Demdem: I dont hate him. he is a wonderful gentleman. I just hate the dumbness and cluelessness he brings to Governance. He sucks terribly in this aspect.

that's all i need the truth yes gej seems like a nice man but he just not ready for a job like president he's hardly ready for any type of job like a farmer at best hes lazy and vulnerable. the only reason why i said he 'seems' like nice man is because his always smiling like you amazing Nigerians.he's
not doing a good job and he the worst performer by income of how much the country earns. and his acts like a confused idiot.

too much people in that place you call Nigeria it needs to relax and send people back to where they belong especially in lagos

26 is that alright for you

listen you go on youtube and watch documentaries about independence genocides and democracy and you will be surprised what you will see i have a enough evidence me im a victim of this man so shut your mouth about evidence and when you watch all these videos the are really easy to find just type Nigeria and what the views i have and when you see or hear what people who witnessed what happened and who saw there family being killed by this man rolling in a jeep with the police killing innocent people in the villages they invaded and also people who protested. i will not argue with you know may GOD bless your soul and forgive you for your ignorance.and yes i have been taught about this man when i was in secondary school in lewisham London .and the curriculum is still teaching horrible famous genocides like this man doing.this arguement has officially ended im a very young success story.

why are you doing this ok i am an economist who works with the British government and in secondary school in England the second year they learn about this mans crazy genocide mate it only takes one year to develop Nigeria he destroyed he did not do nothing i don't want to argue with you there's videos and pictures of himself killing innocent people and hold yes obasanjo did bring democracy back go learn some history about Nigeria then come back when you learn a bit and stop posting your corrupt newspaper articles it's just a waste of time.you can not compare the western world to a African black leader the African of course is lying and is more corrupt.and wiki leaks never lies so check it out and go watch documentaries about sani abacha and how democracy reached Nigeria. Becuase obasanjo wanted democracy and wole Soyinka and other great nobles like abiola they were thrown in jail by this evil human and you are here talking crap. abiola lost his life because abacha was scared and was a coward if that the elections went through abiola will win. obasanjo may be corrupt but fighting corruption was not his thing it was democracy and he brought it. abacha killed nigeria he took away the culture of Nigerians protesting when they fell threatened and if they have a problem but its slowly coming back.

why are you so stubborn ask any Nigerian why is Nigeria democrat because of obasanjo he fought and was locked in jail because of that man your making noise about you need to close this thread and think because my family was killed by him police could have caused the murder but it was his ordering. but i strongly believe that everyone should have there opinion and that's whats killing Nigeria there scared they will get killed if they do or locked in jail by there leaders but in those days Nigerian were smarter they protested so much and allot of people died because of sani abacha(who else would order there innocent deaths).if he was visionary he would have developed the country or did something that touched the people not let them cry then die.i wont argue no more you deserve your own opinion.sorry.

ok if i tell you this guy killed some of my family hey for standing for there rights will you believe me when i was little and be raised in England i heard so much negative news about this man then one day i heard my auntie and uncle had died for standing for there rights i wont lie to you i have meet this man in court (not him exactly) his personal adviser and lawyer i won because they court trial was England and there was enough evidence persecuting him. and who do you think you are to say things like that Nigeria witnessed allot of pain i don't want to insult you i'm a very peaceful guy and i wont embarrass myself online look at wiki leaks and that's just one of my sources i work with the British government so i know very much well what happened
sorry for my mistake he ruled 5 years and did nada.

