I want you to mention what GMB did as an Head of State when he was in power

Are you an airhead?

I guess you're a teenager.

Ok. GMB for one, made sure the naira wasn't devalued as a president.
Naira ws strong and was like $1-N2naira.

He built a refinery.

He increased local exports and tried to shift the economy away from oil dependence.

He rejected the IMF loan.
A move that could have killed the economy.
IBB later took the loan and the naira plummeted.

He did much of these within a year!

For more, try and read your history books.

Oga I live here and I have seen our roads down to Ore;not 100% but far far better than the days of......
..

In fact between 2004 and 2009, it wasn't unusual to spend 8 to 12 hours from Lagos to Benin. Even using bush road after Ore due to bad road.

Even if Jonathan gives everyone 200k a month, with breakfast in bed daily, some would say he has done nothing.

You know we like inhumane treatment & suffer head in that country. GEJ has been too civilised and things have been fairly good.

Let them vote in Buhari, who will cancel ongoing projects (just like Lagos Metro Line) and sell govt assets to Tinubu & cronies.

Even with those 3 months added it looks like it's 4 years and 11 months.

Baba... Is like say u be GEJ fan ooo.... If u be den u fall my hand walahi... Dis man don Bleep us up and I no xpect any correct educated person to support am at all... The life of one Nigerian (whether an illiterate, that is dying everyday, in which this Govt. has neglected in the past [only doing some gra gra now that they need the masses]) is worth more than tens of thousand good working Rail lines, good looks of roads and fat money for farmers or what ever. The Govt has faied in its primary duty (to protect its people)... Lets not sell the future of our unborn children for a plate of porridge... Cheers Baba...

So those mths he acted should be wiped off the calendar of Nigeria's history?
If he cudnt do anything when he was the acting president,that is due to his incompetence and nobody's fault.
As far as the records go,GEJ's reign as president started from days as the acting president.
Is it that you can't read, have a problem with comprehension or plainly being mischievous?

OP added the months he served as acting president to arrive at that.

Re: President Goodluck Jonathan Has Only Spent 4 Years,11months by uyplus(m): 12:55pm On Feb 06, 2015
GEJ has tried indeed. He has stayed for 4years and 11 months, and corruption in government is so highly celebrated within such a brief spell? #sighs

GEJ might even exhume Gen. Abacha body to grant him presidential pardon just to prove a point that he is a gentleman. Look, Nigeria has metarmophorsed past that phase of politicking. Soon politicians bribing citizens to vote for them would be a thing of the past, by the GMB sanitizes and purges Nigeria of corruption. That No.1 seat maybe less lucrative for greedy politicians and more attractive for born leaders.

GEJ is really that bad to allow Abba Moro still be a serving minister after defrauding jobless youths. He is really that bad to increase his feeding budget from N1bn in 2014 to N4bn in 2015. He is that bad to stay mute when hus wife was indicted in a $13m money laundering case with EFCC. He is really that bad to allow Dieziani use N10bn on private travels. He is really that bad to have spent $30bn on revamping power yet no giant achievements has been made. He is really that bad to have increased our external debts from $26bn to $70bn. He is really that bad to have spent N968bn as security budget yet nothing has been achieved against the fight for insurgency. He is really that bad to have stayed mute on the missing $20bn exposition by the whistle blower, Sanusi Lamido. He is really that bad to be budgeting N2bn to build VP residence while ordinary Nigerians are homeless. He is really that to be spending N10bn on 11 presidential jets, when he should be more prudent to have max of 2. He is really that bad to have allowed $15m to be swept under the carpet in the illegal arm deal at South Africa, where the names of the Nigerians involved are still shrouded in secrecy but the name of the Israeli was exposed. He is really that to have attended the Organization of Islamic Countries meeting when no president in Nigeria has ever attended such. He is really that bad to have stayed mute on the scam $470m cctv contract deal in FCT, yet no surveillance camera is working. He is really that bad to have said stealing is not corruption. He is really that bad to have said "how much did Jim Nwobodo stole, money that can't buy a Peugeot" (why would a sitting president commonise stealing of public funds, even if it's N1, it shouldn't be stolen because it's should be a call to service and not an avenue to redefine comfort). He is really that bad to have allowed to pension scam thief go with a little punishment. He is really that bad to have pardoned ex-convicts like Bode george, and Alameyghsia. He is really that bad to have not even find a major road like the east/west road which connconnects the south south region. He is really that bad to allow an overinflated budget of N117bn for the 1.5km 2nd Niger bridge yet Lagos state government built the 1.3km Lekki-Ikoyi bridge for N29bn. GEJ is really that bad to allow Tompolo own a warship, and Asari and Boyloaf issue war threat, yet they haven't been arrested. He is failure to have used his cohorts to aattempt sweeping the issue of the alleged missing N30tn under the carpet.

