₦airaland Forum

take dat: I feel Maku's pain, the guy is so out of prominence with Abati and Okupe completely taken over his duties. Maku truly needs a good PR from his suck ups!

And if this is all your dumb brain has to offer in response to the facts raised by the Op, then it's a pity. Imbecility cannot come in a better form.

banki: @mandela guy,i wouldnt want to join issues with you and i maintain that LABARAN MAKU was part of the CORRUPT VERY VERY CORRRUPT Abdulahi Adamu administration that destroyed nassarawa states finances, and sold almost all government properties to thier principal, they were all part of it and I have first hand information.

I Also challenged you and the rest of the people on the good governnace tour to criss cross nigeria by road, you guys started by going to states like nassarawa and benue and delibrately avoided the real people,and stopped in jos, you guys did not go round any of this states, you would have just used the oturkpo road in Benue to link enugu so you know that nigerians are not fools.

Its saddens me that people like you come online to let people believe that all is well because you stand to gain a couple of millions but posterity would judge all of you....

My friend, stop confusing issues and face facts. It's funny how you turn logic on its head just to attack Maku. There's no collective responsibility for crime. So you sound ridiculous when you accuse Maku for being part of a corrupt govt. no body goes to jail on account of a crime committed by others.

The fact that some people were corrupt in AbdulAhi Adamu's administration does not make Maku guilty. You should know this. The administration in question was investigated by EFCC. The ex Governor, Abdulahi Adamu, was apprehended alongside others and charged to court. As we speak, that case is still goin on. Maku was neither indicted nor charged by EFCC for corruption.
This is clear evidence of Maku's integrity and wholesome trackrecord in public service. It also reinforces my earlier assertions.

I laughed out my buttocks when you added me to the tour. I wish it could come to pass immediately. It will be nice to enjoy the convoy, hotel lodgings and paparazzi rather than waste my time following the event on Nairaland and twitter.
The problem with most of you is that you don't bother to read newspapers or even watch news on TV. You are stuck on Nairaland like a robot for 24 hours. So you are not properly informed.
I will advice you to add @FMINigeria on twitter for updates on the tour.

It is not true that the tour started with Nassarawa and Benue. The tour actually started with Abuja, Kwara, Niger, Plateau before Benue and Nassarawa. Information on the tour is available on the National Good Governance tour threads on Nairaland. I followed it seriously so I know.

You also goofed big time when you asked them to cross cross by road. They have been doing that along in all the states visited. At the Kwara town hall meeting which I watched live on NTA, Maku was praised by speakers for passing through the Jebba road to Ilorin.

The Benue-Oturkpo road you mentioned was visited by the Minister. The pictures are on Nairaland. Google it. Stop broadcasting falsehood on social media platforms. Posterity will not forgive you for Misleading the public with lies.

@banki,
It's so unfortunate that you have decided to begrudge Maku just for nothing sake. I never said he moved the SEC motion for establishment of the state university as deputy Governor.
He did that as a commissioner in that cabinet. He was a commissioner before he became deputy Governor.
The issue is, whether as commissioner or deputy governor, he is still the same Maku.
You cant take away the credit due to him. It contradicts your allegations that he did nothing under Abdullahi Adamu.

banki: I wonder what you mean by impeccable reputation a man of character..... The same man that was deputy governnor to Abdulahi Adamu for four years and virtually did nothing but share Nassarawa states meagre resource and turn the state into debt crises.

The same character of a man who was known as an sug president in University of JOs AND campaigned against policies he now supports because he is chopping?

The story by the op doesnt make sense, but any attempt to make labaran maku look like a saint should be nipped in the bud, besides why did they stop the good governanc tour, why have they not visited all the states, they should show us good governance in maiduguri, Damaturu etc those places are part of nigeria, and they should and must go by road.... they should go to lokoja, and edo state during the raining season, then they should face east and head for anambara through Delta, then to enugu then to imo and abia by road, then they would know if nigerians believe governments bull shit.

Mr Man, if there is anything you can't take away from Labaran Maku, it is his integrity. I was seeking admission in UNIJOS at the twilight of his stint as SUG President. He was a dogged students Union activist. He commanded the respect and admiration of all students then. He was almost like a hero to all Josites in those dark days of Military rule.
Maku had the courage to confront the then Military government and was at the vanguard of several NAN'S struggles. His reputation in students union activism earned him a place in the pro democracy struggles as he became a vocal critic of military rule as a staff of Champion newspapers.

