That guy is the biggest disappointment of the decade

my joe declared emergency on the power sector and it is taking for ever to see any sign of improvement. shame to joe, shame to obasanjo, shame to pdp and whateever they stand for.
read proverbs 29 : 2 and it says; when the wicked(pdp) is in power, the ppl mourn but when the righteous(any other party apga in imo state, acn in lagos) the people rejoice.

I think we need to create an informative contrast that puts the failure of GEJ to deliver on these empty promises into perspective.

We should talk about very unpopular policies and decisions he delivered ,after being sworn in , he conveniently failed to tell Nigerians of while seeking votes.

(1) The immediate disbanding of the PAC (Presidential advisory committee) with the very offensive and disappointing announcement that "leaner Government no possible".

(2) The obdurate and "no going back" pursuit of a change of electoral law to facilitate a single 6-7 tenure for elective offices.

(3) Instructing the home of grand corruption (the NNPC) to take over the rehabilitation of our refinerires over a 24 months period.

(4) full fuel subsidy removal .



Abeg, forumers feel free to add more. The substantive point is that it is clear our President is very treacherous and decietful. Zero delivery of things he promised and a wicked pursuit of unpopular, pro-elite and anti-people policies, that would have buried GEJ had he announced them before the elections, are all signs of deciet and a disregard for what is good for ordinary Nigerians.

Is it now not obvious why all the AGIPs and those who have ruined Nigeria, over decades, queued behind GEJ religiously? They recognizied the 'qualities' they needed in a champion for their 'cause'.

Our children dey die!!!

GEJ, you have a son too. Remember that before you watch children starve and die.

just like ur oga promised that lagos light rail would be ready in june and the lekki international airport would be ready last year. GEJ has fullfilled most of the promises he made if u and your hypocrites can see that then go and jump into the lagoon. Bunch of nairaland cry babies. Come 2015 real voters not jokers like u would vote him for his Good work resident nairaland hypocrites like you and ur cronies would continue ur rants here on nairaland...

.

GEJ is a civilian President, he heads the executive branch of the government and needs tremendous support of the Judiciary and the Legislators to accomplish most of these promises

He said cement price will not exceed #1000

Price of kerosine will not exceed #50.

Now the price of cement is around 2000 while kerosine is now 135 per litre.

DOES THIS CHANGE THE FACT THAT GEJ WILL RULE TILL 2019 HELL NO!!!

Weak Executive Branch of government.

Electoral reforms = promise fulfilled
Jega is doing well. Zero interference

Boko Haram Promise fulfilled SOE in place good progress mad .

Asian Tiger = go to Aba , Onitsh Nnewi ass see how he has encouraged Local manufacturer BOI is doing a good Job as locally Manufactured Vehicles now favoured ask Innoson bizness has been good


Corruption ? He has not fulfilled this ,the Odua case will be a litmus test , but the prosecution of the oil thieves is progressing well but Naija Judiciary is too slow !

Agriculture with the massive production of Excess rice and the cocoa been Nigeria's second highest export earner that's a promise fulfilled

Rail = promise made promise delivered , air-conditioned coaches with full entertainment services. Nigerian railways have never had it this good


Steel = promised delivered ,after obasanjo bas deal with Indian global steel he was able to secure the ajaokuta steel complex via arbitration with the russians now set to take over . Private sector steel manufacturing now at its peak with several multi million dollar factory been commissioned

Power ?? Promised yet to be delivered , PHCN now privatised the process has began time will tell!

Give GEJ some credit he has not done badly

Bookmarked

Odeshuku was probably drunk when making all those promises

He also vowed to build 36 airports in all states

This is the first time in the country that we are holding a President to his words. If we are sincere to ourselves, let us take GEJ by his campaign promises. Let us have a compendium of his promises and juxtapose it with his achievements.
Let us stop massaging our sentiments. I believe GEJ can take us to the promised land if we give him the necessary support and hold his government accountable and responsible, responsibly.

He is doing his best

Promiscus vanishus..

GEJ has come and gone why can't Buhari led administration stop these their blame games? With facts and data on ground, whoever says this government is promising is irredeemably deluded. Is 14+ months not a enough time for us to start seeing some rays of hope? Instead, things are going worse than they met them - receding economy; regional balkanization; despotic democracy; tactless, unprepared,trial-and-error, and unschooled leadership without multi-tasking competence; government of official terrorism, intolerance, propaganda, lies, deceit, vendetta and barbarism.
They are eager to take credit for all the good things started by the previous administration which are paying off now but would blame the past administration for the ugly results of their crass incompetence in office now. It's quite unfortunate that amidst all these, their(APC) fanatical fans don't even raise an eyebrow.
