ARMAGEDDON 2015!!!
See Evil!
Hear Evil!

ilugunboy:

Next time..write proffer.

Well...the issue is nobody is under-playing anything. People are just genuinely concerned with the apparent coincidence...when there is still the heat generated by her apparent indiscretion of by-passing the extant rules guiding public procurements.

-Noted then!

"Apparent coincidence"! This, most times occur without our consent nor permission.
They are those "Wills", we mortals can't determine.

Do you mean to tell me that the Minister under imminent threat to her life, has no discretion to
purchase that which shall be for the protection of her life in the PPA?
What is indiscretion about purchasing a bullet proof car to safe guard her life from a bunch of "cruel retrograde"...

I marvel at the manner some Nigerians condescend very delicate and important matter to a "mere joker";
attaching unverified reports and fictions to matters of seriousness.

That the Minister's life was threatened and an attempt made, is a thing to worry about.
Let's drift from this brandishing of loyal-sympathy to a clan and embrace an unbiased policy, driven to change
the state of governance.

We should worry more on how to profer solutions to curbing the state of insecurity and hunt for those looting the nation,
than throw tantrums at the innocent.

-embrace good governance

pmc01:

Really? That's incredible!

I see you've got talent in comedy and alteration...
You should use it positively and not make wrong of it;
else, the likes of you promote decay act.

Contrary to your "performers in bed" and your "performing mistresses", a myopic conclusion
which I believe you prematurely adopted from your premature investigations, the Minister
with due respect has been able to command and execute change in the aviation industry.

-Take Notice!

chidi jp:

Then I advise you get a durable seat to sit on coz she isn't leaving soon.
Why reel out one of your best performer, is that done anywhere?
Miss Oduah amidst criticism remain one of the best performing minister the nation's got.

Please take a comparison on the present state of our airports and 3 years back?

The "unforeseen" fears her reforms, reason they challenge and mobilize for her removal.

I want to believe that the S.A was shown the way out on basis of accountability and job effectiveness...
If this act will bring sanity to the good governance of the nation, then, it's most applaudable.

Dannylux: The idea of free and fair election in Nigeria is merely an utopic idea. After all is said and done, your vote wouldn't still count!

My brother, lack of knowledge makes a man limited... The issue of a free and fair election must first start from the electorates, who will devote time to wait at the polling units after casting their votes to making sure that the polling officers, do not manipulate the vote in their absence.
It is only when we allow the conspiracy of rigging the election to come to pass that the utopic principle may then be evoked.

Zona.com:
Even if jega goes down east to supervise the election himself, some people will still find fault.

Lol...! Fault, something we are good at doing, rather than profer a way out.

It is immaterial the nomanclature appointed to supervise Anambra polls, what matters is the ability
to offer a free and fair election void of crisis or violence.

Demdem: Ingrate students.
Your teachers should go back to classes when they are being owned years of allowances.
Nonsense.

I support NANS on this one. What is ASUU's problem? They want FG to pay them 800B? From where? From which budget?
The total annual budget is 4.9 trillion. Education got the single highest allocation of 45Ob(this is given that security is divided into defence,SSS, POLICE etc). The allocation to Education is the highest of all time and represents a tenth of the budget.

Apart from that, GEJ has released additional 100B For infrastructure and 30B for ASUU Allowances. That should be sufficient for now while stakeholders work towards evolving alternative options for permament university funding in Nigeria

Sincere 9gerian: ACN and its spokesperson hav lost it COMPLETELY. Does it mean the ACN cannot set aside partisan politics for one second? Must the ACN politicise every and anything?
Smh!

This same good governance tour was in Imo (APGA), Anambra (APGA) and Nasarawa (CPC). Their visit to Imo was particularly interesting because Rochas Okorocha used some of the things that was said (including what Maku said) during the visit to run TV commercials for some weeks. What then is the problem with ACN and Lai Muhammed?

All the while, I'v been non-challant towards political parties but the ACN is making me HATE the party. I dont like the PDP nor any of the other political parties but the ACN is beginning to disgust me.

How else can one best define MEDIOCRITY if not this...
Why won't they bark when good they see not of the much better Jonathan Administration...
I am really not surprised this is coming up...I did expect this earlier than now...coming now when the NGGT set to
explore the South Western states, only leaves the thought of a party threatened by a better performance from PDP.

