dayokanu: Anyone that expected anything better from Retardeen given his antecedents is not being realistic

First Jonathan was installed by the corrupt politicians to protect their interest.

He has never excelled in any position before.

From his time as Bayelsa Deputy when he was Alams deputy stealing them dry or his reign as Governor where his wife was stealing the state dry

He has blatantly refused to declare his assets when his Boss Yar Adua did

Welcome to the Fresh air we voted since he had no shoes

Sincere 9gerian: .... the new Chief Justice of the Federation is taking steps to curb the impunity in the Judiciary. Recently, 3 Justices were sacked. About 14 Justices or so are currently being investigated by the National Judicial Council.........hose who abused the system are currently undergoing prosecution.

usmsam: @SincereNigerian, Rossike, Billyonaire and co
So all of you can sit in front of your computer all day lying blatantly and then pray to God later with no shame. I weep for you all.

Devils in human form!

One of those who have sold their souls to their paymasters.... I know a few more here on nl

If they provide proof today he'll still dispute it or find some excuse. See the olodo that's disputing how "scientific" American research is. The same science that made his modern life possible. 1diot

Rossikk:

GEJ has done more than the last 6 Nigerian leaders COMBINED. Infrastructure, education, health. ALL have seen improved investment in the last two years. Unless you are based abroad or living under a rock, you would know this. If Africa gets recolonized it will be because of dummies like you who lap up the deceptions of foreigners.

*idriis*:
Na Sango go AXE that your shameless head. Bastaaaaard!

The truth is the truth. Our people are collectivley happy with the way Nigeria and its culture continue without change. "Showing" hope as some complacent peope would say, means attacking anyone that "attacks" the country Nigeria, even if it's in their own interest.

The U.S. is correct, corruption is massive under GEJ. That doesnt say he alone is the reason, but he's part of the problem. The main culprit that the U.S. doesnt want to admit, although they know, is that the average Nigerian is corrupt, by involvement, by silence, or by "e no concern me".

Y'all trying desperately to turn the story around. This ain't about US.... It's about Nigeria, goddamn it! Whine on, and forget to look inward. Blame it on the yanks. But mind you they(USA) got steady light, water, health care, security, and you got NONE!

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?

Yes, Nigeria has a problem with corruption and it is the RESPONSIBILITY of every Nigerian and the govt to solve this problem. We do not need a saintly sermon from US before we know we need to get to work to solve the problem of corruption. After all the US is not immune from corruption. Who has been preaching to the US on the need to stop immoralities like gay marriages and homosexuality?

Lets take some quotes from the BASELESS report and puncture them.

"Police corruption remained rampant. Reports of checkpoint bribery and shooting incidents decreased in February after newly appointed Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar announced the closure of all police checkpoints across the country; however, illegal checkpoints remained common in some regions. Police routinely stopped drivers who did not commit traffic infractions, refusing to allow them to continue until they paid bribes,”

This is like speaking from both sides of the mouth. The closure of unnecessary police check points across the country was an action taken by the govt to curb corrupt practices among police officers. Unfortunately, that action has to be balanced with the need to also check insecurity. Not all police check points are "illegal" as stated in the report. Even if the target of completly eradicating illegal police check points have not been achieved, PROGRESS has been made. If one takes a trip all the way from Enugu to Rivers in day time, you'll hardly see police check points (except inter-state check points). But if the journey is done in the evening or night, one would see several check points. I dont know whether these check points are legal or illegal but for someone travelling at night, its a kind of reassurance that the road is safe.

Again, if the govt has banned illegal police check points, it is the responsibility of citizens to report any check point that is nuisance.

