10 Things Nigeria Has Done Better Under President Jonathan by KevD123: 7:26am On Jan 16, 2015
10 Things Nigeria has Done Better under President Jonathan

1. Primary Education: Basic school enrollment grew from 20 million to 30 million under President
Jonathan

2. Conduct of Elections: All Federally supervised elections under President Jonathan have been
adjudged by local and international stakeholders as relatively free, fair and credible.

3. Road Infrastructure Development: Percentage of motorable Federal Roads has increased from
50% to 83% under President Jonathan. Approximately 2,000km of roads were either built or
rehabilitated in 2013 alone – the highest ever in a single year

4. Railway Infrastructure Development: Approximately 1,500 km of rail lines rehabilitated and put
into operation after 15 years of being moribund. First standard gauge (modern) inter-city rail
line between Kaduna and Abuja completed – ranked in the top 100 infrastructure projects in the
world.

5. Food Production: A reduction of 380 billion Naira in annual food import in just two years due to
increased domestic production of staple foods

6. Women Inclusion: Highest and most effective involvement of women in Governance in Nigeria’s
history.

7. Eradication of Endemic Diseases: Guinea worm, previously affecting over 800,000 Nigerians
yearly, eradicated. Polio has been all but eradicated in Nigeria with cases dropping from 388 to
6 in 5 years and no new Polio virus transmissions in more than a year.

8. Privatization of Government Assets: The privatization of the power sector that had posed an
insurmountable challenge to previous governments was completed transparently under
President Jonathan. 350 billion Naira proceeds from the sale is 100 billion Naira more than was
realized from the previous sales of 122 government assets put together.

9. Fighting Corruption: With a strategic focus on preventing corruption before it happens, the
technology-enabled implementation of smart policies under President Jonathan has eliminated
many avenues for wholesale corruption in Nigeria, saving hundreds of billions of Naira yearly.

10. Electronic Government: 9.6 million farmers can access government services direct from their
mobile phones. 50 government services including passport and driving license applications
available online. Technology being deployed to curb pension, wages and petroleum products
fraud. No wonder Nigeria was awarded 1st in Africa in Government-Wide Implementation of IT
by the UN.

Okay. But meanwhile...
Dare to be a Nigerian
If you support PDP, you are paid to do so and apparently a thief;
But if you support APC, you are a patriot who is fighting for Nigeria.
If an APC governor award a km of road for N1.2billion, he is prudent
and God sent;
If a PDP governor award same km of road for N500million, he is a
thief.
If Fani Kayode joins PDP, he is bastard;
If Atiku joins APC, he is a democrat.
If Jonathan spends N7billion for his office par year, he is a criminal;
If Fashola spend same amount in a year, he is a saint.
If Akpabio approves N200Million as pension, he must be stoned;
If Fashola approved N300million for Tinubu he is a change agent.
If you cancelled toll gate as PDP government, you are an enemy of
progress;
But if you build a road in Lagos, with tax payers money and till the
road, you are genius.
If you increase school feed as PDP government, you must be crucified;
If you do same as APC government, there must be a reason, cuz
Education is not cheap anywhere in the world.
If you share Okada to the poor as PDP, you are poor peoples enemy;
If you ban Okada after election as an APC government, you are only
helping the poor to stay alive, so you mean well.
If you single handedly make your daughter a market woman leader in
APC state, it is for the progress of the people;
But if your wife is made a permanent secretary in your state by your
state government of PDP, you are a greedy fellow.
If you spend N16billion on electricity without power and then support
APC, you a navigator;
If you raise N500million through unbundling of same power, you are
clueless.
If you fail to pay your workers for a month, but in APC, it is not your
fault but someone up there;
But if you failed to pay your worker for a month and still in PDP, you
are wicked human being.
If you force your family, in-law and girlfriends as senators and
lawmakers on the rest of the party members, you a progressive leader;
But if you act like you don't care in PDP, you are dullard
If you tried to get a third term fraudulently by bribing the legislatures
but failed, then support APC, you are democrat and the father of the
nation;
If you try to get a constitutional second term in PDP, without their
blessings, you an ingrate and silly.
In their time we had Halliburton scandal, ID card scandal, Siemens
scandal, we have subsidy scam scandal, we have national stadium
contract scandal, we have health budget financial scam, aviation
sector scam, we had power sector scandal. How many people did he
jail to prove he fought corruption? Rather EFCC was his big stick
against his perceived enemies.
In their time we had a sitting governor kidnapped by a thug working
for the president. We had a whole region of the country rigged in
favor of his party. Morris Ibekwe, a wanted international fraud star
won election under PDP.
Those who stole Nigerians blind under PDP; Atiku, Obasanjo, Baraje,
Saraki, Wammako, Kwankwaso, Amaechi, Oyinlola, Segun Oni,
Okorocha, Ngige, Adeleke, El Rufai, etc, are today the same people
financing APC and calling for "CHANGE".
Flashback to 1999, who were these people? Billionaires ? They where
nobody. Today, they spend billions and no one dare to ask a question.
If you do you are enemy of progress.
They started with "New PDP" when that didn't fly, they joined a cult
group called ACN to become APC. Same character with different
name.
Sometimes it is better not to be a Nigerian than to be a confused and
ignorant one.
