the root cause is that there is no genuine love for the progress of the country by these politicians. I believe in commendation and constructive criticisms when you say I have done bad, you should be able to tell me how I should have done good, and when I do good, I should be commended. But politics in Nigeria is 'its either we rule or we tear the nation apart'
who suffers in the long run?

If at all, none of the meagre successes of GEJ can justify the amount of theft and cluelessness of that govt. Please the writer should deal with that.
Using subsidy removal as an example, the argument now is different from those of 4 yrs ago. Now, it is glaring that with the fall in oil prices, removal of subsidy would not hurt the populace.
In the 2012 scenario, the argument was that removal would create money to fund infrastructure with the creation of SUREP. Please show us the infrastructure financed with the 50% removal (remember, subsidy was party removed) other than private constructions by the subsidy thieves and their acolytes including Thisday journalists like the writer of the editorial. Don't also forget the manner of the removal; crude was selling at record high yet those that travelled to villages were left stranded as a result of sudden pice changes.
Why dose he needs to list out the roads when Fashola said it himself undecided
Has Fashola denied the statement?

GEJ and his administration recorded some successes without a doubt but there is nothing outstanding there - they were simply doing their jobs and serving the masses as they were supposed to. I recall great progress in the Agric sector as well. Kudos to the said administration for these successes.

Having said that, the same administration does not deserve forgiveness for presiding over the greatest looting spree in the history of this great country. May Allahu punish every single one of those involved in the monumental looting. May they rot in prison, Ameen.

I'll try my possible best to sound nice as i try to school you out of your self-induced ignorance

on your first point: the GEJ admin used to tell nigerians before it was voted out but the opposition as at then rubbished it as a sham. now the same opposition (in the mould of FASHOLA) as of then which is now the ruling party which now has all the organs of state to investigate and verify these claims have come out to confirm them and even went further to acknowledge that the feat of the past admin is the highest so far in nigerias history. are you trying to tell us you now know more than those that are there or FASHOLA who would have loved ythe story to be false is the one telling the lie. and not just the minister in the person of fashola said it the minister of state repeated same lines.

on your second point: the narrative would have even favoured nigerins in 2012 than 2016. oil price was high which means more money for government but with subsidy it meant more money for subsidy that could ahve been saved as gains.

on your last point: you must be living in mars for you not to know what the sure-p funds was used for,lemme highlight a few
1)the revival of the railways which Amaechi acknowledged
2)the construction of the benin-ore expressway
3)i have friends who got employed under the sure-p graduate internship scheme GIS and the youth work programme
these are just a few of many

conclusion: if inded you are unconsciously ignorant in your judgement then i'll suggest yo take out time to study more on a topic and not base your judgements on hearsays cos you might just passionately judge an innocent person as guilty. and i dont pray someone judges you like that either

happy new year

God bless you

[b] People can tolerate incompetence but not weakness - Albert Camus

GEJ lost the 2015 election because of (a) his weakness and (b) APC's mastery of propaganda

GEJ was a weak man politically, OBJ had abandoned him and he was from a minority tribe. He was desperate for a second term and was willing to let anything slide if he could get some favour. He pardoned Al Mustapha, stopped the case against the Abachas, couldn't deal with Abba Moro (David Mark's godson) or anybody else. He probably knew Dasuki was playing with our money but he didn't want to go against a prince of the caliphate. He even broke bread with Ali Modu Sheriff, the original Mr. Boko Haram, just to win favour.. The Boko Haram wahala even made matters worse
In the end he failed, because trying to please everybody leads you to pleasing nobody.

APC and their propaganda were the worst thing to happen to our system. Everything you see online or in the media is some form of propaganda. APC excel at this. I remember when Fashola was making GEJ look stupid for reducing the fuel price by 10naira. Nigerians hailed Fashola then, now I hope the dust in our eyes is clearing a bit. Mr Lai is very good at his job, he understands the power of the media in shaping public opinion.


