wyt: no matter how bad u guys see GEJ, he was the best candidate in last presidential poll. mark my word, he will bite @ appropriate tym. what he need is upgrade our power to about 15,000mwts, achieve some other stuffs on or befor 2014, he will buy back out votes. come next presidential poll who is really better?

Gbawe:

Utterances like this indicate that Nigeria is doomed. After all we have seen, some are still talking with the sentiments they appproached the polling booth with in 2011. Pray tell us why GEJ was the best candidate.

If we inspect the usual parameters used worldwide, by those who shun sentiments, you will quickly realise you are just talking out of ethnic/sectional/religious bias. GEJ was a total mediocrity in public office. He did not distinguish himself at all and had the worst CV as a public servant and I don't know how you come to the inane conclusion you submit here. I can only assume you are one of those Southerners who deem "the best" to be any non-Northerner even if he is entirely clueless compared to the Northerners he is contesting against.

malc619: GEJ is yet to complete one year of his tenure and everybody is more interested in 2015 than in what he is doing now. Y ??

This guy should wake up and start work, else his rule will ßξ a terrible disaster....

DivideUs:

i do not usually agree with this "yes sir" guy and he knows it but,

there is somthing fishy about the US timing of things here.

same US that was invited GEJ to everythin, even things that he didnt need to attend all of a sudden, gej govt is corrupt a den blah blah blah.

but the biggest one that got me was 2 days after OBJ called the national assembly rogues and armed robbers the american government issued a statement that only fell short of calling GEJ and his govt criminals.

now, with the wave of coups going on in west africa and knowing our history that most nigerian coups only hapun after another country's i find the timing and the statements suspect.

makes me wonder, if both OBJ(CIA) & the US term both arms of govt corrupt, what are they really saying (isnt that killin democracy and givin excuses for...)? so can GEJ really achieve anything even if he wants to?

now back to the dundee, grow some balls and act like a president, the problem is obvious and we will stand by you but only if you can point the finger at them and tell them Fk U (kinda like mark did with the go to hell statement) and i promise you, you do not need to beg like a baby asking not to be abandoned!!!

be a nigeria president and not an ijaw president and we will not only not abandon you, we will protect you and if need be, fight and die for you, we want a leader not a coward, so wake up

nuclearboy: No point responding to Beaf here - Delafruita has done a beautiful job!

All I want to add is that there exists a limit to falsity and misrepresentation and Beaf, you went past that line long ago! For some asinine reason, you believe that some people here "hate" President Jonathan! You are wrong because it is his actions that many are irritated by or despise! What we say is be pro-Nigerians, feel emphathy for those you "claim" voted you in and insist on probity!

Then, he will no longer need you or Abati to make excuses for him as his works would shine out for themselves!as it is, the excuses worsen his position

Delafruita: america is a great country because its leaders are able to spot trends and changes in power balance.they latched unto ebele primarily because of the circumstances that led to his ascension.they saw in him what the "i voted jonathan and not pdp" saw.as is their usual nature,they try to cuddle such leaders so as to maintain them as allies hence all the invitation he was getting.you cant blame them for turning back,they lost citizens to terrorist that ebele is apparently reluctant to fight

oxford:

1. Conducted a free and fair election. Some thing that was way out of our reach before now

2. Establishment of 9 federal universities.

3. Sovorereign Wealth Fund (SWF) which is a vehicle initiated by this administration to secure the future economic well being of Nigeria

4. Not always been on a sick leave

5. Reawakening the Nigerian Railway Corporation

6. improving power generation(it was 1000mw during Yaradua, I have not forgotten) and establishing a road map for Nigeria power sector.

7. Maintaining inflation average at 9.4% - single digit.

8. Putting Henry Okar and Ibori out of circulation

9. 35% women in governance

10. Signing the FOI bill and Local content bill into law.

11. Reviewing NYSC allowance from a mere 9,700 to 19,800

12. Stabilizing the price of cement

13. Establishment of a special school for the almajiris. How come past northern president never thought of this?

14. Shore up national reserve to $37billion

15. Diversifying the economy - giving deserving attention to agriculture.

I could go on and on. Lets be blinded by stupid opposition - Nigeria is changing.

Beaf:

Firstly, I will state again that it is very unhealthy for politicians to be concerned about 2015 (the explanation why they are is simple though).
Dude, nobody can make a strong impression in their first year at the helm; not even Obj could manage it (most of his achievements came either in his 2nd term or in his 3rd and 4th years).
When you get in there, you need to begin consolidating your grip on power (that usually takes a year). It is only about a month ago that Obj left the BOT for instance.

