Rossikk: Actually, the reason we can employ gatemen is because we can afford to, just like we can afford to hire house helps, drivers etc. The cost of labour is low compared to the west, where only rich fat cats like Obama and Bill Gates can employ security, drivers and butlers. If ordinary westerners could afford private security, they'd all get it at the drop of a hat due to their high crime rate, including burglaries, mugging and murder. So try another excuse for hating Nigeria. This one just failed. I pity the person that sent you to School 3 Likes |

LRNZH: I knew you were ging to link me to this Source. This was what the Source said the President ACTUALLY said (ie the words in double quotation marks): "Today’s launch has acquired greatest significance, following last Friday’s unprovoked attack, which led to the loss of lives and has left, in history, gory images for the threat terrorism now poses to the peace and security of our nation and the safety of our citizens. Since the last bombing and the October1, 2010, I had directed the hastening of efforts to build a credible database of drivers and vehicles in order to improve public safety. The importance of this project is reaffirmed by the consistence use of vehicles in the conduct of the recent bombing episodes. Having 'strong links as to those involved in this terror war' IS NOT THE SAME as 'knowing the SPONSORS of BH'!! If you did English in Skul, it should not be difficult to understand the difference bw what he said and what you (and the Newspaper's Title) apparently interpreted it as. |

koruji: You have tunnel vision. What about the gatemen to whom you pay pitiance? Is that also making them real Nigerians? Unfortunately he's not very educated, which could be for religious reasons. It's hardly the government's fault he can't get a job as a banker. He's got an income, he's well fed, and he's probably happier than many jobless westerners on welfare who sit home and await their free cheques every Friday. 1 Like |

When ever we start revolution please someone should remind us to start from the judiciary from chief justice of the federation to ordinary judges then executives past and present, lawmakers too then their families . We turn their houses into museums and school let me keep that in mind. |

Not that I am a supporter of Jonathan, but we should realize Americans say these things out of self interest. Why have they all of a sudden gotten interested in Nigeria when evidence of corruption was ample long ago? Is it because of Nigeria's newfound oil? Is it because Nigeria is getting better and they want to interfere? Us Africans are too dependant on others, and the help we seek always ends up damaging us even further. I say let them talk, and heed their words however we make our own decisions. 1 Like |

taharqa: Reading dis report, my take of what I hv considerd as d WEAKEST LINK in d Fight against Corruptn in Nigeria, has bn reenforced ie THE JUDICIARY... As d article indicatd, Many cases already in courts, important laws like d FOI hv bn passd, important tactics like Removal of Police Roadblocks and d Govt increasingly EXPOSING and OPENING up both Past and Ongoing Scams- yet d Perceptn of Corruptn is still unacceptably high. There is REAL need for COMPLETE Judicial Overhaul (esp its Speed and Efficiency), a process that shld be led by d President and those in oda Arms of Govt who shld be put unda Pressure by those people in d Public who are actuali interestd in 'Fighting' Corruptn for d Sake of d Nation and for themselves instead of using it as a TOOL; a situatn where Cases (whether Corruptn relatd ones Or Not) spend Ages in court shld is Unacceptable and be STOPPED. The Appointment of Special Judges (or Courts) for Corruptn Cases, which has bn demanded by MOST including AntiCorruptn Agencies, shld be done by d CJN Asap..... The President surely ought to do MORE, or rather Led, in what shld be a National DISPASSIONATE Fight against Corruptn and InsecurityNigeria is trapped in a vicious cycle. Politicians nominate persons to be appointed judges by the NJC. Since politicians are corrupt they will nominate only people of their ilk to be appointed judges. Once in office, corrupt judges protect corrupt politicians. |

Sincere 9gerian: Another BASELESS report from the US. The fact that the west has suddenly become very critical of the federal govt should raise the suspicion of every patriotic Nigerian. The US have been firing from all cylinders of recent. What are they up to? Does the US mean well for Nigeria? Is this all about the PIB and oil multinationals? another retardinho pawn...when did homosexuality become a basis to compare with nigeria's widespread corruption, which has crippled almost all sectors of human development? the 3 arms of nigerian government are unarguably very corrupt and of course the same corruption tickles down to the masses....u cant have anything done without paying processing fee! so, sh#t the f>>U#k up! |

