Sincere 9gerian: While HATERS are HATING, Jonathan continues to DELIVER and IMPRESS:

POINT 8: Progress is also being made in the petroluem sector. The PIB, a comprehensive law tooverhaul and reform Nigeria's oil and gas sector, is already with the NASS. The committee charged to release a white paper on the road map to revitalizing existing refineries is currently at work. The nations moribund pipelines and fuel depots are being rehabilitated and RESTORED nationwide. For instance the Aba NNPC depot has been RESTORED (after 10 solid years of being shut down) and currently ensuring steady supply of petroluem products tothe south-eastern states. The Jos NNPC deport has also been RESTORED. Other deport RESTORED include Minna, Kano and Gusau. Work is ongoing to restore the Enugu deport and then Benue deport. The opening up of these depots explains why there isn't much difference in prices of petrol between Lagos and these areas even in this period of scarcity. The subsidy payment system is being cleaned up as much as possible and the shock of the clean-up is causing fuel scarcity in some cities. Hopefully, when the system is totally cleaned-up, the scarcity will disappear. Ultimately, the govt intends to de-regulate the sector.

PIB bill has not being passed, so it is not an achievement. Does the president not have enough goodwill to pass this bill quickly considering its importance to Nigeria? Its 19 months now and the bill has not been passed, but 165 billion to subsidize fuel in December month alone was passed in NASS within 3 days. He is using his presidential goodwill on 'hammering' money to build war chest for 2015.

The main reason your president is disliked now by Nigerians is because he is spending like the monarch an oil rich a gulf arab state, while the majority of the population lives in poverty. If you are in his team, you better inform him. That is the main reason for his unpopularity among Nigerians.

There is no two ways to it. If a President wants to live like an Arab Prince, by all means, his population should have the same income levels as Dubai and Qatar. If this is not the case, some level of conservatism is needed.

BEAF, your grave awaits you! Stop lying

Please tell me how our situation has gone worse under GEJ? yes, he isnt performing as expected, but the dude is trying men. You repeat a class because you faill to read for some hours, for you to pass through that class, you will spend another year. This is a standard law of life. Nigerians are hardly positive minded, But that is where the country's repair his, In our mind. Focus on those announced project of his, and criticize him based on that, coz, if u ask me, i will tell you electricity is the key to a good economy. And that he is doing what he and his team would do.
Please we are too young to get our minds negative, unless you as old as Buhari, Obasanjo and co. Sit down and look, assess, manage and confirm your opinion, this is how we know that the youths in the system will drive NIGERIA forward.

You talked about all these below
Social amenities
Yes we need social amenities, and its the duty of the government to produce it for us, and also our duty to protect the amenities and maintain it. Let me start by asking, How many of us remembers the last time he/she paid nepa bill, instead you sort officials. Dont litter the ground, yet you flip that pure water or whatever case may be on the road. Get a drivers license, instead you meet a local scam for it. The walk over bridges in lagos, how many time do people use it? not untill they are forced. We can make the provide social amenities, but we are not ready to carry out our civil rights in protecting and maintainig them. (Lagos is enough example

The Girl On the street
Its sad that some "i dont care" parents brought them to this world, and left the innocent girl on the street, but the government didnt give birth to her, the society did. where the society is the govt and society is made up of you and I. yet they will try to accommodate her. Its not a Nigerian issue alone, infact it happens in all countries of the world.

My point is
The Government can provide if we honestly want them to provide, not by saying all these on Nairaland, But in action. But are we ready to carry out our civil right? The other day i read an article about some one who cant talk about his wealth, and someone in that forum said, what is peoples buisness for asking. he might have stolen tax payers money, killed someone and stole his property. Our civil duty is to get the right authorities to investigate his wealth. And that is how we can move forward.

Not correct sir/ma. GEJ is not unpopular among Nigerians. He may be unpopular with you and a few disgruntled party faithfuls and ethic war-lords on NL. If you conduct transparent election today, GEJ will sweep the polls(except in far north and boko haram dens for obvious reasons). Dont forget that PDP did well in the last local council polls in Lagos(the headquater of ACN)

banki: I don't support mediocrity I felt like crying for this country this morning because news headlines on both print and television were filled with stories of outright stealing corruption kidnapping,as I drove to my office I saw fuel queues here in Abuja, different taughts came into my mind but I stopped thinking the moment I noticed one of the billion naira security solar paneled CCTV none working cameras
I smiled and told my self that one day the real enemies of Nigeria would be exposed, mr eleume and sincere Nigerian can you guys honestly honestly tell yourself that all is well if you had a company or you were a shareholder in a company that isn't doing well and you appoint good luck Jonathan as md CEO would you sincerely say with all the resources available to him you would give him a passmark....
I don't celebrate mediocrity I want leadership that inspires good luck doesn't inspire me, I want leadership that is purposeful good luck is confused and obviously lacks purpose I want leadership that is sincere and with all due respect mr president is the most insincere public figure I've seen all my life.
It's your job to paint the presidency as working but it's my job as the citizen on the street to judge, I repeat with the kind of money available to mr president with the kind of human resources available mr president is a gross failure
And almost every sane Nigerian would agree with this fact

I quite disagree sir. why? because you gave him a project After his tenure we will asses his achievement against his failures and determine, whether he is a failure or not. However, he isnt a failure, yet, he isnt a success. if he is in phase of delivering success, we will never know, if otherwise we wont know. Lets just keep finger cross and see him dance his dance, we will tell him if he dancing shamefully or otherwise.

Wrong. GEJ can never win Lagos state again. I know that he won the last time, because i voted and walked around my neighbourhood too to see what the results looked like. All the talk of Tinubu 'delivering' lagos to GEJ is rubbish. GEJ won Lagos fair and square. The same people in my area who voted for Fashola, voted for GEJ. Lagosians are sophisticated like that.

The southerners voted for GEJ because he was a sympathetic figure being railroaded by the North. Some also bought into his narrative about being a poor fisherman's son that was elevated to the corridors of power. Nigerians by their psyche, love such narratives. We like things like 'good luck' and 'prayers' and 'fate' . That is why most Nigerians hope to 'hammer' one day....not through hard work or pereverence, but by fate.

Back to the topic: It's not the 19 months of corruption, waste of resources, and little infrastructural improvement, as well as unemployment that has changed opinion of Nigerians. We all know that the rot started before GEJ. What is pissing us off is that there is this:

NO CHANGE

No change in corruption, no change in unemployment, no change in infrastructural development...and then to add salt to injury, GEJ spends money and borrows like no mans business. Almost 10 billion for maintaning 10 planes. Almost 10 billion for Vice president's house. 2.2 billion for reception hall in aso Rock. 1.2 billion for food. 165 billion for subsidy money in december alone?

Haba?

Thank you. My brother. Nigeria has degenerated to the point where what should be routine rehabilitation of Airports is to be listed as presidential achievement. Airports that were built by other regimes...some within 3 or four years.

What many people do not know is that we are making more money from oil right now than during the so-called oil boom. The roads they are half heartedly patching over now were largely built by Gowon with the so-called oil boom.

We are using oil money now to service and run 10 jets as presidential fleet, while the WHOLE Nigeria of 140 million uses less than 70 planes.

We are using oil money to build banquet hall of 2.2 billion.

We are devoting 165 billion Naira to support so-called subsidy for December ALONE, which we all know is a fraud.
