American civil rights activist, Jesse Jackson, after listening in on the presentation of the mid-term report of the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan, described the latter’s administration as transparent and unequalled in contemporary democracy.

Mr. Jackson, subsequently, urged Nigerians to rally round him in order to entrench democracy and good governance in Nigeria.

Apparently impressed by the achievements listed in the president’s report, Mr. Jackson said with the mid-term report, it is obvious that the ship of the Nigerian nation is sailing in the right course and should be supported by every Nigerian.

Do you agree with him?

I think a letter to Rev. Jackson on the "undemocratic" nature of GEJ is in order.

koruji: I think a letter to Rev. Jackson on the "undemocratic" nature of GEJ is in order.

What is undemocratic about the government that has allowed opposition to thrive even when they go beyond their boundaries?

Never has the right to freedom of speech been exercised so widely in Nigeria until GEJ came on board.

GEJ has his flaws but he can never pass for an undemocratic President. Never!

"Paid to Attend" commentators are even worse than sycophantic elements who praise GEJ daily for being corrupt, clueless, incompetent and sometimes being plain daft.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, Collect your attendance fees but Nigerians know better. We know corruption under this administration is unprecedented. More than a trillion naira stolen in the name of subsidy. We know how a corrupt president collected his share via proxy in a billion dollar malabu deals that reek of corruption. We know how first lady is collecting salary for a job not done in a nation with unbelievable unemployment rate. We know the story of pension fraud where Maina was effectively shielded by President Goodluck Corruption Jonathan. Jonathan effectively killed whatever left of anti-corruption drive in this country by granting pardon to corruption also known as Alams in a "I don't give a damn" manner.

We know this president can not claim Nigeria is better than three years ago in terms of security. A government that has failed to protect her citizens has failed in everything. Perhaps the dead victims of sundry fracas, bombings, plain assassinations would resurrect to enjoy dividends of Jonathan's democracy and transparency!

The promise of regular power supply is at best a yoyo. The entire country is in total darkness as I write now. They claim seasonal variations as achievements and shift their own deadlines at almost every minute or even seconds. Today, deadline for regular power supply is December 2013. Tomorrow, it's now March 2014 and a day after, it has been shifted to December 2014.

On road, he's simply a failure, nothing much to add. The nation's busiest road-Lagos/Ibadan expressway-epitomizes everything that's wrong with this government. The government of unending committees would not allow concerned governors to rebuild the road but still keep the nation down with her indecision.

The unemployment rate continues to soar despite repeated jargons of growth spewed regularly by a woman who gave out $12 billion dollars for debt cancellation but who is now an apostle of "Nigeria has not borrowed enough".

What's left? There's no point discussing how Mr. Goodluck Corruption Jonathan lied to the nation via a national broadcast. His anti-corruption effort is second only to US in the whole universe!

Jesse Jackson still dey Naija ? 2 weeks and counting. E be like say market good o .naija hustle better pass Yankee own o.
