Fresh Hair! grin

On a serious note, I say thanks to Mr President for the praises showered on him.
Now, one of the aims of the MDGs is 'eradicating extreme poverty and hunger' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Development_Goals, [url] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty[/url]).

Unfortunately, this will remain a mirage if Mr President is afraid to fight corruption, a major sustainer of poverty.

The President said “ When you talk about corruption, the private sector is involved; the public sector is involved; even individuals. But I wouldn’t want to mention names so that I will not be attacked.

chukwuinya: i hav neva heard of any social protection scheme before,what is it all about when that one start for this naija
It is a social safety net programme known as conditional cash transfer(cct). As the name implies it is conditional and if an individual or household meets certain conditions, they are entitled to join the scheme. It isn't always sharing of 'free' money; it varies from State to State. For instance, Ogun State targets pregnant women;who must attend ante natal and prenatal care sessions. In return, they are paid an allwance and are given a 'Mama Kit'. IN Ondo STate, beneficiaries are targeted frm househlds classified as extremely poor and are given a Basic INcome Guarantee(BIG) of 5000 mnthly for a certain number of months and then given a lump sum which I cannt remember called a PRAI (poverty reduction accelerator investment) to set up a business.

Excellent, I am not surprised at all. I keep saying that Dr. GEJ is the greatest black President ever(greater than Obama of US).

Congrat your Excellency Sir.

The Federal and States Min of Information and National Orientation Agency will do a lot of good to educate and enlighten Nigerians of every government program.

Long Live GEJ

When last did you travel out of your current base by road, rail or air? Have you applied for a business loan lately? These are some of the areas where there are positive changes, but if you don't use them you won't feel their impact.

I'm not sure the report that Nigeria has attained 65% reduction in maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is right. I have spent the last 7 months researching maternal mortality trend in Nigeria. I never came across any proven research that supports the assertion that Nigeria has made such tremendous progress. Such assertion is only objectively possible if a nation-wide health survey is conducted. I havent been in Nigeria for some months though. However, if a survey was conducted, I surely would have known about it.
I have searched through all known databases (known to me), I didn't come any one reporting such massive drop in MMR for Nigeria. Even on UN agencies website, none of them could make such grand assertions without having any survey conducted. According to the UN MDG report, the MMR. The latest report on MDG puts MMR in Nigeria at 630 (WHO 2013). MMR in Nigeria has never dropped to 350. Facts don't lie but politicians and journalists do.
I wont allow my work to be ridicule abeg o smiley . My thesis is on 'reducing maternal mortality in Nigeria following the success in Bangladesh'

^^^^^^^^

My thoughts exactly.

If the NBS findings were to be true, then I'm impressed at such laudable achievements with ongoing security issues, entrenched corruption and a large proportion of society not understanding and enacting the word... civic responsibility..

I suppose an independent, apolitical NGO should monitor these figures and make public, their verifiable results.

Thank God for the internet. Research and believe. Fresh Air 2015.

By the way who says GEJ isn't fighting corruption? He is but that the way its been done in the past. The wise ones say prevention is better than cure. how many FG establishments see free money 2 steal these days? Don't worry in some months time he'll chase the likes of Aliyu Babaginda, Ameachi, Oshiomole and Lamido.

You cannot fight corruption except you set up the Institutions. The first is a transparent Constitution which we do not have in Nigeria. The Constitution is CORRUPT. Something like a corrupt operating system in a computer. NOBODY can reduce corruption in Nigeria without FISCAL FEDERALISM. Stop hating JONA for nothing. In the circumstance, GEJ is very good.

Education doesn't mean anything unless it is education to uplift and make Nigerians nationalistic and give us self pride. If we are educated to feel inferior then it is useless.

Thanks a lot for your concern. It would blow your mind to discover I love 'JONA' more than you do. You wrote about corrupt constitution aka corrupt operating system in a computer. What do you do when such scenario plays out. Is it not to reformat your Hard Disk Drive. [size=14pt]Tell me, what tangible effort has the ruling PDP made to enshrine 'FISCAL FEDERALISM' in our 'CORRUPT Constitution' since May 29, 1999?[/size]

'JONA' is good. Unfortunately, he is like the Biblical seed sowed among torns (PDP). He will never utilize his goodness as long as the CABAL (PDP) surround him. There's no doubt he has good intentions for Nigeria. But his hands are tied, as a loyal party man....We, as a nation can't continue with mediocre performance churned out since May 29, 1999 by the UGLY CABAL, the PDP!
