LoveKing:
sorry for quoting your long post but you were not so intelligent to see the sarcasm in the OP. See yourself as the opposition then you'll understand. Moreover the piece is from ipaidabribe.com, maybe you dont know who they are and what they stand for.
My broda, I don't know ooo. Just educate me on who they are. I just gave an honest opinion and it behoves on you to counter the facts I gave.
I don't care about whether the Op was sarcastic or not. All I know is that I responded with facts of genuine achievements of Gej in one year. And I await your response on the facts raised

ndu_chucks: I don't see the wisdom of itemizing, what should otherwise be, the regular job of the President, as major achievements. Major achievements should be acts which go beyond the call of duty and which are performed with great distinction.

Sir, to date, this President is worse than a mediocre President. I'm afraid he is too dumb to rule Nigeria successfully - I hope I am wrong.

"Major" achievements you said.

Do you have any idea of the extent of

meticulous work been done in the

Power Sector not just in the marked

improvements in Generation,

Transmission and Distribution but

esp in the Privatization and

concessioning of the sector? Are you

aware of the effects the reforms,

which is currently in its concluding

stage(Sept/Oct this year), would

have on the nation? This admin is

the NRC that have been moribund for

very many years have been revived,

more workers re-engaged and most of

tracks in the country are been

rehabilitated(actually most of the

already and some intra- and

Itakpe-Aladja-Warri rail track is

Mallamabdul:

Its easy to criticise but facts dont lie. GEJ has generated over 4,770 megawatts since he came in as against the less than 2600 he met on ground. He Is targeting 9000 MW and this is realizable given the ongoing construction of mambilla and Zungeru. He also intends to privatise PHCN for more efficiency.

Our Foriegn reserves have not depleted as you erroneously tried to portray in your post. Rather it has increased from 32 to 36 billion in April 2012.
The money in our excess crude account has not also been wasted. The GEJ govt seeks to put an end to this culture of waste by creating the Soverign Wealth Fund which shall be a legal account for savings for the rainy days.

Its also funny that you don't know about the ongoing prosecution of oil thieves. How ridiculous? Do you watch TV at all?

Bros u dey make me laff in swazeee. anyway im sure u would hav read enuf comments from nairalanders. We are no longer morons. we know the messiah when we see one. GEJ doesnt need to be wasting tax payers money on media publicity, its trash. all the anti corruption campaign na fluke. You are talking about electricity, common sense tells us that water level increases during raining season, thus reasonable stability in electricity. Lets see if this is sustainable esp during d dry season. We are still talking about this poverty mentality, when we get crumbs from govt they will start shouting as if its not our right. And as per d ongoin prosecution, what i said was, nothing reasonable would come out of it. Na today we dey see diff probes, noise, committee?? if GEJ can successfully prosecute them and bring them to book with severe punishment, maybe he can win my heart. But im sure the noise will die down with time, they all belong to the same thieving group. the succesive govt right from d 1st republic have plunderd n looted our wealth for their personal aggradisement. God is watching ooooo.....no be today oo my brother. we don wise up. lets wait and see as events unfold. Even Abati no fit sell GEJ, na you wan sell am to us. Im patiently waiting to see a better naija

I can't imagine someone come on nairaland listing out GEJ's achievements, am not pro or con but stands for the true reality. my question is what are the responsibilities and obligations of the president? As a father and the head of a family I understands my own responsibilities and obligations in my own little way. I call this sponsored, cheap campaign and electioneering. Mr president has tried in his own little way but you don't call that achievements. Now let me bring you this to your knowledge: I access the economy based on the amount I give to my wife and what she put on the table,I buy the water I drink, I buy fuel for my gen on a daily basis,in a growing economy it shouldn't be so. Our GDP is out on point. Our depth rate is becoming alarming. The so call subsidy cabals are on top of the economy, the political will to tackle insecurity is zero, our education standard is falling day by day. A trip round our neighbouring countries you will appreciate leadership at work. The question remains what are the responsibilities and obligations of mr president? Stop listing on letters let his works speaks for him action speaks louder than voice.

