Last week Transparency International. Transparency International (TI), a global coalition fighting against corruption has stated that Nigeria’s political parties are the most corrupt in the world.

The TI’s judgment on Nigeria’s political parties was made in a graph that was published on its Twitter account.

In a graph titled: “Where most people think political parties are corrupt” Nigeria ranked number one with 94 per cent leading the way for nation’s with corrupt political parties in the world. Nigeria’s leading political parties are the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and both are expected to go head-to-head in the forthcoming general elections.

On the graph, Nigeria is followed by Mexico and Cyprus both with 91 per cent. Nepal and Greece are placed third with 90 per cent each while Italy is fourth with 89 per cent.

In Africa, only Nigeria’s political parties ranked amongst the top 11.

Do you agree or disagree and why?

angelawoko:

F00l , he is not losing money. At N1000 he will still be making profit. He simply chose to reduce his profit to help the masses. Afterall, he is already a very wealthy man.
Cement in Nigeria is outrageously overpriced. Their major excuse has always been the cost of powering the plants. We expect the price to even fall further once the power situation and reforms,thanks to GEJ, translates into improved power supply. That a company reduces it's prices does not mean it's making losses.

I v alway§ bin expecting d price of Cement 2 fall cos diaris no way local production will exceed local demand n local price will nt fall, Dangote is simply a businessman dat knoz wot 2 do per time. Survival of d fittest is d name of d game it use 2 b 50 naira per minute call bt now wt cloz 2 200million lines as a network provider if u must survive u v 2 drop ur price I c d price still goin down cos oda competitors will v 2 react mind u wen supply is higher dan demand its natural 4 price 2 fall. Mind u nigeria no longer import cement rada we export cement 2 oda african countries I go still wait small till june 2015 by den d price fit don fall 2 500naira

eaglewingz:


Thank you, people with little knowledge of history will come and say buhari did this and this during his regime when he actually did nothing. Idiagbon was the one actually pulling all the strings in that regime and that was why Babaginda was able to overthrow buhari when Idiagbon was out of the country.


Don't decieve yourself, buhari has no good moral stand,they try to make us believe that he was the one that fought corruption in his regime but the fact remains that Idiagbon was the chief actor in that campaign and buhari was just a figure head.

Moral stand my foot. what happened when he was PTF chairman?

what moral stand I totally dis agree wt dat he has moral stand n locked up ppl like Ekwueme, Jakonde even Awo, all in d name of coroption, overthrow a legitimate govt detained Shagari by himself even against court judgement abeg make I hear wod he's d wickest leader in d history of dis nation dat we v ever had because as a military man he was overthrown wtout shootin a bullet in his hometown dis man wick die

tit: Some of you as so dumb!

Saying BH is funded from outside does not foreclose internal funding.
Nigeria can take care of the internal sponsors of BH.
For the external sponsors, Nigeria needs the help of other countries and multi-national organizations.

Some of you need to revisit your logic text books.
10 months > 3 months!

. GEJ said dat "BH r sponsored LARGELY 4rm outside" doesn't rule out d internal sponsors. If u check d kind of ammunitions dy v even some national armies don't v it. U can't even v doz ammunitions wtout foreign colabo its nt possible Ofcos its only an ignoramus dat will believe dat dy r nt heavily funded outside d shores of our country

U min dy walked out of d house proceedings because of what? Dy shud resign from d house den 2 proof dat dy don't want 2 be part of corruption or GO N DIE

Chelsea has only 6 regular playas oda players r bin rotated accordin 2 d match plan Obi is nt a bench warmer he has proven himself well in his club survived ova 7 coaches hu r among d best in d world, if he is nt important in his club dy wud v sold or loaned him out bt rada his income has increased greatly. Mind u, outside JT, Lampard,Chek n mayb Asheley Cole I don't think ders any playa in Chelsea dat has played more dan Obi. If he doesn't deserve AFOY is it drogba dat deserve it or yaya toure. Wer was yaya toure wen supa eagles defeated d elephants go n review dat match yaya wasn't a match 2 Obi. Its true dat prophets r nt honod in der place. Obi deserve it joor! He has won d UEFA champions cup, Europa cup, Nations cup so he is more decorated 2 win d AFOY

Dis is a song dat wen we sing n hear always will awoken d giant in us, streengthen our unity, patrotism n love 4 our nation. Dis wot will take us 2 our greatness. One day, we will all sing dis song 2geda as a nation celebrating GOD's gudness n HIS fulfilment of in our nation. GOD bless 9ga

OPINION: WHY THE FG DOESN’T TRUST AMAECHI’S WATER PROJECT
Posted by: THEWILL_ Posted date: December 27, 2013 In: Opinion

The recent lamentation by the governor of Rivers state over the World Bank/ADB loan ‘non-approval’ or delay by the Federal Government smacks of bluff, subterfuge, and depicts the extreme political chicanery that has invaded governance, at the expense of citizens. It has become a direct blackmail, as if a Guarantor is simply an insignificant signatory to the ADB loan agreement.

