This thread was inspired by my encounter with a cab driver today. I boarded a cab ... as the journey progressed. The driver started talking about how APC's buhari was the best thing for Nigeria. After spending few minutes with him in that cab discussing politics ... This guy moved from been a buhari supporter to undecided.

All I basically did was share with him my conviction on why I think Good luck deserves a second term.
The first thing any buhari supporter would do when they start engaging you is complain about Jonathan government. Their complains revolves around three key themes. They are a) Corruption b) Insecurity c) and the economy.

In the next couple of days I would be addressing each of these themes on separate threads as I try to share with you my personal conviction.
for today I would Start with Corruption

Tell them

My friend

SW wants power

But

This time

They will pay dearly if most of them take to the street against GEJ's re election

Space for any rejoinders.

This is from Curlieweed

Curlieweed:


Good, intelligent points as usual. However, you missed one key ingredient in GEJ's fight against corruption, the gradual institutionalization of free and fair elections. Under OBJokes, elections were charades and the "I" in INEC stood for anything but Independent. OBJ just designed election results and handed them to Iwuruwu to announce. The result was a clear lack of accountability across board, consequent bad governance and unchecked corruption.

Recent elections under Jonathan has demonstrated that this has changed. INEC Elections are now geometrically more credible and elected officials have the electorates (if they realize their power) to answer to and not some Dictator in the presidential palace.

I have said elsewhere that the fact that Apeeshit feel that they have a chance at winning the Val's day election is the greatest acknowledgement of the revolution Johnny Boy has quietly engineered in this country.

Dis election is gona be hot,,,even mad pple are discussing abt it

Nice one

Keep it up
GEj till buhari resigns from politics

lol


You understand the language of mad people

Buhari till GEJ admits that STEALING IS CORRUPTION



You talked about two main strategies of fighting corruption, Prevention and Prosecution. What's wrong in applying both simultaneously?



Have you won me over

Really he fought corruption,but tell me how he fought this cases
“1)what happened to the case of N104m seized from
Nancy Ebere Nwosu who allegedly swore to an
affidavit to the EFCC that she was laundering money
for Dame Patience Jonathan.”
2)“the
announcement by the then EFCC spokesman, Mr Osita
Nwajah on September 11, 2006 that the sum of
USD13.5 million was seized from another associate of
Mrs. Jonathan which the anti-graft body said
belonged to the now first lady.”
3)“who
presided over the FEC meeting on October 2009,
where a 4 km runway at Abuja Airport was awarded for
N64bn? Whereas, late President Yar’adua was already
in Saudi Hospital as at that time
4)what happened to the
USD30billion Yar’adua left in the excess crude account
that is virtually empty now?


if you can tell me how he fought those,I may join your team of lie.

good morning friend

good morning friend

I need fact and links to support your allegations. Then I would respond to them.

Secondly Holatin I would like to ask you to ask you have you asked Fashola why he is yet to domesticate the freedom of information bill.

Have you won me over

If you read my post you would discover that he is implementing both strategies. Case in point is the fact that under 3years EFCC handle over 427 case. This is an excerpt from my above post.

Matthewbriggs:

In terms of prosecuting corruption ... GEJ has faced serious setback that is why he once made a statement that going forward he and his team will draft a strategy to tackle corruption.

Therein lies the back bone of the matter, Going forward if GEJ wins he needs to [b]design a robust strategy on corruption one ... It is also important he communicates his stance on corruption clearly and most importantly his resolve to get rid of this panacea from Nigeria. [/b]

You didnt win any man over, stop deceiving yourself.

APC rep in person of Abike Dabiri spearheaded the FOI bill.

Ekiti State, a former APC state under Kayode Fayemi was the first state to domesticate FOI act.

The failures of the current day govt were not even unravelled by FOI anyway, i am certain if more Nigerians tap in to the FOI act, more rot will be revealed.

A party whose National Leader is retired drug Baron is not the entity that will lead Nigeria to the promise Land!

While Buhari was Killing people using a Backdated Law Tinubu was Busy selling heroine and cocaine in the US!
Now they want us to Belive they are they change we need How?

What Hope does young people have under the APC

They have an opportunity to appoint or elect a Young National chairman they. Choosed a 76 year old Great Grand Father

A Golden opportunity came to present a Young presidential aspirant they rigged it in favour of a 73 year old

NOT done the allotted the Vice presidential Candidate slot to a drug Baron who appointed a stooge who is anything but young!

Even the traditional National Youth leadership of the Party reserved for young people was taken away from them and given to a 52 year old former HOR aspirant!

Young People have No future Under APC!, the Youngest Governorship Candidates are in the PDP, Nasko and Udom two young men with a lot of promise!

The National youth Leader of the PDP was elected at 30 the minister of Foreign affairs is less than 35 !

Governance in the 21 st century will be driven by information Technology Placing analogue politicians to manage a world that is increasing driven by the adoption of broadband is a Mistake young Nigerians must not make Come Feb 14

May God Help us to Vote wisely

As a matter of Fact Prosecuting has not worked whether under OBJ or Yar'adua

'The blind man in the Bible said. I was blind now I can see.' We don't see government's money before now we can see it in our roads, rails, new univrsities, bridges, improved power supply etc what else do ordinary Nigerians ask for?

*nails my seat to this spot with 18 inches nail*..

This space is not for sale, lease or passing by!

Trespassers will be shot.. Survivors will be shot again

I can count many times I've engaged commuters in political discourse especially with ibos. I have convinced many of them on why they should vote for Buhari. I was able to persuade some of them successfully while the adamant ones prefer not to vote for any candidate. So what ya saying?

