One of the things that keeps Nigerian's from going further is their inability to be objective. 95% of the people who hate the current President deliver their judgements based on sentiments. Weather tribal, religious or regional. One of the questions I keep asking those who wanted to re-elect Goodluck Jonathan is to mention just 10 things they gained from his term and unfortunately I have been unable to get this answer from anyone. The funny thing is that, we were among the people that voted for GEJ in 2011. But when we noticed he was not fit to rule the country we placed our votes in favour of CHANGE.

Now change is here and many are still against it. Is this the way forward?

Some claim he is a dullard/illiterate yet he answers questions with more brilliance than some so called doctors.
Some claim he is here to islamize Nigeria, yet his deputy is a Pastor. Plus, I haven't seen the order which indicates that all other religions must convert to Islam nor has he forced sheria law on anyone.

So what is keeping these people from giving him the benefit of a doubt? Instead, all of them are waiting for him to make just a single mistake so they could criticise him. Many are praying he fail so they could proved right.

Is this what hatred and sentiments has turned us into? Praying for our country's downfall so we could be proved right? How are we supposed to move forward when majority of us harbour such dirty and disgusting mentality?
We keep praying for a better Nigeria, is this the way to make it better?

JUST MENTION TEN THINGS YOU GAINED FROM GEJ'S TERM THAT MAKES YOU THINK HE WAS FIT TO GO FOR ANOTHER TERM. If you can't be truthful to others, then at least be truthful to yourself and your country.

@op are u blind, all the infrastural development u hav been enjoying, e.g light and others, who put them inplace. Buhari is only consolidating on GEJ's achievements

Still waiting......

Yah! quite right Nigerians lack objectivity so much it is painful, this sometimes appears as ignorants or stupidity... To me Nigerians come off as Natural asskissers... especially in politics, when politicians are obviously failing the people at something. For instance, Buhari is obviously struggling with the new democratic set-up but people will not say it, and GEJ was obviously poor at handling Boko Haram. Overall, Both GEJ and Buhari are not the leaders that Nigeria deserves at this point of it's democracy... Nigeria deserves much better because there are better people in Nigeria... yet, we are stuck with the old guards of Nigerian politics making choices that ultimately benefit their pockets! well, hopefully they die out soon... maybe a new and more patriotic generation will grow!

What infrastructure are you talking about? Even if there was, what's the importance of infrastructures that are just there but not functioning? How did we benefit from those infrastructures during his term?

Capita NONSENSE!

you should cover your face with your hands because you are such a big liar.

When will Buhari return our PTF money that he stole?

When will he probe Buratai despite the fact that there's enough evidence?

Amaechi stole Rivers state money all in the name of monorail project that he never completed 10% but now a minister under Buhari

For your information, there's nothing like improvement in electricity supply because its not a secret. Just yesterday, some Benin residents blocked road to protest poor electricity supply or do you want to tell me that edo state is not part of Nigeria?

What's the inflation rate under Buhari compared to the past administration?

Why do Nigeria economy goes into recession under Buhari administration in the 80s & still the same during his current adminstration?

You asked me a question and I answered. I have no reason to lie. I don't favor parties blindly. If Buhari stole, I haven't seen any proofs yet.

I said the electricity in my area is better than it was did you ask what area it was before you deemed it a lie?

Inflation is higher? Why shouldn't it be? Don't you know of the money we've lost in the past administrations? Did you think it wouldn't affect our economy?

Let me tell you something, my whole family voted for Goodluck in 2011 despite our tribe and religion, didn't Buhari contest against him then? Do you think I'm being sentimental? I'm not being sentimental at all. I loved Good luck and voted for him cause I felt he was better than Buhari, in 2011 but changed my mind in 2015 cause of the way he led his administration. I always strive to be object and judge people base on their efforts not tribe and religion!

