Very nauseating when you hear that he is the best President we have ever had; how anyone could sleep in his/her bed comfortable in the knowledge that bare faced lies have been spewed to the nation. I just pray we can gently send him back to Otuoke in 2015.

But, he stopped queues at filling stations, he refurbished Lagos Kano Railway line, he resurfaced Benin Ofosu road, and of course, he did not die in office like Yar adua.

Nigeria has now become a full blown communist regime were lies, constant and repeated lies, propaganda, deceit, spread of fear and rumour mongering have now become official govt policies.
I watched Jonathan`s declaration in Abuja and Adams commemoration of his 6th year as Governor of Edo state. They both became Chief executives President of the FRN and Gov of Edo state at same time. The one in Abuja was like a beauty pageant whilst that in Benin was akin to a convocation ceremony of University of Harvard.
Such an occasion at Abuja could have been a celebration of achievements for a party that has been in power since 1999. It could have been a testimonial day for Goodluck who has been President since 2010. The highlights were the speech by the VP, which centred on his personal and working relationship with Jonathan.
Senate President Mark , someone noted for supporting any person in power and for his anti-democratic credentials and support for the annulment of June 12 election and his promise to kill MKO is power was handed to him, rambled and ended up endorsing Jonathan without mentioning a single achievement by Goodluck.
Akpabio recited a poem about transformation, he was not very sure of the script he memories, whether it was the transformation of Akwa Ibom or Nigeria. So he went ahead with the narration of transformation going on in the power sector and agric sector. That, Nigerians now enjoy electricity 24/7. That, agric for the first time in Nigeria is now business. Before GEJ, Agric was not business. It is strange to hear anyone saying that, Agriculture which is the oldest profession in the world and in Nigeria was not business until 2011. It is only in 2011 that, we as a nation started establishing, Agric faculties, colleges and Banks. Yet, facts and figures reveal that, Nigeria imports almost 70% of what we consume. Agric Items which were hitherto banned under Obasanjo`s regimes are now imported in full scale with govt subsidies and Tax exemption. Visit any of our local markets and departmental stores and see items on our shelves. 90% imported food items.
Muritala -Obasanjo Administration set up Operation feed the Nation, Shagari launched operation Green revolution. What has GEJ established? Nothing! He rather reversed all the policies of Obasanjo and today, Nigeria is importing 70% of our food needs. The Federal Govt has over 36 Federal Ministries. Such an event could have rolled out the palpable achievements of each of these Ministries or apart of Agric, the rest are ghost ministries?
Compared the Abuja carnival to the rally in Benin commemorating Adams 6 years in Power? Adams spoke for almost an hour without reading any prepared speech. His presented his testimonial and mentioned the state of affairs he met Edo State. He inherited Edo State, completely raped and rendered useless, hopeless, hapless and wrecked by the PDP after 8 years. He mentioned the roads, schools, hospitals he has constructed and could be verified.
Adams asked for PDP testimonials in Edo state? I will add PDP testimonial for Nigeria?
It pains my heart to hear so-called propagandists for GEJ making ugly noises and insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians. At one breath, Jonathan has performed better than all the ex president combined. When we asked them for any testimonies, they have none to show. When we probe further, they will tell you, under the circumstances he has tried, and he is doing his best if not of those who are sabotaging his efforts. When we asked who are those sabotaging him, they will either say the Northerners of APC. How are these two sabotaging him. They will either tell you they are criticizing him or supporting BH. When you asked if any of the Fed Govt policies, bills or requests has been stalled at the National Assembly like Obama is experiencing in the US? Is the Army, Police, Ministers and all the security agencies under the control of the opposition or critics?
Is Goodluck the first and only President to be criticized or confronted with security challenges in Nigeria or Africa?
Sometimes it is extremely painful to see the depth of the ignorance of Nigerians on how Govt works and the responsibilities, functions and duties of the President of the FRN. To be a President of Nigeria, is not by force. You pay 22 million naira pay for the party nomination, campaign and contest elections.
Every leader at least will point at something he bequeathed to his people. Tafawa Balewa might say, he constructed River Niger Bridge, Kanji dam and built world class universities in the 3 regions . Shagari might say we built Housing Estates, started the FCT Project and launched operation Green Revolution, IBB might say, l completed FCT and built ASO Rock, National Assembly complex, created new states, built 2 refineries. Gowon might say, l executed a civil war within 30 months and kept Nigeria one, built a modern state of Nigeria and ushered in prosperity which was rare for a country coming out of a civil war. We could look at the flyovers in Lagos and the numerous Express way across the nation. Abacha might say, if for anything, he restored the pride and honour of Nigeria is a great Force in Africa and the world. Nigerian Armed Forces were at the vanguard for the restoration of peace and constitutional rule in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Obasanjo might say, l pull Nigeria from its brinks and the woods, kept our restive military in the barracks and away from politics, kept Nigeria safe and handed over Nigeria intact, indivisible, strong and one nation to Yara Adua and Goodluck
Goodluck at least will take credit for the following;- building an industry of corruption in Nigeria; share, steal, loot and launder public resources with the instrumentality of the Presidency;, clueless leadership, divide Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines, ex militants and sponsors of terror groups being spokesperson of the Government and friends of the President, surrendering Nigeria to the hands of a cabal and criminals, the first president ever in our history to surrender Nigerian territories to invaders. The first president to voluntarily surrender territories of Nigeria bigger than the size of Togo and Ghana combined and with a population more than that of Benin Republic and Togo combined.
GEJ might also be the first President of Nigeria who will be a candidate for the Hague.