You said he did not do anything as Deputy Governor to Abdullahi Adamu. How many Deputy Governors in Nigeria did anything? Even a toddler in Nigerian politics appreciates the limitations of that office. A deputy Governor in Nigeria is merely ceremonial and can at best be an errand boy to his OGA. That nothwitstanding, I have watched Maku entertain questions on his tenure as Deputy. I remember particularly how he said that he moved a memo at SEC meeting proposing the establishment of Nassarawa State University. He gave a vivid account of how he struggled thru thick and thin to set up the university and today, the University is running and producing graduates.

Always try to be more matured in your criticisms. Go out of your way to google people's background before coming to yab on a forum like this.
Im happy you admitted that the report is rubbish. Isn't it testamentary of Maku's wholesome integrity that the reporter could not find something substantial to accuse him of?
At a time when Ministers are being linked with massive corruption running into billions, the only allegation that they could throw at Maku is that he failed to pay a journalist 100 thousand Naira as proceeds from an imaginary monetization of goodwill messages from State Governors visited.
That tells you a lot about the Integrity of Maku.

This is a pathetic piece. The Honourable minister has an impeccable reputation and is a man of character. These allegations are baseless and malicious.

Sincerely, where I stay, we have almost 24hours power supply. For instance, the only day there was any form of blink was on Thursday afternoon. So far, GEJ has performed more than the past presidents we have had, take it or leave it, I have my own facts.

[quote author=fr_evangel]One thing common with CPC and ACN folks on Nairaland is that they all lost their morality. They don't find it hard to insult the elderly. Must you use disrespectful and hate words when making a point? I think they are good examples of the CPC stalwarts (Pastor B, El-nino and General B) and the hypocrites from ACN (Ashiwaju and co.). I am not a PDP supporter but every time I try to read through comments on Nairaland, I just notice the trend.[/quote]Party sentiments becloud their proper and good sense of judgement. If you are looking for what has kept Nigeria shackled till this day, it is not far, such divisive attitudes and inciting comments only come from myopic beings who are robbed of good reasoning and sound analytical mind.

otokx: don't mind the chap? did you see how GEJ took OBJ to the cleaners over the odi issue.

I have always said it that GEJ's demeanour deceives people, his kind of people are made of tougher stuff, anyways, you guys should give it to the guy when he performs.

dayokanu: He eats twice a day. He eats fish pepper soup and drink kaikai.

All hail retardeen

Sarcasm will never solve the problem of this nation. GEJ has good plans and policies, we all should be asking for the will to implement them? I heard him making promises of giving us many things to be proud of b the time he leaves office with his team. We should encourage and criticise analytically while waiting to hit them on their failures, as or, we cannot change anything for now. Without our supports,any government we put in place will fail.

This senseless trigger happy police officers should be given ALUU treatment.

Why is this making front page while other important issues never near it? Seun and co, I have been shouting o! Una no de try o! When Dino, make u go clean up your act before some of us can listen to you.

I am following this life,wait o! Is Nasarawa having drug problems amongst her people? No naaah! These youths need to be more gainfully engaged before it becomes a tragedy. The questions are rolling in.

Nasarawa people are voicing their frustrations through the question and answer session. Al-Makura needs to increase his productivity level and give more to his people, grassroot projects are usually key to development. I wish Nasarawa the best of lucks.

Seun: Send me a link to the thread you're talking about.

Seun, check all the hidden posts made by countryman93 on the good governance tour.

banki: you guys make me laugh.... is it by force to hear government lies? no body is seriously paying atention to the good governace tour...

When they went to Benue did they invite the common man to the town hall meeting? did they realy tour benue or just markudi?

When they went to ..... dont even know how the tour is going enlighten us because they went to Jos to commision projects that were intiated by other governments etc...

I think they went to kogi but i dont know if they went by road? even when they went to niger state did they actually pass the express road from abuja to minna?

Mandelaguy and Elueme please you guys should know that nigerians would feel the government when the government performs they dont need you or labaran maku to tell them, when we pay for fuel expensive fuel we know when you show us hospitals youve fixed and you fly to germany and isreal when you have cold, we know ! even when you buy jets and chase us away from the streets we know if thats good governance... am sorry for you

It is really pathetic when pessimism has made people like you blind to simple truths, did you herat Labaran tell Benue governor to please "next time, keep the town hall meeting away from government house and take it to places where people can freely come in and participate"? I guess not. Personally, I had so many doubts about government, and was actually wondering what they were doing with our money, till this tour termed national good governance came, I have seen what states are doing, it has been a big eye opener, I have come to appreciate Federal influence in all the visited states so far, I have come to see major Federal and state projects going on in various states, and has really seen the efforts in repositioning power, with major dam projects, substations and power distribution plants springing up all over the federation. Locations of those projects are given as they are visited, for doubters and people blind to truths like you to go there and tell Nigerians that such things are not existing there. We even saw cases of non performing contractors and saw their sites publicly exposed, whether you accept the truth or not, so many Nigerians are watching and following the trend,minority truth twisters like you will not make us see truths and call them lies.

