I seriously doubt it. He's frequenting the hospitals in London is really a cause for worry.

Ao many times had he visited d hospital?If u can tell mi,u r a goat.

Everyone is talking about Dieziani Allison-Maduekwe in the Buhari's London trip and have seem to lose focus on Buhari himself and his purpose for that emergency trip. We should still remember his previous trip to London during the electioneering campaign where it was alleged that Buhari went there to seek Medical attention. His wife even confirmed that Buhari went to London to "rest" in the middle of the campaigns.

Now this is repeating itself. Nigerians should be bothered about this. How often should Buhari be jetting off on emergency basis to London for personal reasons? We need to be concerned because he will be the president of this great country for four years.

Barcanista, I need your input on this. Also the floor is open for Nairalanders to comment.

Hmmmmmm.Does d op av brain or av it n decided to use his anu to think?Some pple r daft that daftness sef go feel embarrassed.

According to Transparency In­ternational’s data from 1979 till date, the tenures of both General Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo were more corrupt than the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The data also showed that under the administration of President Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded its best score in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) since 1979. This is in complete contrast to the sordid picture of rampant corruption being painted by the opposition, ardent critics of the Jonathan administration and much of the media in the last few years – especially in the build up to the general elections.

But the point that the figures from Transparency International make so clearly is that, in com­parative terms, Nigeria is actually much less corrupt today, and per­ceived globally to be much less corrupt today, than it has been in the last 35 years – including under the regimes of General Buhari and President Obasanjo, both of who wear the toga and chant the man­tra of anti-corruption. Shockingly, according to the TI data, President Obasanjo’s first tenure had the worst scale of corruption during the 35 years period between 1979 and 2015.

The TI Corruption Perception Index is a rating of countries from 1 to 100 showing their corruption scale. A rating of 1 is the worst and rating of 100 means a country is completely free of corruption. The pass mark is 50 and any country scoring below 50 is considered a corrupt country.

In the year 2000, Nigeria was ranked the most corrupt country in the world – and improved mar­ginally in 2001 and 2003 when it was rated the second most corrupt nation in the world in the TI’s Cor­ruption Perception Index. This was certainly not under the watch of President Jonathan.

Since 2012, Nigeria has made steady improvements in the CPI. Indeed, under President Jonathan, for the first time in decades, Nige­ria is not in the list of 1-10 most corrupt countries in the world.

In the 2014 Transparency In­ternational’s Corruption Percep­tion Index, issued in December, Nigeria was ranked 136 out of 175 countries surveyed in the re­port. This ranking placed Nigeria, alongside five other countries, as the 39th most corrupt country in the world. This is Nigeria’s best ranking in the last four years.

With this ranking, Nigeria leap­frogged eight countries within a space of one year – from the 31st most corrupt nation in 2013 to the 39th in 2014. This may be regard­ed by cynics as a small achieve­ment: but it represents a big step in the right direction.

Indeed, the administration of President Jonathan deserves some commendation for the positive steps it has taken, and the modest achievements it has made so far, in the war against corruption – rather than the vengeful knocks it is re­ceiving from various quarters.

DaBullIT:
Looks like transparency International is seeing an opaque view of Nigeria


Nigerians used to hear of millions , now they steal Billions and Trillions but you want US , WE living in Nigeria to believe your report?

Park well abeg , We don dey see the truth

Bros!U no c d source?Na wa ooooo.

saxywale:
The truth is the Nigerian automobile market still has a long way to go. Most of our mechanics are quacks and people patronize them alot.

Then why would you buy a brand new Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Subaru e.t.c then drive it to kazeem's place to fix, these guys can't fix new model cars as these cars are out of their league. They learnt their trade on datsun and other extinct car models. Also vital components in new vehicles are covered by warranty till around 100,000 km or 5 years, whichever comes first. So your stories ain't adding up.

Then, if you can also afford a new car, then you shouldn't have a problem repairing the car in a standard service centre operated by the car manufacturer or an assigned dealer.

U r right to an extend but I will also blame d owners too.From my little observation n what I've experienced,Car owners always look 4 cheap service n that's what u get when u can't afford to pay 4 a good service.Kazeems av a lot of options in d market.

Man don dey suffer since 600BC.

