kaorama: Yar'dua was a silently corrupt. Ibori who is languishing in UK prison today was his close associate. He deceptively removed Ribadu from EFCC and took media houses who reported abt his healthj to corut. GEJ is far better

ehie: yaradua gave us fuel for 60 naira instead of 65,Gej gave us for 100 naira and it still aint enuf...plus the fact that his police killed people for that fact,any frigging contest?i do not think so

ARES:
Once a creature comes to a public forum and writes something this long in defence of a government that is so inept, that creature has sold his soul, mortgaged the lives of his kids and will be ready to sell his mother for money.

Knowledge9000: [b]I can say confidently that most of the people saying that Yar'Adua was better are the same naive, gullible individuals who voted for Jonathan while Buhari was a formidable option. Like they didn't expect Jonathan to be a failure. Trust me, go and check their voter's registration record or click on their Username and see their past posts during 2011 election...make sure you click their username and read their past posts during the 2011 election before attacking me as I have done this. Useless swines. The same id$iots will bypass Buhari again in 2015 and vote for another Retardeen and cry corruption, fuel scarcity, e.t.c. Some of us need to be dealt with mercilessly until we can say...I know the right thing to do. Here we have man like Buhari, who took out loans ( borrowed money from Bank) in the 80s and 90s to build the houses he owns in Abuja and Kaduna. Had he borrowed these monies, let's say 5 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago, then it would have been suspicious, as though he is trying to fuss himself as a righteous man. But he took out these loans more than 20yrs ago not knowing that he would be looked up to today as the ONE. This shows the kind of man he his. [/b]

ehie: u think u are funny...funny thing is that...Death is knocking at ur door,but like a fool u dont even know it and am laughing at u..DYCKHEAD

My friend, you dont have to tell us you'r from Niger delta or wherever. It is immaterial, even if you'r from Ghana. And for the fact that you did that, it makes your submission very suspicious. How can we confirm you'r from the Niger delta even if we want to go that route? You'r not a prophet that we can believe whatever you'v stated here as the truth.
Initially I didn't want to engage in this childish comparison but I changed my mind to avoid some mischief makers and depraved minds misleading children on this forum. If we sincerely want to compare two different govt, we should do that using parameters to measure the performance. It is not enough for political jobbers and depraved minds to say GEJ is better or Yar Adua is better. Lets take the parameters that matter one after the other
1) Elections: were our elections better organised during Yar Adua or GEJ. The Ekiti re-run election done under Yar Adua was a disaster. Every right thinking person will agree that elections under GEJ are better
2) Security: for me it worsened under GEJ SOLELY because of boko haram. But Yar Adua started boko haram when under his regime, the leader of boko haram was extra-judicially killed. During the Yar Adua period, there was also rampant kidnapping and all sorts of atrocities we see now
3) Power supply: Yar Adua stopped all the power projects started by OBJ. The construction of those power infrastructure only began again when GEJ came to power. Power supply is definitely better under GEJ
4) Aviation: our airports infrastructure and other aspect of aviation have definitely faired better under GEJ
5) Education: it should be remembered that it was under Yar Adua, when Sam Egwu was education minister, that our universities were shut for several months. Definitely, without iota of doubt, education is better under GEJ
5) Corruption: it was under Yar Adua that the EFCC and its leadership then, Ribadu, was completely dismantled. In the exact words of Ribadu "corruption took over the EFCC in 2007". The GEJ govt has re-focused the EFCC to a much better institution now. There is lot of exposure of corruption under GEJ- subsidy thieves, pension thieves,etc. I rate the incumbent slightly better in this regard
5) rail transport: definitely better under GEJ
6) road construction: i cant recall any major road re-construction or rehabilitation that took place under Yar Adua. It was under Yar Adua that Dieziani, as then minister of works, wept at the Benin-Ore road but still nothing was done on that road. I rate GEJ far far better
7) press freedom: media houses were hounded and sometimes closed under Yar Adua. I recall vividly that Gbenja Arulegba, the presenter of Focus Nigeria on AIT was forced out of the screen by the Yar Adua foot solders. The press is far far freer under GEJ
POINT 8: job creation: can anyone remind us of any direct job creation programmes under Yar Adua? I cant recall any. Under GEJ we had YOUWIN programme to empower 1,200 entrepreneurs annually, the women and youth empowerment scheme meant to employ 370,000 persons annually,etc I rate GEJ better

