hedonistic:
The problem is that perceptions or assessments of "performance" are often subjective and laced with biases. Otherwise, it should be easy to acknowledge that GEJ has achieved significant progress on many fronts - a bigger economy, agriculture, industry/FDI, rail transport, stronger democratic institutions (free and fair elections, freedom of speech and other liberties), etc. Even in terms of corruption, Nigeria now ranks lower on Transparency International's Corruption Index than was the case under Obasanjo.

In the end, the main issue that has been used to discredit and condemn this government is the so called insecurity caused by Boko Haram, which is clearly an artificial problem set up by the North to reclaim power. That is the basis for all the anti-Goodluck noise, and that is why the south south would never accept that their son would be stampeded out of office by such nonsense. If that happens, they would also prove that no region has a monopoly of violence. This is the crux of the matter.

Remove this stage-managed Boko Haram distraction and rate Goodluck objectively based on tangible performance metrics. If he has failed woefully, I'm sure nobody in the South would complain if he loses the election fair and square. But we in the South can see through this so called Boko Haram insurgency and we realise it is a well-orchestrated ploy to make the country ungovernable for GEJ and blackmail him out of office to make way for the parasitic northerners. That is completely unacceptable.

You are an Igboman isn't it?I am sure you an Igboman and your fellow kinsmen will lead the uprising. I wonder when SS/Ijaw matter has become your concern to the extent that you nd some of your kinsmen are chestbeating on our behalf. It shall not be well with you if you don't keep to your empty threat come May 29.

barcanista:
Coward! I am actually appealing to you and your empty chest beating vagabonds to make a VERY strong statement come May 29 after Buhari is sworn in. Mark my word, you are an empty drum, and a blocked head. One thing about the Ijaws as examplified by the GREAT Isaac Adaka Boro is that we don't fight over a non issue, we also don't burn our towns for politics. We fight when our interests is threatened, even at that we are cautious so as not to offend the spirit of the Ijaw nation. Anyway, do I need to tell you this? Please pick up arms and start the trouble. If you are waiting for Dokubo then you are on a long thing, because Dokubo will NOT a thing.

barcanista:
Who in South South will pick up arms to fight because a failed project called Jonathan was boothed out? i know my people, we are not foolish. We have our demands and Jonathan isn't part of it. His Presidency is his own pocket, just like Sambo's VP is his own pocket. My brothers, Sisters and I want a better life. We want an abrupt end to unemployment in our region, we want security, we are tired of seeing some few criminals from our region and politicians enjoying alone and then shout "South South" when it doesn't favor them. Specifically, no one Ijaw, not even people of Otuoke will shed tears for Mr. Goodluck Jonathan. Whoever think that he has the ability to disrupt the peace of the South South and specifically the Ijaw nation should test his/her might from May 29. Incoming President Muhammadu Buhari and the entire South South People will put that bastard(s) to his/her place.

God Bless SS
God Bless Ijaw Nation
God Bless Nigeria

GEJ has done a lot in the North
1). Education: The establishment of 9 federal universities most of them in the North and the 200 Almajiri schools established all over the North is a brilliant strategy to reduce the over 10million out of school kids in Nigeria who are mostly from the North.
BH thrives there because of the Almajiris system that ensures the availability of several street kids that are easy prey of the nafarious characters that sponsor violence in the region.

This administration is the only one that has deemed it fir to address the root cause of the problem by giving this street kids an oppurtunity of an education that can change their future rather than encourage the barbaric practices.

2). Airport: Under jonathan many airports in the north has been renovated and repositioned to better serve the people, Jos airport, kano, kaduna, yola etc have all been refurbished these facilities were abandoned by previous administration.
GEJ has also made it easy for state government in the north to build and operate their own airport hence States like Jigawa, Kebbi, bauchi have built and commissioned spanking new airport for their citizens.

3) Railways : Lagos - kano trains are now functional, a railway that was abandoned for 3 decades has been reactivated by GEJ. the port harcourt - maiduguri railway is undreway and trains are running fro PH to Enugu as we speak and will run from PH to Maidugri before the end of the year.

Abuja Light rail is at an advanced staage of construction.

Abuja - Kaduna standard rail line has been completed and is awaiting the arrival of coaches that will begin the passenger service the First quarter of 2015.

the warri to ajaokuta standard rail is also complete and awaiting the arrival of coaches for passenger service to commence.

The railways will ensure that the agricultural produce in the north will easily get to the areas of demand in the south and will also arrive the seaport for onward export to foreign countries thereby improving the lives of the farmers in the North.