I wonder what Oshiomole is up to? Or could he be harbouring dirts in his wardrobe? A Tour which have been an avenue for showcasing both positivity and negativity notwithsatnding...
That the tour is the FG's responsibility doesn't make it a jamboree as submitted by the Governor, who I think hides more than the eyes can see...

Akshow: you mind the Mumu? Stupid Ewu gambia.

Why beefing...drop ur comment and stop hating... Afterall, did u ever believe the Eagles were gonna get to the finals..
...and being at the finals cud mean World Cup Finals... OLamide noni! BaDdo!

Puntae: It is now obvious that we ve totally lost touch of morality and constructive criticism, we now choose to employ the principles of subtle insult and loquacious criticism thereby murdering the essence of debating an issue. I wonder what message we seek to pass to the people on the podium of battering one another just to clarify issues. Are we now holier than the characters we criticise or praise?

On both ends, picking out a few constructive submissions; you have made vital submissions and indeed deliberated on relevant issues. Whether Maku is or is not the best Information Minister, is inconsequential, what is relevant indeed is the fact which defines his been 'best' or not.

Truth be told and lets a spade be a spade and without prejudice, drawing from the pleatorial of the uncompromising effort of theHon. Minister, he deserves a credit. His unrelenting attitude towards change is indeed remarkable. Many, but to speak on one, the Good Governance Tour which presently still drives.

Finally, didn't know u can make such a sensible submission, tot u re also one of those moronic critics... DemDem and Co.....

Puntae: STILL VIEWING THOUGH WITH AN INTEREST!

Yours is a bias one we don't need u here.. So PASS like ur doing....!

Mandelaguy: What has the date of registration have to do the with the fact that has been tabled before this forum, if you have no reasonable contributions to make on this topic please you are advised to keep shut,as not to distract others with your ignorance. Anyone can register at any time he or she deems fit, why bring up the issue of registration here?

I GUESS HE OR SHE LACKS IT KNOWLEDGE... and needs to be tutored!

pheesayor:

you read my mind, the first over 7 comments to this thread are members of "THE TEAM" check out their profiles















This one even registered on my birthday

CHeck out the date they registered, the section where they are active and their posts.

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

Unbelievable, this goes to portray an indept decay of the application of knowledge.. If such an energy to make a search evaluation cud be directed to carry out such fallacy inorder to decipher the character of certain person, I hail thee but then, why isnt such energy directed to making a search on the works of the present Minister of Information which majorly, had and still standing tall, least, to purge you off your myopic and much bias assertions.

diva_tosin:

Initially, I did not like the tour either. I saw it as a jamboree and unnecessary showmanship but when I saw the revelations from the tour on Nairaland, I picked interest.
I think that was the visit to plateau state. So many projects were on display by Jonah Jang. I never knew that Jang had done that much in that troubled state. I was shocked.
Then I decided to watch the plateau Town hall meeting on NTA. Both Maku and Jang were on hot seat answering questions from the large audience and viewers.
A whole lot of issues were raised ranging from insecurity, basic social amenities, abandoned projects, and the non payment of salaries to local government employees in the state.

I was happy with the way Jang handled the questions with much confidence and humor. Maku also did well. At the end of the day, people left the hall with satisfactory answers and that is the stuff participatory democracy is made of. Since that time, I don't miss it. But for some time now, I have not heard about the tour again.

Yea, the Good Governance Tour was indeed a good idea and truly a revelation to the many activities going on in various states, both the finished ones and the ones in progress.
That of Plateau States, thought most projects were FG's. Jang did a little...most of the state's own projects re even less cared about....

Maduale:

The bolded caught my attention. He deserves commendation for pushing through that bill. I remember the politics that has delayed the formulation and passage of that bill for years.
Severally it was thrown out of the National Assembly and the media was agog with condemnations over the insincerity of government to pass the bill.
It was believed that the bill will usher in accountability and openness in the running of government. This is so because everybody can easily demand to have any information he deems fit about any ministry or department of govt.
I remember that the yaradua administration came under heavy criticsm for playing politics with the freedom of information bill. They were accused of dreading the bill while they moved very fast to accelerate the passage of official secrets Act. The official secrets Act was the direct opposite of FOI. It seeks to hide the very information which the FOI intends to expose.

