Nigeria has moved up four places in the ranking of countries on the 2018 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index.

This was contained in a report by the organisation, published on Tuesday.

While Nigeria ranked 148 in 2017, the country moved up four places to 144 in 2018.

Other countries on the same ranking as Nigeria on the 2018 index are Comoros, Guatemala, Kenya and Mauritania.

According to Patricia Moreira, Managing Director of Transparency International, more needs to be done to "strengthen checks and balances and protect citizens' rights".

According to the report, the 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index "reveals that the continued failure of most countries to significantly control corruption is contributing to a crisis of democracy around the world".

“With many democratic institutions under threat across the globe — often by leaders with authoritarian or populist tendencies — we need to do more to strengthen checks and balances and protect citizens’ rights. Corruption chips away at democracy to produce a vicious cycle, where corruption undermines democratic institutions and, in turn, weak institutions are less able to control corruption.” Moreira, said.

What do you mean by hurtful? He died defending his fathers land.

Rest on Gallant soldier!

He died for nothing. His death is a waste, dying for a country that doesn't care about you, a dead country for that matter. What a pity.

otipoju:
I still strongly believe that Nnamdi Kanu was released by the Nigerian Army on the orders of Buhari and flown to Israel and finally London for this very purpose.

To get a sizeable number of Ibos not to vote and thereby reduce the number of votes for PDP in the eastern states.

The narrative that Nnamdi escaped on the night the army invaded his fathers compound is just pure "sobo".

From detention, Nnamdi would of course jump at the offer of freedom because it serves his interest - seccession of Biafra. Buhari too would use Nnamdi to achieve his aim of a second term but if Nnamdi ever sets foot in Nigeria after the election if Buhari wins...they would finish him once and for all.

The timing of his sudden appearance
( Atiku announced Obi as running mate on October 12, Nnamdi resurfaced in Israel on October 19 )and his first message to IPOB to boycott elections gave their action away as a knee jerk reaction to Atikus choice of an Igbo VP.

You are a very shameless liar and ignoramus exposing your lack of knowledge in a very shameless manner.
So when Nnamdi Kanu ordered election boycott in Anambra state, it was because of Peter Obi and Atiku? Do you see you change the narratives, telling lies without conscience. This is why your hope for a better ZOO Nigeria will always be a lost one. You keep praying for a better Nigeria and it keeps getting worse by the day, cursed people

IPOB reveals new date for Biafra referendum
Chijioke Jannah Chijioke Jannah
4 hours ago

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared February 16, 2019 date for a referendum to ascertain number of Nigerians who want a separate Biafra republic through a peaceful and democratic process.


A statement by IPOB spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful, on Monday, said the referendum would run simultaneously with the 2019 presidential election.

It maintained that the relocation of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the United Kingdom from his base in Israel was actually to perfect arrangements for the referendum.


The statement reads: “Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is currently meeting with IPOB high command in Europe to perfect plans for the referendum which will go side by side with the February 16 presidential poll.

“IPOB leader and other top IPOB high command are expected to meet with European Union ( EU) officials to gather more international support for the Biafra proposal.

“Recently Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had been holding “useful talks” with a number of diplomats on a successful referendum bids for Biafra on 16 February 2019, and we can assure you that majority of them have given their assurances and the proposal has received a tremendous support from many key allies who see self determination for Biafra as the best solution to the present Nigeria problem.


“The details and out come of the referendum on Saturday 16th February will determine the position of Biafra people in the coming weeks.

“The test will be side by side with Nigeria presidential election next month to examine how many people boycotted the forthcoming presidential election.

“On the format of the referendum, the planned boycott of the forthcoming presidential election would be a barometer to measure those who want Biafra and those who want to remain in Nigeria.

“The success of the sit-at-home order during the presidential poll in Biafra land will be a confirmation that Biafra is no longer under the bondage of one Nigeria.

“The truth is that by the time Nigeria will wake from the looming political crisis she will only discover that Biafra is already a sovereign nation.

“We are sure for peaceful and rancour free referendum because international observers and media platforms will be on ground to monitor the exercise on that day.

“It is important we remind Nigerians once again that the on-going political developments in the country only confirm that Nigeria cannot work together as one country and Biafra must be a sovereign nation.”

Ahead of NJC meeting tomorrow there are insinuations that acting CJN justice Tanko maybe suspended by the Council for offering himself to be sworn in as acting CJN but I want to submit that it is not going to happen.

