Thank you,GEJ

Yes, thank you GEJ for starting several projects and not completing any. Even the looting and sharing of our resources which you improved upon after Obasanjo started, you didn't finish because the looted money did not get to my village headmaster. So, our GEJ, is there anything you started and completed in your life time?

My brother anybody can award contracts. Just look at the mambila Power project awarded since the 80's. It takes strong political will to get the job done. So thank you GEJ and thank you Buhari

Such infrastructure takes time. OBJ was really committed to the project. The project received little attention during Yar'Adua's time. Before GEJ restarted it. Buhari didn't do anything on this line. The The he completed was Abuja-Kaduna railway line.

Baba OBJ thank you for given us GSM, that enable us to interact and share our filling good or bad, freely without fear 24/7 to the whole world.
ChangeIsCostant:
History was made on Tuesday when fresh tomatoes from Kano arrived Lagos by rail. According to reports, this will be the first time fresh tomatoes will be transported from Kano to Lagos by train since 1959, 58 years ago.

Disclosing this at First Bank’s maiden Agric Expo 2017 held at Eko Hotel and Suites, on Tuesday (yesterday), Emmanuel Itoya Ijewere, an eminent businessman with extensive experience and interests across the banking, finance and agricultural spectrums, said:

The train left Kano at about 10am yesterday. As at 11am today, it has arrived Osun and by 10pm this evening, it will be in Lagos. That is happening for the first time in 58 years. I want to thank those who have made it possible including the minister of Agriculture. After this, it will now be weekly affairs. We will move a lot of these things conveniently.”

For destroying the economy or what ,
Sarrki you are too negative and sentimental for my liking. you appreciated the other person's patriotism for being neutral regardless. Understand one thing Mr man, governance is a continuous process, past administrations left it somewhere, GEJ picked it up and pushed it to another level, and perhaps today is Buhari, someday I will certainly be someone else.
whether you like it or not Gej contributed positively to Nigeria's development and history, therefore it will be civil, it will be right and patriotic to accord him the respect he deserves.
and you constantly writing against him is just a prove if how ignorant you are and I am afraid your type hardly made something good out of their lives. Be positive dude.

What he means is that the northerners and southerners can be independent politically bt can trade as neighbors. We don't necessarily have to share same political space.

And who do we hold culpable for the recession we are in? Plz be honest. If Gej shud be held high for the rail that wasn't conveying goods during his tenure, then he too should shoulder the blame for plunging Nigeria into recession. Remember policy nature with time.
however u wish to paint it, one clear fact remains that GEJ handed over a Nigeria where the dollar was steadily exchanging less than 180 naira. That same Nigeria was rated the best economy in Africa.
That was the same Nigeria where fuel was sold at 87 naira per litre. Yes, an economy where the trains were running again. Don't u agree it should get better with Buhari, the acclaimed know-it-all? Or is your brain also on recession?

GEJ did well on railways but that particular route has always been active (passenger and cargo coaches) since my childhood so if you would give praises, start from the regime that built the tracks.

The regime that built the tracks but killed the railways? Was it not GEJ who revived it? Use ur brain o

Governor Aregbesola in his cluelessness did free train, after Jonathan had revived them, for transporting Osun state agricultural products.
Did that make prices drop significantly?
No.
There are many factors that affect prices.
Moreover Aregbesola's initiative was just that- initiative.
Unsustainable.
You can find out the last time the chronic debtor gave "free" train service when he is owing more than one year of salaries and several years of pensions.

I would have refrain from dignifying u with a response, but for ur last sentence. You see am not one of those suffering from amnesia regarding how ur drunken Otueke hero paved the way for Nigeria to cave into recession...claiming ur ineffectual buffonic hero handed over an economy where the dollar was exchanged for 180 naira is to be clever by half and being on track to dethrone lucifer as father of lies.
Do u even know how economics work? Do u even know their must be correlation btw our foreign reserve and ability to stabilise the naira in the face of dwindling oil revenue occasioned by plummeting oil prices and sponsored avengers' actions In the Creek? How much did ur IB meet in our FR and SWF? 63 billion dollars in total and he bled both to meagre 30 billion dollars even when oil for greater part of his tenure sold for above 100 dollars. The profligacy of ur drunken master's administration made him to pay deaf ear to his Minister of finance alarm as at 2014, that Nigeria was headed towards recession if the kleotomanic act which characterised Gej's Admin remained unchecked...even wen price of crude oil dropped to 70 dollar ur drunken hero borrowed to pay salary. Pmb on his part bailed out states and paid owed contractors fee In the face of 28 dollar oil prices coupled with the sabotage sponsored by ur hero. The greatest mistake to ever befall Nigeria was the profligate cum kleotomanic Gej.
