These days, I hear people say that president
Jonathan has done “nothing” to fight
corruption in Nigeria.
When I hear this, 2 things come to my mind.
It’s either…
They don’t know the truth or…
They are lying
For Nigeria to “beat” 8 countries to become
the 136th most transparent country in the
world is not accident. It happened for a
reason.
Below are 7 things the Nigerian President did
to reduce corruption…

1. 40 Years Of Corruption In The Agricultural
Sector Ended Within 90 Days
Before President Jonathan (and his team)
came on board, this was how fertilizers and
seeds were distributed to government (and
farmers)…
- Fertilizer and seed suppliers will collect
money from the government
- Some bagged and supplied sands; others
supplied under sized bags. Seed suppliers
bought grains from the market and supply as
seedlings.
As a result, their supplies were useless. They
collected government money and supplied
fake products.
To make matters worse, distribution was
another problem.
If the government gives distributors fertilizers
and seeds to share to farmers for free, they’ll
sell it.
So how did President Jonathan solve the
problem?

Common phone. Yes! COMMON PHONE.
The federal government distributed e-wallet
installed phones to farmers.
And how did these phones do the magic?
Simple! Instead of getting supplies from the
suppliers, the federal government pays the
money directly into the farmers’ phone. The
farmers buy the fertilizers themselves – after
all, they know the original and fake fertilizers
better – It’s their line of business.
The Result?
N50 billion Naira has been blocked from
fertilizer money thieves.
Also, local farmers started producing in full
capacity. As a result, Nigeria has saved more
than N700 billion on food import.

2. President Jonathan Organized The Freest,
Fairest And Most Peaceful And Credible
Elections EVER
“Electoral corruption is the mother of all
corruptions”
– President GoodLuck Jonathan
When President Jonathan was sworn in as the
acting president in 2010, he vowed to fight
electoral corruption to a stand-still.
How did he go about it?
- He enacted electoral laws and guidelines
that were beyond manipulation
- He created an electoral system that is
manned by qualified, competent and efficient
personnel
- He conducted free, fair and credible
elections

The Result?
Governorship elections were acclaimed by
both local and international observers and
free, fair and credible in…
- Edo state
- Ondo state
- Anambra state
- Ekiti state
- Osun state
In these 5 elections, only 1 was won by the
president’s party (A.k.a the ruling party), the
PDP. The major opposition the APC won in 2
states and 2 other parties APGA and LP won
the other 2.
As a result, the confidence of most Nigerians
in the electoral process has increased
dramatically.

No wonder more Nigerians are now interested
in getting the permanent voters card.

3. 60,000 “GHOST” Workers Exposed
Between 2007 – 2010, the federal
government built a new system for paying
salaries, the IPPIS system.
In 2012, President Jonathan (and his team)
took it a step further. They used it to expose
“ghost” workers.

By October 2014, they’ve discovered over
60,000.

For years, these fake workers has been
collectively carting away N160 billion every
year.

Impressively, the case has been transferred
to ICPC for further investigation and
prosecution.

4. N1.4 Trillion Worth Of Public Sector Theft
Blocked Through Import-Waiver Reforms
What’s import waiver? Simple!
It’s the tax (A.k.a import duty) that the
government removes on economic boosting
goods – goods that boost the economy. Eg.
Raw materials, machinery and spare parts.
Before Jonathan (and his team) came in,
corrupt public officers heavily abused this
system. They gave and received waivers on
unapproved goods. Between 2011 – 2013,
over N1.4 Trillion was lost.
As a result, the importers whom the waiver
was meant for hardly got it.
With the Jonathan reform in the sector,
loopholes have been blocked.

Reformed Import Waiver System

5. Stealing Money Through Government
Contract Is Now Harder Than Ever
In 2007, the federal government made a law
that made it difficult for government
contractors to steal money. It is called the
public procurement act.
As a result, they’ve (between 2009 – 2013)
blocked N558 billion from getting to contract
thieves.
They even went as far as fishing out 180
contract stealing companies. The case has
been forwarded to the anti-corruption
agencies.

To Replicate Procurement Laws

6. Ongoing Sanitization Of The Oil And Gas
Sector Already Yielding Results
When President Jonathan came on board, he
primarily focused on fighting corruption in 3
key areas…
- Electoral corruption
- Fertilizer distribution corruption
- Corruption in the oil and gas
So far, war on “electoral corruption” and
“fertilizer distribution corruption” has recorded
tremendous success.
But the oil and gas has been the hardest.
Nevertheless, this is what he has achieved so
far…
He exposed the biggest scam ever in
Nigeria’s history.
In 2011, he told us (Nigerians) that there
was huge corruption going on in the fuel
subsidy sub-sector. So, he took the subsidy
money and put it in places where it will yield
more dividend.
Well, nobody understood him. So in January
2012, we all went on strike.
To prove his point, a probe panel was set up.
What did they discover? USD6.8 Billion
(N108.8 Billion) has been stolen in just 3
years.
Let’s put things in perspective. What really is
subsidy?
If a cup (Aka. De Rica) of garri is N300 and
I pay N100 for you, then I’ve subsidized the
garri – that’s garri subsidy.

