When OBJ was in power, and never gave a damn about the masses, where were you?

I have never been a fan of Obj. But he did a lot more than this useless tyrannical president.
God forgive you for saying Obj never gave a damn about the masses. The present privatisation of PHCN that obj started was not for the masses abi? Let me educate you a bit. Obj started the privatisation through the "unbundling" process of NEPA and got it incorporated Power Holding COMPANY of Nigeria - PHCN) which set the stage for the separation of generation, transmission and distribution aspects of the entire electricity chain into "18 business outfits". Though still owned by government but the final aim was to get them over to private companies (except transmission). it went further to produce the Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) which gave birth to Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) - the monitoring and regulating body for the electricity industry. ALL THESE WERE DONE 10 YEARS AGO in 2005.

And i guess neither was the signing of the the mordernisation of the rail lines in the country:

Last Updated: Tuesday, 31 October 2006, 10:03 GMT

China is to build a railway line between Nigeria's two main commercial cities, Lagos and Kano.
An $8bn contract was signed by the deputy transport minister and the president of the Chinese firm (CCECC).

CCECC President Lin Rongxin said 50,000 Nigerians would work on the 1,315km line which he said was "a design, construct and maintain project".

Nigeria's leader said the five-year north-south line was the first phase in a 20-year modernisation programme.

President Olusegun Obasanjo, who watched the signing, said the second phase of the railway project would include a link between the southern oil city of Port Harcourt and the central city of Jos.

The existing railway along these routes has fallen into disrepair and new tracks are to be built under the deal with China.

China recently granted Nigeria a loan of $2.5bn and much of this is expected to be used in the railway project.

Earlier this year Nigeria repaid a multi-billion dollar debt it owed to the Paris Club, becoming the first African nation to settle with its official lenders.

Nigeria is one of the world's biggest oil exporters, but it is also one of the world's poorest countries, with the majority of the population living on less than $1 per day.

What about the Local Content Bill that opened the oil industry to local players? Today many local companies now play active roles in the oil industry. Many of the equipment are now being fabricated in Nigeria as opposed to 100% importation before OBJ era. Nigerian engineering graduates have never had this much employment in the oil industry until OBJ came.
Yet you dare open your mouth to say Obj never did anything.

Now someone come with refurbished containers that take 10 hours to move from Enugu to PHC and you are jumping. Did you bother to read what the guy said after the trip:

In summary, the railway authorities needs to wake up and address a lot of maintenance and technical issues with the rails. They should change personnel and systems. There are heavy delays for unnecessary reasons. People ask to be dropped off at places not designated as train stations and the officials agree. There were about six unofficial drops, they just inform the driver and he stops.

They seriously need to improve. I will score this railway authority 40% this train is not good for a businessman like me . Maybe they need to add another express line.

It looks like GEJ's "world-class" train just lost a customer on his first trip - A perfect recipe for unsustainable train service i.e another wastage of public funds on unproductive asset.

After testing out some of the new trains which have been recently commissioned I felt with a great sense of gratitude to thank our Beloved Mr Clueless, for providing such a comfortable travel to us all....

I love the word clueless because, the joke is on those who have no clue what GEJ has just done for our beloved nation...

As I'm writing this piece, I'm riding in a first class Coach with damages seats, dirty floors and stinking train in London...

Our train cabins in Naija are far much Classic & comfortable compared to this junk I'm sitting on here in London...

if You doubt me, I will do a video recording on my way home and share with you guys... so we can atleast appreciate our president, whether you like him or not.... its time we start supporting what we have...

Let's appreciate good things for once and d people who make them happen.



God bless us all
God Bless GEJ & GMB
God Bless Nigeria
