Joeadamu86: I have never seen a pessimists like Demdem......why can't you look at the bright side of life?

Murphy T: yes the same TI claimed corruption was worse in 2011 than 2010 when retardeen became president, and this was released in dec 2011..and the govt took dis into cognizance and decided that this will never be anymore, so they started making efforts to mininimize dis ugly trend...months later,

however, the same TI complained bitterly to the Nigerian govt by MAY 2012 that things are really getting bad

that same TI noticed and said, Hey! dis guys (Nig' govt) are really making efforts to eradicate corruption, and the looked critically at the seriousness of the govt to fight corruption, and saw that Nig govt's effort was second to that of US in dat line, isnt it a plus for the country? isnt it? wot exactly did OBJ and ribadu do in dat regard, it was stl here on NL dat both of them were highly condemned and blamed for the present state of the country.letz not allow hatred for an individual becloud our thinking faculty...

u are getting it wrong, the kudos from TI was for the past decade. From 2001 (i think) to 2011. the corruption fight for the bulk of those years were fought by OBJ/Ribadu. Yaradua/waziri basically did nothing. That explains why kudos must be given to OBJ/Ribadu. The same TI also went further to state that things went further down the drain between 2010 and 2011 and even complained bitterly by may 2012. all these period till date, the retardeen is in power


meanwhile i neva called u dumb(i didnt say u r dumb, did i?)

ok, probably not

eGuerrilla: This is as forthright as it gets - an open letter

what else can i say?

Camilia247: But at least efforts are bein made, letz wait for the outcome, d process is ongoing

Joeadamu86: But the system has not changed since,this govt may have flaws,but encouraging it can go a long way,we should as Nigerians continue to proffer solutions towards the growth of our dear country,Nigeria belongs to us all we must cherish it.

Murphy T: are we not saying the same thing, no doubt there is corruption in Nig, which is not particular to Nig alone, we are not happy abt dat fact, but the bone of contention here is dat, efforts are being made to minimize or eradicate dis corruption frm the system, and the government of the day is making such effort which has been noticed by transparency intl..dnt u get? i dnt no u to b dis dumb. i saw the threads earlier, most Nigerians dnt read and dis makes them gullible to mind twister like u and d rest, for me wot ever i com across, i read more abt it, and help inform others. if that thread was true, i wud hav led the team to blast the president, but it wasnt.

No we arent saying the same thing. All govt will claim to fight corruption but events on the ground coupled with index like the one of TI will suggest if they are sincere or not.
In the past decade when GEj was plundering bayelsa, TI claims the Nigerian govt has improved as regards fighting corruption however the same TI claims through her index that corruption was worse in 2011 than in 2010. These years, GEJ was in charge. 2012 index is yet to come out.
if e are to go by this, its obvious to all non-bias minds that this Govt seems to be undoing what OBJ/Ribadu laid as foundation.

U called me dumb but i will let it pass this time. My normal self will return fire for fire

Joeadamu86: At leat TI recognises govt efforts in the fight,corruption is a global phenomenon and to be fair to this govt corruption has been there since time immemorial it's not a battle that can be won in a day.I think the govt is committed lets give it to them.

Joeadamu86: However u see it Mr Demdem something positive is happening,even the effort shown is a big plause,at least we are going somewhere....

Murphy T: [b]how was the issue thrashed? tell me...is it by misinforming Nigerians? the poster of that thread, i'm sorry to say, lacks proper understanding of english language, and i recommend macmillian reader for him...the President never said that Nigeria is ranked 2nd in the table, he said countries who hav shown EFFORT in fighting corruption, Nigeria is 2nd to the USA in dat order,i qoute him "In its latest report, Transparency International (TI) noted that Nigeria is the second most improved country in the effort to curb corruption", afterall transparency intl hasnt release any ranking for the yr 2012, so he wudnt hav said dat...mehn! u guys need to be factual at all time, dnt go all out to bring someone down with lies, it doesnt pay, anyway i trust karma(push and pull). see good in pples effort.

ACM10: If Abacha is still the president; Edwin Clark, Asari Dokubo, Tom Ateke, Government Tompolo will be rotting in grave.