What is subsidy scam?
If the garri seller sells 1 cup of garri to you
and then lie to me that he sold 10 cups,
that’s subsidy scam.
The Result?
The subsidy money was used to create the
sure-p programme. Below are the
achievements so far…
- Used to support road construction.
As a result, 17,000km out of the 23,000 km
of bad federal road completed. It’s just
remaining 7,000 km and the entire federal
road in Nigeria will become good.
- Support for maternal health
600 health centers (mostly in rural
communities) already built – and equipped.
700 still under construction.
Consequentially, maternal death has been
reduced by 60%. Half a million women now
give birth under the care of trained midwives.
- Increased water access - Over 620
boreholes built nationwide.
- Supported the fight against unemployment
Sure-p has been helping in the struggle to
get jobs for the 22 million unemployed
Nigerian youths…
It’s been working with (and paying) 2,000
youths across the country.
3,000 graduates has gotten jobs under the
“graduate internship scheme (GIS)”
5,075 youths undergoing vocational training.
Furthermore…
He created and sponsored the most
controversial bill in Nigeria’s history, the
“Petroleum Industrial Bill (BIB)”
In 2008, the federal government created and
sent the petroleum industrial bill (PIB) to the
national assembly.
It is a bill that will block all the corruption
loopholes – and solve every other problem –
in the petroleum industry.
What happened to it? It was vehemently
rejected. On 18th July 2012, President
Jonathan resent the bill.
But up till now, legislation on the bill has not
gone half way.

In May 2015(barely 4 months from now), this
current national assembly will be dissolved. A
new one will be set up and everybody will go
back to square one.
Hmm… You never knew corruption could fight
back? Now you do.
As if that is not enough…
He has commissioned – and never stood on
the way of any – probe in almost every sector
of the industry…
- Aig- Imoukhuede Presidential committee on
verification and reconciliation of subsidy
claims and payments
- Petroleum Revenue Special Task Force
Committee
- The Dotun Suleiman committee
- The Kalu Idika Kalu committee
- The 20 Billion Naira Scam probe
- Etcetera…

7. EFCC Has Prosecuted 427 Cases In 3
Years
The Jonathan led federal government
strengthened the EFCC and allowed them do
their job. As a result, 427 cases were
prosecuted between 2012 – 2014.
The Result?
Fraud in Nigeria reduced from N495 billion to
N300 billion. Hence, EFCC saved the country
N195 billion.
Sadly, most of the successfully concluded
cases are…
- Advanced fee frauds
- Internet frauds
- Commercial cases
Cases involving top government officials have
dragged on for years.
The EFCC has blamed this on the Judiciary.
These officers (and politicians) frustrate the
process. They manipulate the judiciary with
the wealth and influence they’ve acquired.
Unfortunately, the federal government (A.k.a
the executive) has very limited power over
the judiciary (the 3rd arm of government).
Despite that, President Jonathan has
continued to use “advocacy” to push for the
sanitization of the judiciary.
When he finally succeeds, then every
Nigerian – including the very high and mighty
– will become truly subject to the law,
irrespective of who is president.

This Year

In Conclusion
President Jonathan’s approach to fighting
corruption looks radically different.
He has focused on strengthening institutions
and blocking loopholes in the system. Where
possible, he used technology.
Funny enough, this is how Denmark, New
Zealand and Finland (the 3 most transparent
countries in the world) rooted out corruption
from their country.

kaî!!ona go ever tire? do your research! you don't even know what's happening in the country, I'm sure you woke up when it was announced that Your buha got no certi.

@OP,

It is called Abracadabra.

Overtly during the day when the sun shines, your citation may be adjudged correct.

Covertly at night when the moon comes, the amount stolen is in multiples of your citation thus eroding any gain from the purported fight against corruption.

It is called the more you look, the less you see. It is the ideology of the present government.

Finally, they have strategists in their fold with the sole aim of identifying half baked projects with nominal impact. These strategists will brandish these uncoordinated projects before Nigerians because they believe that majority are gullible and cerebrally illiterate and incapacitated even when they have certificates obtained through formal education. They are wrong because the illusion laden act of the fedora hat wearing magician is gradually being unraveled through waves across the country. The blind, the dumb and the deaf can see, express and hear the folly.

Sincerely, anyone with common sense (no pun intended) will know this is the most corrupt government ever liveth!

Fighting corruption with every thief we know roaming the street. EFCC is like a hospitality room people being payed wages to do nothing. If he was serious we will not be after Buhari.
