Criteria’s That Determines Integrity
Wikipedia an online encyclopedia defines Integrity as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. It is generally a personal choice to uphold oneself to consistent moral and ethical standards.”
Going by the definition above we can deduce that to be seen a ‘man of integrity’ is not by how successful or not you’ve been, what position you’re presently occupying or have occupied in the past, how many political praise-singers sell you as one, nor how the press perceive you but by how consistent your character disposition has tallied with the principle of been honest, and having strong moral and ethical standards.
Our Vice President and The Moral Burden of Integrity
When I read in the press a statement credited to the Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on the performance of previous administrations with respect to the Works sector spanning a period of 10 years (2005-2015) and three Presidents (Olusegun Obasanjo, Umar Musa Yar’Adua & Goodluck Ebele Jonathan) I was shocked and wished he was being misquoted but alas he wasn’t. his exact words go thus “Unless we tackle graft, we may not be able to achieve something. The federal government in the past 10 years could not build a single new road, not repairing existing ones alone. Now we have a president who will not steal money and who will not allow anybody to steal money,” going by these highlighted statement credited to our vice president he wants us to believe that the past government over the last 10 years have not built nor repaired a single road.
What do we call new?
Wikipedia gave 3 definitions for the word 'new', one of which is “already existing but seen, experienced, or acquired recently or now for the first time” Going by this definition we can derive some diverse illustrations that best suits this definition.
Illustration 1
If I buy a ‘non-functioning’ Innoson SUV and I replace with new ones all the parts of the SUV except the Innoson label, can I be said to have acquired a brand new Innoson SUV? Of course yes because what I have is no different both in quality and performance from a factory direct purchase version of same SUV.
Illustration 2
If every single laws and provision in the Nigerian constitution is amended to reflect the true aspirations of the Nigerian citizens as against suspending the entire constitution and drafting a new one with same provisions as the amended one to be decided through a referendum. Can the Nigerian constitution be said to be new? Of course yes because both of them will still be one and the same except that the former will remain the 1999 constitution and the later the 2016 constitution.
Illustration 3
If a notorious criminal, you once knew later comes around and narrates to you how he is now a ‘new’ person because he now feels remorse for the life he once lived and is making efforts to correct all his wrong doings hereby turning a new leaf. Can we say he’s personality is not new because his name height, voice et al has not changed or because he still carries the face you knew him with when he was still a criminal?
Now applying the same logic to roads, if the government discovers a bad road and proceeds to re-construct it by removing the top layer of the entire stretch of the road and may even proceed to add more lanes to it thereby expanding the size of the full stretch of the road, can’t that be said to be a new road?
That been said I will now proceed to enumerate some of the many road projects embarked upon by the previous administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan alone and with pictorial references.
1. The Benin-Ore road
2. East- west road
3. Abuja-Lokoja Abaji Dualisation
4. Kano-Maiduguri Dualisation
5. Onitsha head-bridge
6. Onitsha Owerri expressway
7. Von-Machok RD
8. Katsina Daura rd
9. The east-west RD
10. IJEBU IGBO-SEKONA (OGUN STATE)
11. GOMBE BYPASS ROAD (GOMBE STATE) et al
To be fair to the vice-president, he might have something else in mind when he made that statement, so I immediately downloaded a copy of the budget as presented by the current administration, I scrolled to the budget of the federal ministry of works to check out its capital projects and check for the so-called ‘new roads’ the VP was talking about, but alas I was vindicated, it was still the same roads that have always existed but were either bad or were at different stages of rehabilitation or re-construction, same thing previous administrations have been doing all along which is rehabilitate or reconstruct bad roads, not draw out a new path and start the construction of a new road because as it stands now all the road paths connecting every state in the country have already been mapped out, just that some of the roads have gone bad.
I and my family are members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and are proud of the rich history of leaders that the church have been providing worldwide, Prof Osinbajo is not the first leader to come from RCCG and it will be only fair for him not to use his exalted position to undermine the good name of the Church. As a pastor he should be the custodian of the truth and it is so unbecoming for him to defile the alter of God with his penchant for Pettiness and mudslinging and politicizing the word of God in a bid to attract patronage from gullible followers.
He has no excuse for peddling such falsehood, he cannot say he was ignorant cos definitely he must have used the Benin-ore-shagamu road that leads to his village, and during the campaigns we saw him take pictures on some of this roads he claims never existed and if he was so ignorant he could have at least consulted the Hon.Minister of Works before coming out to spill such damning words that are capable of denigrating the personalities of those who fall in the accused bracket.
In summary, if after 9 months into the much touted government of change the ruling class is still blaming its predecessors and is exhibiting in no small measure its incapacity to proffer solutions to the teeming challenges plaguing the nation but instead keeps adding to this on a daily basis then they should stop grasping at straws and apologize to the electorates for their inherent incapacity as this is the only honourable thing to do
God Bless the Presidency
God Bless Nigeria
God bless Nigerians

Instead of the Professor to bow his head in shame for being the coordinator of the economy when investors ran away with N2.2t under 9 months, he had the temerity to insult God on a pulpit as an anointed preacher.