The president in 16 months in office has set the ball rolling for the rebirth of a new nigeria, where conservatism and stereotypism( bus.as usual thing) is fast becoming a thing of d past.. This he's achieving by groundbreaking policies and frameworks most of which have been apt. This no leader except obj who attempted has done. The power sector reform is the 1st to yield visible results cos d initiative was given a serious reinvogoration by GEJ.. Others in public service reforms have saved d country billions from recurrent exp budget, Agric reforms being initiated if we fully comply will lead d country 2 an alternative economic heave and not only wil it create much employment for our rural populace but also help bridge d rural urban wealth distribution gap.

lordriko: I can't imagine someone come on nairaland listing out GEJ's achievements, am not pro or con but stands for the true reality. my question is what are the responsibilities and obligations of the president? As a father and the head of a family I understands my own responsibilities and obligations in my own little way. I call this sponsored, cheap campaign and electioneering. Mr president has tried in his own little way but you don't call that achievements. Now let me bring you this to your knowledge: I access the economy based on the amount I give to my wife and what she put on the table,I buy the water I drink, I buy fuel for my gen on a daily basis,in a growing economy it shouldn't be so. Our GDP is out on point. Our depth rate is becoming alarming. The so call subsidy cabals are on top of the economy, the political will to tackle insecurity is zero, our education standard is falling day by day. A trip round our neighbouring countries you will appreciate leadership at work. The question remains what are the responsibilities and obligations of mr president? Stop listing on letters let his works speaks for him action speaks louder than voice.

With all due respect, this submission of yours is SILLY. There are people moving about the web saying that the President has not done anything and instigating people against him; calling him "weak" and "clueless" about what to do and you actually expect that there should not be any response? Go through the webosphere,there are a flurry of write ups against the President based mostly on LIES, HALF-TRUTHS and outright PROPAGANDA in a form that no President has ever had to put up with; coupled with insults and in a few in stance HATE.

I may have a problem with the style of the OP and would not call those achievements yet in the actual sense, cos he(the President) still has about 3 years of his mandate to run, however, those people who peddle these lies present the situation as though the President has not only been ruling the country since Independence(so he is the cause of all the country's failings) but that his mandate is over(or should be over- that's why they usually call for resignation, impeachment etc) when apart from the unfortunate Security Challenges there is no president within at least the last 25 years have done(or rather doing) things that will transform this country as he has done in about 2 years, I repeat NONE. So expect that some people, who disagree with the methods used by these desperate Power Mongers, would remind others of what the President has done. To ask that those people should keep quiet is NAIVE, UNFAIR and honestly SILLY.

In any case when we debate this way we usually subject our assumptions to more scrutiny. For instance, you said Standard of Education have decreased and I wonder: compared to what and what your parameters were. While I agree that so much work needs to be done in the area of education going forward, I assert that using almost all parameters(no of students attending primary school, no of students staying in school, access to university education- with the building of 9 new universities in a year and licensing more universities, stability in the educational system- with the approval of the Teachers Salary Scale and Lecturers Salary/Retirement Age, the highest allocation of fund to the Education sector ever , even a slight increase in the pass rate in national exams etc etc ) this is not the correct assessment. Again , I am aware that many things still need to improve in this sector but it is relatively better and there is certainly no fall in the Standard of Education as you asserted(except you have your own parameters, which I would like you to share).

Similarly, you dismissed the improvements in Power supply as due to "Rainy season". But the question is- is this the only rainy season we have ever had? Do you know that the total installed capacity for Hydro plants in the country is about 1300MW and not all are been delivered of course; so lets assume that when the Dry season comes that the power supplied from Hydro sources will be half of its current level, still if you subtract this from the almost 4400MW available today it will still be significantly higher than the about 2800MW the President met(by the way, some of the units in these Hydro plants were refurbished by him). He has completed most of the IPP plants started by Obasanjo(halted by Yar'adua), and improved Transmission and Distribution facilities. The Gas facilities have also been markedly improved(this is actually the main reason for the improvements in Generation). Am also not sure you are really aware of the steps that have been taken so far in the Privatisation Programme by the government, most of which is essential for a liberalized Power Environment and which have been achieved during this admin: the formation of NERC board, formation of Bulk Trader, formation of the Asset Company, formation of the Gas Aggregator, unbudling of PHCN into 18 daughter companies, working out Power credits to intending investors in collaboration with some International Finance houses, Concessioning of the Transmission Company of Nigeria to a reputable International Energy utility company, formulation of a new investment learning Tariff Structure, Handling of Labour issues(though there are still some disagreements here) and of course the submission of bids strictly according to the time line. You just cant dismiss all these as due to "rainy season" and expect some of us that have been following the process to keep quiet.

