How Is Your State Governor Fighting Corruption? by Nobody: 6:09pm On May 02, 2013 |
I just dont understand why state governors are not also fighting corruption or why Nigerians dont demand that their state governors also fight corruption. As far as I know there is NO LAW prohibiting state governors from fighting corruption. Some people may ask how can state governors fight corruption. Well, there are several ways, including: 1 Firing of corrupt political appointees. If the state governors can hire, they can also fire. Unfortunately, reports of appointees of governors fired because of corruption are rare. Why? 2 Expose corrupt public officials in their states 3 Set up state anti-corruption agencies or departments. If state governors can set up LASTMA, LAWMA, etc why not anti-corruption agencies/departments. Such agencies may serve to expose or prevent corruption, or even prosecute if possible. If they cant prosecute they can hand over suspects and evidence to the police or EFCC 4 Transparency and due process. For instance, state governors can institute due process office and transparent processes for contract awards. They can also domesticate the freedom of information bill. In fact, there is so much state governors can do to curb corruption in their domains. If we say corruption is endemic in Nigeria, it means all hands must be on deck to curb it. Even as we demand that the federal govt do more to curb corruption, we should not forget our respective state governors. 9 Likes |

Prof Corruption:Stop being silly. When Fashola arrested a senior military officer that broke traffic law, he didn't take the military officer to GEJ. When your master Fashola collects monthly federal allocation, does he hand it over to GEJ? If Fashola is sensible enough to arrest traffic offenders and spend billions every month without help from GEJ, why would he hand over corrupt Lagos officials to GEJ? Are you suggesting that Fashola is so incompetent that he doesn't know what to do? If that's the case, I can give him some lesson for a fee. Anyway, I know you'r here to derail this thread as usual. It wont work this time. If you'r so empty that you have NOTHING meaningful to contribute to the TOPIC, you can disappear 8 Likes |

Egbo mi Racist, I agree with you we also need to beam more search-light on our State Govs especially on how they are reducing corruption in the system in their domains. We are currently focussing (too much) on your Master because the current Federal system we claim to be running is near-unitary where nearly all the instruments of law enforcement is controlled by the FG. Unfortunately, we have realised that the FG is too powerful that even if all the Govs decided to be incorruptible they still need to look up to Abuja to make it work. This is why many of us look up to President Jonathan to chat the course of fight against systemic corruption and it will be easier to start mounting pressure on our Govs to fall in line. 8 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: 1. You see how daft this fixation on Fasola is turning you to? Everything is Fasola this Fasola that, yet not a single word from me confirming or denying he's my governor. Stop your fixation on this man, you can't achieve much. What you are doing is tantamount to a Republican in US using all his might to fight in NY or CA, if there is any return at all it won't justify the investment. 2.There is no reason why Fasola should hand over his allocation to Federal government. If GEJ who pardoned criminals here and there to an extent that his anti corruption "war" is now a global laughing stock has not seen any reason to dole out his share, then why Fasola a renown and world acclaimed performer. If anything, we need Fasola to replace the man controlling the centre who has failed more than failure. 3.If Fasola and all other state governors embark on anti corruption drive, what becomes of EFCC and ICPC? Are you aware that EFCC was once the very fear of governors you are now recommending to be fighting corruption? Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu won a senatorial seat, abandoned it and fled to Brazil just to escape EFCC arrest. Fayose went underground for a whole year and Dariye simply disappeared. Alams was arrested, prosecuted and convicted only for your clueless, corrupt, daft and incompetent president to set back the hand of clock by dressing the pig in the robes of honour. Do you know EFCC arrested, disgraced and prosecuted the former IG of police-Tafa Balogun? Whatever your oga has done to EFCC must be reversed beacuse EFCC is now a shadow of it old self under the watch of retardeen. Pardoning corrupt elements, disgraced looters is to say the least demoralising to the efforts of folks who risked their lives to secure convictions of such unpatriotic elements. 4.Since you are a PDP apologist and your party controls the center, can you name just one governor in PDP who has a structure to fight corruption in his state. Just one governor! A governor with the equivalent of EFCC and the rest of your nonsensical policy you hype about. 5.Instead of your party to show good example, you folks continue to hobnob with convicted felons and criminals. IS Bode George, a convicted thief not a member of your board of trustees? If a Lagos indegene who is a renown criminal is dancing with the president in a show of shame, what do you want the governor to do? 12 Likes |

