1. He revived the integrated payroll and personal information system "IPPIS" in order to eliminate major avenues of corruption in the public sector.

2. He approved the sack of a judge, who upheld the results of a fraudulent election in Osun state, even though the judge's decision was in favour of his own party, the PDP.

3. He will not abuse his powers in order to appear tough on corruption. Jonathan believes that, following due process while fighting corruption strengthens our institutions.

4. With smart tweaks to administration (combined with the use of technology) he has decimated almost 4 decades of fertilizer subsidy fraud, saving N50 Billion in a single year.

5. Project "Aquilla" implemented under President Jonathan has helped reduce up to 20 million litres a day in "PMS" subsidy fraud by using technology to track the movement of petroleum products around Nigeria.

6. He granted the 'EFCC' independence from the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, in order to pursue corruption in the public sector without interference.

7. He approved the compulsory retirement of a judge who dismissed a grievous corruption case against a bank CEO, before taking the defendant's plea.

8. He has choosen to fight corruption with good strategies and diligence, and not brute force.

9. President Jonathan doesn't like to show-off because there's still alot more work to be done.

Be rest assured, President Jonathan is winning the war against corruption..... SAI Goodluck.

Because the president is now angry with his screw on media publicity of his achievements, some paid people would come and be pasting nonsense... What pains me most is dat these useless threads make front page to deceive Nigerians further. Can all these achievements be compared to the life of just one innocent victim from terrorist attack? Only this morning, I was thinking about the chibok girls... If one was your sister, would you have the guts to paste this nonsense...

#avoidselfishness... Vote out GEJ and cluelessness in 2015... Buhari is not the best candidate for sure but he is a better option for the salvation of Nigeria..

#IsupportGMB for change...

At the bolded: How do you contrast this with pipeline and water way security given to militants? Oil theft risen to record-breaking level. Militants buying military hardware for navy. Are all these "good strategies and diligence, and not brute force" in the battle against corruption? Did I talked about the unaccounted billions of dollars in NNPC and the government failure to publish the PWC report after 3 months?
Or are all these the result of people threats to make the country ungovernable?

Corruption: The word corrupt when used as an adjective literally means "utterly broken".[1] The word was first used by Aristotle and later by Cicero who added the terms bribe and abandonment of good habits.[2] Morris,[3] a professor of politics, writes that corruption is the illegitimate use of public power to benefit a private interest. Economist I. Senior[4] defines corruption as an action to (a) secretly provide (b) a good or a service to a third party (c) so that he or she can influence certain actions which (d) benefit the corrupt, a third party, or both (e) in which the corrupt agent has authority. Kauffman,[5] from the World Bank extends the concept to include 'legal corruption' in which power is abused within the confines of the law - as those with power often have the ability to shape the law for their protection.

The wrath of God shall reign upon you and your unborn generations.IJN.
The pain and agony bearing by the citizens will never allow you to rest IJN.
You asked for fire and it shall strike on you IJN.
The blood of the innocents will continue to hunt you and your wicked master IJN.
Statistically, Obasanjo left $45billions, increased to $60billions by Yar'du, your pay master lavished from $60bln to $2.4bln @ the moment.
You think u can be paid to deceive Nigerians again?
Capital NO!
Today is Sabbath day, All the causes in the Holy Bible shall be yours and the person you are canvassing for IJN.
citing just one instance of ur rants,u made mention of innocent blood..innocent blood shed by people who oppose true federalism,by people who oppose resource control and regionalism,people who have kept da pib bill pending till this day cos of a clause that allocates a mere 10% extra derivation fund to oil bearing areas,people who have virtually nothing to present at da table but want a larger chunk of other ppl's hardwork and resources,....ppl who want power back by all means even if it means shedding,according to u,innocent blood..
If u have been deceived and fallen prey to their gameplan to subtlely sabotage and frustrate the efforts of da hardworking president inorder to give him a bad name,thats ur cup of coffee..
U simply idle and lazy,like 'them' parasites n heaping ur woes n lifes failures on others.
Again ur post is laced with ur life's adjectives-curses-may heaven spare u of them and not heap them on u if i am a paid agent of gej or da pdp..

See lie...... Justice Ayo Salami was sacked after declaring Aregbesola the winner in Osun. We are not clueless here on NL. You failed to mention what he did about Missing 20billion dollors, Missing 50 billion naira SURE-P fund, squandered 55 billion dollars, the excess reserve which was raised by Yaradua and Obasanjo which Jonathan has drained from 65 billion dollars to 30 billions dollars. As corrupt Babangida was, he didn't touch the external reserve and excess crude oil. Bunch of clueless pigs

Even your master knows he has failed this country irrespective of insults he receives on daily basis. You better desist from deceiving people so as to make your daily bread 'cos I can say categorically that it's your lifestyle. I see no reason why you are crying foul 'cos I simply asked you a question and I'll ask you again.

I'm equally based in Atlanta GA. Check my previous posts for my cell number.
Nevertheless, I'll never be biased in any situation as far as my country is concerned. Nigeria is my beloved country even though I have dual citizenship. My country ppl 'll never suffer again in the hands of GEJ led government. The wind of change is already blowing in oncoming election.
