They might not be here for that reason, it may be another tin that they came for.

Very good development. But let it not be used as a witch-hunting medium for the opposition.

this is the reason he invited a neutral body,if he use efcc to jail Tinubu it will be termed witch hunting

Forget that thing, according to Delta boys. Na because we change Tibubu to Tifnubu? Where were you when prof. Soyinka, Pastor Bakare, Amaechi were drawing GEJ into mud? Just mentioned any president who, as at today, the most caged, most insult and most condemed than GEJ. Na today day dey break? Abi you nor get sharp and bad mouth? You better learn before it becomes to late
Look, my thanks will go to Seun for completelysetting the stage open for full blast of abusses and insults. For now, no ban. I swear, I will never stop finishing people, especially foolish people. It has come to stay. Don't border to talk of stopping ispnsults.

The answer is in the article.
The Nigeria justice system is very slow according to the EfCC chairman.

The Law should be made public:
400 and somthing cases prosecuted by EFCC where pls, the outcome and where these people?
CIA or whatever coming to assist EFCC?
Why not scrap the commission....
Am a fan of no party but hate with passion GEJ's cabinet...they all hate Nigeria

Eh yeah, I don even forget sey EFCC until this moment.....

Lest I forget, can anybody remind me the functions of this obsolete company.....

Invite UK police to provide expertise and information to our EFCC whilst doing the following.

dude you should create a thread with this info hopefully it will hit frontpage

Mr. Lamorde , please do something. The bitter truth is that our country stinks. Most of our problems today are manifestations of corruption. You have more than enough properties to confiscate and turn to prisons. Be more radical in your approach. Let it be seen that you at least tried. How many exgovs and other top politicians are in jail? How many properties have we confiscated? Or are you part of the rot? Be a man, & let history judge you right. No matter what motivated Ribadu, credit still goes to him for his efforts during his time in efcc.

Not to forget Diepreye Alamieyeseighar,Jonathan's God father

And those who don't understand GEJ will not catch the drift, It won't be business as usual for them. Hence the cross-over and whatnot.

Call him clueless but I know this man is democratically wise to a fault, he hits when you least expect and trust me, I prefer that kind of leadership than some loud mouthed and tyrannical jamboree

Never take a calm/silent man for a joke.

1. 40 Years Of Corruption In The Agricultural Sector Ended Within 90 Days

Before President Jonathan (and his team) came on board, this was how fertilizers and seeds were distributed to government (and farmers)…

-Fertilizer and seed suppliers will collect money from the government

-Some bagged and supplied sands; others supplied under sized bags. Seed suppliers bought grains from the market and supply as seedlings.

As a result, their supplies were useless. They collected government money and supplied fake products.

To make matters worse, distribution was another problem.

If the government gives distributors fertilizers and seeds to share to farmers for free, they’ll sell it.

So how did President Jonathan solve the problem?

Common phone. Yes! COMMON PHONE.

The federal government distributed e-wallet installed phones to farmers.

And how did these phones do the magic? Simple! Instead of getting supplies from the suppliers, the federal government pays the money directly into the farmers’ phone. The farmers buy the fertilizers themselves – after all, they know the original and fake fertilizers better – It’s their line of business.

The Result?

N50 billion Naira has been blocked from fertilizer money thieves.

Also, local farmers started producing in full capacity. As a result, Nigeria has saved more than N700 billion on food import.

2. President Jonathan Organized The Freest, Fairest And Most Peaceful And Credible Elections EVER

“Electoral corruption is the mother of all corruptions”
– President GoodLuck Jonathan

When President Jonathan was sworn in as the acting president in 2010, he vowed to fight electoral corruption to a stand-still.

How did he go about it?

- He enacted electoral laws and guidelines that were beyond manipulation

- He created an electoral system that is manned by qualified, competent and efficient personnel

- He conducted free, fair and credible elections

The Result?