This is time wasting.. Nothing to defend. Discuss your topic leave APC and Fasola out of your post. Defend GEJ.

I just keep laughing when gej supporters mention fertilizer as the only example for gej's corruption fight. How many % of our budget/expenses goes into fertilizer? It took gej 5yrs to fix fertilizer, when are we going to fix corruption in our agric research Institute? Tell me one of the over 50 research Institutes in Nigeria that is functional.

How about corruption in the ban on importation certain agric products? These contrabans still flood our markets.

How about corruption in the management of our forest reserves, the massive illegal felling of timber.

Note that i have not even left the agric sector.

Now to fertilizer, even though i am a poultry farmer, i have applied for fertilizer from the ministry of agric for the empty land on my farm, i am yet to receive response, i know for a fact that the wrong type of fertilizer are even given for the wrong type of crops as we speak.

RESULTS:

Can anyone tell us the positive results of the successes of the agriculture sector, i am talking down to the layman results not cooked up data.

How come food prices are rising, same thing for feed crops, how do we explain shortages in soya beans supply for instance.

Are you saying pardoning his certified corrupt god father -"Alam" is a preventive strategy of fighting corruption?.
You must be kidding!

That is part of the irony ... an APC rep sponsored a bill that is yet to be accepted broadly by your political party. He that comes to equity should come with clean hands.

At second bolded that is why I would vote for GEJ. He signed a bill that would allow Nigerians the power to see more rot in the system and hold their government accountable.

Do you know that The House had first passed the Bill in 2006, followed by the Senate but former President Olusegun Obasanjo refused to append his signature to turn it into an Act. All but one (Clause 18) of the 34 clauses in the bill were passed by the House under GEJ.

During my search for other primary evidence on this
matter, I stumbled on a case with a suit number
FHC/ABJ/M/340/06, filed on August 21, 2007 at the
Federal High Court, Abuja. As indicated in this file,
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s -led EFCC named Mrs.
Patience Jonathan, wife of Goodluck Jonathan, as an
accomplice in the N104million money laundering
case involving one Mrs. Nancy Ebere Nwosu. The
amount in question was stated in this file to be
laundered on the order of Mrs Patience Goodluck into
a First Bank of Nigeria account number
3292010060711 held in the name of Nansolyvan
Public Relations Limited by one Hanner Offor.
Still not satisfied with this new primary source on
the issue at hand, further effort was exerted to dig
into the archive. Again, we (with help from an NGO)
stumbled on the EFFC’s affidavit used in supporting
the above mentioned suit’s originating summons.
In this document, Ofem Uket, the then EFCC
prosecuting officer declared, “Our investigations
revealed that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of the
Governor of Bayelsa State, was the person who
instructed one Hanner Offor to launder the said sum
of N104, 000, 000 into the account of Nansolyvan
Public Relations Limited with First Bank of Nigeria
Plc (FBN), Niger House, Marina, Lagos”.
To further establish the veracity of this discovery, I
was forced to search for a court ruling on this
matter. Findings revealed that on August 22, 2006,
Justice Anwuli Chikere who then was at the Federal
High Court, Abuja presided over the EFCC’s
application on this case and ruled that, “leave is
hereby granted to the Executive Chairman of the
EFCC to … freeze the bank accounts of the persons
referred to as the account holders pending the
conclusion of the investigation of the activities of
the said persons in connection with their
involvement in the acts of money laundering and
other economic and financial crimes related
offences.”
Given that the combined use of both primary and
secondary sources is needed to make a reliable
historical narration, effort was also directed at
newspaper reports of this suit and judgement.
Among many others, in its September 11, 2006
edition, a story under the caption,”EFCC seizes
N104m from Bayelsa Governor’s Wife” featured in
Punch newspaper. The news item was put together
by Sam Akpe and Tobi Soniyi, Abuja.
When cross-examined with our newly found primary
sources, we observed consistency between contents
of the newly discovered primary resources on this
matter and this news reportage. It may be interesting
to produce parts of these documents which highlight
how EFCC arrived at the conclusion that the
laundered money in question involved Jonathan and
Madam Patience.

If you read my post critically you would discover where I stated that corruption is still a big problem facing Nigeria. I never in any way absolve GEJ of any blame or pivoted him as a messiah ... Read my second paragraph in my second post in this thread. All I basically did was share with you my convictions as I presented what GEJ is doing so far and What Buhari did . The readers are left to compare which one was more effective in the long run.

I also layed down what I hope GEJ implements going forward.

@bolded I would be addressing that issue in my subsequent thread where I would be talking about the Economny.

I hear you. You can credit gej in some areas but please don't mention fighting corruption, it ridicules your intentions.

If a government is working it wouldn't have to pay e-warriors to blow its trumpet. We would see for ourselves. Besides you cannot tell me you're secretly cleaning your house when your compound is overgrown with weeds and full of reptiles. I rest my case.

You demonise the opposition about the FOI, and i exposed your fraudulent attempt, by stating the opposition has been the vanguard of the FOI.

Please, tell me PDP states that have domesticate FOI.

You love to spin tales and demonise the opposition, there is a log in your eye, you are talking of the speck in the eye of the APC. Is that not shameful?

Obiagelli:

He fought corruption by mainly setting up measures focused on preventing it the first place. He may not have excelled in prosecution. That is an area he has to take extremly serious. If he wins.

You can only convince a cab driver from the south east/South south to vote a corrupt bandit called jonathan!

Don't bore with these your useless copy and paste article from reno omkri, we have gone past this stage! Just safeguard your voters card!
