He comes from a majority tribe, so as long as his politics remains a game of numbers he is fine.

1.I was in Oct 2013 for 3 weeks. Amenities are not stretched and it was not hard to find out that they are majorly rural dwellers. Spent in dollars and it boosts the country's tourism cos from what i understand, their currency has been poisoned by western interests. World bank and IMF have been sanctioning him because of his indigenisation policies.

2.this was basically hearsay.

3.Zimbabwe has been using cassava flour since way back as a standard. The Europeans that lived among them created very good value chain for their agricultural produce. They are almost self sustained when it comes to agricultural produce.

4.no, I am not complaining about our assimilation of their culture, but our dependency on their narrative to build our world view. he is very popular in his country and due to its a multi-tribal state, his opposition are often across that line and are funded by western interest. His tribe is a majority tribe so his stand on power is secure. His legitimacy is also rightly so because he has been democratic in his hold on power.

5. Khadaffi was a good leader to his people, and bad to foriegn interests. Its unfortunate his ways weren't pure, but a leader must know when to be kind, and also know how to use wickedness. Its the burden of their work. However, he did build a great country. He went completely mad towards the end, but it was due to he did not understand why a people he had done so much for would turn against him. He brought the whole house down on him.

Afrocentrism is an ideal... i believe in a United Africa protecting its own interests and trading freely with itself.




no, I am not complaining about our assimilation of their culture, but our dependency on their narrative to build our world view ---> Hypocrisy again and again.

Khadaffi was a good leader to his people----> I'm sorry but are you playing devil's advocate? Gadhafi was never a good man, there's absolutely no way to sugar coat it. The same goes for Mugabe. Until Africans take responsibility for their own problems and accept logic and critical reasoning as part of their culture, Africa will never ever move forward. No matter how obsessed we are with Europeans and try to blame them for any little problem we have, it will never change the following facts:

1. The people who killed the only few good men we had as good leaders were Africans. No European put a gun or knife in the hand of any African to commit these atrocities

2. The people who sell out their own African countries and its people as peanuts to the Europeans are African

3. The Civil wars, Wars, and Genocide are committed by Africans. Again, No European put a gun or knife in the hand of any African to commit these atrocities

4. We caused colonialism through slavery and even after slavery, Africans embrace Neocolonialism with pleasure

5. The poor state of the nation or nations are caused by the Africans

6. The huge loans taken from the IMF and other Organisations were done by Africans

7. We kill ourselves daily for Religion, ethnic and tribal bigotry

I could go on and on but I'm sure you understand the point I'm trying to make. I repeat, Afrocentrism never helps anyone, it's only a mask for reverse racism, that's why we're only united when it comes to the Europeans, yet, we're so disunited amongst ourselves.

i don't get how it is hypocrisy, but i build my facts from a balance of mainstream and alternate media

I am a big fan of the Machiavellian ideals on consolidation of power. And if you want to site this as hypocrisy, i must remind you that, that his little book is the anti-thesis of the user manual handed to us by the white man called the bible. And the principles of his book has been applied by great leaders from the time immemorial. Khadaffi was a cruel man but he did not let his people suffer; well not until he ran mad.

All 7 points you mentioned still has at its roots, a dependency on the white mans narrative as a causative factor to our problems. Early coups in Africa were doctored by western interest who saw the military as the tool for securing the status quo as regards to their principalities. The tragedy is that when these interests had been consolidated, they left us with those devices to govern ourselves.

The problem with governing ourselves then is that it cannot come naturally cos it did not originate naturally

Khadaffi was a cruel man but he did not let his people suffer; well not until he ran mad. ---> Finally, we agree on something, I think.

There's no country in the world that wouldn't seek to take advantage of another country, I mean, no single country!! No European put a gun, machete or RPG in the hands of these dictators and their cohorts to carry out these atrocities. It's akin to blaming the devil for all our misdeeds.

Also, stop mentioning ''the White man'', that's a statement used by unintelligent folks. Now I know you're aren't one, so let's focus on the issue at hand. We, as a race, are largely the cause of our own problems. We made the choice to be deceived as well as maltreat our own people, not some damn conspiracy theory.

It is also quite obvious that they are not a representative of the people...

We have had leaders who have used whatever means necessary to wrestle power, and even our present democratic journey are still these same power hungry men who aged more ruthless and would do whatever means and beyond to remain relevant. Its a completely stagnant situation as this men see things no different as they did 30years ago.

Nigerians have never succeeded in genuinely electing a leader of their choice because all election since independence in this country has been rigged.

The Achievements are over impressive..

Read before you make fun of yourself..

Read and gain wisdom..

When you are done then you tell me what this present government has achieved so far...

People like fashola and Amechi has started saying the truth...