The question to ask is whether he offered himself as justice Obisike did in Abia State?

He did not just offer himself, he offered himself based on a valid court order by the CCT which up on till now has not been vacated except it's vacated tonight Justice Tanko is going nowhere.

The NJC being a law abiding body will also take note of that in arriving at a decision tomorrow.

In the case of justice Obisike of Abia State as cited by Olisa Agbakoba, he drove to Govt House at the instance of the Governor to be sworn in just like that...


This is my humble submission... You are free to add yours....

And Tanko boko Mohammed according to your zombified self trekked to Aso Villa to be sworn in...

...so lame

My problem with some Igbo activist is that they always think you owe them something.

Like wherever they are, they always want to dominate the place and it's not possible.

For example, I saw one ignoramus celebrating Buhari's acclaimed campaign flop in Enugu and when Buhari enters again for the second term the same person would be the first to be shouting marginalization...Igbo's are not appointed... President Buhari is a tribalist and all nonsense conclusions, the question is...

What have you contributed?

What did you do to support the system?

I find it hard to believe some people will open their mouth and claim dominance in a place they never sowed.

All you lazy Yorubas and Hausa's that have been spoiled with free education sponsored with Biafrans money and parasites living on resources from Biafrans land but quick to tag the hard-working and successful Biafran as people who always want to dominate others. Who hindered you from dominating the Igbos? The truth is that you cannot compete with God's own people and you cannot help it but express envy, bitterness and resentment against the chosen race. There's nothing you can do about it. If you don't learn to appreciate something good, you will never experience it.

oooduancalmdown:
Story! Tell me how many Yorubas Jonathan appointed in his term.
Yett you fault.heads were supporting him. Most of you even hailed him for marginalizing Yoruba people.

https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan#9019830

Buhari till 2023

Foolishness and stupidity. Jonathan was Ijaw but he didn't appoint only Ijaws. I think the right question should be, "how many Ijaws did Jonathan appoint in his government"?. Juxtapose with what this bigoted fellow has done by filling all important positions with his ethnic group. You accused Jonathan of denying you appointment because he didn't make a Yoruba his vice-president but clapping for Jubril for gross nepotism simply because your tribesman is the vice-president. Sorry for you.

iammo:
Zone the presidency to the north and you have to let them appoint who they trust. No one gave Jonathan any problem when the likes of ihejerika and okonjo were running things

Hypocrisy is a disease. You referred to Jonathan and referred to 2 southerners in his government but leaving out many northerners. INEC was a northerner, Chief of air staff, Chief of defense staff, NSA, Pension fund, Chief Justice, and many more were all headed by northerners.
North will certainly reap what they have been sowing for decades. They won't escape forever

Weak argument.
Because you couldn't counter his claim you resorted to chip shots.
Hmmmm...

Can you help him answer by giving us the constitutional back up to the CCT order. Thanks

First of all, the word removal is not synonymous to suspension, unless there is precedent for this, buhari has not gone contrary to law, it is left for the court to use the mischief rule to adjudicate this matter... The word removal is not defined
.

Secondly, Walter for fear that the NJC would suspend him, adjourned the NJC seating indefinitely... That just reaffirms his guilt.


Thirdly, why are you putting out your neck for someone you are sure is guilty, do you know how many supreme Court cases has suffered due to this struggle, today was suppose to be the hearing of the APC portharcourt case, but nothing... Cause of one man


The fight against corruption in Nigeria is a hard one, I commend Buhari for this, I am a lawyer, part of the judiciary, I do not see this as an attack on the judiciary, but a cleansing, after all, he who comes to equity must come with clean hands...


I won't use Sanusi as a precedent, try to reconcile this with GEJ and Ayo salami

Did you just say that you are a lawyer? I'm ashamed of you if truly you are a lawyer. You must be one of those hausaFulani lawyers that always got southern mercenaries to write exams for them.

sogodihno:
of course u and ur fellow ipob pigs, won't see any achievement, because u have been blinded by hatred, the infrastructures this administration alone has offer is enough.

what I know is if APC can not solve the problem, we are not going back to those that created the problem in the first place.


No vacancy in Aso rock, Nigeria must be save from the gathering of looters and criminal.


APC till PDP get sense.

The same story we are talking about. Which of the infrastructures? Anyway, does it even concern me? No REFERENDUM no elections in Biafra land. QED

bkool7:
There has to be exceptions for criminal matters

A judge can be a serial killer and claimed the police has no constitutional right to arrest nor prosecute him since the NJC has not investigated the matter.