But APC will not stop at propaganda. Since Lai 'Comical Ali' Mohammed entered the seat:
-he has met with all the bloggers of repute for 'discussion'
-Aisha Buhari has met with all the social media change agents for 'dinner and discussion'

If you call a man 'thief' 365days a year, some people who know less may actually consider him a thief. During the elections, we all saw a large group of people in a control room tapping away at computers, those are the e-warriors who can shape online media with their 1million retweets on twitter and likes on Nairaland.

Shaka Momodu deserves a bottle of big stout

Come Op!!!!! Who u de give assignment in this new year Na who wan read dis amAbabio This a new year oooooo!! Definitely not i! Bye
theshadyexpress:
Fellow Nigerians, have you heard the news coming from the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola - that former President Goodluck Jonathan constructed more roads than any president ever n the history of Nigeria? He was reported to have made that startling admission on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 in Abuja during his first news conference tagged, “Setting the Agenda for Delivering Change”. He also acknowledged that the transformation in the power sector was above 50 per cent and that he would try to build on it. I could scarcely believe my eyes when I read about it in the newspapers.

I had to read the story several times to be sure my eyes were not playing pranks on me and that the news report I was reading was not made up by someone trying to “undo” Fashola in his new assignment. And to be doubly certain, I had to call somebody to read the story aloud to me to be sure some smart Alec wasn’t about to fool me. Then I decided to wait for a denial in the hope that the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) poster boy of good governance, the “prime minister” and the “actualiser” of Buhari’s change was not quoted correctly.

Three weeks after, I haven’t seen a rebuttal. Following on from Fashola’s acknowledgement, the Minister of State for Works, Adebayo Adeyeye, speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily was even more specific with figures, stating with emphasis that Jonathan’s administration recorded more success in the provision of motorable roads than any other administration in the history of Nigeria. I couldn’t resist the urge to ask what was going on. According to Adeyeye, Nigeria in 2011 had about 4,500 kilometres of fairly motorable roads, and that the Jonathan administration was able to raise that number to “25,000 kilometres of very good roads”.

The truth here is I hardly knew what to make of Fashola’s admission after the fact. If you will recall, in the run-up to the presidential election, Fashola was one of the APC stalwarts who made carnage of Jonathan’s achievements. He repeatedly and savagely tore at the core of the last administration’s programmes and made mincemeat of Jonathan in a caricature of facts that he now acknowledges in beautiful expressions. He made political capital out of the last government’s problems and ripped to shreds every conceivable achievement of that administration. He declared emphatically that Jonathan achieved “nothing” and as such did not deserve a second term.

Fashola’s campaign of deliberate misrepresentation of the facts and desperation became reckless, cold-hearted and even unpatriotic when he tried to scare potential foreign investors away from the country all in a bid to undermine that government. His gentlemanly mien, apolitical persona and disposition reinforced by the public perception that he had “performed” did much to sway the gullible public to the lying eyes of his campaign narrative. But that is what you get when political novices take front row seats and talk from both sides of their mouth all in a bid to impress.

The zest and tone of his campaign was something of a revelation to many including myself and I dare say no one knew he had the capacity for such political mischief. But it speaks to the fact that science hasn’t found a way to decipher what is in a man’s mind or predict his actions within a given circumstance. The 2015 campaigns shattered Fashola’s image that had formed in the public psyche and revealed a side previously unknown. I must admit I was taken aback by his resort to scorched earth tactic and I held my breath each time he was on the campaign stump. He rubbed himself in the mud and got dirty happy with his condition. And of course he got rewarded handsomely by Buhari despite allegations of abuse of office.


Lest we forget, in January 2015 when the Jonathan administration reduced the pump price of PMS from N97 to N87 in response to the fall in oil price to the $60 range, Fashola criticised the move as too little in an article titled, ‘PMS Pump Price Reduction and the Economy – My Take Away’. He stated: “I doubt that a 10% reduction is the best that we can get in response to a 50% drop in oil price, and this is simple common sense.