Limits of denigration

These days, the most discernible policy of the new APC government is to attack everything Jonathan. However, propaganda can only mask the truth in the short-term. It cannot destroy the truth in the medium to long-term. No matter what APC traducers say, the fact remains that Goodluck Jonathan was an exceptional president by Nigerian standards.

Now is the time to re-affirm this and to invite a more dispassionate reappraisal of the facts, away from the lies and fabrications of the election campaign. It can no longer be argued today that anyone defending Jonathan is a PDP contractor; a favourite line of defence of Buharimaniacs. Neither can Jonathan defenders be accused any longer of wanting to replace Reuben Abati as the president’s spokesman. “You can do nothing against the truth but for the truth.” No matter what the APC continues to broadcast about the Jonathan administration, the truth cannot be silenced.


Fashola’s gaffe: After six months of stasis, Buhari finally unfurled his ministers in the most anti-climatic fashion. These long-awaited saints and angels turned out to be mostly Santa Claus.

Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos State, is now the minister of Power, Works and Housing. At his maiden news conference, tagged grandiloquently: “Setting the Agenda for Delivering Change,” the same Fashola who spent the election campaign running down the Jonathan administration shocked his audience by revealing that, rather than embark on new road construction projects in 2016, he would only endeavour to build on Jonathan’s achievements.

Wittingly or unwittingly, Fashola gave the lie to APC propaganda that Jonathan’s years were wasted years? If Jonathan was as incompetent as the APC would have us believe, why could the party not launch its own superior nationwide road-building plan, as Buhari had promised in the heady days of the 2015 election campaign? Why rely on allegedly sub-standard PDP foundations?


Similarly, rather than jettison Jonathan’s power-sector reforms that APC derided volubly during the campaign, Fashola revealed that the government will be continuing with them. Jonathan completed 10 power-plants in Nigeria within three years; the first and highest of such record by any Nigerian president living or dead. The APC had accused Jonathan of awarding the power projects to PDP cronies and financiers who are incompetent and deficient. But rather than revoke those contracts, Fashola preached continuity. He also admitted that Jonathan‘s transformation in the power sector is above 50%, and that his job would be to build on this achievement.



Jonathan’s transformation agenda

Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, also had the same assessment of Jonathan’s achievements with regard to rail transportation. He pledged to complete all ongoing rail-restoration projects around the country started by Jonathan; as well as extend them to all parts of the country.

For his part, Audu Ogbeh, the new Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, did not even pretend to have an alternative to Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda. Speaking at the launching of the Anchor Borrowers Programme in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Ogbe commended Jonathan’s achievements in agriculture, while also praising his ministerial predecessor for the innovations he introduced.

Thanks to Jonathan, agriculture now accounts for 22 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP, more than oil and gas which only account for 15.9 per cent. Under Jonathan, Nigeria recorded a more than 50 per cent reduction in food imports; from an import bill of N1.4 trillion to less than N700 billion. With the innovation of dry season rice-farming, Nigeria reached 60% self-sufficiency in rice production and became, according to the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the largest producer of cassava in the world.


Anti-corruption hypocrisy

Rather than hit the ground running, the in-coming Buhari administration has spent the last six months on a campaign against Jonathan and his men, as if it is still shopping for Nigerian votes. This campaign has become a substitute for policy, leading to the conclusion that the APC never really expected to win the election and therefore does not know what to do now it has been declared the winner. What the party did during the election campaign was present pie-in-the-sky policies that were never intended to be implemented but were primarily designed to harvest votes.

This accounts for the government’s current embarrassment with its own party manifesto and the denial of its campaign promises. It has even led to APC legislators being constrained to vote against their own policy; the payment of N5000 monthly to the 25 million poorest Nigerians. In six months, the much-touted change of the APC has turned out to be counterfeit. What we have instead is a constant barrage of media trials pertaining to the alleged corruption of the Jonathan administration.

This anti-corruption crusade is clearly not addressed at curtailing corruption. Its primary objective is to kill and bury the PDP. Not even the most ardent supporters of Jonathan would insist that there was not rampant corruption under the PDP. What is unacceptable is the present government’s pretence that corruption in Nigeria is restricted to the PDP when, as a matter of fact, the APC is just as corrupt, if not even more because of its blatant hypocrisy.

The government’s anti-corruption crusade is already without legitimacy because it is unashamedly partial and selective. Allegations made against APC office-holders are procedurally ignored by the government’s anti-corruption watchdogs. Some of the APC chieftains accused of corruption have even been rewarded with major ministerial portfolios. Others have been nominated as APC candidates in governorship elections.