Governorship elections were acclaimed by both local and international observers and free, fair and credible in…

- Edo state
- Ondo state
- Anambra state
- Ekiti state
- Osun state

In these 5 elections, only 1 was won by the president’s party (A.k.a the ruling party), the PDP. The major opposition the APC won in 2 states and 2 other parties APGA and LP won the other 2.

As a result, the confidence of most Nigerians in the electoral process has increased dramatically.

No wonder more Nigerians are now interested in getting the permanent voters card.

3. 60,000 “GHOST” Workers Exposed

Between 2007 – 2010, the federal government built a new system for paying salaries, the IPPIS system.

In 2012, President Jonathan (and his team) took it a step further. They used it to expose “ghost” workers.

By October 2014, they’ve discovered over 60,000.

For years, these fake workers has been collectively carting away N160 billion every year.

Impressively, the case has been transferred to ICPC for further investigation and prosecution.

4. N1.4 Trillion Worth Of Public Sector Theft Blocked Through Import-Waiver Reforms

What’s import waiver? Simple!

It’s the tax (A.k.a import duty) that the government removes on economic boosting goods – goods that boost the economy. Eg. Raw materials, machinery and spare parts.

Before Jonathan (and his team) came in, corrupt public officers heavily abused this system. They gave and received waivers on unapproved goods. Between 2011 – 2013, over N1.4 Trillion was lost.

As a result, the importers whom the waiver was meant for hardly got it.

With the Jonathan reform in the sector, loopholes have been blocked.

5. Stealing Money Through Government Contract Is Now Harder Than Ever

In 2007, the federal government made a law that made it difficult for government contractors to steal money. It is called the public procurement act.

As a result, they’ve (between 2009 – 2013) blocked N558 billion from getting to contract thieves.

They even went as far as fishing out 180 contract stealing companies. The case has been forwarded to the anti-corruption agencies.

6. Ongoing Sanitization Of The Oil And Gas Sector Already Yielding Results

When President Jonathan came on board, he primarily focused on fighting corruption in 3 key areas…

- Electoral corruption
- Fertilizer distribution corruption
- Corruption in the oil and gas

So far, war on “electoral corruption” and “fertilizer distribution corruption” has recorded tremendous success.

But the oil and gas has been the hardest. Nevertheless, this is what he has achieved so far…

He exposed the biggest scam ever in Nigeria’s history.

In 2011, he told us (Nigerians) that there was huge corruption going on in the fuel subsidy sub-sector. So, he took the subsidy money and put it in places where it will yield more dividend.

Well, nobody understood him. So in January 2012, we all went on strike.

To prove his point, a probe panel was set up. What did they discover? USD6.8 Billion (N108.8 Billion) has been stolen in just 3 years.

[center]Let’s put things in perspective. What really is subsidy?

If a cup (Aka. De Rica) of garri is N300 and I pay N100 for you, then I’ve subsidized the garri – that’s garri subsidy.

What is subsidy scam?

If the garri seller sells 1 cup of garri to you and then lie to me that he sold 10 cups, that’s subsidy scam.
[/center]

The Result?

The subsidy money was used to create the sure-p programme. Below are the achievements so far…

- Used to support road construction.

As a result, 17,000km out of the 23,000 km of bad federal road completed. It’s just remaining 7,000 km and the entire federal road in Nigeria will become good.

- Support for maternal health

600 health centers (mostly in rural communities) already built – and equipped. 700 still under construction.

Consequentially, maternal death has been reduced by 60%. Half a million women now give birth under the care of trained midwives.

- Increased water access - Over 620 boreholes built nationwide.

- Supported the fight against unemployment

Sure-p has been helping in the struggle to get jobs for the 22 million unemployed Nigerian youths…

It’s been working with (and paying) 2,000 youths across the country.

3,000 graduates has gotten jobs under the “graduate internship scheme (GIS)”

5075 youths undergoing vocational training.


Furthermore…

He created and sponsored the most controversial bill in Nigeria’s history, the “Petroleum Industrial Bill (BIB)”

In 2008, the federal government created and sent the petroleum industrial bill (PIB) to the national assembly.

