Personally, I never tot there wud b such a tin as a trial for subsidy thieves, and especially a trial for the 'owners' of Nigeria. He has balls. Weda the trial is killed at d inception or not is another mata: this wudnt hv happened 3 yrs ago! He deserves credit for so so so much.

I have a problem with the above, so I will go at it. Why do you feel the Government deserves so much credit for FINALLY hinting it will be doing what it ought to have done to begin with -- what should not have been a question or given second thought?

For a recap, The Government refused all through 2011 to investigate the subsidy fraud issue. NASS finally took the initiative, and then the Government decided late in the game to also set up it's own committees to do the same. Since April the House had made information on it's findings available to all, and the EFCC. However, not until July/August are we finally getting reports of possible prosecutions.

Just a question to get some clarification is all.

edicolove:

I am tempted to agree with you but that brings us back to the topic. Those who criticize GEJ claim people like Fashola have actually achieved so we could say it is also an offence to support Fashola. You get the drift?

I love your tactics bruv, it never fails at all . . .Hanging them with their own weaved noose

iykak47: The people that accuse Jonathan suppoters of supporting him even when he is wrong are the same people that swore never to say anything good about the man as if he is responsible for all their problems, an example is their criticisms yesterday/today on Jonathan over the prosecution of Oil cabals, some of them are confuse they don't really know what they want from the president.
It's unfortunate to think opening the mouth like a burst pipe and allow words fall unchecked is part of patriotism

When some of GEJ haters run out of ideas they resort to insults, calling you 40 laptop,
if they call the president retard and you re-direct the insult to their fathers,some would warn you not to insult other people's fathers as if Jona is a bachelor, they are ready to give blow but are not ready to receive.

They think they can bully others into submission, far far foul.

In FRESH AIR[b] the winning team i trust.

The good news is that . . . . . .GEJ rocks till 2015, and we shall be here to [b] pulverize their already battered ego and then knock those pathetic hate filled cynical species into line . . . . . .
Bunch of maggots who term themselves progressives . . .

My brother, they are simply expressing their low self esteem and the thuggish DNA that runs through ACN. What morals are to be expected from the followers when the ACN boss is a drug baron and serial forger?

Like leader, like follower. All NURTW.

Their attitude is a stark admission of their moral and intellectual inferiority.

Pataki:

ICPC boss was changed during GEJ's tenure, has it changed the face of corruption in Nigeria?

EFCC boss was sacked during GEJ's tenure, has it changed the face of corruption in Nigeria?

Police boss, Minister of Defence, Security adviser, etc, all sacked has it improved situation in Nigeria?

Rather, Nigeria is rolling in the doldrums of gross insecurity, corruption and ineptitude never seen in over 50 years of existence. No thanks to the clueless one President Retardeen.

there's nothing else to add after this.

dedeike: It's not easy to accept the achievements of someone you have sworn to hate.
They keep raising the bar everyday yet Gej keeps beating it. They are frustrated. The campaign of calumny is failing. The lies from Sahara SHOPRITE of lies are becoming counter productive. They started too early in the day to criticise him for non performance but now with each passing day, he records major milestones.

where? Can't u see? Or are u in prison?

For once, you people should try and stay in the middle and analyze things objectively. GEJ can and should do better, this is the era of the social media, the citizen journalist, nothing is hidden, almost nothing is sacred. The list of GEJ's achievements is like a bad comedy script. I fail to see how any of this is different from what any other Nigerian ruler including the mass murderer (Abacha), the bully (OBJ), the King Kong of all criminals (IBB) and others have done. A case in point is IBB and a list of his accomplishments:

Babangida's Achievements; Chronicles of an Over Achiever


Building a New Ultra Modern City - Abuja

IBB realized the vision of Abuja as Federal capital city by providing its most vital infrastructure and moving the seat of government from Lagos in 1991.

Telecommunications

Mobile telecommunications, which is so commonplace today in Nigeria, was introduced as a result of the liberalization of the telecom industry by the Babangida administration, an initiative that over the years has made massive impact on the Nigerian economy.

Privatization

The privatization of the broadcast industry, the licensing of private universities and airlines; the liberalization of the banking industry, including the establishment of community banks (now micro-finance institutions), rank among his best legacies.

Economic Policy

The Babangida economic policy was predicated most importantly on the need to reverse the downward trend of the economy and arrive at a realistic exchange rate for the naira. The Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was a necessary strategy to achieve economic recovery. It was not a capitulation to the dictates of the World Bank and IMF, but a critically-considered plan aimed at providing the platform for successfully recapturing the inflationary trend within a stipulated period of economic emergency. Deregulation, privatization and economic self reliance were key elements in the policy thrust. In the process most of the poorly-performing government-owned enterprises were sold off to private investors. The new policy also did away with the regime of import licensing which in turn allowed the entry of essential commodities into the country, thus ending the long and tiring queues, which Nigerians, for some years, had to endure for food.

Rural Development

Rural development was a very key aspect of the Babangida regime�s economic plan for Nigeria. Approximately 90,857.40 kilometres of feeder road were constructed, thus opening up hundreds of rural communities to the rest of the country for the first time; electricity, water supply and improved health services reached many more rural folk than ever before. Most of those projects were implemented by DFRRI � the Directorate of Food, Roads and Rural Infrastructure, an agency created by the Babangida administration.

Gender Equality

The Babangida administration was the first to implement a gender sensitive agenda. It created a National Commission for Women that later became the Ministry of Women Affairs. Many women were appointed to key positions in national institutions, among which was the first female vice-chancellor of a Nigerian university; and women occupied strategic portfolios in the Federal Cabinet for the first time. The Better Life for Rural Women, a programme which was anchored by the late First Lady, Hajiya (Dr.) Maryam Babangida, was highly successful in mobilizing women to rise to the challenge of economic empowerment.