Ayorh4you: 'an debtor'? Chai! English don suffer o. Naija grammarians, i hail thee

Will u Shut it . Go grammar thread if u are looking for good grammar. More important issues are being discussed here.

atise: “2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; and James Ibori was acquitted here and jailed in the UK.

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; and the Halliburton probe is dead in the water as at now, with no one convicted.

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; with the Elumelu power probe scandal swept under the carpet and never heard of hence.

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; with former Gov Peter Odili strutting the national landscape, with a ‘perpetual’ court injunction preventing anyone from prosecuting him for his past crimes. Aah, and lest I forget his wife is being made a Supreme court Judge and CFR recipient.

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; and the Subsidy probe fraud/scandal and Otedola/Lawan-gate issue is slowly being pushed into national forgetfulness.

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; and your good friends Alamiyiesiegha, Lucky Igbinedion and Joshua Dariye cannot dare set their feet on UK soil for fear of REAL prosecution

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; and former Govs Nnamani, Turaki, Senator Andy Uba et al (all with corruption charges against them) are still sitted in the hallowed chambers of the senate making laws for the rest of us.

“2nd only to USA in fighting corruption”; Indeed!
Happy independence to a pathetic Nation.....

lorddannie: Is all this about GEJ's statement that you read from saharareporters or something else. Something is definitely wrong with this guide. open display of hatred, while claiming to be a critic. Please read your post and try to be objective, not raining abuse. Painfully, many "like" this

lorddannie: you can start the process of de-robbing him. This your hate, under the guise of criticism is leading you somewhere. There is a clear cut difference between criticism and abuse. Do you think you have the moral standing to call for caution.

is like the jerry curl hair pastor is ur sheperd Anyway, mine is to make a "patriotic" call, the onus is who those who place the robe on him to either abide by it or not. Thats not my responsibility and am not claiming such. till date the so called man of God is yet to condemn the criminal act melted on children that are alleged to be witches and wizards in in Akwa ibom. If my "patriotic call" is termed hate by you, no yawa. Afterall, u are dumb.

lorddannie: You called others sycophants, who are you? Misguided fellow and a traitor seeking for cheap popularity on nairaland. Take a self review of your posts and you would see how have been raining abuses, invectives and hate; trying to impress people by spreading hate. You can do well by criticising and not abuse

jmaine: It's foolishness thinking your rants here amounts to something . . . . .More ediotic when your rants were baseless . . . .

Demdem: Who gives a ffuck about the opinion of a confirmed sycophant. Abegi tackle retardeen foolish words which is the basis of this thread.

informatix: i am 28 mockery of President is Unacceptable. They were suppose
keep quite if they disagree with him.
I pray for someone from NL. Oneday
to become president.

manmade: 160million Dislikes

jmaine: You are very silly, thinking your doing a whole lot of good screaming on nairaland . . . . . .

What a waste of time . . . . Fools having a misplaced sense of importance . . . .

opoke: ONE HAS TO BE CAREFUL IN READING NEWS FROM SAHARA REPORTERS COS MOST OF THEIR POSTERS SEEMS TO BH MEMBERS

butpro: why wasting yur time on sponsored thread? @demdem are one of those who re here to criticise, take it or leave it, Jonathan is the president of this country. Ask him why he doesn't want to hear the name" goodluck". Let them be ranting on NL.I know the presidency wud surprise them (critics).

fortyfeet: Tell youeself equally your own truth "that you don't have respect for elders and or constituted authority". Do you know that mocking GEJ is exactly as mocking Nigeria. We should be proud we got one (country). Some are refugees in their own (yrtnuoc).

dayokanu: ^^ Sir,

why would you chuckle yourself? Is it because you also think Retardeen Jonathan is a joke?

You are bad oo. You praise him here, In real life you laugh at him

solomon111: And that would warrant you calling the president a retardeen?
That would warrant your looking for his faults in every thread,even when there is none.
Well you do not owe me any explanation.
Just remember this period in your life,when you are being called a retardeen by your subjects,when you are ridiculed and despised by those you think you serve,and when no matter how hard you try,your best is being ridiculed, your competency is judged by how much 'swag' you can exude,and the failure of past heads,is placed squarely on your shoulders.
Again,what goes around,surely comes around.
