olaheavy: The only area of this new traffic law that needs to be amended is the 'no smoking while driving' part. I think they need to expand it to no text-messaging, talking on phone, using a Black Berry or any other gadgets, no giving or receiving of bj and no eating while driving. That's all. As for those that are complaining, you're right most of them are Igbos from the East. So, they neeed to get the hell out of our Yorubaland if they can't abide by our rules..

sessydoo: Na wa ooo, to think that some people are standing for these thieves in Govt (NOI inclusive) is sad. What has she achieved so far as the Coordinating Minister of the economy? Who are the members of her Coordinating team? Rogues and thieves, pls check it up. How has NOI policy affected the masses? more hardship, approving all the lootings,fraudulent buy over of banks in collaboration wt SLS, no food, no roads, no jobs, no light, no security and the joker wanted to lead world bank...on which credential if i may ask. Honestly this country is a big joke and i fear for the unborn generation. Let all their paid agents on the internet be drumming up support for them, a day of reckoning is fast approaching when the poor will have nothing to eat BUT the rich

flexya: Its obvious none of the commentators av worked in govt and don't understand some points. Before any money can be released 2 a contractor, the Minister needs 2 be "settled" ie the contractor needs 2 go thru due process. NOI needs 2 space some of these settlements over a period 2 avoid suspicion from EFCC ie give them a cut. Secondly, she also needs 2 "vet" the contractors afterall, she can't be seen 2 be demandin documents (ie money) from certain companies. The person who drew a comparison wit lagos was only half right. Before the contract is awarded in Lagos, the contractor who av shown all his "papers" 2 Asiwaju andgone thru due process. This helps speed up release of funds once its awarded. So u think NOI will just sign releases for Billions just 2 aid development? Is she there for development or herself first? When she leaves the post, she (and the rest of the country) expects her and her next two generations 2 live in opulence. Hate it or like it, its reality. Now don't shoot me, I am only a messanger wit some insight into govt operations. If we want things changed, we must rise up as a unit (not sit as armchair critics) OR pray for soldiers!

Klinee: Okonjo lacks competent.consider her what she have done since when she is minister.intense of oil subsidy,by her statement she said that she is removing the subsidy for benefit of common nigeria and also the irregularity and currption in process.that the money will channel to development of infrastruture,poor alieviation and to concrete our economy. yes.now question, all this have she achieved it?that she is an economist from u.s.a. dosnt make her capable of handling nigeria economy.that she is applauded by intnational community as economic magician dosnt make her competent in nigeria economy.she remove subsidy so as to have enough money for them to embazle.if there is corruption in the tenure of the oil subsidy no problem cos common man benefit from it.also it help to control influation rate and poverty.now it have been removed influation rate increased,poverty rate increased,corruption rate also increased what benefit again,no. She fail us period.she should be sacƙ simple.

Johndoe100: [size=14pt]Why is kobojunkie so so desperate for a negative situation? She is an example of what happens to haters when facts on the ground prove them wrong. She still believes that there are fuel ques and shortages in Nigeria weekly. [/size]

chucky234: Reduced spending?,find out how much Jonathan still take home annually after the reduction then compare that to the earning table I posted above.

chucky234: For a president who receives N1bn annually as food allowance he certainly has no excuse to why he cannot achieve anything meaningful in 24 months.

I am waiting for the deluded DEDEIKE to prove the below wrong and tell me why the most expensive govt in the world should be applauded by mere maintenace projects which 50% was initiated by past administrations.

NIGERIAN SENATORS
Basic Salary (BS) = N2,484,245.50
Hardship Allowanc: 50% of Basic Salary = N1,242,122.75
Constituency allowance: 200% of BS = N4,968,509.00
Furniture Allowance: 300% of BS =
N7,452,736.50
Newspaper allowance: 50% =
N1,242,122.70
Wardrobe allowance: 25% = N621,061.37
Recess Allowance: 10% = N248,424.55
Accommodation: 200% = N4,968,509.00
Utilities: 30% = N828,081.83
Domestic Staff: 35% = N863,184.12
Entertainment: 30% = N828,081.83
Personal Assistance: 25% = N621,061.37
Vehicle Maintenance Allowance: 75% = N1,863,184.12
Leave Allowance : 10% =N248,424.55
One off payments (Severance gratuity): 300% = N7,452,736.50
Motor Vehicle Allowance: 400% of BS = N9,936,982.00
Total per month = N29, 479, 749.00
A senator's anual salary = over N182
million multiply by 109 senators (don't forget the House of rep, ministers, ambassadors, ...)
In addition to the regular and
legitimate salaries and allowances of
over N17 million ($113,333) and
N14.99 million ($99,933) which
senators and reps were collecting
yearly and the irregular allowance of
estacodes, duty tours etc, they were
also collecting over N192m ($1.28m)
and N140m ($0.93m) respectively in
illicit quarterly allocation which is not
provided for by RMAFC.
Effectively, a Nigerian senator was
taking home at least $1.40m ($1.28m
quarterly allocations + $0.113m
regular salaries and allowances) as
against the $0.174m an American
senator takes home hence a Nigeria
senator earns at least 8 times as much as an American senator and more than 3 times the American president.
Whereas a Senator in the U.S earns
N21, 146,000, the same as a member
of the House of Representatives; a UK
Member of Parliament earn £64,766
(N14, 896,180) In other words, a Federal Legislator in Nigeria is paid more than double what a Member of British Parliament earns per annum.
Senate President David Mark alone
takes N250 million quarterly or N83.33 million per month.
Senate Deputy President Ike Ekweremadu gets N150 million per quarter or N50 million a month. Mark and Ekweremadu earns in 4 months, six times what the UK Prime Minister earns in a year. David Cameron goes home with £190,000 per anum (N43, 700,000) In a newspaper news article entitled ‘An Assembly for looting’ written by Musikilu Mojeed with Elor Nkereuwem, the authors rightly claimed that each of the 360 members of the House of Representatives were getting N35
million in cash money in quarterly
allocation while each of the 109
Senators pockets N48 million each.
These allocations have however been
slashed by 20% to N27 million ($
180,000) and N38 million ($253,333)
respectively due to the 20% reduction
requested by the late president.