MAMSER

MAMSER (Mass Mobilization for Self-reliance, Social Justice and Economic Recovery), was and still remains the best ever exercise in political re-orientation undertaken by any administration in Nigeria. Its central goal was to canvass nationwide support for the Babangida administration�s Political Transition Programme and to promote self-sufficiency in the nation�s economy.

Youth Employment

In order to halt the ever increasing rate of unemployment among the youth, the Babangida administration created the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) in 1987. Its main task was to alleviate their suffering and provide them with the necessary skills to be self-employed. By 1997 nearly 107,000 youths had received the benefits of this initiative, and many more still do.

Consultative Government

Despite heading a military regime President Ibrahim Babangida ran the most consultative administration ever in the annals of Nigerian history. Before deciding on the IMF loan, the issue was subjected to a nationwide public debate. When the people gave a resounding NO verdict Babangida went along with their wishes and called off further negotiations. The commencement of the Political Transition Programme in 1988 was also preceded by a nationwide quest to find the right political system for the nation. Conducted by the Political Bureau to a highly enthusiastic participation by the public, the debate produced very concrete suggestions for the establishment of a more balanced and united Federation, and the key elements distilled there-from served as the template for the subsequent structural and constitutional realignment of the Nigerian nation.

National Unity

The Babangida administration, conversant with the geo-politics of Nigeria, particularly the fears of ethnic domination and marginalization, sought to correct the perceived structural imbalances of the Federation by the creation of more states. Eleven states of Nigeria, two of which were born in 1987 (Akwa Ibom, Katsina) and the latter in 1991 (Abia, Anambra, Delta, Jigawa, Kebbi, Kogi, Osun, Yobe and Taraba); and over 200 new Local Government Areas, owe their existence to this August effort.

Foreign Policy

Under the Babangida administration Nigeria demonstrated to the world its capacity to play the highest leadership role in African affairs. The formation of the West African Peace Monitoring Force, ECOMOG (a Babangida initiative), anchored by bold and heroic Nigerian troops, brought peace to war-torn Liberia and Sierra Leone, an achievement that further cemented the role of Nigeria as the great protector and promoter of international peace.

there's nothing else to add after this. If it is possible can someone proof the above qoute wrong?

You mean can someone please attack Pataki some more so he will probably stop posting what we cannot deny?

Rotflmao @ Kobo!

I can't believe you are still giving them a moment of your time. When they decided to go the ALATIKA (someone please translate ) route, I knew twas time to step out of it.

Are they still hating? Let me rewind the achievements again so that enemies of progress will lament.

The transformation agenda is on course. Reforms are ongoing in every sector. The finance ministry is carrying out bio metric evaluation of federal civil servants  to reduce waste. This has already yielded dividends as over 126 billion as pension fund scam has been revealed and the accused persons charged to court. EFCC has secured an order for seizure of the assets of these accised persons. There is the new integrated online payment system which helps the minister monitor transfer of public funds. Our foreign reserves have risen again to 37 billion dollars. Our domestic borrowing is being reduced.

By july, we have attained 56 % budget implementation. Those corrupt person's who are at the receiving end of the new strongent conditions for release of govt funds are crying bitterly. There's the proposed Soveriegn Wealth Fund to cater for excess oil sale proceeds. Minimum wage has been increased to 18, 000.

In roads infrastructure, Zaria-Funtua-Gusau roads, Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works,  dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, Dualisation  of Ibadan -Ilorin, ENUGU-Onitsha, completion of OWERRI -Onitsha,    9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 265 km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation. Keffi -Akwanga-Lafia, award of Afikpo-Okigwe, Auchi-Okene being handled by Setraco. Loko-Eweta-Karishi bridge, Kolo-Nembe -Brass, Lafia -Obi -Awe. Access roads to Eleme and Mossimi ports.

Ok. The reason I said so is because, despite all d idealism we all front here, dis is still Nigeria and all and any judgment must be given in dat context.
I am close to d system and I know d rot in d system as well as d enormous pressure these guys face from different persons to do corrupt acts. It is not easy resisting someone who gave u 20 million to help in ur elections. So wen u see d names on d subsidy trial list and rememba dat these ar movers and shakers of Nigerian society who past leaders ordinarily wud not touch. So for him to touch dem and damn d consequences, he deserves some credit.
Take BH for example. Was it not cos of some political and economic 'toes' that GEJ stepped on that was partly responsible for BH?

Buahahahahahahaha!!! I thought you said its 40 laptops? This is just 8 na! Still way short of 40. Or are there ghost laptops too? Common, more names please. If you can't name 40, it would be thrown out for lack of credible evidence.

Meanwhile, we could play a game. Let's name the for and against groups and see who gets to 40 first? It could be an interesting one you know. Am begining to think maybe El Rufai actually setup a 40 laptop squad and decided to accuse the GEJ camp of setting it up. Hmmm! Its cuelled from the 48 laws of power me thinks! An old trick. "The accused always carries the burden of guilt!". But they also forgot the counter to that law. A clear conscience fears no accusation. Lol

um. . . . some facts you ought to know of me. I don't care who you claim to be, how close or far from the system you are. As long as the issue is about doing the job, number one remains doing exactly what you were hired to do. Any other things and "issues" come secondary. I don't give a flying f**k whether someone is dangling $2 or $2 billion in front of you. You have a job -- you do it or you say you can't and you resign.

Here I ask you to clarify a statement you made on giving the Government(elected and paid for by the Nigerian people, to ensure that all criminals are prosecuted and justice is served the people at the end of the day) a pat on the back for finally doing what the Nigerian people have demanded it get done since 2010/2011, and your response is?