4) Agriculture : This administration has taken the bull by the horn by removing the corruption in fertilizer procurement and seedlings procurement in Agricultural sector in this country, thereby ensuring that farmers get their inputs on time, fertilizer and seedlings are getting to farmers that need it and not to corrupt politicians as before, and today Nigeria is almost self sufficient in rice production, No 1 in the world in cassava production. paddy rice pyramids are back in the north. Tomatoes processing plants are being set up in the north to check loss in harvest and cargo facilities are being built in airports in the north to export our perishable veggies.

This is just to mention but a few of what this government has done for the North, GEJ has substance to campaign in the north and the masses and people in the north are feeling the FG impacts there Despite the current politically motivated violence that has permeated the region, the only people who are mad at GEJ are the 'born to rule' peeps who see nothing good in any leader that is not a northerner. They will be taught a valuable lesson in 2015.

babadee1:
What exactly has Jonathan done for the people of the Niger Delta? How can you be happy that "your son" is president when after six years under him your people have gained nothing. Buhari will do a much better job of developing the Niger Delta than Jonathan has done.

Adminisher:
Jonathan is not winning any elections.
Nigeria is too big to be threatened. Please believe that. If any South South state shuts down oil production, they are courting hunger and penury. If you think hunger is glamorous please try to imagine what the sound of a hungry baby does to the mind of a parent. Don't even go where you should not. A naval blockade for one month and no transfers from the federation accounts will ground a state completely. Crime will rise and inter ethnic tensions will commence. Refugees will flood everywhere and the UN will be begging the federal government to temper justice with mercy. Let us not rain curses on ourselves. If the federal fiscal structure needs to be dealt with Jonathan had six years to do it and he was too much of a coward to do it. Maybe the man Buhari who does not care for billions will be the person to eventually ensure fiscal federalism with each region controlling its wealth but not by threats or militancy. Trouble no good.

Phame:
@ujoinme. I hope u stayed till the end of the campaign? As at d time buhari and apc got to the venue, the truck was still bringing in plastic chairs for people to sit- this goes to show the event was yet to start when buhari arrived. As the event progressed, i guess u saw how the crowd 'swelled'. The event , in my view was done in a rush, hence, the way u saw it at d begining of the rally. From there, they headed to calabar. And in calabar, it took them 5hr to organise for his arrival- it was not planned to hold, but they went ahead with it.

2sExy1:
As much as I will want GEJ out by February, Akpabio has done well for his people far more than what Fashola can offer in a long. I don't join issues but will stand for the truth at all time. So, there is no way that ujoinme is suffering and smiling because his governor delivered exceedingly well on the mandate. Akpabio is the BEST governor in the history of Nigeria. Take that to the bank!

bashydemy:
Oga forget story we all see the crowd in River state, Beside AKS is a PD strong hold you never except large turn out for APC campaign and also crowd does not guarantee votes so watch out for SW and North Campaign.

ujoinme:
Who are you trying to decieve? A presidential campaign team in a mega rally in Uyo the capital of a state with 5million people yet APC cannot fill the 5000 capacity uyo LGA stadium even with all the paid supporters? how will they win in AKS?

TunjiMsp:
have you heard of Abraham Lincoln, the Lincoln of naija is here # vote for change#

demelza:
And under whose regime are these atrocities happening?
Who is the present Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces who has no clue about the power of his position?
If you people want to keep suffering and smiling, its your business. Dont drag down the rest of us who are standing up for change.

ujoinme:
The brand new stadium which competes with the best in the world
the new Airport and MRO in Akwa Ibom
The over 4000 classroom blocks
The bi - campus state university
The over 1900km of roads and counting
the new E library first in Nigeria
to mention but a few of what PDP has achieved in Akwa Ibom If this is the suffering you are referring to, then thats the kind of suffering we want in Akwa Ibom and i do know a lot of states in Nigeria will welcome such suffering.

If you taught that the job of govt is to by you food and give you pocket money you are very wrong. govt provides infrastructure which PDP has done in AKS. Its your job to leverage on the opportunities provided by this infrastructures.
There is free education in Akwa Ibom and the new university and federal polytechnic provides more avenue for you to get education which were not available just 5 yrs ago avail yourself of this opportunity.

otbliz:
Na d local stadium dem give am...
Lol

demelza:
We dont care about the south-south votes. You people are irrelevant when it comes to national politics.
We are only waiting for the rally in the states and regions that matter.

I believe you have in your possession the vouchers showing the diversion. Besides, your jesus christ (GEJ) is at the centre, why can't he use EFCC on Amaechi. Let me guess... He is got no balls, his wife is possibly using his by pushing Wike.