It is a bill that will block all the corruption loopholes – and solve every other problem – in the petroleum industry.

What happened to it? It was vehemently rejected. On 18th July 2012, President Jonathan resent the bill.

But up till now, legislation on the bill has not gone half way.

In May 2015(barely 4 months from now), this current national assembly will be dissolved. A new one will be set up and everybody will go back to square one.

Hmm… You never knew corruption could fight back? Now you do.

As if that is not enough…

He has commissioned – and never stood on the way of any – probe in almost every sector of the industry…

-Aig- Imoukhuede Presidential committee on verification and reconciliation of subsidy claims and payments

-Petroleum Revenue Special Task Force Committee

- The Dotun Suleiman committee

- The Kalu Idika Kalu committee

- The 20 Billion Naira Scam probe

- Etcetera…

7. EFCC Has Prosecuted 427 Cases In 3 Years

The Jonathan led federal government strengthened the EFCC and allowed them do their job. As a result, 427 cases were prosecuted between 2012 – 2014.

The Result?

Fraud in Nigeria reduced from N495 billion to N300 billion. Hence, EFCC saved the country N195 billion.

Sadly, most of the successfully concluded cases are…

- Advanced fee frauds
- Internet frauds
- Commercial cases

Cases involving top government officials have dragged on for years.

The EFCC has blamed this on the Judiciary. These officers (and politicians) frustrate the process. They manipulate the judiciary with the wealth and influence they’ve acquired.

Unfortunately, the federal government (A.k.a the executive) has very limited power over the judiciary (the 3rd arm of government).

Despite that, President Jonathan has continued to use “advocacy” to push for the sanitization of the judiciary.

When he finally succeeds, then every Nigerian – including the very high and mighty – will become truly subject to the law, irrespective of who is president.

In Conclusion

President Jonathan’s approach to fighting corruption looks radically different.

He has focused on strengthening institutions and blocking loopholes in the system.Where possible, he used technology.

Funny enough, this is how Denmark, New Zealand and Finland (the 3 most transparent countries in the world) rooted out corruption from their country.

Thank you O!

The fear of Buhari is already working. As for those worried about being Umaru-Dikko-crated to Nigeria, do you know how many people USA and Britain kidnapped as terrorists? Our looters are the cause of terrorists and they are worse than terrorists. There is no place for them to hide.

Sai Buhari!

Why only ex govs? Why witch hunting? Why not prosecute past political office holders? Am sure GEJ doesn't want to cast his two sweethearts (diezanni and oduah) dats y he limited it to ex govs.

WHO IS MOHAMMED BUHARI?

* I have never seen any school built in his name. * I have never seen any borehole constructed by him. * There is no record of any scholarship awarded by him or for him nor through him. * I have never seen him use his popularity to canvass for any charitable work nor any humanitarian effort, not even at the height of the polio scourge where other purposeful and prominent leaders lead the campaign for immunization. * No single text book has been donated to any school either by him, for him or through him. * Asides from doing nothing, he has not improved himself since his exit from office. * No book written, no memoirs, no lectures, nothing. * The only thing of note he can point to are his numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa station. * He never champion for a university in his state nor has he ever been involved in any kind of programme to better the lives of the Almajiris in Daura. * His entire existence has not lead to any meaningful development in Daura, yet they say he can change Nigeria. Doesn't charity begin at home again? * No wonder he was referred to as being ''perpetually unelectable''. * He is not a patron to any organization, group or association. * No professional body in Nigeria has ever invited him for their lecture, convention or gala night. * The only time any known form, body or human assemblage ever chose him to do anything for them was when the Boko Haram terrorist sect nominated him as their spoke person in the proposed talks with the Fed. Govt. Is there any wonder why he says the BH scourge will end if he is elected''? Abeg GEJ till 2019

This GEJ is a joke. All these now cos of election ba? You are going to Otuoke in May 2015. Thats all.

Another mode of weeping those not loyal into line. The question is why now?
