Pharoh:

I see nothing wrong in asking for the question to be debated, they are more of a topic and he is right in asking for advanced knowledge about this questions. Better still they should just strike those contentious issues out of the debate like the Jos crisis, excess crude account, foreign reserve or anything related to the budget. I would not have even gone far like this if i was goodluck, there is absolutely no point in having a debate before a presidential election.

Opuso:

Dr.Goodluck Jonathan is thebest amongst all the candidates jostling for that office.

Power generation has improved, fuel scarcity is a thing of the past. There is a uniform pricing of petroleum products
around the country. Flood victims in states like Sokoto and Lagos were taken care of by Dr. Goodluck Jonathan´s government.
Nigerian citizens in Egypt and Lybia were evacuated when violence engulfed the place. He has provided funding for the Nigerian film industry.
His intervention in the textile industry has saved thosands of jobs. Investors confidence in the Nigerian economy is rising. Oil production will increase to pre militancy levels next month.

If Nigerians have been very critical of the likes of Obasanjo, Babangida e.t.c i dont think things would have degenerated to this level.

Please leave Jonathan and his people alone !!!!! What do you Nigerians want?

FG bars service chiefs, ministers, others from use of tinted glasses
News Feb 25, 2011
Jonathan, Sambo, Mark, Bankole exempted

By KINGSLEY OMONOBI

ABUJA – The Federal Government, yesterday, announced the ban of the use of tinted glasses by Nigerians, including the Service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, ministers, members of the National Assembly, Judges and other top government officials.

Minister of Police Affairs, Mr Humphrey Abah, who made the announcement, yesterday, however noted that President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo, Senate President David Mark and his deputy, Speaker of the House of Representatives and his deputy as well as state governors and their deputies were exempted from the use of tinted glasses.

Explaining reasons for the ban, which is to commence from Monday, the minister said the measure was part of security strategies being put in place to guarantee security in the build up to the April general elections to “help us overcome the challenges of modern crimes like bombings, terrorists acts and the movement of arms and explosives.”

Disclosing that by his announcement, all hitherto permits or authorisation given in the past for the use of tinted glasses stood cancelled, the minister stated that vehicles with factory fitted tinted glasses which are verifiable would be exempted from the ban in the interim.

He said the government action was covered under the Motor Vehicles Prohibition of Tainted Glass Act Cap M21 (An Act to prohibit the tainting or treating in any other way, any glass fitted in a motor vehicle so as to render persons in the vehicle obscure or invincible), adding that all states Police Commissioners are to ensure strict compliance with the directive.

On punitive measures to be meted out to those who ignore the government directive, the minister said any such violator would have him or herself to blame [size=15pt]as Policemen at checkpoints had been given directives to stop such cars and physically remove such tints from the vehicles once it is discovered to be fitted films[/size].

marvix:

A lot of GEJ supporters have already decided that Silence is the best answer to the jobless majority on Nairaland,

marvix:

those criticising GEJ today where the same people who could not reason when Yaradua was sick that Yaradua was not the problem they screamed GEJ TAKE OVER!!!! but today they are confused again.
maybe their misconception is that the protests during the Yaradua saga was what produced GEJ, I make bold to say that the protests had nothing to do with GEJ becoming President, GEj only knew that caution always has to be taken when attempting to drink a hot soup, and what soup could have been hotter than the Presidency of the nation?

GEj is campaigning now, Buhari does not even have a campaign office in more than 20states and Ribadu does not even know if he really wants to run with his vice then tomorrow they will be complaining that they were rigged out.

steroid:

Some Achievements of GEJ include:

no fuel scarcity

four airlines (Arik, Continental, Delta and United), with direct flights from the United States (US)

five functional international airports.

the reopening of three textile mills in Kaduna that had previously been closed including the United Nigeria Textile Mills Ltd.; which has reopened as a result of accessing funds from the N200 billion textile industry bail out funds leading to the re engagement of 2000 workers that were laid off when the company went out of business.

addition of one new Federal University in each of the six geo-politcal zones for which work has already begun. The six new federal universities did not exist last year

etc,

Excllncy:

Our humble President Jonathan like Obama may not have the records and experience Buhari has, but he is the most democratic of all of them, with the fear of God and the determination to liberate our country. We believe in him and we know that he'll do well. Anybody who wants to change his paternity to Buharis is free to do so, but we will vote for Jonathan.

stine b:

Im begining to think otherwise about Nairaland.was it created to be an Anti GEJ forum? Please someone should let me know.
Some negative elements here keep embarking on Destructive criticism on the Commander-In-Chief of the Federal Republic,when they can not even run their own homes.If i may ask, which Presidential Candidate has a 100% track record in the past and present?You are all entitled to your opinions,keep it to yourselfs and let us have peace.You think you can change anything by opening up your gutters on NL? Why dont you just Wait and vote for your choice candidates in April and stop Making Nairaland annoying and Boring.GEJ FOR PRESIDENT 2011-PEOPLES CHOICE.
