Sincere 9gerian: Another BASELESS report from the US. The fact that the west has suddenly become very critical of the federal govt should raise the suspicion of every patriotic Nigerian. The US have been firing from all cylinders of recent. What are they up to? Does the US mean well for Nigeria? Is this all about the PIB and oil multinationals?

Yes, Nigeria has a problem with corruption and it is the RESPONSIBILITY of every Nigerian and the govt to solve this problem. We do not need a saintly sermon from US before we know we need to get to work to solve the problem of corruption. After all the US is not immune from corruption. Who has been preaching to the US on the need to stop immoralities like gay marriages and homosexuality?

Lets take some quotes from the BASELESS report and puncture them.

"Police corruption remained rampant. Reports of checkpoint bribery and shooting incidents decreased in February after newly appointed Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar announced the closure of all police checkpoints across the country; however, illegal checkpoints remained common in some regions. Police routinely stopped drivers who did not commit traffic infractions, refusing to allow them to continue until they paid bribes,”

This is like speaking from both sides of the mouth. The closure of unnecessary police check points across the country was an action taken by the govt to curb corrupt practices among police officers. Unfortunately, that action has to be balanced with the need to also check insecurity. Not all police check points are "illegal" as stated in the report. Even if the target of completly eradicating illegal police check points have not been achieved, PROGRESS has been made. If one takes a trip all the way from Enugu to Rivers in day time, you'll hardly see police check points (except inter-state check points). But if the journey is done in the evening or night, one would see several check points. I dont know whether these check points are legal or illegal but for someone travelling at night, its a kind of reassurance that the road is safe.

Again, if the govt has banned illegal police check points, it is the responsibility of citizens to report any check point that is nuisance.

"the US government listed the escape of the suspected mastermind of the Boko Haram 2011 Christmas Day bombing from custody, noting how the police commissioner, who aided the suspect went unpunished"

Yes, Kabiru Sokoto escaped. But he was later captured. The police officer, whose negligence led to his escape was dismissed. I recall the case was investigated by the Police Service Commission which later announced his dismissal. Can someone who was dismissed be said to have gone "unpunished"? Some of us expected more punishment and prosecution but the Police Service Commission is an institution set up by law and it is safe to assume they took the RIGHT decision according to rules and law governing the police. There's no point playing to gallery.


"former Delta State governor James Ibori in the Southwark Crown Court in London of charges of money laundering and other financialcrimes totaling N12.4bn, after he was acquitted by a Nigerian court"

It was unfortunate that Ibori was acquitted by a Nigeria court but that happened under previous regime. Again, the Judiciary is a SEPARATE arm of govt. Fortunately, the new Chief Justice of the Federation is taking steps to curb the impunity in the Judiciary. Recently, 3 Justices were sacked. About 14 Justices or so are currently being investigated by the National Judicial Council.

"and the N1.067trn fuel subsidy fund lost to “endemic corruption and entrenched inefficiency”

The planned removal of fuel subsidy would have put a final stop to the corruption in the scheme. Unfortunately, the fuel subsidy was only partially removed. Those who abused the system are currently undergoing prosecution.

"In late July, the EFCC began arraigning suspects, first with a group of 20 indictments, including six oil companies and 11 individuals. By year’s end, the EFCC initiated prosecutions of approximately 50 cases related to the subsidy scam. The majority of these cases involved companies and individuals who had fraudulently received subsidy revenue. Investigations and trials had not produced any convictions by year’s end.”

The executive has done its part by bringing the suspected subsidy thieves to court. The rest is for the JUDICIARY.

"It decried frequent abduction of civilians and lack of press freedom, highlighting cases, where journalists were harassed and beaten up"

Which journalist was beaten up this year? It is very uncommon in Nigeria of recent. I can only remember one incident in Lagos. To use this as proof of "MASSIVE CORRUPTION" is ridiculous.

In conclusion, the report is BASELESS. The instances given to support "MASSIVE CORRUPTION" are porous. Yes, we have a problem with corruption but the solution lies with every Nigerian. We dont need "saints" from US to tell us how to solve our problem

With respect to the fuel subsidy issue, don't also forget that the very same goons that currently insult the GEJ administration on this thread are the very same ones, along with their masters, that took to the streets in Lagos, calling for the halt in the removal of the subsidy payment, even though the FG had clearly warned about the consequences of such action in a number of public forums

As much as I like Obj, I won't be suprised if he had a unit such as that. There were reports that some operators/intelligence officers from the defunct Strike Force were not returned to their parent units, but used as instructors to creat new black Op unit. Even the NIA & DSS/SSS possess the capability to carry such operations, and I'm pretty sure they have units similar to the Kidon Group of the Isreali Mosssad.

jidegirl12: Na wa oh.... behavioural disorder and loneliness jammed together , the woman needs series of therapy sessions ( herself only) and marriage counselling ( couple) and serious prayers..... But would they ? after all only stack mad people have mental illness & see therapists , mtcheww.

