Politics › Re: Nigeria Seeks $1.5Billion From China For Rice, Cassava by taharqa: 3:11pm On Dec 07, 2012
For those who cant read or cant think for demselves: this is not yr conventional loaning process where the govt borrows money to do projects but a situatn where govt guarantees CHEAP credit to farmers and private investors in d Agric sector. Its similar to d local Agric Guarantee Scheme where d CBN guarantees single digit interest rates fund from conventional banks to farmers. Here, d FG is guarantee cheap CREDIT from international lending institutns (like China's EXIM bank, world bank and ADB) THROUGH Nigerian local banks (esp development banks like BOI and NEXIM) who can then lend to farmers and oda Agric investors at SINGLE INTEREST RATES using same stringent bank loaning procedures. In d case of d Chinese credit, d conditn bn that those investors that wud want to build Rice mills and Cassava flour processors wud hv to buy them from Chinese manufacturers instead say Western manufacturers....... Like i said previously: Great moves, Adesina

I THINK THIS PROMISE HV BEEN LARGELY FULFILLED, ESP ON THE SIDE OF THE FG. The FG promisd two things: they would assist the states govts to obtain the long buses (sm states govt hv already startd receiving this and deploying same as sm persons hv said here) AND they also promisd to help private Transport unions to import these buses at cheaper rates by such moves as removing import duties and VAT on importd buses and broken down components of long buses (that was done dis October)...

Demdem: The same MTN call log which the NJC had listened to and found Salami not culpable. Is there any other log that incriminates salami in ur possesion that hasnt been handed over to NJC? I dont care if salami is sack today but those that were suppose to investigate him and would probably lead to criminal prosecution says he has done nothing wrong. Why do u prefer to stick with Oyinlola's position that salami is guilty but ignore the NJC's position?
I hv told him to let dis rest, and am telling u d same tin...the NJC decision on d log was cos of d judiciary. Ask yrself what he was discussing with people whose case u are presiding (smthing that is not done in d judiciary) and why credible groups and individuals (myself inclusive) that were vehemently fighting for him initially hv eida publicly or discretely abandond him?.. Am not saying he did this or that wrong stuff, but there are certain he shldn't hv done and for d sake of judiciary we dont need to investigate furda into it since he has reportedly already decided to retire... Lets rest it

Gbawe: My guy, I have already put the 2012 TI rating to the logical test to show that our Nation is going down with how so many throw away the keys to their brain to begin celebrating abject failure. That is another sign of a failing state i.e citizens brainwashed to the extent of nauseating sycophancy that makes them see 'progress' when every sane and objective person sees anarchy and retrogression.

I am really disappointed with the Nigerians in regards to how their brand of partisanship is a variety that completely destroys even the simplest of logical inference. Usually, and throughout the world, normal citizens, for the sake of their Nation, are still able to call a spade a spade.

Hahahaha..lol. But is she wrong? We all askd for the cleanup of d subsidy payment scheme, verificatn of real subsidy claims and d prosecution of d thiefs. These are exactly what the govt is doing meticulously; and d main cause of d bottle-necks in supply cos ALL d marketers insistd that they wud not import (or that they wont be able to) cos of banks refusal to lend dem money, in a grand blackmail to force d govt to pay dem moni b4 verification (which failed); verificatn is finished now and sm of d marketers are bn paid now so they are expectd to start importing fuel.... Whateva spin PT usd in reporting dis and distorting her intentions is cos its d Propaganda mouthpiece of sm ppl, and shldn't be surprising

Prof Corruption: Why are you folks crucifying me? Politics is an expensive venture and that's not peculiar to Nigeria. Billions of dollars were spent on the recently concluded US elections. Nobody raised an eyebrow. Can you state what's wrong in spending funds on advertisement?

If a party stalwart mismanaged such money, it's was just normal that party faithful expressed disappointment the way they did.
Why dem dey crucify you? Cos u are a HYPOCRITE..... Hypocrite gan!

occam: Comparing 2 data points (last yr vs. this year) is not a trend. Let's see the next 4 - 5 yrs if our score continues to improve. That's how you judge improvement in transparency level. You want to celebrate the 27 score? go ahead, that's ok

The bolded: Now we know Nigeria is spending an obscene amount for feeding a corrupt govt machine. And even with the knowledge and acceptance that N 1 billion is too high, did Jonathan slash the feeding and other wasteful spending? And yet you accept corruption level is improving. Gee! The kool aid served by this govt is made of potent stuff
Una see anoda one? Bros did u get that info Gej spends #1billion to feed himself and dat he hasn't cut it? These are d sort of lies u guys say repeatedly... How can sm ppl bliv dier own lies, even afta repeating it

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]From 2.4 to 2.7 shows IMPROVEMENT. Arguing against data released by TI is hypocritical, it might also ßξ an indicator that some folks criticise not because they want the country to ßξ better, but because they are just being Partisan and tribalistic....

That said, I think there is still enormous work to ßξ done in tackling corruption in Nigeria. Corrupt elements must ßξ prosecuted and jailed. That will no doubt convince most pple that the govt is genuine in its Anti-Corruption fight...[/quote]Agree with every thing you said here...no doubt more needs doing; no doubts

occam: Holding bragging rights over countries like Eritrea, Somalia or Tajikistan is improvement? We're still neck and neck with Pakistan, a perennial offender and true symbol of corruption.

Ask Nigerians on the street if they believe the level of corruption has reduced compared to say 15 yrs ago. They'll tell you Same or getting worse. People only believe what they see. Everyday na the same thing: Corrupt politicians looting the treasury (on the rise); Custom officers exhorting money (still rising); Govt officials demanding bribes to provide service (still a way of life).

This improved ranking means nothing. Election is in 2 yrs time, so expect our ranking to fall in 2014/2015. And I'm sure you know why.
This is d most FOOOLISH comment here; well done. 'if you ask Nigerians they will tell u that corruptn is same or even worse dan 15yrs ago', *smh*. Who told does gullible Nigerians to think so (assuming it is even true) if not for the LIES and HALF-TRUTHS that goons like u churn out?

philips70: And you tell me what is there to commend when in the same year we have several cases of unresolved massive corruption like FAROUK, MANITOBA, ADOKE, etc all in the midst of a toothless anti-corruption agency who continue to advertize their inability to prosecute high level financial crimes for some very known reasons. Brother, tell yourself and your future generation the truth-No progress has been made so far and none in sight with the current lukewarm pattern of our current president who himself have been named in several of these cases.
See what we are just talking about? Peeps churning out stuffs from their ANUS and passing it off as 'gospel'. Plz Bros tell us about MANITOBA and ADOKE. What do they mean? Abeg be fast...
