remzytimer: Dora is the best ever..................

Demdem: infact i prefer prof Dora to this shameless liar (MAKU) of a being.

taharqa: Just look at dis LIAR again. Who said he 'initiatd' it? Did you read d comment you just thought u responded to?... You said on dis very thread dat GEJ didnt do much in getting d bill passd and signd cos according to you: 'any dunce can sign d bill afta passage cos of National interest' (an extension of yr 'famous' negative OBSESSION with GEJ). My comment was to show dat nt only d last 2 democratic presidents (OBJ and Yar'adua) not only blatantly refusd/promisd not to sign d bill but actuali meticulously workd against it; furdamore, dat ALL oda past Nigerian leadas, both democratic and military (and dier lieutenants) since colonial era made it a point of duty to KEEP govt business and records SECRET, till GEJ agreed/promisd to d passage and signing of d bill. A promise he kept... There wud nt be an FOI bill today if GEJ had workd against d bill and/or he simply refusd to sign it like odas did, PERIOD. GEJ and those membas of d Civil society dat had bn pushing d bill since 1999 as well as sm membas of d NA, made it happen. SIMPLE.

Demdem: O yes, the retardeen signed it like he has promised but he never initiated it neither did he mandate maku to make sure the bill was passed in the NASS like some goats seems to be saying here.

Mandelaguy: You have gradually reduced yourself to an object of ridicule. Gallivanting from one post to the other in defence of unbridled ignorance.
All these your s.tupidity is just in order to strip Maku of credit due to him for facilitating the passage of FOI which was frustrated for years. It won't fly. Try another trick.

Mandelaguy: Resident I.mbecile. You said expensive. What makes the tour expensive? And you came up with the lame and laughable argument that it ought to be expensive because it's a govt project.
This is the most I.mbecilic attack I hve seen on NL. You see why I told you that your I.mbecility is grossly underestimated.

You have no record whatsoever on the cost of the tour.. You have no idea of how it is funded. You just jumped into the conclusion that it is expensive because you must do the job for which you are paid for- Blackmail.

Please learn to be more tactful in pursuing this dirty assingment by your paymasters so that it can have a semblance of truth.
If you had common sense, you would have intelligently conjured up a figure to make it more believable. OLODO!

We are not gullible in this forum. You can't just label a project expensive without any cost or figure attached to it?

taharqa: Am nt interestd in dis topic, but abeg stop spitting LIES as it relates to d FOI bill. 'GEJ had nothing to do wit it'; 'it was neva an executive bill'. What d helll are u talking about? Do u know d history of dat bill?.... The bill was d 1st bill or so introducd to d NA by civil society groups in 1999, and Obj allowd it to stall there as much as possible; and when he saw dat d bill may pass, he unitarally withdrew d bill from d NA in an extremely unconstitutional move and unda d guise of 'National Security' removd certain parts of d bill and sent whateva was left back to d NA. This eventuali destroyd any chance of d passage of d bill b4 d end of 2003. Afta 2003 in Obj 2nd term, d bill startd its checkerd journey again 4rm d start , and even in d face luckwarm rxtn or even subtle hostility from d Executive d bill eventuali passd b4 2007 largely in d initial form Obj wantd, yet he refusd to sign d bill saying dat he didnt like d Title of d bill! (of course it was actuali cos neither himself nor most of d ruling elites wantd to pass a bill dat wud throw open d activities and 'secrets' of govt to d open). Afta 2007, enter Yar'adua: d bill was 'reintroducd' and d process startd again. This time Yar'adua made it clear tru two of his top aids in his inner circle dat he was nt going to sign d bill cos it was 'dangerous' and injurious to 'National Security and stability' (i recall with horror hearing Yar'adua NA adviser, Sen Abba, saying these on TV during those days). Expentedly, d bill didnt even pass d NA till Yar'adua's death. Howeva, when Jonathan enterd he quickly promisd dat he will sign d bill when it passd, a promise he fulfilld. Thats why we hv presently d most important bill dat OPENED govt records and processes to d public for d 1st time in d nations history; a bill dat overrode d Official Secret act (and other such degrees/acts) which d colonial masters institutd when they were exploiting us, and which all subsequently Nigerian ruling elite hv jealously guarded and even expanded, UNTIL NOW....

