I’ll Perform Better In 2013 — Jonathan


President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, asked Nigerians to expect a more improved outing for the country in 2013, and said that by next year, his government was determined to bring desired changes on security, power, aviation and other areas of national life.

Speaking at the Presidential Christmas Carol held at the Banquet Hall of the presidential villa, Jonathan enjoined Nigerians to avoid the things that would lead to division of the country and embrace unity and peaceful co-existence.

The president said, “I urge Nigerians to, in the spirit of Christmas, embrace peace. The wars will not save us. Christ brought peace to free everybody. If we embrace peace, we will progress. We have challenges, but we have everything in place to overcome them.

“In the New Year, we will see the changes in the airports, seaports, power and security as we progress. Surely, 2013 will be a better year for the country”.

In his sermon, Bishop of Ogbia Diocese, James Oruwari who admonished Nigerians to eschew bitterness and love their enemies, added that God will manifest in the life of any believer who shows love to his neighours and forgives them.

2013 seems the appropriate time to assess and pass judgment on Jonathan's achievements if any, most of the government short and medium term intervention in all the sectors he mentioned ought to come to fruition by then.

Though the challenges are enormous, things can only get better...

Indeed. In fact, embarrassingly, Nigeria is the one of the very few Countries that springs to my mind, in this day and age, where an apprentice is put in charge of the workshop only for the people to then be expecting miracles. I am ashamed, as a frequent traveller throughout Africa, to note how Nigerians are badly lacking in political sophistication in comparison to others despite our noise.

GEJ will do nothing of note in 2013 simply because he does not have the intelligence, will, sincerity, ability, sagacity or morals to lead at the level he 'luckily' finds himself in. His situation is a damning indictment of the aberration Nigeria is whereby any charlatan can become President because issues remains about a few Oligarchs and "owners of Nigeria" protecting their loot and continued 'livelihood' while the majority go to blazes. The opposite is becoming the norm everywhere with issues revolving more around what is best for the masses.

We should stop fooling ourselves in Nigeria and note why other African Nations are making progress. They have simply stopped gambling with very important offices and are now playing safe going for proven performers with a verifiable history of solutions provision. We let wicked men like OBJ, Anenih et al package a total mediocrity for us only to then be expecting a miracle. I want to cry for Nigeria sometimes when I see, with my own eyes, what obtains in many African Countries we vacuously claim to be superior to with our "giant of Africa" delusions. African leaders are increasingly becoming very, very sophisticated because the bar is being raised in many Africa nations currently. Only the "giant of Africa" wants to remain bucking that trend with it's callous, myopic and greedy ruling class.

There's no gainsaying the fact that GEJ is at a crossroad of perception but hope you'll be magnanimous enough to give him some credit if he truly leaves up to his words...

The coming year will give us the chance to really know if the administration is performing at all cos a lot of balls had been set rolling in 2012, so lets see what the outcome will be in 2013.

Till then.

But based on statistics which in itself is based on his past record, I doubt if there really will be any surprises.

If he really wanted to do anything worthy of note, he should be working on his plans and not ranting to the whole public, infact with his rant it will only get worse for him, because he will be held accountable for his words.

Besides, all in all, it shows the masses have lost interest in their president, his words just dont count again.

Re: I'll Perform Better In 2013 - Jonathan by Nobody: 10:02am On Dec 14, 2012
It's so exciting to note that while the HATERS continue to HATE, Jonathan has continued to IMPRESS and DELIVER.

1) Nothing excites me more than the privatisation of PHCN that is almost being concluded by this govt. For me, this is the most important achievement of the GEJ administration. 24hrs power supply is around the corner. Some of us now see more days of 24hrs non-stop public power supply.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/12/phcn-fg-shifts-ground-agrees-to-pay-off-54000-staff/

2) Another exciting transformation is the massive rehabilitation of the rail transport system. Only few days ago, it was reported that the Lagos-Kano rail line has been completed and tested, and ready to take-off 20th of this month.
This will add to the numerous other rail routes that have been rehabilitated and put to use including the Lagos-Illorin rail line and other intra-city railway services. Other corridors currently under serious construction include eastern corridor(Enugu-PH-north), Abuja-Kaduna(fast rail line), Itapke-Ajaokuta-Warri(fast rail line).
The implication of reviving the rail transport cannot be over-emphasised, including reduced cost of transportation, reduced price of food items, safer transport, longer life span of our roads,etc

http://www.punchng.com/news/lagos-kano-mass-transit-train-service-begins-dec-20/

3) What about the massive re-building of 11 airports in Nigeria, including the one Enugu, Owerri, Benin,Lagos,etc The completed ones are simple beautiful to behold. When the 11 airports currently under re-construction are completed, reconstruction will begin immediately in the remaining 11 airports under FAAN. Also part of the aviation master plan of this govt is total over-haul of the institutions in the industry(done already), creationof a national carrier, building of aero-tropolis, building of 5 new international terminals in 5 airports, including Enugu. If thisis not transformation, tell me what it is.

4) The education sector has alsoreceived serious attention in terms of infrastructural upgrade. The federal unity schools are being rehabilitated in phases, Almajiri schools are being built to cater for the over 11million out of school children in the north, the higher institutions are recieving more funds than ever this time,etc Also important is the creation of 9 new federal universities in Ebonyi, Jigawa, Gombe, Ekiti, Bayelsa, Kogi,etc In fact, some ofthe brand new universities, including federal university Kashere, Gombe has commenced operation providing access to higher education for locals and employment.

http://www.universitiesnews.com/2012/08/10/nigeria-fg-increases-funding-to-universities-others-by-over-40-percent/

5) Significant progress is being made in terms of road construction. In the last 1 to 2yrs, 11 inherited(most abandoned) road projects, were COMPLETED, including: Vom-Manchok road (Plateau State), Yola-Numan road (Adamawa State), Gombe Bye-pass (Gombe State), KadunaRefinery road (Kaduna State), Kano-Daura-Mai Adua road (Katsina State), Aba-Owerri road(Abia State), Onitsha-Owerri road (Anambra State) and Oyo-Ogbomosho road (Oyo State).
Massive work is ongoing in various other highways in the 6 geo-political zones, including ongoing dualisation of Abuja–Abaji–Lokoja Road, Kano–Potiskum–Maiduguri Road; the Benin–Ore–Shagamu Expressway; the Onitsha–EnuguExpressway; and the construction of the Loko–Oweto bridge( across River Benue), East-West road,etc

http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/newsextra/60567-govt-to-complete-enugu-onitsha-expressway-soon.html
We expect ACTUAL construction of 2nd Niger bridge to commence in 2013.
Failure to build 2nd Niger Bridge is the ONLY thing that can make me stop supporting GEJ. Enugu-PH road is currently undergoing rehabilitation to make it motorable, pending when full re-construction will commence. Lagos-Ibadan expressway is currently recieving similar attention.