Someone have to go 2 jail.its madness 4 such thing 2 happen

Hmmmm.

denedene:

All these people calling his words bluff are doing so becos they have no idea what these people are capable of. First of all, unlike Boko Haram, these ones have dia own money and dnt rely on external forces for funding, they do bunkery and lots of oda oil deals so they got the money.

Secondly, these people have conquered there immediate enviroment which is the land and practically live up in water or can stay longer in water hence, it wud take a whole lot to curb them

Thridly, the kind of weapons they wield is not a joke, forget all these BH guns and Bombs, forget that dey did Armnesty and surrendered their weapons on TV, those weapons dey submitted are the worn out ones cus the real weapons are chilling somwia.

I grew up in POrt harcourt and I was in PH at the time when they started their chaos and trust me, it wasn't palatable, we know the kind of gun shots we heard, No be moi moi guns o, that time we they drink tea dey dodge bullet.
The Govt had better take dem seriously for these guys don't play..

So,nigeria should b afraid of them?Weapons pass weapon.Jona had made Nigeria looks weak with his action.What a shame.

Last week, I drove a Toyota corolla to Enugu. Due to my itinerary, I had to follow the Owerri route to Enugu.

I took off from Lagos with 45ltrs of petrol. my windows were wound down cos I didn't need the AC that early in the morning but on getting to Benin, the low fuel warning light came on. I was disappointed cos the corolla is not known for high fuel consumption. I pulled out my scanner and scanned the power train even though the CEL was not on and got no codes.

I bought another 45ltrs of fuel in Benin. This time, I needed the AC cos the weather had warmed up. I got to Enugu on half tank of fuel despite taking a longer route and using the AC.

Using the AC would demand more fuel but driving with your windows down will demand much more.

It will takes a wise one to understand an utterance of a wise one.

Barely 15 days to the end of the present administration’s tenure, the Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved four different roads totaling N31billion for the Niger Delta.

According to earlier briefings by the Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, the Wednesday meeting was the last one during which projects can be approved while a valedictory session would be held next week.

Oru said the four roads are in Bayelsa, Ondo and Delta States.

The All Progressives Congress and its candidate in the April
11 governorship election in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, have accused the governor-elect, Mr. Nyesom
Wike, of evading service of the processes of their election
petition seeking the nullification of the results of the poll.
The petitioners made the allegation through their counsel,
Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), at the inaugural sitting of the
Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Apo,
Abuja on Wednesday.
Akeredolu said all attempts by the bailiff of the court to
effect service on Wike had been futile.
He then urged the court, through an ex parte application, to
allow the petitioners serve Wike through a substituted
means of pasting the process on the wall of his house to
avoid unnecessary delay of proceedings.
In a short ruling, Justice Muazu Pindiga-led tribunal, granted
the prayer of the petitioners and ordered that substituted
service be effected on the respondent either by pasting the
court processes on the gate of his house or that of the PDP
secretariat in Rivers State or in Abuja.
He said the efforts to serve the court papers on the
governor-elect failed due to alleged non-cooperative
attitude of the people in Wike’s Port-Harcourt and Abuja
homes.
Akeredolu said the court bailiff had on a number of
occasions visited Wike’s residences in Abuja and Port
Harcourt but was always turned back at the gate by the
governor-elect’s agents when they found out the bailiff’s
mission to serve court processes.
The former President of the Nigerian Bar Association,
however, said he could however not establish “whether it
was Wike that instructed his agents not to accept service.”
After granting an order of substituted service, the panel then
adjourned the case but stated that it would communicate
the next hearing date to parties to the petition.
Through their petition, Peterside and the APC are
challenging the victory of the PDP candidate on grounds of
alleged irregularities and massive rigging that characterised
the election.
Other defendants in the petition are the Independent
National Electoral Commission and the PDP.
There are other four petitions challenging Wike’s victory
before the tribunal.
The other petitioners are Charles Harry of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance, Tonye Princewill of Labour
Party, Kemka Elenwo of KOWA Party and Minaibim Harry of
the Social Democratic Party.
Earlier in his inaugural speech, the chairman of the panel,
Justice Pindiga, had appealed to parties and the media to
cooperate with the tribunal in the discharge of its duties.

The emboldened defined the President-elect as a puppet to moneybags and very insincere/compromised man. You can't cut a deal with the devil to fight evil, neither can you team up with corrupt element and thieves to say you are the masses man. Charity begins at home.