Another wrong assumption is that this stance of some of us is due to Praise Singing. I do not Praise ANY human being. You will NEVER find that in any of my write ups. I have very high standards and know that much work still need to be done while acknowledging the "mess" we were in as a nation before now. However, as long as certain people have made it a duty to tell others that the President is not doing any thing and so distract people from really engaging the government's policies including constructively criticizing, it would be incumbent on some of us to counter these lies which will not do any of us any good. For instance, the only thing in the way of the full Liberalization of the Power Sector(which will be the most significant INFRASTRUCTURAL undertaking in the country's history) is the present disagreements between the "PHCN" workers an Government. In stead of Nigerians to put pressure on both the govt and labour that they should come to some kind of agreements and make it very clear to them that we will not accept any thing that will derail the process, some peple will nt allow 'see road' cos of their frivolous and unproductive criticisms.

You may want to go through this post: https://www.nairaland.com/1025483/new-list-president-goodluck-jonathans-achievements/5#11915524 . Even if you do not want to respond but at least you may be more aware of what is happening in the country.

Thanks.

@All,
What's your take on CORRUPTION?
A souped-up sports car leaking so much
fuel isn't likely to go far...
I'm quite sure a country wasting much
resources is in trouble, right?
If you become the captain of a very leaky
ship, in danger of sinking, what should your
first action be?
Providing plasma screens and pool tables
for the crew? Rehabbing the toilets?

For me,i got to shout out to three posters in this thread,@ taharqa(men,i loved your write-up and could not help but agree more,i have never seen a write-up more concise and pretty. @ihedinobi,you too much. You both took words outta ma mouth,thanks so much,and @taharqa,they won't respond,they suffer from a pathological urge to always criticize,whereas they are no better. @sessydool,respect your view but i don't agree with you in certain aspects. @kobojunkie,if you can,get a copy of the nation newspaper,dated july 17,2012, page 22,and read[b] the article by Gen Bakut(rtd)[/b]. It aint much but you can actually get an idea on the state of things in the power sector

You look me up and down na article by an old arse Gen Bakut(aka a nobody) I go come dey read for information on what is happening in the power sector? You sure dey dem never lobotomize you without your consent?

Look, if you have no idea where that number is from, stop posting it/STOP LYING~!

You have a morbid fear for truth. I believe that you are a staunch ACN liar and hater of Jonathan so I will use an ACN newspaper to prove you wrong.
Please review this link.

Jonathan's govt has generated 3,477 megawatts of electricity. It's a record in Nigeria's history.

You are a bloody mor0n . . . how did 4477MW equal 4700MW? undecided undecided undecided undecided If I no catch you, na so you for swell that number to 5000MW by next week. 4477MW happens to be about as much as Nigeria got even last year. But OH NO . . you just had to pull some extra megawatts from your arse on behalf of Jonathan, didn't you? undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided

@Op
You and the other clowns employed by the government always remind me of the earlier clowns we saw many years ago on "WHO THE CAP FITS" and "ONE MILLION MATCH".
Let the achievements speak for themselves. Fashola works doesn't need town criers to speak for them.

P.S Come let me employ you all to help me campaign for village Eze.
Re: New-List Of President Goodluck Jonathan's Achievements by Acelifted: 6:56am On Aug 24, 2012
I don't see the wisdom of itemizing, what should
otherwise be, the regular job of the President, as major achievements.
Major achievements should be acts which go beyond the call of duty and
which are performed with great distinction.

Sir, to date, this President is worse than a mediocre President. I'm
afraid he is too dumb to rule Nigeria successfully - I hope I am
wrong.

Its unfortunate that our political and ethnic sentiment has completely beclouded our sense of reasoning and good judgement. When will we grow? The enlightened should not be caught committing the sins of the ignorant and unenlightened![i][/i]