If a product is manufactured at X price and the price of the raw material drops by Y%, I think it is simple economics to reflect that Y% drop in the price of the final product without doing any damage to the cost of packaging or transporting the product. And this should happen vice versa if the price of the raw material heads in the opposite direction.” Now, 12 months after he wrote that take away as an opposition governor, Fashola’s party, the APC, is now in power at the federal level. The price of crude oil has dropped to $31 (about 50% of what it was when he wrote that article), the federal government just announced a pump price reduction of a mere 50 kobo which is just 0.57% reduction. Is Fashola there? What is his take away on this reduction now?


Now, let’s go into the nitty-gritty of the repeated denials of Jonathan’s achievements. Speaking at the inauguration of the Cooperative Home Ownership Incentive Scheme (CHOIS) city at Agbowa, Ikosi-Ejirin and the first solar-powered Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) in Epe, on January 7, 2015 as reported in some newspapers the next day, Fashola lamented that all the central government informed the citizens and foreign investors about the country especially on insecurity and rebasing of the country’s economy was untrue. Fashola said: “The federal government is ignorant and later lied to Nigerians. This is an indication that they do not know what to do on the challenges confronting this country, especially on insecurity.” In the quest for power everything was considered fair game. It is good that Fashola is now playing a major role in this government, we can now benchmark him with his campaign rhetoric.


In this abridged statement by its then National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party lampooned the rebasing, saying the federal government had only succeeded in opening itself to ridicule. “If ever there was a clear play at oxymoron, this was it: The largest economy with the largest population of the poor, the largest economy with the largest population of unemployed, the largest economy with the largest population of citizens living in darkness, and the largest economy with the worst infrastructure.


“Simply put, there is too much poverty in the midst of plenty, and the so-called economic growth which the FG has been trumpeting with its dubious statistics is not a result of any deliberate government policies. Policies of government are expected to result in reduction in unemployment, increase in capacity utilisation by manufacturers, increased access to basic needs of life (food, water, electricity, health care, education, healthy environment, etc), increase in transparency and accountability, etc. On the contrary, the country continues to slip down the ladder on all of these fronts.


“Therefore, President Jonathan and his shadow-chasing economic team should therefore quit wallowing in unnecessary chest-beating over the rejigging of figures and the play on statistics and put their shoulders to the wheel to push our nation forward. If they cannot, they should get out of the way and allow those who are capable to do so. Enough of this choreographed distraction,” the party concluded.


Luckily, the APC got its wish and was elected to bring all its magic to turn things around for the better. Well, the jury is still out on the party, but if as the saying goes, the morning shows the day, the APC appears to be even more clueless than the man it successfully prefixed with that adjective. A more bizarre admission came from the garrulous enfant terrible of the APC, and former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi and now the Minister of Transportation. Amaechi who made a career out of his attacks on former President Jonathan made his startling disclosure that he never knew railway transport still existed in Nigeria.


His statement as reported in the media sent shockwaves across the landscape. His words: “In fact, I think we have a problem; most people don’t believe that the railway transport is functioning in Nigeria. I didn’t even know until I started this tour, I never knew that the railway was functioning; it was even from his (MD’s) speech that I learnt that there are some coaches or services that go to Kano or Port Harcourt or elsewhere.


“The only time I had seen railways (trains) or the coaches was one or two days in Lagos, and I thought it started from the beginning of Lagos to the end of Lagos.
“So we need to make people become more aware that the narrow gauge is working, and that people can still use it to travel around the country.”



That was Amaechi practically telling the world that railway transportation is working in the country after all - even though it may not be as sophisticated as you have in some advanced countries. In the run-up to the election, Amaechi and his party, the APC and its supporters never acknowledged this achievement by the last government. Rather, they rubbished it as “old useless coaches brought in to fool Nigerians to create a semblance that the rail lines were functioning.” Wait a moment - he said he never knew that the rail as a means of transportation existed in Nigeria? But how can he say that? For the life of me, how can Amaechi claim not to know that railway transportation was revived by the last government after it was abandoned for over 30 years? I remember that in December 2014, right under Amaechi’s nose, the then President Jonathan flagged off the Enugu-Port Harcourt train service. It was reported by all the newspapers the following day.