onatisi: na wah ooooo . gej no dey get votes here ooo

KnowAll: [size=16pt]This time ladies and gentlemen give your votes to Buhari. The 74 Year old man would not steal your money, what does he want to do with power. Jo-Boy and his cronies has given governance their best shot, I must say thus " they are better than Yardua" whose(yardua's) regime allowed the country to be swaying rudderlessly all over the place, the treasury became the purvey of court-throats, undesirables, and fraudsaters like James Ibori who were playing to the gallery. Yes GEJ regime is better than Yar-dull, but Buhari would be a million times better than these chartalans, pretenders and bench-warmers in power.[/size]

oluface: UNCLE PLEASE TELL US A STOWI... STORY STORY... (STORYYYYYYY)

Kewt: Yaradua

-Demonstrated that he had a mind of his early in his administration by reversing some anti-people policies of the immediate Govt which he happens to be a beneficiary of. Reversal of petrol from N70 to N65.. Release of Lagos withheld funds..Reversal of sale of refineries to friends and cronies of immediate past administration.
-Had a clear vision and economical blueprint emasculated in the 7 point agenda
-Maintained and grew foreign reserves from $36B to $45B.
-Declared his assets on assumption of office
-Demonstrated commitment in solving the niger delta menace by creating ministry of niger delta
-Less corruption as less than N350NB was paid as subsidy in 2009
-Less interest in globe trotting and only embarks on religious pilgrimages or health trips
-Demonstrated free-ness when he openly announced his unwillingness to appeal should the supreme court rule against him on the elections that brought him to power
-Started the electoral reforms which he promised in his electoral speech
-Showed prudency and left more than N9b in the coffers of Kastina state govt after ruling for 8 yrs
-Built more roads in Kastina than any other state govt since inception
-Was never mentioned by EFCC as having a case to answer while he was governor of Kastina state
-Bode George was convicted and sentenced under his administration
-No fuel scarcity during his tenure despite that fuel sold for N65/litre pump price


Jonathan

-Has no mind of his. Always openly manipulated by his handlers.
-No clear vision of development or agenda for country’s growth only transformation and fresh air.
-Depleted foreign reserves by sharing same to governors in a bid to secure their support for his 2011 presidential ambition
-Was forced to declare his assets as vice president and openly admitted he does not not give a damn as president.
-Highest level of monumental corruption under his watch. Subsidy payment grew from N350B during Yaradua/OBJ tenure to close to N1 trillion and from about 15 licensed
companies to more than 100.
-Always globe trotting for every form of world occasion which included the world head of govt summit where Nigeria had the largest number of delegates
-Has always been cunny, desperate and power drunk. Bribing over 5,000 PDP delegates with $7,000 each during 2011 convention to beat Atiku, and His body language towards 2015 lays credence to this fact.
-No reasonable achievement can be traceable to him during his stay as Bayelsa Governor.
-He and his wife were accused of corruption by EFCC while he was Governor. Case file is now missing with no traces or links.
-No known criminal however small has been convicted under his administration. Alameseigha is a constant figure in Aso Rock and Tony Anenih sits as the chairman of NPA despite alleged fraud when he was minister of works. Several ministers in his govt have been accused of corruption without he doing anything about it.
-Misled Nigerians by claiming his fight aginst corruption is only second to that of US and that Nigeria under his watch attained 3rd postion in the fight against corruption.
-Failure to take a stand on the Farouk/Otedola mess which is still hanging without balance till today. (Otedola is also a regular face in Aso rock and is alleged to be a friend of Mr President)
-Unpecedented and high level of loss of lives and properties without he taking any decisive step. Instead, he keeps making unguarded statements like.. Terrorism is everywhere in the world, We should pray that behind BH should have a change of mind etc
-Keeps forming committee upon committee without any visible progress.
-Fuel scarcity despite buying fuel at between N110 and N120/litre.
-Penchant for excesses and wastages; N1b per day for food, N20B for purchase and maintenance of presidential jets, N16B for vice presidents lodge in Aso rock, N2B for Banquet hall etc


Summary
A reasonable ground for comparison is Motives and Antecedents.

While I will score Yaradua high on his motives and intention for Nigeria, GEJ scores abysmally low on that.

On antecedents while they were both Governors, Yaradua still beats GEJ hands down again.

All records are verifiable.

These are my thoughts.