Sincere 9gerian: I hate to reply DIE HARD critics because somehow they dont seem to reason with their head. Do you expect Jonathan to solve all of Nigeria's problem in 2 or 3yrs or somehow you'r just being mischievous because your preferred candidate failed at the 2011 elections? I hate to think you'r paid to oppose everything Jonathan online because if i'm wrong it becomes a blackmail. But this is exactly what Jonathan's DIE HARD critics do daily- label anyone who writes in favour of the govt a paid commenter hoping to silence every opposing view. But the truth can never be silenced. The truth is that Nigeria's problems can never be solved in 2 or 4yrs. Some of the problems Jonathan inherited will take 4 or more years to be solved or for progress to be obvious if we want to be realistic. THE NIGERIAN SOLUTION WILL COME IN STAGES, no magic wand. The propaganda by some persons like you that except everything gets better, Jonathan is not working cannot be right. Certainly everything cannot get better at the same time. Moreover, if Jonathan's predecessors had delivered even 25% of what he is currently doing, certainly Jonathan wont have inherited a ROTTEN country. Where were your likes when this country was run aground? The glaring TRUTH is that progress is being here and there. Lets just list some progress that is being made-
1) sanity in the political process and free and fair elections. Seek ye first the kingdom of free and fair elections and all other things shall be added unto you. Debates, performance in office, etc are now issues during elections.
2) our airports are no longer the same. So much reconstruction is either completed or ongoing. This implies good times for air travellers and better image for the country.
3) port reforms have reduced time for clearing of goods from over 39days to less than 2wks. This will facilitate trade and commerce which will in turn lead to more jobs.
3) trains are gradually coming back. The plan is to gradually restore the old light guage while construction of fast standard guage goes on. The restored trains will provide subsidized transport services for the very poor and boost trade and commerce along those corridors.
4) creation of 9 new federal universities. These 9 new universities, a part from creating access to higher education for residents of the states where they are located also provide JOB opportunities for many more people- academic and non-academic staff
5) construction of Almajiri schools in the north- will boost access to basic education and provide employment opportunity for mallams
6) dredging of inland rivers and restoration of inland ports- again this will boost trade and commerce and create jobs
7) massive re-construction of the roads
power sector reforms and privatisation. Like it or not, reforms and privatisation of PHCN is the only path to sustainable improvement in power supply and this govt is almost seeing it thru.
9) polio eradication- the federal govt in collaboration with the states have set out plans to eradicate polio by 2015.
10) fiscal policies- foreign reserve is rising, naira is stable, sovereign wealth fund, increasing excess crude account, recent upgrade by S & P rating, reduced recurrent aspect of the budget by about 5% in 2yrs, etc
11) YOUWIN, agricultural revolution plans and other job creation ventures. Etc, etc. However, this does not imply that the govt has done all things right but I believe that they have done more things right and if they are areas in which not much has been done, like fighting corruption, we can specify those areas and discuss them. But dont forget that corruption has been with us since Independence and was the main reason for the Nzeogwu led coup.

i think you lot forgot about me now you might not care but let me say i am a successful economist and i have seen what you might not every seen Nigeria has the best laws you can find dating back to the British period they are just not enforced if they were good luck will in prison by now.Nigeria can develop itself and it nieghbouring in a year with the amount of money that comes in and can solve its problems very quickly example the arab world no more to it.

instead of making states i strongly believe they should join states instead of making them.if i was in power i would have only five states and if i really wanted i will have three one will be the yorubaland then the other igboland and the last one huasaland or "nothern nigerian state" and i would do it in ignorance.

NIGERIANS you love deceiving yourself he's a very horrible man and extremely corrupt he ruled for eight years he did nada he did not develop the country he stole so much and committed one of the brutal genocides Africa has ever seen babaginda saved your lives the only problem with babaginda is that his extremely corrupt but his era focused on helping listening and acting fast with the people and development and by far the most transparent president Nigeria has ever seen.

Frank-C:
None of you have really refuted what he has said. The truth is that GEJ has been good for Ndigbo and they can prove it. When the elction campaign starts, GEJ will point out these things which an average Joe in the street can verify and then, it won't be absolute rubbish.

The Good Governance tour has been to Kwara, Nassarawa, Benue and Plateau and we can see what the FG is doing. These things are not on internet, they are on ground and the REAL people that vote see it.

The fact is that at the pace GEJ is going, in 2015, he will have strong proof that we can trust him for another 4 years if he decides to run. The only thing that any logical person can have against GEJ is that he is not very charismatic or inspirational, not performance, not grit. He has actually taken tougher, more guided and intelligent decisions than our other recent leaders. When all these noises and soundbites settle down, Nigerians will chose their next president.

okay im new too nairaland born and raised in north london so is my dad but we originate from nigeria and im a succesful econimist i work in canary warf now i have been home too nigeria several times and i have studied the african economy but mostly the west african states NIGERIA ONLY TAKES AT MAXIMUM 12 MONTHS TO DEVELOP a year. the only time nigeria had a contructive boom was obasanjos buhari and yakubus time in 1970s and that was not still good enough. Nigerians need to start using there brains people like abacha ruled for up to eight years stole 250 billions us dollars and got away with it he killed so many people (he was a dictator) some of my family was killed becuase there were trying to stand up and fight for there rights.
