LEST WE FORGET

These are some of those clamouring for 'change':

2) Six brand new vehicles replaceable every 3 yrs
3) Salary for life
4) 300percent of that salary as furniture allowance every two years
5) Full medicals for him and his family
6) Security detail

NB: This ex-gov too is a serving Senator who recieves outrageous salaries and allowances.

Every one who has some grey matter, no matter the quality, should ask:

WHAT TYPE OF CHANGE ARE YOU BRINGING WHEN YOU HAVE CORNERED THE FINANCES OF YOUR PEOPLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL COMFORT?

What else is corruption?

PassingShot:
Why are you still campaigning? Wake up, elections are over and Buhari is the next president.

If GMB was a complete failure as HOS 30 years ago, Nigerians wouldn't have voted for him.

wiseoneking:
There is nothing like half white. Is either you are white or not. As she is, she must have suffered racism as the darkest african living. To a white person, there is no difference. In the US even if you are as white as clinton but have a black parentage of any sorts, you will be regarded as a pure black. Google one drop rule and you will understand better. They all have nigerian fathers and suffers racism even though they may not have any trace of been black. It will shock many first timers in the US schools to see pure white kids that are classified as black even though there are no obvious differences with white kids.

Bowaley17:
derailing... I intentionally typed it

PassingShot:
Most Nigerians do not mind the age of the leader so far we get the performance we expect, after all many younger leaders including our PhD president have proved beyond reasonable doubt that being young does not guarantee performance.

Let these "old leaders" train some sincere, principled and disciplined younger ones, perhaps the youths will prove they're ready after eight years.

Bowaley17:
Good for them. God bless America. God Bless Nigeria.

sukkot:
i am sure he was ignorant of abachas looting hence his statement. buharis pedigree follows him around from when he joined the military till today. everyone will tell you he hates corruption. thats his pedigree. so abacha knowing this probably hid it very well away from him. why you think patience and jonathan are quaking in their boots now ? because they know buhari has cleared a jail cell in kirikiri for them. dubai has volunteered to return all stolen funds. kleptomanic frog eye madueke quickly refunded the 1 billion dollars that was conveniently sitting in her basement to buhari. why is everyone scrambling to return all stolen loot ? because the whole world know buharis pedigree which is his hatred of corruption

Nigeria recovers Abacha loot
2003-11-27 15:00

Lagos - Nigeria has recovered $149m in funds looted by late military dictator Sani Abacha and stashed in the British Channel Islands, Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said.

Okonjo-Iweala told reporters late on Wednesday after a cabinet meeting in the Nigerian capital Abuja that the money was received last week after negotiations between President Olusegun Obasanjo and the authorities in Jersey, a British island off the coast of France.

Okonjo-Iweala was in Switzerland last week to negotiate the release of $618m banked there by Abacha, who ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his sudden death in 1998.

"The $149m is additional and that is why I want to say this is a very good effort that the president had made," she said.

Imagine Africans vying and winning elections in the UK without the queen threatening them with lagoon and the British calling them strangers?

He therefore thanked the outgoing Governor Fashola for keeping his side of the truce treaty he brokered, an action he reckoned was largely responsible for the party’s victory in the just concluded elections.

Where are all these so called trains

demantruth2:
They are 1960's refurbished Chinese locomotive.

Did Okupe not tell you Gej can't afford to buy new coaches?

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

That's the only thing that happened in Nigeria

The Daura General you mean? His record I remember is bringing sanity to the system when others corrupt the system with impunity and lawlessness

soe:
In saner climes, by now, Jonathan would be laying low, writing his handover notes and asking for forgiveness.

But not in Nigeria.

Smh

socialmediaman:
Okay we see am. One of Yaradua's initiative completed by GEJ. This contract was awarded in 2008 by Yaradua. GMB will complete these projects and build much more with transparency and confidence from the people. Hope billions haven't gone missing though.. Just a hunch

ratiken:
Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is a great and good man. Posterity will judge him positively and he will be sorely missed after 2019.

This is exactly how politics is played.
Assuming tables turn and APC happens to be the govt at the centre..... could this gesture ever be reciprocated?

Your guess is as good as mine. Their antecedents have been purely negative and evil politics.
