President Goodluck Jonathan came under criticism from his Facebook friends on Tuesday after he posted his Christmas message on the social networking site.
The President in the message said he
"personally" instructed government
officials to make conditions
favourable for Nigerians to
celebrate the Yuletide. The airports, he said, for instance,
had been given a "facelift", adding
that the terminals were
rehabilitated and the runways
upgraded ahead of the festive
season. He wrote, "I want to seize this
opportunity to wish you and your
loved ones a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year in advance. I feel the
pains of Nigerians and that is why
this Yuletide I have personally instructed that our roads be worked
on to enable you and your loved ones
to travel safely for the holidays. "Not done, we ensured that for the
first time in decades, the cross
country services (Lagos to Kano with
stops in cities along the route) of the
Nigerian Railway Corporation were
revived just prior to the holidays to provide Nigerian masses with an
inexpensive alternative to road and
air transportation. "This administration also took steps
to increase power generation by
remaining true to the Timelines of the
Roadmap to Power Sector Reform,
which has seen history made on
Friday, December 21, when Nigeria's power generation hit an all-time high
of just over 4,500 MW." But no sooner had Jonathan posted
the message on his wall than it was
greeted with a barrage of criticisms
from his friends. While a few praised and advised the
President on how to tackle the
problems bedevilling the country,
many others faulted his submissions. One of his friends, Kaycee Aloy-Obi
wrote, "Mr. President hold your
greetings. You and your family are
having great celebration. A litre of
petrol is sold at N110-N120, against
N97 which is the official price. There is unprecedented traffic jam on Ore-
Benin road due to bad roads. "People cannot go around to visit
love ones because of insecurity. Bury
your head in shame with your 4,500
MW when South Africa is generating
50,000 MW. It is paradoxical that
many Nigerians are having dry Christmas in midst of plenty." Yusuf Suleiman, asked the president
to match his words with actions,
adding that his "advisers are not
telling you the true picture of what
is happening." He said, "In Nigeria today, under your
watch, the country recorded the
highest looting of our treasury, and
you didn't do anything. We also have
seen how citizens were massacred, in
fact, the highest since civil war ended (and) your government is not
doing enough to stop that." Also, Bethel Vincent, wrote, "Haba! Mr.
President, you know say lie no good
at all. Why post something we have
not witnessed, yet you refer to us as
friends and fellow Nigerians. As I am
talking to you, my flat is running on generator; Benin-Auchi road is filled
with potholes and you are talking
about airport, how (many) Nigerians
can afford air transport?" A friend, Ajoba David, wrote, "Sir,
congratulations! Merry Christmas
and a happy new year. What do we
expect as a New Year gift come
Tuesday, January 1st? Well, I hope it
is not going to be another fuel subsidy razzmatazz like we
experienced last year. "Nevertheless, Nigerians have yet to
recuperate from the fever that was
injected into their veins last January
as a result of the purportedly and
verbally(sic) removal of the fuel
subsidy which Nigerians have yet to see any sign of seriousness in
bringing (those) culpable to book."