So how could Amaechi feign ignorance about rail transportation in the country when a rail line connects Enugu to Port Harcourt in Rivers State where he held sway as the governor for eight years? Maybe the Port Harcourt /Aba rail he took a tour on that impressed him to the point of gushing out his feigned ignorance was built by Buhari. But more than anything else is it not ironic that a man who for eight years could not actualise the single most important signature project of his administration - the 9.3 kilometre Port Harcourt Monorail after sinking tens of billions of naira of taxpayers’ money is now the one superintending over Ministry of Transportation, driving the transport policy of the entire country? Well, that is how Nigeria works and that precisely is why we have been sitting on a barber’s chair, swiveling in all directions in motion without movement.


On the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s call on Buhari to remove subsidy, I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. But here is what I did: I shook my head in pity for this nation. But did he really say that or an impersonator was using his name in vain to try to embarrass him? What has changed between 2012 and 2015? Oh, Jonathan is no longer in power! It is Muhammadu Buhari of the APC who is now the president.


Well, in actual fact it is not so much what he said that is relevant here but what he didn’t say. Anyone with a sense of our recent history and with a long memory will recall the role Tinubu’s then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) played to frustrate the deregulation of the downstream oil sector and the subsequent removal of the highly contentious subsidy in January 2012. It was the best policy option then as it is now. All the governors supported the policy before it was carried out, but immediately it came into effect and Labour started protests, the ACN governors quickly backed out and aligned with Labour in condemning the then federal government. The Occupy Nigeria group was born with the active connivance of the ACN. Eventually the government had to somewhat rollback the policy. In the last five years plus, the World Bank recently revealed that the country had lost nearly N6 trillion to subsidy that hardly benefits the poor, the very reason often cited for its retention.


Tinubu, who ferociously fought against the re­moval of fuel subsidy during the immediate past administration, finally had the temerity to ask Buhari to do away with the policy for the country to move forward be­cause according to him, ordinary Nigerians no long­er benefited from it. His words: “In a per­fect world, I wish we could sani­tise the subsidy regime and thus continue with it. However, I have reached the conclusion that there are too many demons in the sys­tem for that hell to be turned into heaven.”


The question is: did ordinary Nigerians really benefit from the subsidy in 2012 when the then ACN frustrated its removal? There is nothing in Tinubu’s preposition that is new to the clamour to do away with the subsidy regime. As a matter of fact, it is coming quite late and may be an opportunistic attempt to seize the high ground from a coalition of clear thinkers who had long identified and articulated the need to jettison the subsidy regime. Why it took Tinubu so long to see what he now sees as the way forward can be nothing other than petty politics which to my mind has cost the nation huge resources that would have been used for the development of infrastructure. People close to him describe him as sharp witted, a great thinker, a visionary and a bridge builder.

All that may be true as long as it meets his short-term political gains and that to me does not show proud and patriotic wisdom. However, what is often less spoken about him but which is also manifestly true is that the man is neither a true democrat nor is he a principled progressive. A fatal flaw in his credentials is that he is surprisingly blinded by his ambition and desire for power and control which leaves him vulnerable to the same charges he accused others of. And more than his trumpeted democratic credentials, he brooks no dissent.
What is actually happening now is that there is a struggle between the ferocious propaganda upon which the APC rode to power and facts on the ground. And the former is unraveling in the face of cold hard reality of the latter.



