UNFORTUNATE: 7 Ways Goodluck Jonathan Disappointed Nigerians by Freegift75: 6:58pm On Apr 27, 2017
THE EVIL JONATHAN PERPETRATED AGAINST NIGERIANS

Every moment the name of former President Goodluck Jonathan is mentioned, 99% of Nigerians become furious and bitter. The reason is not far-fetched but simply because Nigeria was plundered into bankruptcy under the watch of Jonathan who was entrusted to bring transformation.

Here are 7 ways his administration
failed Nigerians and in many cases, left
the country worse than it met it.

1. Power Generation.
In 2010, when Mr Jonathan was sworn
in as substantive president after the
death of his former boss, Umaru
Yar’Adua, power generation in Nigeria
was 3,000 mega watts. On the day he was handing over to his successor, power generation had dropped to less than 2000 mega watts.

2. Security
This was perhaps Mr Jonathan’s biggest albatross. His administration went to sleep while the insurgent group, Boko Haram, ran amok killing thousands and capturing territory as huge as Belgium from Nigeria in its bid to create an Islamic caliphate. Mr Jonathan only acted decisively when it became clear that the insurgency would cost him votes during the presidential election.


3. Fuel Scarcity
Despite several promises by Mr Jonathan to increase the nation’s capacity to refine crude by revamping the existing refineries and building new ones, no new refineries were built in his five years in office while existing ones never worked at optimum capacity.


4. Corruption
The granting of presidential pardon to former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who was convicted of money laundering, sparked outrage among Nigerians. He also did nothing, until too late, when former Aviation Minister, Stella Uduah, bought two armoured BMW cars for N255 million. When he eventually acted, he only removed the former minister from office without ordering or
calling for her prosecution. Also, instead of investigating the alleged N20 billion the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, said was missing from the accounts of
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mr. Jonathan hounded him out of office.

5. Crude oil theft

Yet, instead of the theft of oil to decrease it remained a major drain of resources. According to the Chief of
Naval Staff, Usman Jibrin, the country lost crude valued more than N1.18 billion daily to oil thieves (N433.62 billion annually).

6. Economy
Mr. Jonathan could not sustain the modest economic growth recorded by his government initially. He could not save for the rainy day when the price of crude oil reached very high levels; subsequently depleting Nigeria’s foreign reserves and incurring a huge debt profile as soon as there was a dip in the price of crude in the international market. Mr Jonathan inherited as much as $60 billion in foreign reserve but plundered it to as low as $40 billion in five years.


7. Foreign Relations
Under Mr. Jonathan, Nigeria’s foreign relations was very ridiculous. There was no clear foreign relation direction as the country gradually lost its clout in the international community. Nigeria was left with a bloody nose after the South African government seized its $15 million arms money illegal brought into South Africa in cash. At the twilight of Mr Jonathan’s administration, the
South African government also ridiculed Nigeria’s shoddy recall of her ambassador to South Africa following the xenophobic violence there. Also, the Moroccan government recalled its
ambassador to Nigeria after officials of the latter’s foreign ministry lied about a telephone conversation between Mr Jonathan and King Mohammed VI of
Morocco.

Don't tell me you're planning to vote instead of agitating for biafra
Whether you like it or not, Apc will remain in power come 2019. And no VP slot for igbos if that's your wish.

But she is barren.. isn't she?

If atal she had a child of her own, she would understand what compassion is.. But no, the foolish woman took away billions to buy and feed pet dogs when real children are going hungry in Aba and other IDPs up North
Even soldiers (other people's children) died in battle cos of her greedy and selfish ways

With $16 billion World Bank assisted power project how many watts did Obasanjo generate?
He tried and failed you. What has his successor tried?
We are hit with stagnation, diseases, inflation, job loss, etc as a result of unguarded statements. Which father goes out to say my daughters are bad and expect suitors? He has chased investors away, so he must shoulder the burden of infrastructure by himself.
I ask which is better: To prosper in corruption or to suffer in corruption? Because all governments are corrupt, including Western governments. It takes two to tangle.

patience Jonathan is a saint compared to Aisha buhari's disgusting display of inordinate wealth yet i won't indulge you in a pointless argument, what i know is that referring to her as barren is inhuman and uncultured on your part and that of the moderators that supports you with their deafening silence in the face of evil.
