Former Minister of Justice Andonkkaa  or whatever his name was wanted $20 Million ( NIGERIAN TYPE OF PRIVATISATION) before signing documents that will allow a company Operate in Nigeria.  Which forward thinking Company will pay such outrageous amount.

Even the better trained (and likely better paid) police corps are a menace on the roads thanks to their weaponry. Now you want to arm the folks and set them loose on the general public?

Utterly brainless move.
Lol  - We have a country where everything concerning the government has failed  - Yet the government wants to arm another failed institution  rather than tackle the underlying issues.  How many more road blocks are we going to have on the roads because of the brainless move.

PoliticsNass Will Never Pass Single Term Bill – Mamora by blacksta(op): 2:24pm On Aug 03, 2011
“I am really disappointed at him that after the overwhelming support and mandate Nigerians gave him in the last election, all he could do now is start talking about tenure. Is Jonathan not aware that there are a lot of expectations based on the countless number of problems facing us as a nation?” Mamora wondered.
He said the economy, unemployment, poverty, insecurity, Boko Haram, infrastructure, education, health, transportation, and roads all demand urgent attention.
“Power problem is also there
. So, how will a single term proposal solve all these problems.


“There is no way the proposed Bill will be passed because I know that legislators will not act against the wishes of their people.
“The entire people of the country are averse to the proposal because that is not what they expected from (Jonathan).”
Some eminent Nigerians, leaders of ethnic nationalities, and pro-democracy activists under the aegis of Project Nigeria, National Consensus Group, have also lent their voice to the convocation of a constitutional conference to produce a people’s Constitution.

PoliticsThe Clock Is Ticking, When Will President Jonathan Start? by blacksta(op): 2:20pm On Aug 03, 2011
[b]EVERY achiever has some kind of work plan. It would outline not only the success he seeks, but also timelines and deadlines [/b]aimed at achieving the objective. It is known as strategic planning. Timelines are a key component of strategic thinking; they help the planner keep his deadlines and warn him he may be running out of room to run. The President Goodluck Jonathan Countdown Calendar is fast ticking. It shows 1398 days left of his Presidency.



A caveat is necessary: only the Nigerian constitution guarantees those 1398 days; they are of no consequence to exigencies such as Egypt-style revolutions, labour rebellions, student uprisings or military mutinies. And the only one guaranteed is today. This is my second presidential countdown calendar.

Among other things, the calendar can help the serious leader ensure he does not sleep too much or read too many banal speeches. It can help him guarantee policy implementation, and that funds are honestly invested on the future. It can help him achieve sincerity.

In February and March, this year, Mr. President showered every corner of Nigeria with promises. The countdown, as a work tool, can ensure that not only does he always remember those debts that he gleefully incurred during that period; but that he is conscious of the limited time he has to pay them.

The calendar will remind him of the people waiting for him, because he promised them jobs, electricity, education, water, roads, freedom from kidnappers, and even a sense of national pride.

It will remind him, for instance, of the N50 billion he said in Ondo State on March 2 that he had set aside in the 2011 budget for youth employment. It will remind him what he said in Abeokuta on March 12 that he would revive ailing oil refineries and build new ones, and in Abuja on March 21 that he will build car manufacturing or assembly plants. Since no achiever can finish something he has not started, when is Jonathan starting?



What was even more impressive about Jonathan's strategy four months ago was his announcement of specific four and five years national plans. They include a five-year development acceleration scheme; a four-year plan for infrastructure development, and a five-year plan to revolutionise agriculture and establish industries in the country.

He was also occasionally specific and lucid. In Gusau, he promised to establish a Federal University of Technology within one year. In Ilorin, he promised the farmers agricultural loans; he said were ready to be given to them. In Birni Kebbi, he pledged to ensure the takeoff of the Federal University in Kebbi in 2012. In Awka, he said Nigerians would have electricity within his four years in office. In Osogbo, he promised the immediate completion of the Lagos-Jebba rail project.

As I pointed out in "A Mountain of Promises" on May 22, Jonathan's most significant promise was in Onitsha on February 27.

He told Nigerians: "I do not make empty promises in my campaign, because whatever I promise to do, I had already carried out adequate study to make sure I can accomplish it in the next four years." Not once did he promise six, let alone seven. Jonathan also has another promise he has repeatedly made on his Facebook page:

"I will never, never, let you down," he says.

This is why I believe a man like him needs such a tool as this calendar. It will help combat the temptations of amnesia, hypocrisy and indolence.



It will help remind him that the power in his hands is beyond compare: when he wanted to buy three executive jets, for instance, he simply announced that the order had been placed. His jets are arriving now.

The Nigerians, who said they believed in him, are waiting not for any jets, but for proof he is a credible man, and that he did not sell them fiction. I did not support Jonathan's presidential aspiration, because it lacked the content and purposefulness demanded by the Nigerian marketplace. You do not send for a nurse when surgery is required, and my Nigeria needs drastic surgery.

If Jonathan truly wants to "transform" Nigeria, let him begin by serving the constitution, not rewriting it. If he serves creditably, the country will listen to him when he is out of office. The spirit of the constitution is that people who administer Nigeria do so with conscience and patriotism. On the contrary, what we have got from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) since 1999 has been the utmost in political irresponsibility, alongside systematic, greedy and ruthless exploitation.

Early in 2010, Before Jonathan insisted on running for the Presidency, he had some credibility when he said he wanted to embark on electoral reform. All went down the river the moment he became a player in the same game he wanted to referee.


It is strange that once armed with a Presidency, he claimed he only wanted for four years, during which he said he would transform the country, and he says the four years are too short. The truth is that for as long as the focus is on power, not performance, no amount of time will ever be long enough.

The Countdown Calendar would remind Mr. Jonathan four years is a long time if he counts with his heart, because it is by the heart you love your country. A farmer sows in the planting season, and works until the harvest; he does not sit on his hands and cry that the harvest is coming too soon.

The way I understand it, President Jonathan celebrates the good luck that has carried him this far. One of his army of advisers may want to point out that in view of the job Jonathan defined for himself in his electoral campaign, and the shoes and jets he now owns, it is his choice to focus on luck, or work.

Some people amaze me here! GEJ is barely 3 months in office and some people are already judging him and comparing him with past leaders.

To be honest, no one can confidently say GEJ is a successful leader or failure now. But we can confidently say that of our past leaders.

Thats what this thread is all about. Choose your strong leader and say what he has done.

Nigerians should be patient,  in four years time ( as Promised)  GEJ name will be added to list. You can make good  comparison then.

Remember all these leaders where celebrated when they first  came into power, it was their end that actually proved whether they were really strong leaders or failures.

Omo_Tier1:
To answer your question simply, your thrust is affirmitive and it is obvious that Nigerians have long been denied genuine, true and purposeful leadership which obviously have stunted the growth and development of the country, nationalizing corruption, casting abroad poverty, and idolizing criminality.

Regardless, permit me to say that You are the least of all men born of a woman to talk about 'strong' of 'purposeful' leadership!

Excuse me to ask what beclouded your reasoning all through the period you vehemently projected a leadership to rule nigeria, when it was so obvious that this same leadership is bereft of ideas to change the lives of the nigerian citizens.