Let me state here categorically, there is no denying the fact that Jonathan exhibited extreme weakness on the twin issues of security and corruption. He failed to decisively deal with the Boko Haram menace and the establishment forces behind it early enough. His resort to the policy of appeasement in early days of Boko Haram when decisive military action was needed failed spectacularly. He failed to rein in impunity among government officials. His stunning lack of will to wield the big stick when necessary defied common sense, and even when the public demanded it, he was shockingly unresponsive. But Jonathan redeemed himself somewhat with just that momentous telephone call that changed the course of our democratic history. Happy New Year to All.

dasuki has a case to answer in court and he has been clamouring to do so but he can never feel assured of a fair trial when the prosecutor(buhari) is the judge and to worsen things he and the judge are political-never-see-eye-to-eye

The writer must be insensitive to allege that 25k km was done by GEJ based on fabricated quotes. He should as a journalist be more investigative and list out the roads! If at all, none of the meagre successes of GEJ can justify the amount of theft and cluelessness of that govt. Please the writer should deal with that.
Using subsidy removal as an example, the argument now is different from those of 4 yrs ago. Now, it is glaring that with the fall in oil prices, removal of subsidy would not hurt the populace.
In the 2012 scenario, the argument was that removal would create money to fund infrastructure with the creation of SUREP. Please show us the infrastructure financed with the 50% removal (remember, subsidy was party removed) other than private constructions by the subsidy thieves and their acolytes including Thisday journalists like the writer of the editorial. Don't also forget the manner of the removal; crude was selling at record high yet those that travelled to villages were left stranded as a result of sudden pice changes.
Why are you crying because truth about Jonathan's achievements were told.

please slap Fashola for lying about improvements in those sectors under Gej administration

Source?

Also note that 'improvement' isn't anything special. Even adding just one road is an improvement. The OP claims Fashola described a revolution or massive transformation in roads. Provide a transcript of fashola's speech or a video link to back up your claims.

It's a simple request. These cowardly attempts to dodge round the issue isn't helping.

I am obviously asking for the writer's source, dummy.
I should ask you also for the evidence that Fashola made the alleged statement, since you're here claiming it is a 'fact'


You're not very bright, are you?
You are asking stupid questions, isn't ur phone Internet enabled? Why not find out for urself? Meanwhile see ur signature, ur need to take that advice.

You can believe what you want. I can't expect you to think beyond your cognitive capacity. But then, try these elementary exercises.
1. Was any federal road leading to your house or village worked on during the GEJ administration?
2. If the quote the writer ascribed to Fashola was true, don't you think it would have been reported by mainstream media inclusive of Thisday where the writer works for as editor? Why would he be looking for a rebuttal if he heard from the horse's mouth?
Think please.


So in one word, "You are Ignorant." Ignorant of the fact that Fashola really ascribed that success to GEJ. But when you do not read, how do I expect you to know. Fashola wrote an essay which you can still check online as his manifesto. Ignoramus.

2016 is here, change your ways.

Happy New Year

Come 2019 we shall do more and better comparisons.

Then the difference between the later and the former would have been clearly defined.

Am just watching all things in LED.

Corruption is never the way forward. Just because YOU and I were born into the 'system', doesn't mean we must continue in it!

My dear patriotic PDP members, I urge you to relax your veins, we did not lost the election on the ground that GEJ and PDP did not perform rather, we lost the election because of the desperation of APC coupled with the fact that majority of Nigerians are ignorant and gullible.
They are ignorant any gullible in the send that they allowed decisions to be informed by "lies" from different quarters.

GEJ and his administration recorded some successes without a doubt but there is nothing outstanding there - they were simply doing their jobs and serving the masses as they were supposed to. I recall great progress in the Agric sector as well. Kudos to the said administration for these successes.

Having said that, the same administration does not deserve forgiveness for presiding over the greatest looting spree in the history of this great country. May Allahu punish every single one of those involved in the monumental looting. May they rot in prison, Ameen.
Did any person steal $12b in Gej administration the way ibb did?
What of the abacha loot which at the time the British govt said if that money were to be shared each nigerian citizen would get N5m!
Look no matter what you apc e-rats do the truth will surely surface! This is just the beginning more high ranking apc officials will be hunted by their lies and also start singing the praise of Gej.