Other long forgotten issues are the N150m renovation of the VP lodge, N5bn rehabilitation for commercial sex workers, N7bn to build 2 city gates in FCT, N4bn to build first ladies mission house, and the presidency bought 200exotic cars for that event, where are they cars?

Poverty level in Nigeria has risen from 54% to 71%, youth unemployment from 9% to 50%, recurrent expenditure from 62% to 86%, national debt from $26bn to $70bn, whilst GDP growth has dropped from 11% to 6%, and excess crude account has dropped from $20bn to $2bn, petrol has risen from 65 to 87 temporarily (97), $1 has risen from N158 to N210.Nigerians want change. We demand accountability. We want a government that is ready to fight for the masses.

To hell with GEJ. If you fail to see that he is a failure, I will open your eyes to the obvious. He is a failure, even with 6years of oil boom he failed, now he wants to deceive us that he can perform in 4years in oil doom.

Op, some folks got F9 in mathematics so it's difficult for them to calculate.

The question is this; was GEJ treated like a VP during those periods?
Did he not make decisions meant to be taken by the president?
Did he not attend to issues concerning the president?
Now u bloody TANOIDS sit here and spit rubbish all because u refuse to see the truth. U might as well say he hasn't spent the last 4 years as the president, cos it's obvious he's not the one calling the shots.

#factsaboutBuhari 1.Buhari served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), a body created by the government of General Sani Abacha, and funded from the revenue generated by the increase in price of petroleum products, to pursue developmental projects around the country. A 1998 report in New Africanpraised the PTF under Buhari for its transparency, calling it a rare "success story". [ 46 ]However, the same report also noted that critics had questioned the PTF's allocation of 20% of its resources to the military, which the critics feared would not be accountable for the revenue.

Which refinery? Forget that nostalgia. 9ja was giving crude oil to Brazil to refine and buy back.

Maybe you didn't witness his regime. Nigeria was a pariah state.

Shifted dependence from oil to what exactly? Services, financial sector or Agric?

By the time Buhari was kicked out, economy had stagnated. Maybe you didn't queue up for essenco, so you won't know.

Sacking civil servants and cancelling projects brought poverty to lots of people.

#factsaboutBuhari 2. One of the most enduring legacy of the Buhari government has been the War Against Indiscipline (WAI). Launched on March 20, 1984, the policy tried to address the perceived lack of public morality and civic responsibility of Nigerian society. Unruly Nigerians were ordered to form neat queues at bust stops, under the eyes of whip-wielding soldiers. Civil servants [ 37 ]who failed to show up on time at work were humiliated and forced to do “frog jumps”. Minor offences carried long sentences. Any student over the age of 17 caught cheating on an exam would get 21 years in prison. Counterfiting and arson could lead to the death penalty.

Also based on the years ish, my nephew is just 3yrs now and is very wise in handling several things at home. I wonder if you expect the suffering downstream sector to stop crying out their minds and overlook things until the president rules for 80years. Hmm, oga you sound educated lemme believe you are just been blinded by some fundamental logics.