Mandelaguy: You are such a retard. Now I know why you spend most of ur retarded life spinning falsehood on Nairaland.
What is the figure for the tour? You don't even know and you call it expensive. Pls grow up.
The days of false blackmail and baseless criticisms are over. Talk with facts. Nigerians are not as gullible as you reckon them to be.

Zutchy: ]Young man if you want to talk l believe you should talk for yourself alone,so you say the good governance tour is a waste of public funds!!!!are you kidding me or what ,anybody that calls this tour a waste is a vey ignorant human beign and has not been following the tour at all,first of all I believe that the presidency is supposed to have an agency whose sole duty would be the verification and supervision of all ongoing projects!somthe Ministry of Inrmaion in ollaoration with this department decide to undertake the supervision of these projects and report tit firsthand to Nigerians and you say it is wasteful!already as a result of this tour two contractors have lost their jobs already this proves that the tour and the Minister are not toothless bulldogs they can bark and as well bite.

pheesayor: If the government is working, the masses will be the ones to acknowledge

Mandelaguy: Olodo! This is how you fail exams. Simple questions you cannot offer logical answers. Your ignorance on this forum is grossly underestimated.
Under whoose administration was FOI passed and signed into law?
Since Maku did not facilitate the passage and signing by Mr president, why was the same bill thrown out twice before Maku came in?
You cannot be deceiving people here on Nairaland all the time because of the peanuts that Tinubu and co hand in to you.
Stop beefing. Face reality.

The reality is that so many strides have been recorded in ministry of information under Labaran Maku much to your disdain.
You shamelessly dodged to talk about the Ministerial Platform or the good governance tour. I want you to deny it. Paid F.ool.

So basically, the retardeen instructed maku to sit tight at NASS until the FOI was passed right? if not, can u kindly expatiate on specific steps taken by this admin to make sure the NASS passes it except to sign the bill which the least dumb person will eventually do because of national interest and pressure that was exerted on it by then.

the FOI faced serious difficulties in the NASS (which isnt out of place) and if not for Abike and her supporters that were steadfast and courageous and determined to see it to the end, there would have been no bill for the retardeen to sign. get that to ur empty skull. maku simply dont have the brain to bring out such an initiative. ok, can u give any example of any bill Maku (the executives) has ever sent to the NASS that will improve info dissemination in the country? (i dont know of any). that speaks volume. i have addressed the waste u termed good governance tour. are u also blind to see that

Gorilla unit: don't misquote people cause you need to state a point.

Mandelaguy: What has sycophancy got to do with the fact that Maku facilitated the passage of FOI ACT? Is it true or not? Simple!

LIAR, before maku came to govt, the FOI has been in existence in the NASS. Abike Dabiri and her supporters should be given kudos. FOI initiative was never an executive initiative

Is there anything like Ministerial platform initiated by Maku? Is it true or false?

Fool, and what is so special about that? havent ministers before now been disseminating info to the public as they deem fit before now? So because Maku creates a new platform for that, we should shout halleluyah right

Is there anything like National Good Governance tour embarked upon by Maku?

I see this as a waste of time and funds. Nigerians arent blind neither are we dumb. Nigerians are highly aprreciative if one does good to them no matter how small even if they have been cheated. Nigerians dont need an expensive good governance tour to know that their govt is working and impacting on their lives.

Mandelaguy: Go and come. I'm waiting for you. I.mbecilic boot licker!

Mandelaguy: what's with you and sucking of dickks all the time? You must be a sworn pervert. Prove the Op wrong and stop confusing issues or better still continue your exit strategy.

Series22: So Bode george still won dat award? SMH violently 4 Nigerian youths

ITbomb: GEJ , cos he is from Niger Delta

Demdem:
The onus is on the initiator of the war to apologise to his people for embarking on a bloody event that was destined to fail from the beginning.

afam4eva: Obasanjo is the most hated Yoruba man by Yorubas and Aregbesola is speaking for himself. I hope he doesn't get some lashing from his party for going against one of the core belief of the party.

how do u know? which indices did u consider? How many yoruba man have u interviewed for u to come to this conclusion. if u can say this confidently then its fair to say many from the eastern part of Nigeria (some, Ojukwu followers) dont like the north.
i stated this earlier and u were asking for evidence

Sealeddeal: .....the war didnt start at Ore.It started at Nsukka when the FG began invasion of Nsukka.