Albert, I normally dont respond to comments but for this I have to. I thank you for this. May God in his infinite mercies bless you abundantly. When I see comments like this, I get hope because the state of Nigeria right now is saddening. Unfortunately, a lot of our people are simple too sentimental, along religious and tribal lines to acknowledge the truth. I always avoid criticizing Jonathan, because as a Yoruba man and a Muslim, the first thing i will hear is “Yes you are all BH” or ” is it because he is not Yoruba”. Seriously, If Jonathan was my father, I will tell him he is a failure. Nigeria can do better–absolutely

BLAME MANY ELECTORATES WHO VOTED HIM INTO OFFICE AND THEY WILL DO SO IN 2015. FAILURE TO CHANGE THEIR VOTING PATTERN WILL RESULT IN MORE PUNISHMENTS FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS. HE DOES NOT GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THEIR SUFFERINGS AND THAT IS THE TYPE OF RULERS THEY LIKE. SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUTH THEIR PLIGHT IS ALWAYS REJECTED. HIS TRIBE AND IT’S LEADER EDWIN CLARK , DOKUBO ASARI ARE PROMISING HELL IN 2015 IF HE LOSES THE ELECTION. IF OPPOSITION WINS NEXT YEAR, COMMOM SENSE REVOLUTION PREVAIL BUT IF GOODLUCK WINS NO COMMON SENSE REVOLUTION PREVAIL (ASIWAJU TINUBU).BREAK-UP IS CERTAIN IN THE LONG RUN NOT IN 2015 BUT WE WILL START WITH AUTONOMY BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. IT IS GOING TO BE WROUGH FOR ORDINARY NIGERIANS DUE TO OIL PRICE IN THE WORLD MARKET.
2015 ELECTION MOTTO WILL BE ” IT’S JONATHAN STUPID”

Albert said the minds of Nigerians on the current situation Nigeria find
herself in, yes absolutely true!
The question is Where do we go from here’.
Truth exult a nation! But our foundation is built on
falsehood!
Until and unless revert to the path of justice and truth,
we as well nation will continue to chase, most unsuccessfully, after peace and development. Individuals like Jonathan will continue to lead!
2015 elections offers the golden chance for a new beginning, when if we get our acts together we can start to reconstruct Nigeria and move her in the path of
greatness.
Albeit, if we miss it this time, it will spell doom and lead to unmitigated disaster
never seen in human history!
Will Nigeria prove wrong the prophecy of breaking up in 2015?
Those who love Nigeria are praying to God to help us survive as a nation
let us hope God will answer the prayers of the elects and righteous on and for Nigeria!

