denitro: Good point.
The major thing drawing lagos back is the appalling state
of all the FEDERAL ROADS in lagos.
Drive from the airport through Oshodi - Apapa expressway - Ikeja etc
BIG Disgrace

Spirit of Okija:

Maybe [b]Lagos State needs to do what other States are doing [/b]which is fix the Federal roads and charge the Federal government for work done. Rivers is doing it and so are many other States

Mekusnwa: Where did they go to pick this character from? There's no end to what theses Gej haters will not do to get at him. Suddenly, they hve gone to generate a Ghanian professor to come and give a disjointed analyses of that interesting Media chat. Who interviewed this professor? Who made him world's foremost economist? I will not be surprised if this man was cloned by SAHARAREPORTERS or Kobojunkie to lend credibility to their falsehood. Let me assume that the man exist and face the issues raised.
1. He acted in ignorance when he said the president didn't declare his assets. The president indeed declared his assets but it was not made public. Even if you doubt it, the assets declaration that he did as Vp under Yaradua still subsists as he has not left office since then. So why the noise over assets declaration?
2. It is an insult on the sensibilities of Nigerians for the so called Ayitteh to label our President as insane and with unsound mind. Who adjudged Jonathan as having unsound mind? Did Ayitteh evaluate a medical report to that effect? How did he arrive at this weighty derogatory statement against a PHD holder? Who is Ayitteh to tell us we voted an insane President? please there must be an end to useless propaganda.
3. The so called Ayitteh questioned why GEJ has not fixed Maidugri airport for his usage. I want to ask, has Ghana even fixed the airport at Accra talkless of the one in hinterland? Is it Not the airport where a cargo aircraft crashed due to water logged runway. Meanwhile, Gej is carrying out massive reconstruction of airports across the country. He is doing in less than one year what many of his predecessors could not do all thru their tenure. Go to Abuja airport, the domestic wing has been closed down for intensive renovation. New car parks are being built. At the international wing, the runways are being built and the entire airport infrastructure is being rebuilt. Similar projects are going on simultaneously in Enugu, Lagos, etc

@Mekusnwa:
shut up abeg idiot!! you must be one of those who are employed by that fool GEJ to protect his nonsensical government!! how long have u been a member of this website? fool!! do u want to stupidly compare Nigeria and Ghana? fool!!!!!!!! can u compare your academic qualifications or that of that stupid Gej to that of Prof? monkey!! how much is he paying you to talk nonsense?
4. He said GEJ's Agric revolution is only restricted to distribution of palm seedlings. What an affront on truth. Even a toddler in Nigeria has come to know about the cassava revolution and fertilizer distribution reforms scheme.
5. Thankfully, the fake prof accepted the massive construction of rail lines across the country but only faulted the projects on account of what he described as non inclusion of Nigerians in the contract. Who told him? And since when has a Ghanian assumed the role of our local content enforcement officer?
6. He ended up betraying his true identity as an interested party when he said the president needed to consult the university authority and students body before renaming Unilag. What a joke!

mbhs139:



How wrong you are there! Clearly shows you don't know Lagos. But you should have sought knowledge before commenting on what you don't know? Lagos started fixing federal roads before other states, that was part of the problem between Tinubu and OBJ. For your information, the ongoing badagry road expansion by the lagos state government is owned by the federal government.

Goodluck is a trained Zoologist so, what does he need to know about governance! This is what a Zoologist does.

Defend what?! A failed system and state? Truth is bitter but has to be said ! Thank God the professor is a foreigner and not a Nigerian and ontop of that he does not even live in Ghana but in the [b]western world [/b]and has earned his name in the international community as an renowned " African Reformist ". So his views and opinions are on the more objective side.

fesse:

Defend your country.

For the fact the mad prof. is living out AFRICA makes him the most dumbest person ever lived. What basis did he placed his insults? I can take it from my fellow Nigeria not a foreigner no matter how placed.

The i.d.i.o.t.i.c prof is a cheap attention seeker. I believe there are functioning transformers in his western world, he should do himself justice by embracing one.

MEkunsa! your father is GEJ i have gone thru all your post on nairaland and realised you are here to defend GEJ in public forums like this? how much are u been paid to sell your soul? MAY YOUR GENERATIONS AND THAT OF YOUR CHILDREN BE RULED BY GEJS OFF THIS WORLD! MAY BOKOHARAM BLOW UR GENERATIONS AWAY FOREVER


for the above comment?

