presiade: If you supported/ voted GEJ in 2011 and still support him like this

Naijagunner83: Who is this whiz kid? Look at how you just assembled your ignorance and chose Nairaland as a platform to advertise it.
Are you for real? So in your empty skull, you don't know that ETF has been specialized as TETFUNDS since 2011?

When I saw this topic, i was shocked and rushed to see the newspaper that is so d.umb to generate this ignorant story. I felt a bit relieved that it was not a newspaper publication but the figment of imaginations of an ignorant fellow.

In your desperation to label GEJ as clueless, you have exposed how ignorant and dumb you are actually.
Next time, learn to ask questions and make proper verification of your facts before posting topics.
Thank you.

Vogue50: The Governor of Delta State , Dr Emmanuel uduaghan , has reiterated That all the governors approved the Good Governance Tour Exercise before its commencement and also applauded the minister for Information , Labaran Maku , for his initiative and progress so far.
The essence of the Tour isn't to undermine the efforts and achievements of any Governor , especially non- PDP Governors but to enlighten the public about giant strides so far taken by Government , showcasing justifiable achievements made by the States and federal Government Respectively.
The Good Governance Team were in States - nassarawa , Imo and anambra - that are non-PDP , the Governors of these states acknowledged and commended the Team. I see no reason why oshiomole would resolve to cheap blackmail all of a sudden to berate their well deserved commendations !
I am well convinced that all these blackmail ,ranting and dissatisfaction by Gov.Adams and Lia Mohammed is just the beginning of a new political Ploy to create cheap popularity for their new Party- CPC and redicule all the achievements shown so far by Labaran Maku led Team.
I won't be surprised if the South -West Governors ,excluding Gov. Mimiko Should behave likewise.

A-ZeD:
The GGT is pure rubbish. Do people of edo state need Maku to tell them if the road they are driving on is Good?

don33310: Jonathan is a complete FAILURE,the worst president in Nigeria history.

earthgreeners: This GEJ is too corrupt...
I thought they said he wanted to follow due process....
May God forgive the GEJ buttlicker, they are only interested in money and not their future....

Ijogz K: I hope they don't move this fake news to the front Page.. It sounds so lame!

Frank-C:
A very powerful man once said that power is deemed more powerful when sparingly used.

The Senate only have powers to summon and issue arrest warrant, not to convict. If Maina is arrested and dragged to the Senate house today, the question is what next. There are far more intelligent ways to handle certain things. Does it mean that Maina's present office is shielding him from prosecution that he must be sacked before being prosecuted or is sacking the punishment ad[i]-JUDGED[/i] adequate by the senate as the right price for his offense?

The Presidency is very correct, at least on paper. Every right thinking person knows that the civil service is one of the toughest places to sack a confirmed employee, not even a cleaner. This was built in by the same Senate to shield civil servants from political victimization. If Maina is sacked today, he will go to court and will easily win his case unless he is disciplined by the civil service following the established procedure.

I've got no love for Maina but our Senators should stop behaving like the lower house. They are meant to be more mature and less exuberant. First, refer their case to EFCC/ICPC, mount political pressure on these executive agencies to get quick results. These agencies will then charge the man to court and possibly convict him if found guilty. But no!, they want their ego
massaged...and immediately!!!

But more importantly is the way the Senate is going about this whole issue. They are being unnecessarily emotional and taking it very personal. They have now opened themselves up to more
loopholes. One civil servant- Maina- has held a 109 member Senate captive and they are crying like babies to the President to help them save face by pushing the police and sacking the man
as if we are in the military era. Next time they want to use their powers of summon, they should first seek better and more mature ways of handling the issue. Again, power is deemed more
powerful when sparingly used.

Gbawe: My brother, 'whistle-blowers' are revered worldwide. It is only only Nigerians, deranged by 'Stockholm-Syndrome', who prefer to hold brief for those destroying them with lies, misrule and corruption. If Maku is lying, should he not be exposed? Is he a private individual or an important government appointee? I don't get Nigerians at all.