Doesn't that sound absurd?

I don't want to say that you are d**t. Is the cjn a serial killer as you presumed? Even if he is suspected to be, he is still presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Shawnnn01:
I have seen on NL Igbo complaing that over 90% of the oil blocks of the NigerDelta is in the hands of Aboki Fulanis. Most have been very critical of the situation and demanded a reversal.

I have also been thinking very recently since Atiku declared he wi sell the NNPC to his friends even if he’s killed while doing that, and I ask are Atiku’s friends NigerDeltans ? I asked because I am yet to see Atiku fight for the cause of the NigerDelta. Atiku was VP when a NigerDelta community “Odi” was wiped out without saying a thing.

I wonder why Igbos are excited about this policy, is this policy not reminiscent of Aguyi Ironsi truncating confederalism to install unitary system of govt after which oil was discovered only for Ojukwu to wish he could turn back the hands of time with Aburi accord ?!

Are the Igbo not about to spite their face by cutting off their nose ? Who are the police makers for the Igbo nation and why are they only specialist in propagating hate ?! When an Aboki in Fulani Atiku finally sell of NNPC to his corrupt Aboki friends the Igbos will not look back and blaming themselves for the foolishness they willingly orchestrated, it is afonja they will be shouting up and down.

Igbo should think twice before allowing their new found Aboki lord n saviour in the Fulani Atiku sell of the wealth of the NigerDelta on mere stupidity just like Ojukwu wasted 2 million livess in the Biafra war only to discover even that will not suffice. Osinbajo will not be responsible like you held Awolowo responsible for the foolishness of Ojukwu you have been warned.

The audacity with which Atiku declared he will sell the NNPC without upposing uproar in the seats of NigerDelta is mind blowing. A word is enough for the wise, 10 years down the lane I don’t want to hear any sorrowful wailing from the East.

You are an illiterate. Go to school you refuse but prefer to be an Almajiri

How can you stoop so low to start throwing allegations without supporting facts? Tell me the number of Fulani people in the Nigerian military please. Apart from Buhari, tell me any high ranking Fulani military officer, either serving or retired.

Buratai is what? You think you are smart abi? Your minister of Defence is what? Continue deceiving yourself.

Dove1998:
Though the truth is bitter, we have formed the habits of blaming people most especially our leaders for the various problems in this country...

But come to think of it , what difference will you make if you were to be in their position.
Yes it is true that Nigeria has deteriorated over the years, due to what we understood to be improper management of the country's resources, but it shouldn't be a burden of one man, our leader shouldn't be most often targeted in allocating blames and insults in our failures.

Whether you like or not , this country has failed, we are down, and this wasn't caused by buhari or osibanjo , its our collective faults,..
We have formed this habit of blaming one another if things goes wrong instead looking for away out,..

For those who watch the beautiful game of football you see what players do when their teammate makes mistake that leads to goal, they don't gather to blame him on the pitch, rather they will encourage one another to move on towards achieving their aim as a team....

Any society that always push collective failure to one person has no aim to progress,..
OK, you blame our leader for incompetence, what about you that elects him to be your leader , don't you think you have yourself to blame also ,...

Its time we drop this weapon of disunity and bring forths constructive ideas that will move this country to a greater height.........


One love,......

But you blamed Jonathan and called him the architect of Nigeria's woes. Yes or no. God is watching o.

chichar1:
this word called unity is lacking in IBO Land, that's why they are marginalized and taken for granted in all things in Nigeria

This is the deception you people have been fed with and you are also dishing it out for the foolish ones to accept as the truth. It is on record that the only tribe that truly assist themselves individually and collectively are the Igbos. They are the only people that don't wait for the government for electric pole,but will rather raise the money as a community project. They are the only people that organise village and town meetings wherever they reside. They are the only people that can contribute money to the contribute money to convey the corpse of a fellow Igbo home even when the family cannot afford to do it alone. They are the only people that operate apprenticeship as a corporate social responsibility or as and an empowerment schheme. For the Hausas, it almajiri scheme, for the Yorubas it is the corrupt version or inverted apprenticeship freedom whereby the servant is the one settling the master instead of the other way round. Think well oga. In conclusion, the only people that have true unity and love are the Igbos.

Mynd44:
Rice was 8,000 at what price? No job was created for local farmers and you were using FOREX you didnt have to make countries like Thailand richer.

With more rice farmers growing the product and more mills, the price can only come down but the money stays in Nigeria and create Nigerian jobs.