Kobojunkie:

Imagine a sitting president telling us he even tried persuading the previous president to BREAK THE LAW of the land. What nonsense?

Pukkah: Goodluck Jonathan!!!

Right now, even his handlers and apologists should be embarrassed. He makes their job very difficult.

Zutchy: And I am very sure that you will be the best person to advise the president on matters of state,of course you are wiser than Mrs Okonjo Iweala who is the coordinating minister for the economy,I believe she is also among the sycophants that surround GEJ abi,of course they are all lying to him according to you.get a life pls.

Kobojunkie:

See, im no be Nigerian yet im know Nigerian law more than most Nigerians do . . .o ma se oo!!

kettykin: Nigerians are the most difficult an impossible people to rule on earth. The problems of Nigeria dd not start with Jonathan and will not end with Jonathan .

Pukkah:

Don't stretch the argument too far. No one is saying that Jonathan started all the problems of Nigeria or will end them. However, a certain Goodluck Jonathan voluntarily made himself available for leadership and made specific promises to get our votes. Is it too much to ask this certain man to perform and deliver on his promises?

Yes, he is an ordinary man but does he represent the best of the ordinary men and women in Nigeria, or from the South South? Does he have the ability to transform Nigeria?

ballabriggs:

Please, stop referring to wikipedia when speaking on such issues.

Secondly, HDIs as a measure is more appropriate in determining the standard of living as it looks beyond GDP per capita. GDP per capta only tell us what the average income is without a look at income distribution and such things as the infant mortality rate.

This figures are produced by the best statisticians in the globe. Still has its flaws but it is the most appropriate and accepted for now.

SmoothCrim: Goodluck is not bad, he is a scientist and governs like a Zoologist. Go find out what a Zoologist does and you will understand why Nigeria is in its current state. When you elect a Zoologist you get a Zoologist.

jonc20:

Is this an impeachable offence?

morufoye: In the spirit of oneness, I would like to appeal to all nigerians to stop this perpetual criticism of the personality of the president because presently he symbolises Nigeria. Admittedly, his performance is not up to your expectations but you voted him in and that puts the blame on the you because it proves that your judgement is inexcusably poor. The man served as a deputy governor, governor, vice president and president before you voted for him again. His previous performance should have given you the opportunity to access him and decide. If truly we need a change we should not let our religious and tribal differences affect our judgment in selecting a leader.

not all clothes are meant to be dried in the sun.
Let us chase away the fox first and later rebuke the hen.

What mr president needs right is our support. Sure it may be in form of criticism but it should be constructive. He is all we got now let's deal with it. All patriotic nigerians should rise up and ask that big mouthed professor to shut his trap.

publisher: The only reason why i love Ghanaians is their ability to hide all their nation's flaws and portray their good sides only. For weeks now,northern Ghana has been boiling,ethnic tensions and threats of genocide among the different tribes have received political attention. Personally,i think the people at Sahara reporters have twisted this Ghanaian professor's remarks and turned it up side down.
Over 70% of Nigerians were impressed with GEJ's media chat and his haters had to fight back.
If truly the Ghanaian professor said this,then his views have more to do with some 'vendetta' against Nigeria and Nigerians,not necessarily the person of GEJ.
Go to Ghanaweb and see the insults and problems facing President Attah Mills. Ghana is facing major,major challenges too.

uzomagic: Maybe he knows a little more than an complete idiot like you but certainly not more than the average Nigerian as you are certainly way below the average Nigerian. [b]Our LAW STATES THAT THE PRESIDENT DECLARES HIS ASSETS TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU. Which GEJ has done. [/b]Nigerian law also ALLOWS NIGERIANS TO DEMAND THE PRESIDENT'S ASSETS' DECLARATION FORM FROM THE CCB AS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT. The decision to declare it to the public directly is a matter of discretion and may appear to be playing to the gallery. Prof. Ayittey should tell his Nigerian sponsors to get a copy of the assets declaration form from CCB so he can educate himself and add to his fast diminishing stock of professorial knowledge.

Spirit of Okija:

Well I think yours stats are also greatly flawed as no real data collection exercise was carried out before those figures were published..

So in the interest of this discussion, lets agree to disagree..

Naijagunner83: Go to Ghanaweb and see the insults and problems facing President Attah Mills. Ghana is facing major,major challenges too. Only a fool will deny his Fatherland. Mad Proffessor should write on John Atta Mills