"the US government listed the escape of the suspected mastermind of the Boko Haram 2011 Christmas Day bombing from custody, noting how the police commissioner, who aided the suspect went unpunished"

Yes, Kabiru Sokoto escaped. But he was later captured. The police officer, whose negligence led to his escape was dismissed. I recall the case was investigated by the Police Service Commission which later announced his dismissal. Can someone who was dismissed be said to have gone "unpunished"? Some of us expected more punishment and prosecution but the Police Service Commission is an institution set up by law and it is safe to assume they took the RIGHT decision according to rules and law governing the police. There's no point playing to gallery.


"former Delta State governor James Ibori in the Southwark Crown Court in London of charges of money laundering and other financialcrimes totaling N12.4bn, after he was acquitted by a Nigerian court"

It was unfortunate that Ibori was acquitted by a Nigeria court but that happened under previous regime. Again, the Judiciary is a SEPARATE arm of govt. Fortunately, the new Chief Justice of the Federation is taking steps to curb the impunity in the Judiciary. Recently, 3 Justices were sacked. About 14 Justices or so are currently being investigated by the National Judicial Council.

"and the N1.067trn fuel subsidy fund lost to “endemic corruption and entrenched inefficiency”

The planned removal of fuel subsidy would have put a final stop to the corruption in the scheme. Unfortunately, the fuel subsidy was only partially removed. Those who abused the system are currently undergoing prosecution.

"In late July, the EFCC began arraigning suspects, first with a group of 20 indictments, including six oil companies and 11 individuals. By year’s end, the EFCC initiated prosecutions of approximately 50 cases related to the subsidy scam. The majority of these cases involved companies and individuals who had fraudulently received subsidy revenue. Investigations and trials had not produced any convictions by year’s end.”

The executive has done its part by bringing the suspected subsidy thieves to court. The rest is for the JUDICIARY.

"It decried frequent abduction of civilians and lack of press freedom, highlighting cases, where journalists were harassed and beaten up"

Which journalist was beaten up this year? It is very uncommon in Nigeria of recent. I can only remember one incident in Lagos. To use this as proof of "MASSIVE CORRUPTION" is ridiculous.

In conclusion, the report is BASELESS. The instances given to support "MASSIVE CORRUPTION" are porous. Yes, we have a problem with corruption but the solution lies with every Nigerian. We dont need "saints" from US to tell us how to solve our problem

I am commenting because it seems paid gov't agents are having a field day on the forum. I can't bear to read them praise a failed gov't.
Guys, Nigeria's gone to the dogs. I don't have any hope, not now, not in 2015! There's absolutely nothing that gives joy in this shithole of a place. No light, no pipe-borne water, filthy roads, polluted air, insecurity.. It's endless! Even the smallest emirate -Ajman, with no oil can boast of steady light, pipe-borne water, smooth road etc. Look at Nigeria, a shame! Horrible place made worse by dickheads in charge. They keep inventing old, failed policies to loot.
When y'all drive home, look at those faces at the bus stops. They are SAD, ANGRY and OPPRESSED! Because the corrupt leadership don't give a fvck about them!

me-in-me:
@fathai you are a bird with the same feather as Badluck nd his clique. No government is void of some corrupt practises but the question is, to what extent? You want to rub shoulder with the US government? Try nd rub it to the extend of the development they have achieved which Nigeria w'l not achieve in the next decade or more with the extent the effect of corruption is ripping Nigerians off their clothes. The truth is always hard to admit notminding from whom it came from. The fact is that Nigeria is heading to doom the way things are going nd it w'l not do us any good to support, cover-up or make excuses for our corrupt leaders. Let's call a spade a spade, we are moving backward nd need to call on God to save us from the evil hands of pharoas of our time.

misreal: what point av u made nw by abusing him??have u asked ursef a question hw come de u.s is now vewi interested in nigeria..or is it nt de same u.s dat sai ghana's economy which is nt even beta dan lagos economy is beta dan nigerias own.......

coputa: Corruption is massive in jonathans government because it is part of the total package apart from causing mayhem and chaos(insecurity) of the unseen forces to discredit his government...but he is the only nigerian president/head of state to be so focused despite the hatred and collective conspiracy against him..
