Matthewbriggs:

I think the reason most Nigerians think GEJ is not doing so much about corruption is because. GEJ has failed in communicating clearly his stance on corruption,

Matthewbriggs:

Combined with the fact that he has handled poorly in addressing the key corruption scandals that has rocked his administration.

Matthewbriggs:


I need fact and links to support your allegations. Then I would respond to them.

Secondly Holatin I would like to ask you to ask you have you asked Fashola why he is yet to domesticate the freedom of information bill.

Matthewbriggs:

The challenge is that they fail to realize that there are two main strategies of fighting corruption. They are Prevention and Prosecution. In my opinion I think Good luck is using a prevention strategy.

Matthewbriggs:

Prosecuting and sending corrupt people to prison is not the best way to tackle corruption. It is a short term strategy that provides immediate gratification but actually does little in fighting in corruption in the long term.

Matthewbriggs:

The best way to tackle corruption is building systems, erecting structures and strengthen institution making it more harder for corrupt people to carry out corruption in the first place, and making it easier to detect corruption.

Matthewbriggs:

I am bold to say GEJ excelled in his prevention strategy. Example is How GEJ ended 40 Years Of Corruption In The Agricultural Sector. Most you already know this story.

The government use to disburse free fertilizers to farmers through middle men. But they discovered that these middle men instead of giving the fertilizers free to farmers, in fact sold the free fertilizers to farmers. This is what GEJ did. Instead of jailing all the middle men engaged in this act an approach that would be very ineffective. He and his team designed an e-wallet system to disburse the funds for the fertilizers directly to the farmers cutting off the middle men.
This strategy has the saved the government millions of naira and now the farmers are now smiling. This is a perfect example of how his government is taking preventive measures to tackle corruption.

Matthewbriggs:

The consolidation of e-banking and the use of e-payment software to pay civil servants has made it more harder for corruption to take place ... In fact the government has save billion of naira after detecting over 60,000 ghost workers. In the Nigeria of today corrupt activities can now be easily detected, the days of ghana must go is over. because now payments are now electronic. Under him the banks are now more closely regulated.

Matthewbriggs:

Therein lies the back bone of the matter, Going forward if GEJ wins he needs to design a robust strategy on corruption one ... It is also important he communicates his stance on corruption clearly and most importantly his resolve to get rid of this panacea from Nigeria.

@Matthew

I want you to look at this scenario and be very honest with your reply. A father has a notorious son that steals every single meat in a pot whenever he enters the kitchen. Would you suggest the father hides the pot, lock the kitchen or simply use punishment as a deterrent from that act of stealing.

Simply hiding the pot or locking the kitchen mean he will simply extend the stealing outside if and when he gets the chance.

You keep talking about measures and systems but forgetting the simple fact of human (especially criminal minded Nigerians) factors

The first step of fighting corruption is education. The president needs to retract the statement he made on common stealing isn’t corruption. Stealing is bad and all criminals should face the wrath of the law

If truly he is a drug baron as claimed why as the us not requested for his aarrest unlike kashamu buruji. Tinubu goes to the us ooften.abi he don bribe oObama?
Enough of this plastic and cosmetics surgery to corruption under jona. Explain this
Before yar'adua died subsidy was just 900 bill which was really inflated. Your guy under 1 year it jumped to 2.3 trillion. How do you justify this. Kerosene wich I still byis soLD for 145 per liter .but they still claim they are subsidizing it and that it is sold for 50 naira this we all know is a lie.
Looking at the so-called airport rremodeling. It is a total scam.which have you been to recently .the value of money paid is not reflected in the quality of what is on ground..tha MM1 and MM2 they are below world standard in terms of furnishings, aesthetic and facilities. The central AC system breaks down often.
You talked about agriculture. I will say in terms of NPK for farmers yes it is a little better than before ,but there is still corruption.during the allocation period.
With the huge amount of money being claimed by the agric mminister been spent on rice.we ought to be eating locally made rice now. I bet you.. During this festive period how many saw this rice. I can tell you authoritatively 97% of Nigerians eat Thai rice.take the award of the CCTV system in abuja.what is the status of it today?
Take the military for example with close to 5 trillion what have we achieved
This was the same army which was without such funding during the sirelone and Liberian crisis dealt with the rebels whose skill and manpower were far more worse than that of boko haram.
Now tell me i not corruption .