I HAVE SOME FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE
1. Promotion and practice of true democracy by creating an enabling environment where people from diverse backgrounds and with divergent views and opinions can be accommodated. Under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan administration, the APC was registered by INEC as a mega opposition party big enough to challenge the PDP at both state and national levels. This would have been unthinkable some years back.
2. Conduct of free and fair elections in the country, including the 2011 poll which was adjudged to be the most credible election of its magnitude that has ever been conducted in the country, though it was not without its flaws. Unlike in other administrations, the Goodluck Jonathan administration has given a free hand to the country's electoral umpire, INEC, to perform its statutory duties.
3. Relative non-interference with electoral and judicial matters. This is evident in the number of governorship elections that have been won both at the polls and in the court by opposition parties in Anambra, Imo, Osun states, among others.
4. Liberalization of the press and guaranteeing the freedom of speech in a country where the stifling of the press and suppression of the citizens’ right to freedom of speech used to be the norm, a legacy of over 30 years of military rule. The existence of vocal anti-government media houses and critics would have culminated in some high-profile assassinations some years back, but today citizens are free to air their views whenever and wherever they like just like any other sane country.
5. Opening up of Nigeria to the global business community and becoming Africa's number one destination of foreign investors. In the first six months of 2014, a total of US$9.70 billion or N1.51 trillion flowed into the national economy as foreign direct investments (FDI).
6. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria rebased it's GDP for the first time in over a decade to become the largest economy in Africa, overtaking South Africa and Egypt in the process.
7. Proceeds from Nigeria's non-oil exports rose to 2.97 billion by the end of 2013, up from 2.3 billion in 2010.
8. Initiation of the YOUWIN program in 2011. The Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN) program aims to generate over 100,000 jobs for innovative unemployed youths across the country in the course of three years. It is currently in its third year.
9. Nigerians are now a step closer to being fully integrated into the international e-commerce community with the approval and reinclusion of Nigeria as one of the Paypal-compliant countries after being banned from using the service at the peak of the advanced fee fraud (419 scams). With Paypal, Nigerians can now pay for goods and services online from anywhere in the world.
10. Goodluck Jonathan administration is the one behind the revival of the dead automotive industry in Nigeria. Global auto giants like Peugeot, Nissan and Hyundai now either assemble or wholly manufacture small cars, Sport Utility Vehicles, trucks and buses at various locations in Nigeria. In addition to that, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM), Nigeria’s flagship indigenous automaker, has begun the sale of their first made-in-Nigeria cars and SUVs in August 2014.
11. Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria became the first country in West Africa to host the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2014. It was also the most successful World Economic Forum for Africa (WEFA) in history, boasting of a global reach of 2.1 billion people according to estimates.
12. Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote's net worth increased from US$2.1 billion at the start of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's administration to US$23 billion in 2014, making him Forbes' richest black person in the world and the overall 26th richest in the world. He attributed this mammoth increase in his monetary worth to Goodluck Jonathan administration favourable economic policies.
13. Construction and beautification of many federal roads in the country, including the Lagos-Benin expressway, Abuja-Lokoja expressway, Enugu-Abakiliki expressway, Onitsha-Owerri highway and most parts of the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway. Also, construction of the second Niger Bridge between Onitsha and Asaba to relieve the pressure on the old Niger Bridge which was completed in December 1965.
14. Revival of the comatose railway system of transportation in the country is happening under the current Goodluck Jonathan administration. 15. Remodelling, beautification and standardization of airports across the country. In addition to that, aircraft from Nigeria are now allowed to fly directly to the United States of America instead of going through many stopovers in Amsterdam and some other European cities along/in the route. The Akanu Ibiam Airport in Enugu was upgradede into an international airport, directly connecting the South-East region of the country to the outside world for the first time since independence.
16. Establishment of nine federal universities across the country in states which previously had no federal degree awarding institution.
17. Computerizing education in the country with the introduction of the computer-based test (CBT) which will be mandatory for all UTME candidates from 2015.
18. Introduction of the Almajiri system of education in the academically disadvantaged Northern parts of the country.
19. Arresting the outbreak of the deadly and highly contagious Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in record time, though it unfortunately claimed some lives at the onset.
20. Transformation of the agricultural sector, so that, in the words of Agriculture minister Akinwumi Adesina, "Nigerians will stop thinking of agriculture just as a means of livelihood, but more as a business."
21. Nigeria has reduced its food imports by over 40% as of 2013, moving the country closer to self sufficiency in agriculture.
22. Nigeria is the world's largest producer of cassava with an output of over 45 million metric tonnes in 2014 according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
23. Due to favourable economic policies, Internet penetration in Nigeria has now increased from about 45 million in 2011 to 63 million in 2014, overtaking countries such as the United Kingdom and France in the process. What this means is that more people now use the internet in Nigeria than in the UK and France.
24. As of the second quarter of 2014, the number of registered active telephone lines in Nigeria stood at 130 million out of a total of over 170 million telephone lines.
25. Introduction of the Nigerian electronic identity card (e-ID card), one of the most secure in the world d the largest in Africa. The e-ID card serves as both an international identification module and an electronic payment solution.
26. Introduction of the cashless system which aims to encourage the use of e-payment systems in the country and reduce the volume of physical cash in circulation.
27. Unbundling of the dysfunctional Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) into about 18 profit-driven successor companies.
28. Under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan administration, Nigeria won the African Cup of Nations for the first time in 19 years in South Africa in February, 2013.
29. Nigeria ended up with 11 gold , 11 silver and 14 bronze medals at the recently concluded 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing 8th in the overall ranking.
30. Women in politics have been given more prominent roles in the current President Goodluck Jonathan administration. A large number of the federal appointees of the Goodluck Jonathan administration are women. They include, but are not limited to, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Miriam Aloma Mukhtar, Nigeria's first female Chief Justice; Diezani Alison-Madueke; ex-aviation minister Stella Oduah, Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s representatives at the United Nations; Sarah Jibril; and Viola Onwuliri Read more: https://politics.naij.com/291232-goodluck-jonathan-administration.html

If that's what you thought would have happened if he still remained the President then I guess you don't like facing reality.

Wait a second, didn't the past administration claim there was no corruption in Nigeria? The former chairman of CBN then shouted about missing funds what was done about it?
