taharqa: You know I just confirmd? You are the biggest HYPOCRITE of dem all!! This shld be about d silliest responses I hv eva seen on NL. What is the meaning of 'if the output at the end of the yr does not measure up', as a response to my comment. Don't you hv any shame, and know when to stop foooling yrself. I am even beginning to feel ashamd of you..*smh*

Are you a human being to be reckon with if at all? Isn't your life summed up by the bag of rice and N1500 you got from last PDP party convention? Do I expect a goat to grow furr?..Absolutely not... so go siddon for one corner and continue to wallow in stupidity.

Is it not a know fact here on NL that you are a shameless human being who glory in lies and deceit? Do I expect you to grasp the economics of GDP and the likes? Absolutely not. That is why I will advice you to stick to the petty falsehood of junk information about mediocre projects by your god master GEJ that you have been trained for.

Vogue50: obviously there is need for the - "Good Governance Tour " - exercise to create awareness of What Government has done at State and federal levels ,what they intend doing and resources committed so far in the execution of said projects.
Moreover , it's not the entire ministry that embarks on the tour. The tour Team comprises of people from the ministry , civil society , media houses etc. The information minister , Labaran Maku , consulted the federal Government and the Governor's forum before embarking on the Good Governance Tour.
If Governor Adams claims that he has done tremendously well in developing his State , then he should allow the team visit and inspect projects .

The stupidity people like you exhibit here on NL baffles me for real! Good things they say sell itself. A government of crooks, who believe in mediocrity can only but jump from place to place exaggerating their achievements.

People go to or travel through Edo State and they see changes happening. When they get home, they spread the word about the changes they have seen. I do not need a stupid Minister to come tell me that changes are taking place in a state. During the days of Donald Duke, words of mouth sent the message far and wide that Calabar was being remodeled in beauty and people went there to see for themselves and confirmed the whole story.

Oshiomhole should send a Director in the Ministry of Information to receive the team when they arrive so that they get the message how unwelcome and very unimportant their mission to the state is. If anything, Edo State has Radio and Tv stations, AIT, SILVERBIRD, ITV, EBS, NTA, FRCN, etc. They have been broadcasting the government's success and failures for years and they will continue to do so.

GEJ's government is a government of the crooks, who believe in mediocrity.

taharqa: In other news, more Economic data (apart from the Economy expanding by 6.61% with GDP increasing from about $250bn to more than $270bn) indicates that: Nigeria receivd by far the highest FDI in Africa in 2011 at $8.9bn, and preliminary data indicates a significant increase in 2012, just as the total foreign inflow (FDI and odas) in January 2013 alone grew by 207% yr-on-yr; two of the world's Rating Agencies (S&P and Moody) raisd the nation's Sovereign Ratings TWICE in 2 yrs, same time they were downgrading the Ratings of sm advancd nations; Morgan Chase added Nigeria to its Debt market for the very 1st time indicating increasd confidence in the economy, just as Barclays is said to also do same by March dis yr and IFC 1st entrance to our market oversubscribed many times ova- all these hv attractd many players to Nigeria's money market like never b4, and are already leading to significant decreases in borrowing costs to about 4.39% for our dollar denominatd bonds and 10.79% for its naira equivalent (the lowest I think they hv eva bn); the Nigerian Stock Exchange in now in full recovery mode afta the 2009 crash by increasing by 37.4% in 2012 from 6.533trn to 8.974trn, making it one of the best performing in the world last yr, and increasing by about 16% already dis yr; the naira increasd by more than 3% and was the 2nd most performing currencies in Africa last yr; the Reserves increasd by more than 35% from about $33bn to about $44.5bn last year, and has already increasd by around 6% dis yr to about $47bn; and inflation rate that was stubborn at low double digits truout last yr has now come down to 9% in Jan from 12% in Dec yr-on-yr, etc, etc.......... Yea!! I can really see how the 'Economy is contracting' and the 'GDP decreasing', Or as one of dem Clown said, 'Nigeria is still in Recession'...

It shows you lack basic education and that is why you are a glorified thug for the PDP led government. If you like attract $1tn worth of investment, if the output at the end of the year does not measure up, its like pouring a tanker load of water in an empty basket... get it now?

Keep deceiving yourself with praise singing in the midst of mediocrity! The truth remains that the country is far less safe now than ever before and I do not need a South African to tell me otherwise..

Shine1177: I think you need a pair of glass or a tutor to let you know that institutionalising a law to take government to court by a citizen on such condition don't need the attention of the federal legislators but his State Assembly. The question is what move has Babangida Aliyu taken towards that direction in his State (Assembly)? Can't you see the handwriting on the wall that he meant to attack the Presidency and Senator David Mark serve him right.

Whether or not Aliyu is attacking the Presidency is not the issue for me, rather He has raised a vital question that NASS should look into! simples..