PDP members are labelled corrupt until they declare for the APC; then they automatically become saints. We are meant to believe that while the PDP used government funds to buy favours and votes during the election campaign, APC managed to spend massively to dislodge the PDP from power without doing the same. The truth of the matter is that corruption is not the exclusive preserve of any party or persons. Corruption is endemic to the Nigerian political system.

Selective maligning of the members of the former government will not rid Nigeria of corruption. Neither will allegations of corruption hurriedly put together for the sake of public consumption, which are then thrown out by the courts. Corruption has to be addressed systemically and structurally. But to date, there is little evidence that the government’s anti-corruption intentions go beyond the witch-hunting of the Jonathan administration.




Jonathan’s legacies

To the extent that the present administration can be said to have any policies after six months in office, they are all legacies of the Jonathan administration. The TSA is from Jonathan. The turn-around maintenance of our refineries is from Jonathan. The re-equipping of our military is from Jonathan. The improvement in electricity is a Jonathan legacy. On the other hand, the major policies enunciated in the APC election manifesto remain essentially pipe-dreams.

In spite of APC propaganda, Jonathan’s men keep matching on. Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, Jonathan’s Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development is now President of the Africa Development Bank (AfDB). Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Jonathan’s Minister of Finance, and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, is now a Senior Adviser at Lazzard; a prestigious 167 year-old global investment firm. Arunma Otteh, Jonathan’s Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is now a Vice-President of the World Bank.

To paraphrase Marc Antony of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Jonathan. The noble APC hath told you Jonathan was clueless. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Jonathan answered it.”

10) SOKOTO- YAURI- KONTAGORA ROAD: The Federal Government said has awarded contract for reconstruction of the 655-kilometre Sokoto-Yauri-Kontagora road.

11) GREAT GREEN WALL PROJECT: Curtailing decertification under the Great Green Wall Project (GGW) launched in Kebbi State by Mr President.

12) GRAINS SILO: Construction of 100metric tons of Grain Silos in Kebbi State.

13) REVIVAL OF COTTON INDUSTRY IN ZAMFARA STATE: Fed Govt. has resuscitated the moribund cotton industry in Gasau in Zamfara State. Fed Govt has built 15 ginneries in the State, the grinneries can hold up to 2,000 tons of cotton.

14) N320 BILLION RICE ECONOMY: Local rice production contributed 320 Billion Naira to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country in 2014 – the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina ( Source Fed Min. Of Info ).

15) RICE PRODUCTION 760,000 JOBS CREATED: Rice production has created 760,00 jobs, according to the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina ( Source Fed Min. Of Info )

16) FIRST EVER 2.9 MILLION METRIC TONS OF RICE PRODUCTION 2013: Based on the 2013 production of 1.9 Million Metric Tons of rice, the projected production for the 2013 farming season is expected to be about 2.9 Million Metric Tons of high quality rice milled from local sources. 202) Nigeria produces over 9m, making us 85% rice sufficientIn 2009, Nigeria was producing below 5 million tonnes of rice, today we are 85% rice sufficient. ?We are going to be the Thailand of Africa?. Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina ( Source Fed Min. Of Info ).

17) ESTABLISHMENT OF 13 NEW RICE MILLS: Miva Rice Mill is in Benue State, it is one of the thirteen rice mills that have been established under this administration. Before the launch of the Agricultural Transformational Agenda (ATA) in 2011, only one integrated rice mill was functioning in the whole of the country With the recent establishment of the 60,000 Ton Olam Farm due to be commissioned in June,2014, this will bring to 13, the number of local rice mills so far established by this administration. ( Source Fed Min. Of Info ).

18) ESTABLISHMENT OF GROWTH ENHANCEMENT SUPPORT SCHEME: This has ensured that rice is not just harvested but is also milled in Nigeria and sold directly to Nigerian consumers. Thus, it can be seen that the Federal Government under the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan has been putting in place both policies and the enabling environment for the production of small, medium, and large-scale production of rice. This falls directly under the purview of the Growth Enhancement Support Scheme (GES) for the increase of value chain in the rice producing area of the Agricultural Transformation Agenda. ( Source Fed Min. Of Info ).

Young man.

He is power hungry alright, but his reign has made Zimbabwe one of the most self sufficient country in Africa, despite all the embargoes, bad media and suppression by the west.
You are just following the western narrative. Zimbabweans do not need money, and this has made the state the most crime free oasis in Africa. What is there to steal? i was in Zimbabwe and I marvelled. Very simple life and the people very happy and communal. Real African paradise.

The west don't like him cos he kicked them in the arse off their lands , so they have been sabotaging him economically and funding oppositions against him.

Robert Mugabe is tough, Africas greatest Black president. He has always secured his power democratically .. If we had more leaders like him in Africa, Africa won't be getting raped in the arse by western corporations.

Quote me when u have attained his age and still can articulate

Really!!!