It's easy for most dumb Nigerians to condemn people not knowing the other side of the story, it takes two to tango I heard.... Lets assume she hid her true colours throughout the short term courtship, what's stopping the guy from divorcing her abi dem hold gun to his head to stay married to her? Abeg leave matter for Mathias ,

My take;
Mr. OP , you're hardly home, your wife is a lonely mess, she will not seize from nagging till kingdom come i.e until you work with her ( counselling and one on one time) and your schedule( if possible).

And would you please stop saying 'she likes to have her way' ? you bet your a.ss it's her way, it's her home and she rules it.

Point of correction- it is THEIR HOME, but HIS HOUSE, not hers.

This is why I prefer courtships longer than 1 year as one gets to see his/her partner's true character. The veil of pretense can't hold up that long.

[quote author=Okon.akpan]She threatened divorce not long ago. I think she is fed up with our marriage cos she is not having her way as she wants. There is always quarrel whenever things are not done her way cos she want to be in control.[/quote]Hold on, lemme get this straight...you want the op to hand over his position as the head of the house to his nagging wife? Haba! Do that and he'll lose the respect of his wife. I'm all for him having a heart-2-heart talk with his wife in order to identify the underlying causes of their marital issues, and resolve them peacefully. But he is the man of the house, and must assert his control over his household, not the other way round.

talktimi: Dude, did you read the part where he wrote that those under federal line in PH have very stable power supply ? I'm in ph most times of the year and I stay at D/line axis our light is very steady there, hopefully when Amaechi rounds up his power roadmap the situation will improve considerably. I know the agip axis has improved from 2011 and last year and iwofe side has also improved but there is power rationing. So chill this is no scam except you just like the word

I case my rest.

thegoodjoehunt: Please what does she mean by highly any investment. What have they done with about 10 times more money than the Military?

Power generation has always hovered around 3000 something megawatts even before GEJ

Power generation is presently @ 3800 megawatt.

Point of correction- power was NEVER close to 3000MW prior to the GEJ administration. I seriously doubt it even got to 2500MW. Yet its under the current administration that it peaked at 4500MW.

thegoodjoehunt: What is proof. The areas I listed are in total darkness, why other areas are getting regular supply. That is not improving power, that is a scam.

You claimed that the areas mentioned were totally cut off in favour of other areas in PHC. So once again, do you have any solid proof to support your claim?

And pls don't present the lack of light as proof.

musiwa23: first of all if you are doing this because of vice president or if she can be president. it is not possible in nigeria.. This is the end of her career in Nigeria politics.. If you do not know nigeria politics.. It is not possible for an igbo person to replace Goodluck in Nigeria..
If that happen nigeria will go to civil war.. it is an issue of respect.

Let me help you out..

Yar adua Hausa/fulani
Jonathan Igbo

Uhmmm...bros,...GEJ is not Igbo, but Ijaw.

honeric01: Where do you get 20 hrs power daily? Please state the state, city and lg for verification purpose. I care more about power.

Jalingo, Taraba state enjoys close to 24hrs of light. Same witg the much larger YOLA, Adamawa state.

thegoodjoehunt: Please the areas I am talking about is very big. From Rumuola, to Rumukwuta, to Mgbougba, to Rumuoghaholu, to Rumudomaya. Iwofe is also in total darkness and you are saying transformer. Isn't that a joke. These areas have been cut off for close to Two years now. Please it is just a scam.

No area in PHC has been cut off from the grid. Or do you have any proof that supports your claim? As someone earlier mentioned, you need to check your area's distribution transformer. Keep in mind that I also leave in PHC and I know for a fact that consumers connected to the Federal distribution line enjoy way more hours of light than those of us connected to the state distribution line.

The gathering of the sour losers. Sorry folks, there's no vacancy at Aso-Rocks. Come 2015, your crying general's tear glands will dry up fully, and the drug pusher may overdose on his favourite white powder cos of the collective ass-whooping both men and their APC creation will receive .

I'm not a fan of smoking cos of the health issues. But I don't see nothing with her puffing on a cigar. Smoki g is not a crime, and she is obviously an adult. So how is this anyone's damn business?

liberty300: I stay in enugu and I say, yes, power has improved. She is a patriotic nigerian and defends nigeria's and nigerian interest. She told no lie in that interview she granted. If she did, pls point it out..

Bros, please don't even bother asking that Tnubu's Chiuwawah/resident NL NURTW e-agbero. He knows that our Finance minister spoke the truth during that interview. But as long as GEJ's administration remains, that A.C.N slowpoke while never see anything good in GEJ and his team.

Obiagelli: Guy did you hear buhari will contest in 2015, your days are numbered

Actually Buhari' s announcement justmade things waaay too easy for GEJ. Your general go cry tire . But hey, thanks buhari.

miccodb: vote wisely! u vote GEJ peepo will keep dying; u vote buhari killings will stop.
pls what advantage does GEJ promise over Buhari? GEJ has had his chance and has performed below par.

Vote Buhari, and the killing will stop?! Are you freaking crazy?! The very same man whose statement led to the cold blooded murders and senseless violence that followed the last election process that was peaceful and fair, cos he was a freaking sour loser?! HELL NO!!!

