omenka: Stop seeing igbo in your every nightmare! You want buhari as the next president? Vote for him! But desist from all those snide comments about Biafrans. Yorubas played as much role as Biafrans in making jonathan the president during the last elections. Thre are yorubas in his government. Igbos are not the reason your Imam buhari won't be the next president, his dangerous pedigree/politics are! So let the igbos off this one. Coherent enough for you slowpoke now? 2 Likes 1 Share |

9jagirl4ree:Do always take in everything in hook, line with the sinker? The guy just 'spak', he didn't provide the link. The guy sabi lie, it's somalia, North Korea and Afghanista that has always shared the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most corrupt for some years now. The following qoute is an from an article by thisday newspaper published on 6/12/2012. We ranked 35th in 2012 and 39th last year. We improved on the 'perception index' truly but not that drastic. See below. With the latest ranking, Nigeria moved up four places from its ranking of 143 out of the 183 nations surveyed by TI in 2011. The country was ranked 134 out of 178 surveyed nations in 2010; 130 out of 180 nations in 2009; 121 out of 180 in 2008; 147 out of 180 countries in 2007; and 153 out of 180 surveyed nations in 2006.. Pick ur calculator, minus it and see the positions. Link: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/transparency-int-l-ranks-nigeria-35th-most-corrupt-nation/132720/ And on his strategy and buhari's, u can't fight it without jailing the convicted as the constitution says and also prison will not stop corruption. Combination of both and a host of others will. Like making minsters accountable 4 their ministries. The national assembly asked u to come and disclose as d constitution says, u're telling them u're only accountable to ur president, and the president didn't deem it fit to order her to comply, smh! 1 Like |

It seems Jonathan did not understand how corruption has shaped Nigerian politics over the years. Corruption is the magic word to get the southerners on the side of any leader. Just come out to say you will tackle corruption and the southern press will line up behind you. The first coup in the 60s was to fight corruption, the Buhari overthrow of shagari was claimed as fighting corruption even when it was clear that nigeria's problem stemmed from falling oil price then. The Okhar coup against Babangida was claimed as fighting corruption, Abiola was voted for in 1993 because folks felt that he was rich and as such will have no reason to steal the common wealth. Obasanjo simply labelled his political enemies as corrupt people and unleashed the efcc on them, to the praise of the gullible masses. ask any Nigerian today between Tinubu and Ibori's who is more corrupt and most will tell you that Ibori is the more corrupt of the two, forgetting that Ibori impacted positively more on the lives of the people of Delta state than Tinubu did to the people of Lagos. This simply came about because Ibori was successfully branded as a thief and Tinubu as a progressive. All Jonathan needed to have done to win the praise of the masses was to have labelled some folks as corrupt and made so much noise over their head. The southern press would have been singing how much they love Jonathan for fighting corruption, even though at the end of the day no one will actually go to jail for corruption. Just like in Obasanjo case, majority of those who took the rap for "corruption " where his political enemies. Jonathan instead of making noise about corruption decided that the best way to frustrate corruption was to tighten govt processes. Instead of continuing the corrupt oil subsidy, he opted to end it out right thereby blocking that loophole, the mafia didn't like that, the masses did not understand the game. Instead of continuing the agricultural subsidy, he chose to register farmers and give them direct access to agricultural inputs thereby eliminating some corruption in the agricultural sector. Southern Nigerians like melodrama, just make some drama about corruption and they will come dancing around you. As for the northerners only God knows what they want. To many of them, unless you are from the north, you are not good enough to rule. 2 Likes 1 Share |