Prof Corruption: This is all you ACN kids are good at- making excuses for your masters. But when it comes to others they must do it or all hell will be let loose. This thread is about state governors and anti-corruption but all you'v succeeded in doing is to give 1000 reasons why your state governor cannot fight corruption. All of those reasons are porous. This is not about PDP, ACN or GEJ. But unfortunately, any topic that is mentioned on this platform must be politisized by ACN excited kids. The EFCC and ICPC did not fall from heaven. They were created by a certain govt of PDP, a party you'r fond of attacking. There's no reason why similar agency cannot be created by state governors. Replica of federal agencies and departments abound in state establishments. For instance, there is FRSC, a federal body and LASTMA, a state body- both doing similar things. State governors are not considering creating anti-corruption agencies because FOOLS like you shield them with your silly excuses. What stops state governors from enacting state version of freedom of information law? What stops state govt from creating due process office for contract awards? Dont states award contracts? Because you'v been blinded by partisan sentiments you think it is federal govt that'll solve all the problems- cloth you, marry wife for you, impregnate your wife, train your children,etc. You better perish such thoughts. Start demanding more from your state govt. Even if you been paid to attack GEJ every minute, on every thread, every day, sometimes COMMON SENSE should prevail. GEJ will serve his term and leave Aso Rock in 2019, irrespective of misplaced aggression from internet dogs like you And for the last time, stay on topic, stay focused. This thread is about state governors and anti-corruption. If you think your state governor cannot fight corruption but can collect billions every month, that is unfortunate. If you want to discuss FG or GEJ and anti-corruption or PDP chieftains create another thread. Seun did not bar you from creating thread like other normal persons. Again From my opening statement, there is nothing partisan about this thread. If I had wanted to make it partisan, I would have done that and by now you would have been SWEATING to defend your masters in Lagos. 7 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: So what are you making for your masters-the most corrupt president in the history of this Nigeria? One month, one scandal.There's a thread full of excuses on why 100000 mega watts is no longer achievable. He sets target for himself yet fails to meet same target. What's the excuse this time around for lagging behind? This thread is about state governors and anti-corruption but all you'v succeeded in doing is to give 1000 reasons why your state governor cannot fight corruption. All of those reasons are porous. This is not about PDP, ACN or GEJ. But unfortunately, any topic that is mentioned on this platform must be politisized by ACN excited kids. What a silly insincere9gerian! I said you should mention just one PDP governor who has all these "things" you are advocating for. Oh, when you said state governors, you meant Fasola. A PDP government led by a clueless president has just pardoned a disgraced thief. Is that not leading by example in a negative way? Talk, talk, no substance. Can't PDP lead for example for once? You talked of LASTMA, LAWMA etc. Were they established by PDP governors? If you don't know, those agencies were established by ACN in Lagos state. Just mention one PDP governor, just one who is working in line of your expectations in anti-corruption drive. I am waiting. What stops state governors from enacting state version of freedom of information law? What stops state govt from creating due process office for contract awards? Dont states award contracts?You may have to educate yourselves on the how law is applied in a democratic setting especially in a federation. Fool, laws passed by the federal parliament supersede state laws. A federal law has applicability throughout the federation while that of the state is only enforceable, provided is not against the constitution, within the state's jurisdiction. Now, tell me why must a state initiate any FOI bill when there is already a FOI law in the country? Are you this daft? State award contracts? Laughable! We can not all sleep and face the same direction, that's the essence of democracy. What works in Lagos might be an impediment to progress in Zamfara. What matters is the due adherent to constitutional provisions as regards management of finances. If anyone is found wanting, prosecute and jail. But what happens when you put all these due process in place and a thief is caught, prosecuted, jailed only to be pardoned by your daft, clueless and incompetent GEJ? Because you'v been blinded by partisan sentiments you think it is federal govt that'll solve all the problems- cloth you, marry wife for you, impregnate your wife, train your children,etc. You better perish such thoughts. Start demanding more from your state govt.So when you open all manner of threads on Fasola this, Fasola that without even opening one on any PDP governor, are you not being partisan? On this thread alone, guess the name of governor that has been tormenting you:Fasola. ![]() ![]() The job of the opposition is not spoon feed this clueless, moronic and utterly corrupt PDP administration. If you can not do the job, vacate the seat for the tested, trusted and competently