During my search for other primary evidence on this
matter, I stumbled on a case with a suit number
FHC/ABJ/M/340/06, filed on August 21, 2007 at the
Federal High Court, Abuja. As indicated in this file,
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s -led EFCC named Mrs.
Patience Jonathan, wife of Goodluck Jonathan, as an
accomplice in the N104million money laundering
case involving one Mrs. Nancy Ebere Nwosu. The
amount in question was stated in this file to be
laundered on the order of Mrs Patience Goodluck into
a First Bank of Nigeria account number
3292010060711 held in the name of Nansolyvan
Public Relations Limited by one Hanner Offor.
Still not satisfied with this new primary source on
the issue at hand, further effort was exerted to dig
into the archive. Again, we (with help from an NGO)
stumbled on the EFFC’s affidavit used in supporting
the above mentioned suit’s originating summons.
In this document, Ofem Uket, the then EFCC
prosecuting officer declared, “Our investigations
revealed that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of the
Governor of Bayelsa State, was the person who
instructed one Hanner Offor to launder the said sum
of N104, 000, 000 into the account of Nansolyvan
Public Relations Limited with First Bank of Nigeria
Plc (FBN), Niger House, Marina, Lagos”.
To further establish the veracity of this discovery, I
was forced to search for a court ruling on this
matter. Findings revealed that on August 22, 2006,
Justice Anwuli Chikere who then was at the Federal
High Court, Abuja presided over the EFCC’s
application on this case and ruled that, “leave is
hereby granted to the Executive Chairman of the
EFCC to … freeze the bank accounts of the persons
referred to as the account holders pending the
conclusion of the investigation of the activities of
the said persons in connection with their
involvement in the acts of money laundering and
other economic and financial crimes related
offences.”
Given that the combined use of both primary and
secondary sources is needed to make a reliable
historical narration, effort was also directed at
newspaper reports of this suit and judgement.
Among many others, in its September 11, 2006
edition, a story under the caption,”EFCC seizes
N104m from Bayelsa Governor’s Wife” featured in
Punch newspaper. The news item was put together
by Sam Akpe and Tobi Soniyi, Abuja.
When cross-examined with our newly found primary
sources, we observed consistency between contents
of the newly discovered primary resources on this
matter and this news reportage. It may be interesting
to produce parts of these documents which highlight
how EFCC arrived at the conclusion that the
laundered money in question involved Jonathan and
Madam Patience.

Matthewbriggs:


I have spoken to a cab drivers from different regions. The west and east mainly, are more open to politically opposing views. The north are harder to convince.

This is not a copy and paste article ... This is 100% original.

I wrote this based on my conviction.

Very true voters safe guard your PVC. A card made possible by a man who wants your vote to count. The PVC makes it more Harder for electoral corruption to take place because its is computerised. This happened under GEJ.

Matthewbriggs:
This thread was inspired by my encounter with a cab driver today. I boarded a cab ... as the journey progressed. The driver started talking about how APC's buhari was the best thing for Nigeria. After spending few minutes with him in that cab discussing politics ... This guy moved from been a buhari supporter to undecided.

All I basically did was share with him my conviction on why I think Good luck deserves a second term.
The first thing any buhari supporter would do when they start engaging you is complain about Jonathan government. Their complains revolves around three key themes. They are a) Corruption b) Insecurity c) and the economy.

In the next couple of days I would be addressing each of these themes on separate threads as I try to share with you my personal conviction.
for today I would Start with Corruption

nku5:


Ok the EFCC counsel declared in court that PEJ ordered someone to launder money. What evidence did the counsel tender to back it up? That should be crux of the matter.