9jagirl4ree:My dear, it seems u don't understand what being a good administrator entails! If GEJ was to be a good administrator, how come the $20b is still unaccounted for? How come #100bn of pension fund went missing? How come $1bn for Nigerian Army arms and they are still complaining? How come Immigration scandal, no one was held accountable? How come there is massive looting in his cabinet ministers..eg $10b for petroleum ministers servicing of ha personal aircraft..how abt chibok girls..where are they now...whose talking abt them in govt? When iyanya bomb blast happened, the next day, he went to campaign in kano...And you call jonathan a good administrator?? Buhari can still effect the same change by tackling corruption in the civilian ad..all he needs to do is to strengthen the institutions by funding them massively and giving them free hand to run their stuff! That's all! Do you think, if an average police man on the road earns up to 120k/month and their welfare is well taken care of...do you think #20/#50 ud entice him again? Or do you think he won't go extra mile to secure the state? The politicians know all these things they just want the institutions bent on dia knees to do dia bidding; meanwhile they are supposed to be neutral! Imagine the president using the IG of police to tell tambuwal to vacate d seat of speaker, asif the IG is court himself...? It's because the institution has been crippled! And as they said, when u can't stand up 4anything, u ud fall 4 everything... As it is in the US, if obama messes up, the fbi ud come and ppick him straight...these one is not the case of 'shebe am the 1 funding you na'? The money is ours, and it should be used to fund the systems; but they make us bliv that they are the ones doing us a favour.. 2 Likes |

The truth the clueless one and his friends honestly believe in a corrupt Nigeria. They believe in a share the money type of government. If you look beyond GEJ previous statements and into his past, you will discover he truly believes in being corrupt. It was with the same boldness obasanjo showed his being corrupt to all of us. These men are not alone. There supporters believe in a "share the money type of government". therefore we( the sane part of Nigeria) must rise up and wrestle power from these idiots OBJ put to lord over us. 1 Like |

Goodluck has serious character defect related to money and corruption. Please study his actions well beginning when he was deputy governor. He is gentle and humble in everything except money. The most aggressive I have seen Good luck Jonathan in the last ten years was when money was involved. He was having a humble interview until someone spoke about asset declaration and he gave his I don't give a damn speech. The Nwobodo speech was also made in anger and fear. It is actually the altitudes of a village thief to a policeman. This man has serious native dishonesty and God has already stopped him. Let tribalists and northo-phobic sentimentalists continue deceiving themselves. If you give this man a second term he will RUIN this country. He is a very strange character, completely UN-interested in good name, reputation or even a legacy but strongly interested in money for himself and his cronies. 3 Likes 1 Share |

9jagirl4ree:my dear according to what I learnt from social studies back then in primary and sec sch I was taught that family is the smallest fraction or unit in the society.What am i gearing at? am saying that if we really need to curb this menace that is eating this society it begins with you and I. That America is successful today is because people report inappropriate movement , atrocious behaviour and any evil they perceive around them whether your family, relation or friend they believe in Justice but down here is quite different. we can conceal the crime of an uncle, a brother, aunt mother , father or a friend as long as we see them as our own .As for me charity they say begins at home.We want to fight corruption, it has to start with us. |

9jagirl4ree:you don't pull up those quotes out of the contest and expect an objective discuss. Did you witness bakassi boys era? Did that do anything to crime rate then in Anambra? but here, we have a governor who has positioned CCTV at strategic positions to curb crime, and I can tell you that crime has reduced to the minimum in Anambra. You hardly hear of robbery in Anambra, infact it doesn't exist anymore. Gej has embarked on similar tactics, because he believes that prevention is better that cure. He has made sure that people in government have less access to the raw funds, eg in fertiliser distribution that has been an area where corruption has thrived over the years is no longer the same again, this is because E-wallet was developed, it has removed diversion or any attempt to siphon money from the FG. Another one is having DaTA base for all workers in the country. This one alone has saved a lot for government, by removing ghost workers that abound in every sector. So preventing people from having access to the fund can go a long way, in strengthening our institution. Which I find very welcome unlike chasing around perceive enemy which will also escalate another problem. For instance if GEJ jails borno state governor for an alleged misappropriation of funds or embezzlement people will attack him for hunting his opponent! This can't stop corrupting in the system!! #Myopinion |