OrlandoOwoh:

Certainly the worst since 1999. The problem is that too many Nigerians are sentimental, ethnocentric, prejudiced and religiously biased when they would be in better control of their own destiny if they were objective critical thinkers able to deal with facts and reality dispassionately. It is only when we do this, i.e shun sentiments completely to face facts/reality, that we gain the clarity to see and support genuinely transformational leaders into power.

The truth is that Jonathan has taken Nigeria backwards in regards to our perennial major problems. I.e the problems the entire universe know is responsible for the lack of development of Nigeria and other third world countries. This is why, worldwide, GEJ is now known as a President who majors in the minors i.e talk up and praise entirely rubbish actions as "achievements" while he has failed woefully in regards to tackling the major problems of Nigeria that has ailed us for decades to ensure we are a poverty-stricken and grossly underdeveloped nation despite our potentials. Suffice to say GEJ must leave if Nigeria is to stand a chance of beginning a march towards progress and greatness.

Dis article will never see d light of d day

OrlandoOwoh:

Yet he's better than your uncle OBJ. Hausas/Fulanis can go ahead and set their house ablaze we don't give a fvck.
Those we promised to make this country ungovernable should wait and eat the fruit of there labour.

OrlandoOwoh:

Forgive him. Deprivation, poverty and lack of exposure can do that to anyone. This why there are so many Nigerians living in prehistoric conditions yet still happy to continue " suffering and smiling" while even supporting their oppressors and tormentors as the chap you quoted is doing. GEJ, without any doubt, has taken Nigeria backwards horribly and far more than any other since 1999. This is the truth any honest and pragmatic Nigeria, even if a direct brother of GEJ, will admit.

This article reminds me of Gowon, he was in a similar as Jonathan today, high oil price and an on going war but Gowon was able to achieve a lot, in fact almost all federal roads, rails, universities and many more way built under Gowon. What is gej's excuse?

The fourth guy (albert)comment is what most nigerians need to read and understand. Gej and pdp have nothing good to offer to this country, even if they are given another 16 yrs to rule.

Deiok:

You're right. His comments were spot on and a truthful take on reality and the state of affairs today. Too much sentiments, prejudice, division and bigotry today in the land called Nigeria.

Goodluck at least will take credit for the following;- building an industry of corruption in Nigeria; share, steal, loot and launder public resources with the instrumentality of the Presidency;, clueless leadership, divide Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines, ex militants and sponsors of terror groups being spokesperson of the Government and friends of the President, surrendering Nigeria to the hands of a cabal and criminals, the first president ever in our history to surrender Nigerian territories to invaders.

GEJ might also be the first President of Nigeria who will be a candidate for the Hague.

I pray for Nigeria my country, that GOD in his infinite mercy should forgive us all our sins and answer our prayer by powering us to elect a good leaders with a good visions for us coming 2015.

We need a good leader with a good visions and a good heart, someone that is ready and ready to lead us right, one man alone is not enough to make this country great, is a collective effort from all our leader and the followers that can make Nigeria great, to do that we all need to vote right by electing good people from our Ward, Local government - Presidency either APC or PDP or Any Party, what we need are good leaders with good visions.

May GOD continue to protect us and be with us and provide for all our needs as country and individual, our major needs right now are good leaders (Muslim or Christian,- Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa, - From North,South,East or West, - Female or Male).

In December, PDP will hold its convention again where GEJ will be ratified as flag bearer. If you guys like, tell your military wing Boko Haram to go murder civilians or abduct young girls again. Rubbish!!! [/size]