People aren't being fair to GEJ because he is gentle, he is not the mad dog type we are used to having as leaders.
That said, he is busy reorganising; could anyone have imagined how Obj left? It was the most visble signal that blocks were being moved. A lot of what you see in this so-called 2015 saga is nak'ed justling for power, while many are shoved aside or thrown under the bus.
Even though battles are raging, you can get a sense of who is fighting and what they are fighting for. Reassuringly, it is evident that it is lovers of the status quo fighting back; that is a most sure signal that they are being thrown aside. I believe good things will come from Jonathan once the battles have been won.

Delafruita: i like people like you who assume everyone is ignorant and thus feel free to peddle tales.
1. Which election was free and fair?the one in which billions was expended to buy votes?
2. Does it make sense to establish 9 universities when the existing ones are grossly underfunded?
3. Sovereign wealth fund has caused more harm than good.obasanjo created the excess crude and left $33billion.ebele decided to abolish the ECA and replace it wit SWF.In his wisdom he decided to open it with 1billion.somehow the remaining was frittered away.
4.how is that an achievement
5.started with obj
6.peak generation under yaradua was 4200MW.minimum was 2800MW.this isnt kindergaten where you peddle such tales
7.inflation under obasanjo was 8.7% year on year for 2007 and that was the last time we had single digit inflation.now its btw 12-13% and is predicted to hit 15% by june.
8.jonathan didnt put ibori in prison.okah is a story i dont wanna get into ryt now
9.and the women are diezanni,oduah,rufai,iweala,obada.what wonders have they performed?
10,11,12,13 You are very funny
14.you probably mean depleted to $37billin
15.tales by moonlight
please go on

bodejohn: @ Beaf,
How did you manage to make your post at four one nine pm? LOL!

teskyg: GEJ will win come 2015.All he need to do are:
1.Construct Lagos Ibadan express way,Airport road and Oshodi Apapa express way and he gets the west.
2.Contrust another River Niger bridge and a Port at Onitsha and he gets the votes os south Eastern Nigeria.
3.Revive textile Companies in the North and wipe out Boko Haram.Mechanised Agriculture and gets the votes of Northerners.
4.Revive Railway to be functional before 2014.
5.Improve power supply
6.Open up employment opportunities in the public sectors to absorb 60 percent of unemployed citizens.
7.Cleared all outstanding pensions and salary areas
8.Jailed some indicted corrupt persons

Nigerians are used to Military leaders who behaves like zombie and this is the first time we are been ruled by a civilian with no military background.GEJ has allowed the rule of Law to take his course.That is why we have so many unresolved corrupt pending cases.OBJ was throwing them and manupulating the Judicial process.It is pertinent to note that even the Judiciary who have failed to perform their own functions also accuse GEJ of failure.I watch with intrest people like Tinubu hurling insult at GEJ.Why wasn't he bold enough to challenge OBJ when Lagos state allocation was withheld?[/b]Even Lai Mohammed who has no visible means of livelihood challenge the president.The Irony is that most of Nigerians hurling insult at GEJ can not even run their families.[b]GEJ is just one year in power and want Nigeria to become Eldorado all of a sudden.I am even surprise that people don't even critize their state Governors who are actually responsibe to initiate development that will improve the lives of their citizens at the grassroots quicker.
We also need to start focusing our energy on our State Governors the way we have been expanding our energy fighting GEJ.I have not gain anything from his Government but I think we need to give him a chance.We should resist all the enemies within who Masquarading as Agents of change and advocting violence to push forward their evil agenda while their families are abroad and can afford to jet out once situation gets out of control leaving us behind to face the consequences.
GEJ alone can not change this country.All of us have a positive rule to play in moving this country forward.

homerac7:


at bolded;

1. Alhaji Usman Shehu Shagari

2. Salami-gate and Gbenga Daniel vs Ogun House of Assembly for exaples

3. what do you think led to the witholhing? o you know that it was fought up to the Supreme court and Tinubu/Lagos State Govt floored FG?

4. Sorry, who's Nigeria's president in May 2010 (some 2 years ago)?

points above shows you are part of the deluded masses.

Demdem: The retardeen will obviously be a poisonous market to sell come 2015. His no shoes tori will definitely not work. Infact, the killer party (PDP) itself is a no-no by 2015

Johndoe100: @gbawe
1999 to 2035 -->PDP gets aso rock, senate, reps & most states. 1999 to 2035 -->AD/ACN/CPC/ANPP gets Nairaland. Fair trade.

oiseworld:

funny reta.rd at it again, if jonathan is bad market you should know that a boko haramist would be the worst market.

jmaine: We are in June 2012 and yet people are falling over themselves predicting and projecting the course of events in 2015 . . . .