capable hands to give this country the much needed progress we all desire. Even if you been paid to attack GEJ every minute, on every thread, every day, sometimes COMMON SENSE should prevail. GEJ will serve his term and leave Aso Rock in 2019, irrespective of misplaced aggression from internet dogs like you This is now ridiculous! You are a known worthless paid agent on Nairaland. You are paid per topic that's why you open topic every minute on Fasola, Fasola and when you are disgraced right left and center you open a thread like this to project a false sense of objectivity. But still, people are not deceived. Nigerian people will decide the fate of GEJ, not you, not me. But Nigerians are now aware he has failed in securing this nation, he has failed in combating corruption, he has failed in reducing unemployment, he has failed in living up to expectation of millions of Nigerians. 2011, majority of Nigerians freely gave him the mandate to rule for progress, for prosperity and for a peaceful, serene Nation. GEJ is now a disaster. He's a failure right, left and center to the extent that he has now hired all manners of never do wells like yourself to launder already rotten image online. Each of you is given licence to lie 247. That's why you lie right left and center without shame and conscience. Nigerians will not reward a failure. GEJ is on his way out. And for the last time, stay on topic, stay focused. This thread is about state governors and anti-corruption. If you think your state governor cannot fight corruption but can collect billions every month, that is unfortunate. If you want to discuss FG or GEJ and anti-corruption or PDP chieftains create another thread. Seun did not bar you from creating thread like other normal persons. If an unsuspecting fellow is reading this, s/he would think your governor is not only collecting the billions but also fighting corruption. Why can't you mention your state? What are you doing about your own state? Why the fixation on Lagos to the detriment of PDP states which should be your utmost importance? Are you from Lagos? There is nothing left to discuss about retardeen's effort in combating corruption because he has shown in action and deed that he is the corruption we should all fight. He dines and whines with Bode George, an ex-convict. True or False? He pardoned a disgraced looter, true or false? The looter is still wanted for crimes in UK-true or false? He does not give a damn about public declaration of asset-true or false? He collected a share in illegal Malabu oil slush fund-true or false? One month, one scandal. What a useless administration led by clueless Retardeen whose middle name is corruption! Again From my opening statement, there is nothing partisan about this thread. If I had wanted to make it partisan, I would have done that and by now you would have been SWEATING to defend your masters in Lagos. Bravo, clap for yourself! Do you know how many threads you have opened today alone struggling laboriously to defend your useless masters? For your information, I have not even opened one thread. Your lies have been exposed. You are now a laughing stock. But like I told you in a similar thread, enjoy your money but quit the foolery. Nothing lasts forever,including your licence to lie 247.

The reason is simple: they are all beneficiaries of corruption and does not care about its eradication. To be fair though i do not have the facts but it seems that corruption was recently exposed in contract award in Imo State. But it is not enough. FOI bill that gives civil societies teeth to fight corruption has not been domesticated in ANY State, including ACN, CPC, APGA and PDP States. Procurement process in ALL States are still handled in Governor's sitting room. Corruption is festering in ALL member states of the Federation, including massive corruption in State tertiary institutions, parents bribing invigilators to help their wards pass WASSCE,flowers planted with hundreds of millions, double invoicing of projects and nepotism heavily present in ALL states of the Federation. In Lagos for example, MTN cannot install mast even after acquiring lands from the rightful owners because of 'omo nile'. You cannot develop a property you acquired in PH and Lagos without paying heavily to area boys for 'daring to own a house'. Then if your car break down at some spots in Lagos at some ungodly hours, you may go home naked with your tires, car batteries and ALL easily extractable accessories gone. Pipelines are still broken while citizen watch. Steal my mobile phone and it is gone but try that with Aregbe's phone and get 45 years. I can go on. Corruption stares us in the face daily. The civil society does not care. Some of them even blackmail politicians with accusation of corruption. My greatest worry is how people are able to overlook ALL these going on around them to focus on GEJ's presidential pardon (while they themselves pardon corruption daily), as if they have done ALL to clean up their angle. What moral justification does a civil society in Lagos or Enugu or Kano to talk about contract inflation in Abuja when the mentioned states have not domesticated FOI bill? How can a national Assembly that fix her own salary accuse Presidency of abuse of powers? This is the problem. They are not really after corruption. They are after GEJ. If they are really after corruption, they will start from the one that happen around them. 3 Likes |