Epalos: There are 150million others who have say and want the truth at all cost.

Eko Ile: ΔΔΔΔ. !what else is that worthless nuisance capable of doing apart from yelling lastma and nurtw? I ignore that piece of s,,hi,,t like a plague.

kingoflag: Um, actually its not just Nigeria that now despises her, but the whole world in General. Remember, the world'd rather give the Job of World Bank Chief to a Medical Practitioner than give it to her with all her Harvard degrees not too long ago?

Klinee: Dat she world class economist does not make her competent.she have fail us,consider the oil subsidy issue.Now she is lying with our economy.For me i hav'nt seen her capability.GEJ should stop taking her advice pls.

Biggyd2: So the Party Deceiving People doesn't have another job to give this man OBJ? Everyday we hear of what OBJ has said should happen in this country. Is this not the government that he indirectly gave to Nigerians, because according to him, winning for their party is a "do or die affair?' Even the evil genius himself has something to say about this country. Na wa o. If they can't respect themselves, why won't these men respect their old ages and KEEP QUIET! If we were living in a society were things works, these two should be in jail by now.

bjdon: This is a very codded message. If you read between the lines, this so called 'Joint statement' is nothing more, nothing less than the Green light to the Kahki boys to make their move. When the move is made the announcement will touch on the themes raised in this statement. 'National unity under threat' blah blah. Inserting Dasuki into NSA role. I don't see GEJ's administration lasting much longer.

jp philips: i love it when you concede to defeat at least you will look left and right next time you wanna eulogize jonathan with JP philips in the corner, no hard feelings bro!! he failed all of us.

jp philips: then advise the OP to remove achievement from the thread caption to; "TRIALS" of the jonathan's administration will be more appropriate. using that word "achievement" on jonathan is insulting to the god of "luck" that follows his destiny around.

gilgee: I am not trying to rubbish the achievements of His Excellency, but comparing his achievements with his promises and the 2012 budget.

I implore everyone (ProGEJ, ProPDP and anti-PDP/ Anti-GEJ) to desist from hurling insults at anyone including me. Though, I do not pay attention to insults, as they help to keep one's focus in check.

As citizens of this great country or any other, it is our responsibility to continuously evaluate the performances of those we voted into power to represent our general interest. It doesn't connote hatred as some would make it seem. Rather, it is an obligation on our part to always direct their footsteps, as they obviously have a lot to tackle. Thus, they sometimes deviate from norms defined by themselves either intentionally or unintentionally.



Finance:

a) I must commend the finance ministry and minister for the biometric evaluation exercise. It's long overdue and doesn't really appears as a great achievement, but of course, we must appreciate Mrs. NOI.

This exercise deserve a whole applause only if:

There's no case of fraud during the acquisition of required apparatus and inflation of costs during implementation and control of this exercise.

Therefore, stating this as a major achievement is a little too early, because we are yet to have a platform for statistical comparison of the pre-biometric-evaluation-pension-expenditures and the post-biometric-evaluation-pension-expenditures. So, on the long run, the basis of appreciation should be "Reduction of cost and subsequent pension fraud checkmated as a result of the biometric evaluation". There's got to be an evidence of performance from statical/numerical perspective.

b) $37 Billion Foreign Reserve- Great thing that our FR has increased; quite plausible.


Energy:

Audit- Auditing per say is not a complete act of transparency. It becomes so only if the audit records are made public in it's most comprehensive rawest form. However, kudos to the president for taking that initiative. Shows to some extent that he's interested in turning things around.

The Ministry Of Power had an allocation of 70,300,000,000 as capital for projects. Are there any factual records to show how much has been spent and how much is left? As at June (last month), Nigeria was generating ~ 4,000 MGW of power, with an actual capacity ~ 5,000 MGW. How much has been spent so far? Was the expenditure carried out without any form of embezzlement? Did His Excellency have his team audit or crosscheck the expenditure report?

Oil n Gas: The $4.5BN deal with Vulcan's quite an achievement. I give His Excellency 25% appreciation, and the remainder % would come if and when the subsidy criminals are thrown into jail; and when the refineries become operational.

Roads: The Ministry of Works got an allocation of N149,200,000,001. Comparing the available fund and the ongoing projects, you would find a great disparity. Current achievement's highly below par.

Transport: I do not have any empirical information to rebut or support the information provided by you. So, I pass for now.

Aviation: Comparison would be made on the basis of the infrastructure installed once the ongoing projects are completed. Allocated capital - 42,900,707,612. The airport buildings shouldn't look like a farm house….

Education: Building 9 new federal universities aint enough. Expanding the existing ones and standardizing the infrastructures for an improved education should be at the top of M.E's priorities. Building is not much of an achievement, though it counts as one. The major achievement is a continuously upgraded maintenance culture. Make world class educational facilities available, not just piling up bricks. I believe 55,056,589,805 is quite enough to achieve this.


On a scale of 10, I think GEJ deserves 4.5 for Project Proposals & Implementation and 2 for accountability and transparency.

texazzpete: I don't know about you, but I seem to recall MEND chieftains calling him a 'houseboy' during the Yar'Adua years

The MEND militants were ready to chop money from anyone...Northern or otherwise. To insinuate otherwise is just really really NAIVE!
