Things That GEJ Has Done In Your City/state In 2 Years by taharqa: 10:40pm On Jan 24, 2013
In the last two years or so, these are some of the changes that have happened in Benin City/Edo State under GEJ:

- Significant improvements in public power supply in Benin City for almost a year of an average of 18 hrs a day (except for few times when there are national systems problems), much more than I have ever enjoyed in Nigeria except perhaps when I was a kid (and I am in my 20's).

- The fixing of the ever notorious Benin-Ore Road, which has been almost complete finally after more than a decade of terrible experiences on that road such that it became routine to sleep on the road while travelling cos of the terrible traffic on bad spots Or having to pass through 'unknown' routes in different states before getting to Lagos. Presently one can get to Lagos in 3-4 hrs.

- The Remodelling/Reconstruction of the Benin Airport, an Airport that was an eye sore, a DISGRACE cos it had not undergone any major renovation since it was built over 25 years ago even though successive Govts had been appropriating money for it. Today, the airport has been completely re-made and expanded in 1 year.

- The coming back into operation of the moribund Oredo Oil/Gas field[/b] after many years, and [b]the building of a new Gas plant which would not only supply Gas to the newly built Ihovbor Power plant, plus other plants and LPG.

- The completion of a new 450MW Ihovbor/Benin Power plant that is in the pre-commissioning state presenting. The 1st in the state.

- The Resuscitation of the critical Benin Depot after 5 years of inactivity. A very important development Edo State such that Gov Oshiomohle was ecstatic and was very liberal in his praise for the development.

- The recovery of the washout in along the Auchi-Okene Road in Edo state.

- The supply of Fertilizers and seeds to more farmers than at any time in a very long time through the GES programme of the FG in collaboration with the State Govt.

- And in one of the most obvious, better Election Systems that have enabled us to elect pour leaders ourselves. Comparing the 2007 Elections when Anenih and his Gang prevented us the opportunity to elect our choice in a display of Brazen Rigging supported by The FG, and 2012 when the choice of the people was reflected in the best State elections probably in the history of the state. The difference is that 2007 was pre-GEj and 2012 was GEJ's. Etc, etc , etc.


These are some of the few I can recall at this time; there are obviously others including ongoing ones. There are however still some promises that have not been met.

I personally have never been able to point to these many No of projects done (or been done) in Benin/Edo State by any previous Federal Govt within this short 2 yr period. And the GREAT thing is that there is still about 2.5 yrs left....

~Resurrection of the Nigeria Railway (oshogbo terminal)
~Dualization of Oshogbo,Ikirun - Kwara boundary(hoping the state gov would be paid back I.e. It's a federal road)

~Power supply has forever being constantly stable(23.5hr/day) in the state capital, that's not his making.

~increment of gas price from #97 to #120
~Apointing a dude(Oyinlola) who's battling with the present administration over #18billion loan he took while in office(as the governor) to build a laughable six world class stadia(with only 2 still close to completion), as the national secretary of the self claimed Africa's largest party.
~He promised an airport while campaigning, with no traces of any construction starting soon(bare land)

The truth is that federal govt projects are usually spread apart, such that except you look out for them you may think nothing is happening. This is unlike state govt who may become messiah after tarring 3 or more 2centimetre long inner city roads.

For want of time, let me quickly list the ones I can remember now.

In Anambra state:

1) re-construction and expansion of Bridge-head to upper Iweka section of the Enugu-Onitsha express road

2) completion of the Onitsha-Owerri road

3) building of Onitsha inland port (N4 billion worth project)

4) building of federal secretariat- still ongoing, to be completed this yr

5) building of Zik Mausoleum

6) Supporting the state govt all the way until the state became an all producing state. Definitely, an OBJ in Aso would have found a way of killing or delaying that project.

7) Provision of huge funds for infrastructural upgrade of the state university- Anambra state university. It was one of the 12 universities that recieved N25 billion intervention fund late last yr.

There's are some intra-state roads, erosion control sites,etc that are also ongoing. More may be added to the list later


The ones I can remember in Enugu state for now include:

1) The improved power supply. I'm a living testimony of this achievement. In fact na dis one sweet my belle pass

2) The Enugu-Abia-PH-North rail line: still ongoing

3) The Enugu-PH road is being made motorable. The section from Enugu down was already completed the last time I travelled on the road. The return section was still ongoing then. Many other FG roads recieved similar attention under "operation safe passage".

As I remember more projects, I'll them to the list

Gej is one president who declared state of emergency on federal roads and is doing well.....have u passed through lokoja-abuja road?.......onithsa~enugu road?.....rivers~akwa ibom road? BEnin~ore? To mention a few.
what about the refurbishment of airports and efforts to boost air travel by giving incentives to operators?
what about relatively transparent elections?
Gej is the only Nigerian President who listens to the masses and often put himself in the shoe of his led. Recently he was @ the police college to find out things as reported by channel....if we are sincere we would know Jonathan means well for Nigeria and if other leaders acted like him...Nigeria wouldnt be here today..

It is you who is a f.oo.l at 40, those kids you call kids reason better than you old for nothing.

He went to police college and the next thing he did was to set up a panel to know why it 'rot' (when he already knows why it's like that) instead of getting a contractor to get it fixed. Even my 5yr old girl will not reason that way, excuse me joor.
