Another thread to bash GEJ. If he had declared his assets, we'll still find fault with it. The problem is that most Nigerians don't know the content of our constitution. The President must declare his assets with the Bureau. He can only make it public if he so chooses! Now what's GEJ's offence? Because he decided not to make the declaration public? Has he gone against the law? Let's not politicise every issue. Go tell the National Assembly to amend that part of the constitution and make public declaration of assets mandatory. Either way, GEJ IS THE WINNER! 8 Likes |

The man probably still doesn't give a damn. Articles like these are good tools for choosing candidate for 2015 election. GEJ has no inner strength to confront any public office holder who decides not to give a damn about asset declaration. I think the global anti-corruption body have a good point here. 1 Like |

One man's ignorance and arrogance has denied Nigeria membership in the Global anti-corruption body? Not only him precisely but anyone who has benefitted directly or indirectly through him as a result of corruption. When Nigeria was tagged highest user of private jets,it looked like a major achievement to the corrupt people in government despite the fact that poverty still dwells in the land. So how does he intend to fight corruption alone when he has refused to declare his asset? A President who stupidly said corruption is the 3rd problem Nigeria has. When asked to mention the first 2, he simply said "go and ask the Minister of Finance. A president who dumbly said Corruption occurs in a wedding too? Smh I only but weep for my country! 2 Likes |

When Nigeria was tagged highest user of private jets,it looked like a major achievement to the corrupt people in government despite the fact that poverty still dwells in the land. My dear sister, this is the point. This is a President taking Nigeria backwards in many ways. Ribadu recommended, in the report the Presidency tried to kill before Reuters leaked it, that Nigeria should stop, as the only major exporter of crude doing so, selling her oil through trader. Reason being that doing so keeps open avenues of fraud, corruption and blatant theft against Nigeria. Instead of implementing the recommendations of the petroleum task force, they focused on trying to ridicule and discredit Ribadu. A year later, the Petroleum task force report Ribadu produced is shredded and in the bin. Even Ghana that is new to selling oil, relative to Nigeria, is not displaying the aberrant practices GEJ is refusing to put an end to. Next minute the worshipers of mediocrity will come here insulting others and talking all manners of conspiracy theory plus inane jargon about why others are doing well in comparison to Nigeria when, daily, we all see what our leaders categorically fail to do in comparison to others. This is why we do not make the progress we ought to. I said it before he was elected that Jonathan is here to abet corruption. I think we can all now agree, except for those who fool themselves, that this is correct. 4 Likes |

He declared his assets publicly in 2007 as Vice President and he is yet to leave office, so why the request? Source http://pointblanknews.com/ Vice President Jonathan Bows To Pressure, Declares N0.2Billion In Assets VP Goodluck Jonathan The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau. The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420. This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892. Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’. He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years. “It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray. “This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said. In the assets declaration made public yesterday, it indicated that the vice president submitted his assets declaration before Justice Muktar Dodo of the Abuja high court on 30th May 2007, a day after the oath of office and oath of allegiance was administered on him. A break down of the assets of the vice president indicates that he has four buildings located in Yenegoa, Abuja and his home town in Ogbia, Bayelsa state. The Vice president said he owns a five bedroom Duplex in Gwarimpa 11, Abuja which was acquired in 2003 through loan and is valued at N24,990,000 while another Seven Bedroom Duplex, which he described as Village personal Home is located at Otuoke in Ogbia Local government area of Bayelsa state. It is valued at the cost of N18,000, 000 and was acquired through ‘savings and gifts in Kind.

Top on the list of the reasons given why Nigeria is still falling short is the blatant refusal of President Jonathan, alongside other public officials, to publicly declare their assets. Can we stop bitching around and discuss this issue holistically. Lets even assume the so called group has any meaningful contribution. While your all ignorantly bashing GEJ cos he broke no law, can we now safely apply the the same tar used on GEJ on Other Public officials. |

His actions encourages corruption from surrounding himself with crooks and convicts to pardoning convicted criminals and fugitives. He controls the efcc, but the efcc under GEJ is just a waste basket sucking away taxpayers money with nothign to show for it, but we still have corruption raging and public funds despairing everyday unabated..

Our government officials cannot continue dancing around the issue of asset declaration, if we plan on joining the league of nations renowned for transparency in public affairs any time soon. Removing the veil of secrecy which covers so many touch points into government, would not only deepen our nascent democracy but also strengthen our institutions. Why any well-meaning Nigerian would consider this a problem is beyond me If there is some encouragement to be drawn from the article provided by @Gbawe, it is simply that our membership of OGP is not too far off now. It is only a matter of time before those who currently bask in a state of ignorance become better enlightened about their civic responsibilities. Idi Amin: And if I may ask u Ode, what are the benefits of joining the useless organization in the first place. Park well my friend What is Open Government? Open government is the governing doctrine which holds that citizens have the right to access the documents and proceedings of the government to allow for effective public oversight.[1] In its broadest construction it opposes reason of state and other considerations, which have tended to legitimize extensive state secrecy. The origins of open government arguments can be dated to the time of the European Enlightenment: to debates about the proper construction of a then nascent democratic society.

jmaine:Its the usual NOISE and nothing more. If its not noise, then the NASS should amend the laws to make it mandatory for ALL public office holders to declare their assets PUBLICLY. Public declaration of assets by the president alone, apart from supplying haters with more tools for propaganda, does not in anyway help the war against corruption in the country. Except someone can explain to us how the public asset declaration by Yar Adua helped the war against corruption in Nigeria. A law must be passed (or the existing one amended) to make it mandatory for the president, vice president, all the governors, legislators, ministers, etc to declare their assets publicly. Although the president can sponsor executive bills to the NASS but responsibility of lawmaking rest mostly with the NASS. In fact, that is why members of the NASS earn huge salaries and allowances. |

Bruv, I don't even bother responding to those sort any more on NL. They are ill-exposed, clannish, uncouth, hideously dishonest and, above all, a waste of time. I hardly read their comments let alone care to respond to it even if I started the thread. I am all over Africa, specifically West Africa, and I see first hand what is becoming the norm, vis-a-vis leaders aspiring to adhere to best practices of governance, while we kid ourselves with an embarrassing level of backward administrative 'anomaly' now becoming extinct even in 'Banana republics' in Africa. Alas, as you infer, we can only only rely on evolution to eventually confer on some Nigerians a greater sense of civic responsibility that overcomes frivolity, clannishness and small-mindedness. Nothing encourages leaders like GEJ, patently corrupt to begin with, to be even more brazenly perverse if not the antics we see here where ready-made excuses are bandied around for undesirable leadership conduct that would gain the unanimous condemnation of the electorate elsewhere. 3 Likes |