Shine1177: His vituperous this days is alarming, imagine he doesn't known that provision of water and amenities in his domain is his responsibility as a Governor and this guy is eyeing the presidency. SMH.

Maybe it is you that needs some education. Go back and read that article, or let me highlight it for you...

"Is it not possible also that in terms of water, agriculture, that we should be able to institutionalise by law, that people who do not get them can take government to court?,' Aliyu had asked at the top-level summit."

Does the tone of that poser come across like someone who does not know whose responsibility it is as stated in the law?

ROSSIKE: You're the one who is bamboozled by the antics of terrorists. The very idea of terrorism is to create an artificial climate of irrational fear. Fact is for all their antics, statistically, you are far more likely to be struck dead by lightning than to be a victim of Boko Haram. I repeat, the country was LESS SECURE in 2003 than it is today. Today Boko Haram drops a bomb that kills 30 people once every 3 months.

Around 2003, sectarian violence in places like Jos was claiming the lives of thousands, and the JTF was busy in the mini civil war that had erupted in the creeks. But in 2013 a BH bomb gets a lot of media attention, without being as casualty prone as the former. In fact between 1999 and 2004 over 10,000 Nigerians died in sectarian violence. That figure is a lot lot lower today, whether or not we have Boko Haram.

As for general security, I repeat, you must be blind, deaf and dumb if you cannot see that crimes like armed robbery have reduced drastically from those days, when the robbers used to send letters to whole neighbourhoods to warn of a visit!! And sure as hell on the appointed date they would be there, with police nowhere to be found!!!

Please stop this stupidity you are displaying! in 2003 was there kidnapping at the scale it is today? Was Abia, Enugu, a den of robbers and kidnappers? If Nigeria is more safer, tell GEJ to go visit maiduguri and Yobe States,

taharqa: Are you madt?? Dont you hv any shame at all? So you are still talking afta that comment by @Rossike... Opposition does not mean Fooolishness, na. Sm of you chaps DISGUST me at times, and significantly increases my passion for supporting GEJ...... Just imagine a literate using d words: 'GDP decreases..' and 'Economy Contracts..' , when presentd with dis statistical data, and still arguing. Omatshe oo...

Let me help you out, when something reduces from a height to much lower height, you say it has DECREASED. When an Economy that in all ramifications should be posting near double digits figures is showing a reduction, with the ordinary man on the street telling you things have gotten harder than previous years, it is a clear sign that the Economy is not growing as it should and there is a decline!

ROSSIKE: There is a popular saying that when in a hole, stop digging.

What do you think that graph you posted shows? You think it shows a declining GDP? A ''shrinking economy''?

You need to go back to school, or take a short online course in economics. You're clearly an economic illiterate. And talking garbled nonsense about ''we should be posting double digit growth figures'' is a none too smart diversion away from your failed point that GDP was ''falling''. We're not stup.id.

It is obvious that you were born average and believe in average hence you do not understand that in life you can stay afloat tops always! Given me just two reasons why Nigeria Economy should Shrink at all... I mean just two reason!

The fact remains that our GDP projection for 2012 was way higher than 6.61%, go back to 2005 and see projections for Nigeria. Keep deceiving yourself with 'phrases'. The obvious reality is GDP is your gross domestic output and when figures show your output has dropped, if means you are failing or have no met previous threshold and that is a FALL. Stop acting really stupid on NL. Being a lover on Nigeria does not mean you have to act stupidly

taharqa: Lol... Some people are just utterly pathetic to the point of actuali been Objects of Pity...... PITY

Shame don chat you..Olodo! Is it not obvious that the economy is in decline? from 7.43% to 6.61% thats a significant decrease by any means. If we go by that ratio, I know you are intellectually challenged, so I wont bother you what the reduction in percentages will be..

ROSSIKE: Poster, first off, your headline is grossly misleading to the point of embarrassment.

GDP did not ''decline''.

What happened is that an already fast GDP growth rate of 7.43% achieved in 2011 slowed to a still very fast GDP growth rate of 6.61%.

What the stats are saying is that Nigeria is sustaining fast GDP growth rate which was somewhat tempered by 0.68%. Many nations would kill to have a GDP growth rate of 6.61%, a figfure which still places Nigeria among the world's fastest growing economies.

You are a disgrace to Nigeria Educational system @ bold. 7.43% GDP is no where near the level you will call unsustainable. With other economies declining, we should be posting near double digits GDP figures. There is no way you will try to spin this, I am sorry. The events that befell 2012 in the country would clearly point to a possible decline in the GDP. Just have a look at the trend below.

Tell me, with a booming middle class, active work force, why can't we sustain a GDP of 7.4% or even 7% year on year? I do not know why you people are satisfied with mediocrity in that country

How Rosicky did not make the starting line up is beyond belief.. thats why WENGER MUST GO ...