[s] Rossikk: "Yet Nigeria in spite of its wealth blah blah blah". What wealth? Our oil reserves are very tiny for our population and size. We are 170 million people yet we produce only as much oil as tiny Kuwait of two million people. Stop deceiving people that Nigeria has all this great wealth. WE DON'T. I read somewhere that for all our "great wealth", our annual budget is the same as that of Harvard University. The key to Nigeria's future is diversification away from oil, not sitting around counting pennies and telling ourselves we have "great wealth", and blaming politicians for stealing "all our great wealth". Rubbish. To contribute, use your brains and establish industries and businesses that are not dependent on oil largesse. The world is moving away from oil and fossil fuels. Reserves are depleting globally. Use your own initiative and help diversify your economy. The income from oil will NEVER be enough to develop Nigeria even if it was ruled by saints.[/s] Nonsense and trash. It is not up to Havard University, it is not up to Kuwait bla bla bla. That is why we call it savings and investment. As you save and prioritise your investments, you grow your assets over the years and you earn more. So quit that nonsense talk. That resources are limited that is the why we talk of prudence and investment in high priority areas. It is not enough, so you steal the little you have? It is not all about government bla bla bla, what investment has the government made in areas of high priority. Private individuals will invest in those that are key to development but have a very long cycle? You are absolutely deluded if you think so. So the northern part is not a part of Nigeria, so what is the excuse? Is it also different in the creeks? Where did you get your HDI data for Edo and Lagos from? So you bring out lies to justify your ignorant views? |
Re: Corruption Is Massive Under Jonathan – US by ajibaby2: 11:18pm On Apr 22, 2013 |
Abati should shut up his stooling mouth. It is high time the youth rose up and fight for their right. All our ogas @ d top are sycophants and bunch of miscreants who make policies that favour only them. We have laws for the masses and for the elites. A pen thief will embezzle, not only get away with it but will also make a name for himself like a movie star while the one who steals commodity or a meagre sum of money will be lynched by the public or granted death penalty by the same awry and corrupt judiciary system who acquits the mighty money peddlers. This is totally unfair. Nigerians are known to have 'shock absorbers'. we have the gene of adapting to all 'ish'. We no go tired to say our prayer 'God dey'.

"Parachute researches" what on earth is wrong with this Abati guy? That phrase alone made me literally laugh out loud.

ballabriggs: [s][/s] What rubbish is this one talking about? Savings from what income? Nigeria's oil income is MINISCULE. Recurrent expenditure already takes up something like 60% of the federal budget. Then capital expenditure which is never enough to satiate the needs of 170 million people. You have to develop assets that will create sufficient income streams that enable you create a credible savings regime for the long term. So quit that nonsense talk. That resources are limited that is the why we talk of prudence and investment in high priority areas. How do you sustain those high priority investments without a robust income base? Resources are limited, so you DIVERSIFY you income sources. Income in modern developed nations is not natural resource dependent. ''Prudence'' can only get you so far if you are not diversifying your economy. It is not enough, so you steal the little you have? At the very most, maybe a quarter of annual income is lost to corruption. But the income itself is tiny, and would be grossly insufficient even without corruption. The impact of corruption is grossly overstated. What we need is to effect policies that grow our GDP. Eventually poverty will be eliminated even with corruption. It is not all about government bla bla bla, what investment has the government made in areas of high priority. Infrastructure, roads, power, are all seeing higher investment than before. Even education. So the northern part is not a part of Nigeria, so what is the excuse? Who do YOU blame when many in the north do not wish to better themselves via education? Do you know they are parts of the north where parents used to be paid by their state govts to send their children to school? Is it also different in the creeks? Where did you get your HDI data for Edo and Lagos from? So you bring out lies to justify your ignorant views? Ok.. Lagos and Edo have the same HDI level as Sokoto and Borno State. HAPPY?