Banks will always advice that is dangerous to recommend anyone who you do not trust. Being a Guarantor to a World Bank/ADB loan is even more dangerous. The penalties of failure in performance or payments is stiff not just for the Borrower, but also the Guarantor, especially, if the Guarantor is a member state, and it is all clearly stated in Section 10 of the General Conditions Applicable to the African Development Bank, Loan Agreements and Guarantee Agreements (Non Sovereign Entities) document.

Every responsible government will first of all profile the Borrower’s performance in major collaborative projects like PPPs, and the Borrower’s project management capacity. The will to commence a project is never enough, what counts to a Guarantor is the ‘capacity’ to comply with the terms of the loan agreement, and to perform and deliver as agreed. The Federal Government is right to have hesitated, because an analysis of major projects undertaken by the Rivers state government calls for gradualism in the Guarantor’s approval process.

The $150m Mega Specialist Hospital project turned out to be a scam. The government doesn’t even talk about it these days. On September 29, 2009, the governor said “the Justice Karibi Whyte Mega Specialist Hospital has been designed to make Rivers State the number one Medical Tourism destination in Africa. It would have a leisure arm that would make it a major tourist attraction.” He promised it would be completed by December, 2011. This project is in collaboration with Clinotech Canada. The project is nowhere, as I write.

The $318m Mega Monorail project is another. This perhaps will go down in the history of the Southern Nigeria as the biggest white elephant project ever. As early as September, 2010, the governor had doled out N11b for the project. The governor assured that the monorail, not the entire project, not the phase 1, but the phase 1A will be completed by December 2013. After four years of award, less than 25% of the project has been achieved. The governor promised his people that “that the monorail would be the first of its kind in West Africa, and will be developed for mass transportation within the Port Harcourt metropolis, decongest roads in the city, and create job opportunities.” The project failed!

The Rivers state government has not been completely honest with the FG and the World Bank/ADB.

The state government has barely met the conditions set by the World Bank.

The State Ministry of Water Resources developed a Water Master Plan for Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpo. The design was concluded since 2011. Thereafter, the governor promised to release N5billion available for the first phase of the project, nothing happened. Much later, the governor reneged, and decided to adopt the Cross River state model.

They began the chase for $200m World Bank/ADB loan.

The State Water Board has been without form. The World Bank/ADB listed conditions for the loan. Amongst which is that a reform must be undertaken to create an autonomous agency that will have its own board of directors and a finance management framework that is independent.

The governor directed the speaker to pass a bill for the creation of the Port Harcourt Water Corporation, Rivers State Small Towns Water Agency, and the Rivers Water Regulatory Agency. The bill was signed on the 30th day of May , 2012. Since then, like every other bill passed by the rubber stamp Assembly of the state, it has remained just a documentation. Only a bill board exists at the Rumuola Water station in Port Harcourt.

The Rivers State Ministry of Water Resources has since advertised vacancies in these ‘demo’ agencies in national dailies. Of course, these advertisements were also included in the documentation to the World Bank. But if you were one of those who applied, Sorry! Nothing is happening. It is all deceit. No such agencies exist in the state. Therefore, the most fundamental condition given by the World Bank/ADB has not been met. No Board, no management, no organization, no structure. Rivers state has not met any of these conditions.

The Amaechi administration is desperate for the World Bank loan because it provided zero allocation for Water in the state 2013 budget. Consequently, all water stations in Rivers state are grounded as I write. Would any responsible government allow things to get this bad because they are waiting for a loan?

Now, for any loan to a state/state agency to get the final nod of the World Bank/ADB, a key condition is that the national government – in this case the FG – must act as a guarantor. Considering the record of the Rivers state government in collaborative ventures like the few projects listed above, would you recommend that the FG guarantee a $200m loan to a government that has been unable to deliver on any major project? The Guarantor is as liable as the borrower.

The problem is not Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, the problem is Gov. Amaechi’s government. They could not deliver on the $150m Mega Specialist Hospital; they could not deliver on the $315m Mega Monorail Project. How can he deliver on this?

It is well wt my business![color=#990000][/color]

Gaggi: We don't need a national carrier. We are not capable of maintaing such a grandiose project. Spend the money on power and roads. This country always takes delight in misplaced priorities.

get it ryt fg is completely out of it its bin run n managed by d private sector

I strongly believe its a gud 1 d chinis r nt givin moni rada dy r givin project n we can't b indebted if d projects r nt fisicali on ground. N we shud note dat dis projects will definitely pay back d loan itself n ofcos china no b fada xmas so dy r investin d fund wt 3% n also dy r executin d job. It is mutual benefit. No free fund anywer bt I think its d best 4 us 4 nau no moni 2 steal. Dem dei still project?
