ba7man: I didn't vote for anyone during his elections but i was smart enough to know that We have no idea of this man's track record. I don't have patience for these kinds of leaders that keep promising and postponing the delivery date of their promises. We've been stuck with them since i was born and nothing's changed. To his supporters, if this is what you all refer to as "Positive Change" or "Fresh Air" as GEJ might call it.......Nigeria is in big trouble. I don't represent any party, I just want a change from the norm.

ba7man: I'm currently without electricity in my home....its past 3 in the morning, after President Jonathan's Govt has spent Billions of naira. I'm also still seething over the fact that he attempted to raise fuel prices by over 100 percent to fuel his corrupt Govt. Corruption is all around him and it seems he's comfortable with it or he lacks the balls to tackle it. He projects the image of a WEAK man and his actions don't inspire me.

Sincere 9gerian:
If the problem you have with the president is increment in fuel price, then you'r been mischievous. Fuel is a commodity and prices of commodities MUST change with time.

Even your hero, Fashola, if he was the one in Aso would still have increased fuel price. The recently elected president of Ghana increased fuel price, few weeks after elections were concluded. Heavens did not fall in Ghana because the people there are not as tribalistic and partisan as Nigerians. I hope you know Ghaninians have also started experiencing power cuts, though not as bad as in Nigeria, and their railway is also comatose.

This years budget for subsidizing fuel is almost N1trillion, as passed by the NASS. Can a Fashola spend N1trillion on one item? Never! If Fashola was in charge, he would removed the entire subsidy by now and crushed the little opposition. Moreover, the opposition from southwest wouldn't have been much because of tribalism, just like there was no much protest in the southsouth and east the last time. Lagos and Kano were the center of all the fuel subsidy removal protest. The reasons were obvious.

I want to pick up on one thing you wrote.



When Obasanjo was in charge and he increased the price of fuel, were there no protests in Lagos?

Sincere 9gerian:
OBJ increased fuel price about six times or more and at no time did we see the magnitude of protest we saw in Lagos in 2011. The social media may have played a role but much bigger was the role played by partisan and ethnic sentiments. After all, its not only those in Lagos that have access to the social media.

You said you dont have electricity now. Does it mean if another person was the president, you would have had constant electricity by now? I dont get it.

If you had been following activities in the power sector, you would have noticed how everything is being done to ensure stability of power. The privatisation process for instance is nearing conclusion. I'v been following govt activities for a very long time, I cant recall any govt in Nigerian that displayed the kind of sincerity and transparency we have seen so far in the PHCN privatisation.
And I so much believe that the distribution companies in private hands will make so much difference. I'm happy the govt is getting it right.

Also the NIPP projects have all been slated to be completed this year. All are geared towards boosting power supply.

Yes, power supply is not yet constant but it is UNFAIR to turn a blind eye to the hardwork and happenings in the sector to stabilize things.

You said the president "projects the image of a weak man". Well, that one na for your mind. All those who have tried the president so far, have got their fingers irreparably BURNT. Ask Farook Lawan, Justice Salami, OBJ, Timipre Sylva, Buhari,etc Even Boko haram, have received serious pounding by the military, especially since late last year.

If you so much believe in what you wrote, you can as well try him physically or spiritually.

Actually this last protest was tame compared to previous protests. The level of violence that was witnessed in 2000 and 2002 was far greater than this last time. The difference with this last strike was that the leaders were trying to avoid the violence of the past, so instead of dead city strikes, they organised rallies, in order to be able to control the people. The dead city strikes of 2000/2002 were far more effective than this last strike.

In 2000/2002, you dare not attempt to go to work. Your car would be vandalised and you'd probably get beaten. That was not the case with this last strike. I could actually go out during the strike.

lakhadimar: SHUT DA EFF UP. GEJ PROMISED US CONSTANT ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY 2012, YOUR MENTOR BEAF RAN AMOK ALL OVER NAIRALAND INUNDATING US WITH FALSE PROMISES FROM GEJ. NOW THIS 2013 THE COUNTRY IS STILL IN DARKNESS AND YOU ARE HERE SINGING ANOTHER TUNE

Sincere 9gerian:
I referred to the magnitude of protest not level of violence. The level of violence mayb related to the level of force deployed by security forces to smash the protest.

naptu2: Remember, Olusegun Obasanjo was often depicted as a baboon/gorilla.

Demdem:

Of cos, baba was called gorrila. No one told us then that we hated him. Now that its the turn of the kai kai infected scumbag from otuoke, goons are talking rubbish.

MissRaissa: Greetings all,

I am new to Nairaland, I just joined today. I've noticed that many Nigerians have very few good things to say about President Jonathan. I understand he has his faults and all, but he's a better leader than most African leaders.

I just don't understand why you HATE him so much. Please help me understand.

But criticism is not turn by turn now, my yoruba brothers. Nigeria has developed above amala politics now. Let's resort to constructive criticisms for our own good not chop - I - chop govt instituted by ur Master IBB to keep u guys in check.

@egghead, so ur head is still an egg. Better incumbate it before it rottens, not that anybody would mind.
