw the picture where the minister of Aviation paddled a canoe into her residence in the village. Very serious. It deserves that level of attention that the president accorded it this morning with a broadcast. We must mitigate and prevent this disaster collectively. |
Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by Nobody: 10:21pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
it's so pathetic how cheap access to Internet has permitted mor.ons, jokers and illiterates to make senseless comments. Information concerning public expenditure is now an issue for debate when what you should be concerned about is how to hold the state governments, MDAs and local government responsible for every penny frittered away. The flood has happened and Jonathan has done his part by making provision to redeem the situation. it's left for the local, states, NEMA etc to make sure the money is not used to enrich some corrupt politician, contractors etc. What we should be clamouring for is a comprehensive dossier of how this money is spent. c |

Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by Vogue50: 10:39pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
There is no harm for Government to make known to the public their intentions in mitigating the flood disaster , the exact funds being set aside to carry out the project , ministries and agencies responsible to expedite action . Also have in mind that the fund raising committee comprises of people from the public and private sector , so it won't seem as if the government and it's public servants are collaborating to loot away our national funds. I believe the likes of Dangote and Adenuga. |

It is also possible that the man is not listening to any advice and has surrounded himself with a few warped minds. Meanwhile, the other advisers may be left with no other pre-occupation than chopping. |
Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by kawkab: 10:46pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
If the President did not address the nation people would come out and say he is not showing enough concern. Now he address the nation people are saying the speech is uncalled for. The committee set up is to raise more fund and to also disburse the fund and further mitigate the effects of the flood. |
Re: Ankio Briggs Condemns Jonathan’s Broadcast by tucker12(m): 11:06pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
I was practically upset when i watched the interview. Mrs Briggs was spot on and did not spare the pain of how the flood has ravaraged this regions and the pending doom. Look this flood issue is a national disaster that has erupted. and my fear is its about to move to stage two. After the flood comes the epidemic, Cholera outbreak!!!! and if not controls it will open the pandora's box of rage, anger and breakdown of what is left of Law and order. Oh did you say Aluu are salvages well you all will be shocked with how people will react when it becomes clear no water to drink, No food, not even bread, no farm, nothing!!! I like to call on churches to please come to the aid of people affected.... |
