30 Reasons Why I Will Vote For GEJ & 12 Reasons Why I Will Not Vote For Buhari by Nobody: 9:41pm On Jan 08, 2015
In 2011 i voted for Buhari and not GEJ because i felt "can anything good come out of PDP??" Little diid i know that its all about the person and not the polical party. Here are some of the reason i must vote for GEJ. These are so evident that nigeria bought his ticket unlike Buhari who took a loan to pay for his ticket( you only take a loan to do business because you sure of making profit)

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 be 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 N1.51trillion 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.


REASONS WHY I CANNOT VOTE FOR BUHARI
1) Buhari is too old 73(this year) byf 4yrs time 77 by 8yrs time 81. No i refuse to be part of that.

2) Buhari once ruled 30yrs ago he is outdated, old model, *permit me to use d word* "obsolete"! i wonder if he can cope with the modern tech because this is not the era of pen and paper

3) No proof of educational qualification. you dont need to travel to my school to know my qualification. I have my proof with me.

4) Buhari wants to use Nigeria for business. you only take loan to do business. who be fool??

5) Supporters of buhari has threatened to divide the country if PDP rigs(read win) the elections. i read yesterday that apc have plan to clone voters material

6) Buhari became head of state via coup. coup is a crime and punishable by law.

7) All the achievement attributed to buhari were done by Idiagbon but he is not running with idiagbo this time

cool Jonathan has never made it unclear that he supports corruption. One of the high points of his administration was granting pardon to convicted criminals. However the Buhari supporters will have us believe that their Oga will with one magic wand do away with corruption in Nigeria whereas notable corrupt personalities like Tinubu and Okorocha(who boasted he will bring a trailer load of money to bribe people) are very comfortable with his emergence as president.

9) You may not survive it campaigning for Gej in the northern states, ask Gombe governor. Whereas Amaechi has been campaigning for Buhari without any threat to his life in the south.

10) The Buhari supporters will have us believe that their Oga isn't a tribal jingoist; however, since the campaigns, we haven't heard of Buhari campaigning in the East. However Gej has campaigned in kano.

11) How can someone confidently say he boko haram will stop if he wins if he doesn't have connections with them?

12) i will not want to stop the transformation agenda of GEJ and set nigeria 30yrs backward therefore i cast my vote for Goodluck february 14

Oga - state 40Million reasons Y GMB shouldn't be voted to power; it won't stop him from winning on February, the 14th.

Fuel Subsidy Scam,

PHCN Scam

Pension Scam

Immigration Recruitment Scam

Diezani Alison Madueke Aircraft Scam

Insecurity

Aiding & abetting Boko Haram[Yes, exoneration of Alimodu Sheriff].

Missing $20Billion [Sorry, Obasanjo said it's $54Billion].

These, my friend, are enough to kick that Fedora-hat wearing bastard back to the gutter[Otueke] from whence he came!

I categorized those pple supporting GEJ, but I don't know under which one to put you, maybe because I like the 'quoted' write-up kiss maybe because it's filled with funny and laffable pieces, mayb because a few are correct, maybe because some points there are outdated, mayb mayb.....


Btw, who told you GEJ opened up Paypal? I even contacted Paypal as to why we are receiving half-service and was told it's because of some of Nigeria's policies(might be those ones frm 1999 I dunno o).

Dangote's welth, hahahah! Very 4ny! And did u knw how much he lost in the last 3 months?


The new Nigeria GDP? So you think it is Jonathan that enhanced it? Nope sire! It has been on a progressive 'gooding'(permit me) for a long time. They only did a re-basing. U knw wht tht means? U may go 2 the economist.com, guess they ave an article on tht.

Nations Cup: O yea! We met goodluck indeed! Up Super Eagles. Up Goodluck!

Freedom of Information? O yea! A step in d right direction. Saharareporters editor, etc might ave been sent to outer space. Bt we're still aving problems o. WhistleBlowers stand d risk of loosing their cap/neck(thank God nt head), u remember Sanusi? I think it's only ICT tht has done more magic here. We r faceless o Yea!!!


INEC being independent: O yea, I love tht, it's even giving Buhari hope sef. If it were to be 2003, e sure say no vote go count.


Women involvement: He really kept his promise(I nor dey talk of PEJ, etc o). Bt do u realy think past administratns have been neglecting women? Then, we ave very few capable females. Those that r even capable most times shy away from politics or restrained by their hubby. Ladies abeg step-up o, we r gonna need yo 2mao. No be hips nd bossoms I dey talk o.


Opening to foreign 'capitalists' and paper figures: Check any Chinese, etc firm and see hw many Nigerians are there. Ask hw they r being treated and paid. It's not about bringing them to make money alone, it's about mutual benefit. The question is, are the benefits mutual

Local car manufacturing: O yea! Go Innoson, Go GEJ-led FGN!!! Nigeria o ni baje o!!!

Lemme stop rebutting and appraising here.

Know that those good and bad sides are what 'GEJ-led team' and Nigeria achieved 'collectively'.

Know that Buhari's age doesn't mean his cabinet will be full of old-cargoes. And know that GEJ's cabinet is not without 'old-cargoes'

Know that our words, actions and inactions will determine the fate of Nigeria.

For those who are/wanna sit on the fence: "Bad leaders are voted into power by good peoples who refuse to vote" -Abraham Lincoln. Get ur voters card, make ur own 'personal' decision and vote come next month.....

From all indications, GEJ is better than Buhari.
This guy called buhari was once a head of state. What were his achievements? Zero!! Tell me one if u remember any. Is it d prisons he built?? Smh!

When u were in primary school, they told u u guys are d leaders of tomorrow. My question is when is dt tomorrow? A man dt ruled dx country 30 years ago coming back to rule again! Haba!! I'm nt saying Jonathan is under 20 o bt mehn buhari should leave Nigeria for d young and allow us to be d leaders of today which is the tomorrow dey promised us yesterday.





Oh! I remember how our naira fell against the US dollar

GEJ may not be perfect but he is way better than Buhari.