I just checked the posts again, the ones depicting serious projects are still hidden, it is either this Seun and his crew are now habitual truth hiders or this their spambot is GEJ and Good governance bug infested.

My problem now is, can Seun and co show neutrality and take this admonition thread or other threads on the National Good Governance tour to the front page? Enough of all this pretence and lies. Other less nationally important topics make front page without serious comments and posts. Make una tell them o!

warrior01: Biafran blood being avenged, more to go

Choose your words wisely,before they start thinking it is ndigbo that are after them. We will not tolerate bn slaughtered again.

Lol. Are you guys forcing their hands now to make it a front page? You guys are biting too much o!

Jarus: To untag same posts/threads posted twice? Tell me the definiton of spamming.

Show the evidence of your claims or simply keep quiet. Thank You.

Is it not absurd and ridiculously petty that all posts and thread on National Good Governance Tour got hidden all of a sudden and the posters banned? Don't mind the sellouts who did the non.sense, I am happy people are realising the truth and are willing to fight for it. On the path of truth will I always stand.

We cannot be intimidated, I have never allowed myself to be,not now or ever.

dedeike: I decided to give Nairaland a break when I noticed that it was ab initio designed to serve certain political interests.

Same decision I made, but I think we should nt do dt anymore, their impetus is becoming too irritating. This one will not make front page because it indicts them, mark my words. Like I said, we are all watching, I come to nairaland daily, but keep quiet to see what others have to say on issues, Dedeike, I think it is a mistake to just allow Seun, Jarus and conspiring moderators do whatever they deem fit, they own the site, but we all own this forum because it is our voices and opinion that makes it tick. This is my humble submission.

Elueme: [b]Haba!, this is unfair. What could have warranted this? Seem like a selective engagement or rather the moderators would have said what they are not comfortable with instead of trending this path.. I follow the posts on the tour because as a nationalist, I needed to know what our state governors are doing instead of the unwarranted blames the citizens direct to the federal government, I feel states should also be accountable and held liable. The media are a washed with news of federal govt but little is heard of what individual states are doing so platforms like this as offered by this tour is one of the opportunities some Nigerians may have to know. Personally speaking I want to see what PDP and ACN states are doing so we can compare instead of relying on media's propaganda. First, I commend the effort of the Op, one countryman guy, you have afforded me the opportunity to have a knowledge of what govtt is upto in the area of capital projects and this platform has also given me a glimpse of what some states governors e.g plateau and Kwara are doing for their people. Before now, I wrote Plateau off as a performing state.
To the moderators, I may not know your reasons for this actions but i think we are adults and civilized so it will be good if the Op or the public are told your reasons. Long before my registering into this forum, I visit for information gathering and I know there are thousands of Nigerians in my shoes. First I saw it as a platform where people express their feelings on issues provided you are not breaching the law of the country and the laws guiding the forum. A citizen is privileged to have an access to information and evidence of a national tour and chose to share it with others, I think such person should be commended and not discouraged. To Seun, Jarus and co, irrespective of what we do here, we are first Nigerians, let it be impressed on us that we should put our nation first. Pls, I need to follow up with what is going on. The op of this thread said they are in Nasarawa and that's a state of interest to me because CPC government is there. I am interested in comparing and contrasting the activities of governors, [/b]

You just nailed it my brother, no body has a right to starve us of information or deny us our right to know. Not Seun, not Jarus or any othe moderator, we refuse to be told what to take or not take. I couldn't have put it better....Elueme, well done.

[quote author=touch_me_hard]I hereby move a motion that Every thread on the National Good Governance Tour 2012 should remain on the Frontpage, until the tou so over. Those in support of my motion say "AYE"[/quote]AYE

SOH KAH TOA: Chei!!, no I don't believe Seun or the moderators can do this. .however, those threads look like bringing out the positive aspect of government but we are not immuned to only bad news. . If the 36 states can be toured at leadt we may be able to judge this time with evidence. I have much regard for this forum based on what I was told before joining last month, though what I am witnessing is below my expectation but I must commend the initiators. For this forum to attain that height, there should be liberty provided it's within the confines of the law guiding the forum and the country.pls, let there be equity.God bless your hussle.