Chai! APC! Una dey break record sha!!!

-Lord

The VP is right. He said "no new roads". None of the roads listed were conceived and completed in the last 10 years but rather are roads constructed by previous administrations either reconstructed in some parts or maintained in others.

Sh*ge!!!

After reading the article and seeing pictorial proof, you still had the effrontery to write that trash. Me no go swear for you. You are already behaving like someone who is cursed.

That Von-Machok road no be new road ba?

definitely you did not read and i cannot but forgive your ignorance, the vp said no new road was completed in the last ten years, pls tell me when the re-construction of the benin-ore rd or the construction of the von-machok road started.


the VP lied big time and he should apologize for such goof if he has any integrity left in him


one thing about APC goons s they keep defending a lost cause even when it is glaring, so shameful

Baawaa:
Power has CHANGE hands, PDP is now opposition but poor in everything

aboki to start with your sense of reasoning seems poor but you should just use the little if any at all to go return the poor ese your almajiri lords kidnapped from the bosom of her mother

thank you

sdindan:

its really shameful to know that the VP with the so much touted integrity could stoop so low


lalasticlala pls do the needful, people need to be enlightened

Of all these roads, the only one I'm familiar with is the Abuja Lokoja road started by OBASANJO and still not yet completed!! anyone claiming otherwise is telling a big fat LIE..

Anyone intent on calling the VP names can go ahead if that is what will make them sleep easy at night..... The truth however can never be hidden for long.....

The picture depiction are also misleading, the completed picture is somewhere around gwagwalada while the before picture looks like Okene (not 100% sure) which by the way still looks exactly like the picture.

your defence is weak and empty, nobody is calling the VP names we're just stating facts as they are. you claim youre only familiar with one yet you're disputing the existence of others. please learn to argue sensibly and not like a programmed mind

Who is arguing with you

Since you have been programmed to speak without inviting your thinking cap along, show me where i have disputed the existence of the other roads?

Unlike you & your ilk that are unable to separate emotions from reality, I don't say what i do not know, You are claiming a completed road, I'm insisting that road has been under construction for over a Decade.

I wont join issues with you, cos you are not worth the effort, kontinuuu with your bull in a china shop mentality, doesn't change the facts on ground..

Hero IB losing that election was not a fluke, people know better, bye felicia!!...

wherever you kept you kept your sense you really need to go retrieve it, you just commented on a thread you did not read cos if you did you will see clearly where the word 'embarked' was written. The past admin have done thier best in the area of roads construction and maintenance even your min of works have attested to this fact but if you guys still wanna dispute it then we'll wait for 2019 to see the so called new roads the learned Prof was talking about but in the meantime the APC has constructed more roads with their mouth than with physical implements just hope you wont come as usual to blame the PDP for your lack of foresight as regards this too.

enjoy

those completed roads, were they budgeted for in d last 10yrs? For example, obj budgeted and paid for benin-ore road, but d money was stolen by "mr fix it"
D same goes to kano- maiduguri road but was diverted by works minister "lawal"
Onitsha-enugu road was also budgeted for under obj,
In fact, almost all d listed road were budgeted for before 2007

Great article.

Reconstructed. We want to see NEW roads.

Let me also tell you. The East west road contract has been awarded about six times by PDP governments, the money chopped and then the contract re awarded. When they really want to scam, they award a road contract, appropriate the money, secure a chinese loan for the same project, then later convert it into PPP.

The things that PDP did with roads in Nigeria are ten times more criminal than Dasuki gate. Osinbajo was not scratching the surface

show me the provision for a new road in the ministry of works budget then i will understand what a new road is and take you and the VP serious

until then your VP lied

New road:

IBB started and finished the 3rd mainland bridge in lagos with the oil windfall of the 1990s... IBB ruled nigeria between 1986 and 1992.


Ok someone ruled nigeria for 5years and got 6times the amount of money IBB got for the windfall, can you show me one NEW ROAD constructed by that person

Bro thanks for this informative thread. U are wasting ur time with these hard-wired apc zombies, there are programmed to function one dimensional like a malfunctioned robot.
Even if u show them all the evidence in this world, they will never believe, hence, the tag>> ZOMBIE was given to them.