My vote goes to GEJ again. Take your campaign to some almajiri.

This is the same old fool whose statement after the last elections (one of Nigeria's best and fairest) and his subsequent silence incited riots across the northern states that led to the loss of Christian lives and the wanton destruction of properties. This old clown deserves to be locked up, not given a presidential running ticket.

And whoever lobbies/campaigns for this old fool is way more stupid.

LOl!! Excellent responses from the presidency!

Whether A.C.N likes it or not, the visit of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and C-in-C to Lagos state takes priority over some bloody convention. Tell Tinubu to postpone tge darn convention.

Impressive. Besides, cars are not assets but liabilities. I'll invest in assets like real estate.

[quote author=FBI/CIA]No panic! We are on top of the situation and we assure you that everybody involved in this bombing will Be arrested, we have a covert operation going on, I wish I could tell you more but I can't its a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY God bless America![/quote]You have an ongoing COVERT ops, yet you announce it on a PUBLIC domain....huh..

If it was a miniaturised/briefcase nuke, the death may wuldve been higher, and emergency services wouldve evacuated everyon 'cos of radiation fallout/poisoning.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]How weird that this is happening on the day North Korea is celebrating their Founder's birthday , yet no rocket went of in North Korea but bombs going off in the US Could this be the small miniaturized nuclear bomb they were referring to?[/quote]Do you really think people will still be around that area if it was a nuke?

EPOMA: I believe you are one of his kidnappers

Oh, I get it! Your one of those very few Ibibios jealous that an Annang son has outperformed that old fool called Attah. Eya.....kpe. Abeg go and boil stone to cure your jealousy, or better still go jump off Itu bridge. Buffoon.

EPOMA: Most of the pictures comes from Le meridian hotel and projects done by Attah and you want to tell me this is worth the 1.5 trillion naira he has collected . I Godswill like one day he will be exposed of all his fraud. Buying all the press and people.

You, sir, are a confirmed buffoon. What project did that useless man Attah complete? Do you even have any freaking idea the level of under-development after Attah 8-year tenure? The only access road to Uyo from Abak was filled with so many potholes......sorry, fishponds, that it took a day longer period to drive down to the capital. Outside the capitall the Abak-ikot ekpene wasn't only filled with potholes, but almost cut in half by erosion. And Etim Kpo road? Well, let's just say it wouldve damaged a good SUV. Even the Le Meridiene wasn't even completed by Attah, but Akpabio. So don't you dare come here and spill trash about Akpabio, a man who who basically lifted a state from its former village-status to one of Nigeria's best destinations.

tunde300us: I hear people say akpabio built the airport and bla bla bla.That airport was 70% completed when akpabio took govt and for ur info there is no 24/7 power in any state of Nigeria,even aso rock no get am.
U see roads and no cars on them and you are comparing it with lagos,if the amount of vehicles that pass through oshodi alone passes through those roads am telling you in 6 months you will be cursing this same akpabio.
As much as i concede to the fact that uyo is taking shape, i think the comparism to other states like lagos,cross rivers etc is not needed because the comparism is just not there.

Abeg correct yourself. What 70% percent of the airport was completed before Akpabio? Akpabio built the terminal, the runway and taxiways, the massive MRO facility, the control tower, installed all the navigational aids, built additional administrative buildings, the access roads to the airport. And you have the audacity to say he already met 70% of the project already completed?! Haba! Stop peddling lies here.

Even with the temporary system failure (whose cause has already been identified) and the subsequent drop in power generated, the current power level is still higher than that generated by previous administrations. So yeah, all ye lovers of misfortunes, keep having hard-ons over temporary setbacks. But it still won't change the fact that GEJ's responsible for the positive changes in the power sector, and this is just the beginning of great things to come.

Eko Ile: 1. Due process and constitutional obligations demands that the federal government fix their roads . Their inability and incompetency to carry out their due process cost the people of ogun lives and economic loss, but you are not worried about the lack of that due process because you are mentally incompetent like the people you are defending.

2. You can about that due process rubbish till eternity, it means nothing until you show me proof that ogun state did not ask for one before touching that road. You are just assuming that they did not.

3 Feurthermore, I've provided proof that even in cases where permission was requested and granted, the federal government still show up to obstruct regardless so your due process noise remains redundant and mute.


4. The only thing I'm getting from you people with your due process rubbish is the fact that you are all lazy, incompetent and.corrupt like the federal government.


5. You are also obviously from states where the governors are weak, lazy, lacks initiative and incompetent.

Like I said, I'm not on your useless and incompetent side so take your dumb hypocritical due process rubbish elsewhere.

lol apabio. Apabio is PDPand gejs lapdog and he can do whatever he want to any federal property in his state. .Smh...

I see that you've resorted to insults. It's all good. Well, Amosun and everyother A.C.N lapdog/chiuwawa + resident NURTW e-agbero on nairaland like you can bark all they want. But it still won't change anything. Follow due process and you'll be fine. Else shut the Bleep up and go shove your rants up where the sun doesn't shine.