If Maku came in and the FOI was passed, it's not mere coincidence. It could have been a product of courage and political will to let the FOI see the light of day. I salute him for that

A good submission Maduale... Pin point submission of this nature re worth appreciating so as to expose the Bias to job effort rather than make a blind argument.

Bukkyade: The most ridiculous story ever. The reporter couldn't even tell us any figure behind the imaginary scam.
He said "that he cornered 100 thousand Naira" so so ridiculous.
I wanted to hear that the minister is enmeshed in 50 billion Naira scam or something. But there was nothing like that.
He also left 2012 budget to attack 2011 budget which was obviously prepared by Akunyili as the then information minister.
This is just coc.k and B.ull story

So ridiculous indeed. Like I said, I believe this piece was born out of Frustration and Depression, obviously, the writer must have taken adrenaline induce substance like Coke or SK, which resulted to writing this triviality. Totally, his representation of falseness sold him out and made a mess of this unbelievable piece.
Nigerians re now better observant to polity and can tell who errs...
Mallam Maku, remains a man of repute...

LMAO! Pls who is this dude? He must be suffering from FRUSTRATION and DEPRESSION. Well, am not suprised, after all we live in a country where a tout can jux wake up in the morning and post SHI.T as comment jux to catch fun with 'him/her-self'... Shior!!!
The queries represented in this stained piece, re indeed lies and fictitious...
From your un-disclosed source in the Presidency down to your myopic knowledge of the implementation of the 2011 budget, goes to further clarify the level of ur ill health...
...and at this juncture, I extend my sympathy to you and therefor wish u a speedy recovery from your present state of dillusion.
Mr. Labaran Maku is indeed a man to emulate, his giant strides to an effective leadership can not be contend with.

tpacalipse: Nairaland will never fail to attract rogues who will still give negative comments on heroic achievements of some great Nigerians. But I do understand that most of these puunks with negative comments have fathers, uncles, mothers, wives and even children in this government. Good job SR and let d haters hate.

Nairaland will not fail to attract ignoramuses like you who lack the intellectual capacity to discern a guerrilla online false peddler like Sahara reporters.

homerac7:

stop drooling. GEJ is almost a far minion on d roll call of d giants dt delivered NIPP. OBJ is over 90% responsible. they r multiyear projects wc he almost fully paid for before his exit - dt explains d mysterious $16bn. others just couldnt stopped it since it was almost fully paid for. so GEJ has little or nothn to do .

Don't say what you don't know. Agreed. Obj started and awarded most of the power plants under NIPP and funded by proceeds from excess crude account.
But it will be most untrue to credit him with 90% completion.
You will recall that in 2007, the house set up a committee to probe the power sector led by Hon Ndudi Elumelu. The committee established massive corruption in the handling of the NIPP power projects. In some cases, it was revealed that 100% payments have been made without any tangible project on ground. So how can you now claim OBJ completed 90%?
In some of the cases, the committee met overgrown weeds in places designated as power stations.

Due to these shocking revelations, Yaradua abandoned the NIPP projects without making alternative arrangements for generation.
It took Jonathan to intervene with his power sector roadmap. The roadmap was anchored on the revival of NIPP projects. Under Barth, the president pursued an aggressive refurbishment and completion of the power plants. This has yielded fruits as generational capacity has hit over 4000 megawatts.
Jonathan did it in less than a year. He deserves all the kudos.

The worst part of it all is that Obasanjo wasted over 100 billion to build some of these power plants and yet it wasn't working till GEJ came on board and completed them.
It took GEJ barely a year to revive 10 abandoned NIPP power plants. Today, they are generating over 4000 megawatts but the impact is limited due to distribution and transmission issues.

To this end, I commend GEJ for the ongoing privatization of PHCN Distribution companies(DISCOS). It is a right step in the right direction.
I also appreciate the restoration of Manitoba's contract for management of TCN. Gradually, we are getting it right.

The founder and builder of Shoprite of lies. CONGRATULATIONS!

Ameobi, 31 yrs and still invited!!! What happened to Osaze, who is younger and full of agility presently

CONGRATULATIONS NANA, YOU VE INDEED MADE NAIJA PROUD!