Reno and his silly nuggets

Your level of ignorance is unlimited. A simple Google search would help you on the food import bills before Jonathan took over and as at when he handed over. Also the commissioning of the biggest rice mill in Africa located, Adamawa, by name Olams rice mills. And to think that you are a mod disgracing yourself like this is a big shame.

GoroTango:
You see even the American ambassador knows the right way to go about the problem. Cattle colonies established by government is the only way out of the farmer-pastoralist conflict raging over the middle belt. Thank God as we speak right now, these facilities are being built across the states of the north to tackle this issue.

Goro tango or whatever you call yourself, the man said ranches, not cattle colony. Perhaps you dont know the difference between the two, or you just want to die on getting colonies to colonise. Well it will not work not work, NEVER. As per ranches, they MUST buy the land they would use, confine their herd of cattle and buy feed or grass for them, that is the stark reality. They better brace up, the earlier the better for them. In the south, we have already started ranching and soon, very soon, we will become self-sufficient in beef.

4Ebisco:
Commissioner of Police in Abia State, Anthony Ogbizi, has said that sureties of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) should tell the world where he is.

Last month, an Abuja Federal High Court ordered Kanu’s counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor to produce his client.

Justice Binta Nyako ordered Ejiofor to produce the elusive IPOB leader during the next adjournment date of March 28, or for his sureties to explain his whereabouts.

Kanu was admitted to bail on April 25, 2017 and the Chairman, South East Senate caucus, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe, a Jewish High Chief Priest, Immanuu-El Shalom and a Chartered Accountant, Tochukwu Uchendu signed his bail bond.

In a chat with the Punch, CP Ogbizi said the Police is not keeping the Biafra agitator.

His words: “Nnamdi Kanu was charged to court; he still has a case in court. He was granted bail by the court, but we heard that he jumped bail.

“The sureties, who secured the bail conditions for Nnamdi Kanu, should tell us his whereabouts.

On his parents whereabouts, the senior officer said: “They have the right to live anywhere they want. Nobody stopped them from going back to their house, but if they decide to live elsewhere, it is their choice.

“None of them is in the custody of the police; so, we are not in a position to say where they are.”

Ogbizi also confirmed that IPOB members were caught with arms.

“We recovered weapons like petrol bomb, rifles and other weapons.

“We also recovered their insignias; we got a lot of information concerning the military wing of IPOB that they were training and teaching their members military tactics.”

http://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2018/03/kanu-not-in-our-custody-his-sureties.html

Your stupidity is legendary. I don't blame you though, I blame quota system. So, you know he is on bail and you still didn't allow him to enjoy his bail. You know he is on bail and still invaded his house to kill him. Did the sureties send you to attack him, that you said they should tell the world his whereabout?
You would rather be the one to tell the world what actually transpired because it will soon dawn on you that the world is truly a global village.
Keep your petrol bomb very well for your evidence because the world will soon beckon on you as a witness.

With this statement Atiku has disqualified himself from the polls and won't be having my vote....We don't want a leader who can't address a problem for what it is but would rather try to play on words.... every Fulani attack is carried out with the explicit approval of Miyetti Allah which always follows any agenda that the majority of Fulanis want ....Fulanis have used terror and vengeance as the pivot for their expansion for years and they all support it so for Atiku who I thought should know better to now start using clever words to shield a collection of criminals shows he doesn't have the fairness and equity required to be a leader of a secular state like Nigeria ...Nigeria cannot afford another ethini Jingoist in power

An unidentified young man was killed by a passenger train at Ikeja, Lagos. The man was standing on the rail track oblivious of the fast approaching train. The Ogun-Lagos-bound mass transit train just left Agege Train Station when the accident occurred.

According to AgegeTv, the train had sounded its horn repeatedly as it was approaching for clearance of its track, according to an eyewitness, the man was apparently carried away while walking on the track before the accident happened.

“Obviously the man was not aware of the approaching train even as it blasted its horn. “Before he knew it, he was already hit by the train and was not given any chance to escape. “Immediately he was hit, the body was mangled as the train dragged it underneath,’’ the eyewitness said.

People standing by the rail track that saw the incident tried reaching out to the emergency management team.

And yet instead of driving them away furiously, you begin to shoot and murder them extra judicially for just mentioning that they want out. Accept the truth that you are afraid of losing your live wire, the ingenious Igbos. Eat the humble pie so that you will receive mercy. My two cents