I have been following the developments in the National Good governance Tour and taking and compiling my own notes too, yes, Labaran Maku has told us that Federal executive council approved it and that it will go round the 36 states. Let us see how fast non PDP states will make I to the front page with fewer pages. Time will judge Seun and co!

Jarus: ^^^^

From my investigations, your posts were tagged spam by our spambot and that was right. You were posting same topic(tour of Plateau, for example) more than once, in some cases in even wrong sections like programming.

I have untagged one each for each of the multiple topics and they are now visible. When next you open multiple threads for same topic, you wont enjoy this.

Go and sin no more.

Countryma93, from now, I will be following you personally on every thread you open, come o, Jarus! What non.sense are you talking about spambot and no spambot? You and I know that you just told a white lie now, anyway, you have no power to forgive any sin, so, don't go that direction again and I too have checked what you have untagged, it is not enough, untag everything because countryman93 is making me understand tha you are still hiding some sensitive and important ones. Come o! Is what Bukkyade saying true? With all the posts I saw on the national good governance tour, non made front page? Haba mutumi, that is gross injustice, make nairaland no fall my hands like Saharareporters o!

Jarus: This is the relevant sentence. Yet, you didnt mention this in the whole epistle you typed on there.

Anyway, I will investigate and get back to you.

The epistle as you called it is as clear as the one apostle Paul wrote to the Church in Ephesus and Philipians, don't feign ignorance of what I wrote, it makes nonsense of all you and I should stand for, and men that indulge in such are easily forgotten. It is an advice.

Jarus: What can't you guys be specific, rather than all these blabbing?

What exactly is the issue? Which thread was locked? That's all we need.

Come o! Jarus! Why would you hurl veiled insults at people, why should a moderator see a glaring act of injustice and as people are blabbing? Anways, let me pretend you are not referring to me.

Jarus: What can't you guys be specific, rather than all these blabbing?

What exactly is the issue? Which thread was locked? That's all we need.

Jarus, no one is blabbing here, OMG! I just went to countryman93's post, you people hid all his posts, why would you do that? Unblock them, people are waiting to be making their contributions on the good governance tour.

Captainajama: My brother, no be small thing o! What is Jarus and co turning to? People cannot take this lying down, we need to know wah is happening in this country, and everyone is free to show us from their own angle. We cannot be fed with only what some group want us to fee from. They should nan those threads and the people posting things on them, we are all watching

I know that a lot of people are watching and talking, my twitter handle and blog is being disturbed because of this, that was what drew my attention to this matter and I have taken time to o through the whole thing and became very unhappy when I saw that it is true.......haba moderators! Are you guys now working for a particular group? Answer us by blocking this one and get an all out war!

Is nairaland becoming partial and corrupt? I do not want to believe that a forum we have all begun to see as different will start rubbing shit on our faces. I have not really commented much on issues recently because of my tight schedule, my blog and other business interests, but it was with dismay that I noticed that everything on the on going good govenance tour on nairaland had been wiped or compromised and the people involved banned. As you all know, I hate any form of injustice and I cannot stand to Keep quiet and watch things get out of hand, hence this thread. I am urging people who stand on the path of truth to talk on this matter. They may try to block me nice again as they have always done, but this is a copy of the letter I sent to the moderators,


It is with utmost dismay that I have come to observe the partiality and partisan nature at which you people now moderate and treat issues that are of public discus, it is unfair and unjust. You are supposed to be impartial about all this, but it is surprising that you are not. The good governance tour that is on-going is supposed to allow Nigerians speak their minds and people residing in the visited areas to either corroborate the stories or show them as false, not for you to remove the threads and ban those who are posting. I have not really participated much in the debates of posts, but I was dismayed when I saw what you guys have done. I urge you to release those threads and unban the people example is someone like countryman93. I don't want to start something that will bring nairaland to disrepute, this is a social media era, and through m website, I have over 50,000 people raing to attack this issue and it will hurt nairaland badly and portray it in a bad light. I have kept a copy of this mail I am sending to you now, so do not try turning it upside down.

Thanks,
MANDELAGUY.


Read, and judge,if we all are fighting against injustice in this country, should we condone it, should we oppress directly or indirectly? I speak because I have to. This piece of Poo must stop!!