In the UK, a very well run Nation, whistle blowers actually have more credibility and audience than politicians. Yet in Nigeria that has been destroyed by politicians, you find the poverty-ridden people cursing Saharareporters et al while vehemently defending their oppressors masquerading as political leaders. Fela was right with his "suffering and smiling" observation. The mentality of Nigerians has been bastardized by years of misrule. That is why it is common to see Nigerians talking and behaving abnormally today in comparison to citizens of other Nations.

Maduale: Going by the "success" recorded so far by Sahara reporters in deceiving people with fabricated stories form ghost sources, I think I may have to open my own online news site too.
All it takes is just to sit down in my bedroom and write that SOURCES told me this and that.
I will come up with catchy headlines that will catch the fancy of the gullible and denigrate my enemies.

I could just write " Minister of Foriegn Affairs in 150 billion dollars scandal"

I will proceed as follows: Sources have revealed to Mango reporters that the Minister of Foriegn Affairs, Mr Balla Briggs, is enmeshed in a 150 billion dlollar scandal" sources say the monies were withdrawn on a first line charge basis from an escrow account domicilled with chase Mahhatan bank in South Carolina USA with account number CH 234742789"
SOURCES say the transaction was effected after approval was given by Seun Osewa on 14th December 2012 at Nairaland hotel off premum tines street, Ikeja at 2.35 pm.

ballabriggs: This Maku's CV that I am being shown is because I said Jona should fire the m0r0n.

Abacha don die now, everybody was a "part of the struggle". Even Maku wey dey village dey drink 'fura de nunu' was a "part of the struggle". When Abacha dey we did not see any of them.

But why not fire Maku? Maku has spent billions on a useless "Good Governance Tour", going around the country to tell lies and drink 'fura de nunu' but has barely had 1% of the impact of a Sahara Reporters reporting all the way from New York. Now he did not end there, because of the seeming low impact of this fradulent tour, he has decided to be condescending and call the good people of Nigeria names as they refused to believe his lies but will rather believe what they see on ground.

Can you now see how dull he is? The money Maku has spent on that fraudulent tour will have been better used in providing water for those people suffering from poor sanitary conditions in Nasarrawa, those suffering from guinea worm in the northern part of Nigeria.

This is what Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has called for but m0r0ns like Maku and the dolts he has employed to troll the internet have decided to crucify him. How can a leadership be so wasteful and fraudulent yet we expect development? You do not need a "Good Governance Tour" to show people what is on ground, when they feel the impact of good governance, they will tell you.

Jona fire Maku now!!! This should be a starting point to reforming the public sector by removing a redundant 'Minister of disinformation'. When you fire him, these other m0r0ns who are wasting what should be used in providing development needs for the vulnerable in the society will go with him.

ballabriggs: Bring down a low life? Muhehehehehe. Now compare Maku to all other Information Ministers before him. You know the result, he is the dumbest of them all. From Ofonagoro, to Jerry Gana, to Nwodo, to Nweke, to Akunyili and even to Chukwumerije he does not match any even by half.

Now you see it, he is a weak point in Jona's administration and Jona will do well to fire the dullard.

Maku wants to go to Harvard. Them tell am say na 'Fura de Nunu' dem dey serve there? Muhehehehehehe

Jona fire Maku now!!!

vascey: Step 1: I read the article with an open mind
Step 2: I followed the discourse, accusations and counter accusations
Step 3: Evidence was presented. Precisely 57:27 on the 3hr long embedded video.
Reference was made on the article to the booing when the issue of electricity was brought up by Labaran maku.
Step 4: I watched the video. Specifically I watched from 56:20 to 58:05.
Step 5: I noted the reaction of the crowd on 57:27(in the background because they were not showed, however flags were raised)

CONCLUSION: THEY DID NOT BOO LABARAN MAKU on 57:27-30 (They should have but they did not). THE AUTHOR LIED AND THE EVIDENCE IS HERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

I do not support GEJ and his cronies but a deceitful and misleading watchdog is even worse than the thief. Tonight I am disappointed in Sahara.

ballabriggs: A low life that is what you are. What if he calls the US home? The World is moving beyond defensive low brains like you, breaking boundaries, integrating races and cultures. We are getting to the stage where you will see a Chinese Nigerian. This is what progressives want and not the defensive approach to humanity you and Labaran Maku from your cave wish us all.
