berem: can't you be sincere with your comments for once? what has ACN got to do with the vandalism of PHCN transformers? Is Lagos the only state where vandalism takes place?I don't know where you are driving at but you should try and reduce this malicious attitude of yours towards non pdp states.

ritux: If Nigeria had lost, all the TB Joshua antagonist would have been here saying he is fake.

take dat: How is it my responsibility to ensure efficient management in public corporations? Isn't that why we have a bureaucracy and minister of transportation who is answerable to the president? Why should government embark on an exercise and its monitoring will prove difficult? Isn't the @Op protesting with this thread and that of the Vanguard link I gave? Well, I am not surprised cos I know you to always fawn on GEJ.
I don't need GEJ to run my home for me other than doing what he was elected to do and getting it "right", only an harebrained schizo like you would!

PapaBrowne: I remember when GSM came to Nigeria. You call a number 20 times before it connects. But today you can call 100 times before it messes up.
I remember when internet first came to the world, checking mail was as slow as a snail. Today we watch live TV.
I remember when TVs first came to planet earth. They weren't flat screens but huge big boxes with black and white pictures.
I remember the first day I first saw a camera phone, it was like WOOOW. To think that it wasn't even a smartphone...
I remember the first day I tried to drive. I thought it was impossible. But today I probably can run a LORRY.


The moral is simple. The most important thing is to start. And then grow and grow and grow and grow!!
We have started. Slow and dastardly as it seems. We have started. Tommorow, or next year or a decade from now, we would have moved up the ladder and the trains would be faster. Our rail tracks that were ignored by all the past administrations have started moving again.
Even if the trains are slow for passengers, 21 hrs is not out of place for goods that previously ran on lorries.

Slowly and steadily, transformation is taking place... from Airports to Roads to Seaports to Railways... the evidence is made clearer by the fact that previous governments ignored all these things for decades!


I will end with the fact that while China is building SuperSonic railway systems, America and Europe that we love to reference are not able to do same because the cost requirements are enormous. Nigeria is not a rich country. Oil money is peanuts and would never build is speed trains.
There is a place and time for everything. We must start somewhere. If we dont start here, we will never start.

Wadeoye: The same old rusty train and GEJ buutlickers are making noise. Is this the transformation he promised?

Eko Ile: Goodluck Jonathan's Administration is now the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria. Look at this analysis:

ANALYSIS


Crude oil production per day 2.5 million

Current price per Barrel 113 US dollars

Daily oil revenue 2.5 x 113 = 282.5 million US dollars

Monthly Sales 282.5 million X 30 days = 8.475 billion

Yearly Sales 8.4475 billion X 12 = 101.7 billion US dollars

Naira equivalent 101.7 billion X 160 naira = 16.272 trillion naira per year

Nigeria's Budget for 2012 = 4.5 trillion naira

Surplus money 16.272

- 4.5

11.772 trillion naira



So, Goodluck Jonathan answers this question: Where is the surplus money of 11.772 trillion naira every year?


The question is: what is Goodluck Jonathan doing to stop this day light burglary of public trust and looting of public treasury by his cronies, allies, friends, and acquaintances? I rest my biro-pen for now.

Dignitary: What's all dis nonsense about praising GEJ for 'power supply'...The 'celebrated' improvement in power generation is due to unprecedented rainfall and not as a result of any policy (?) of GEJ!!!

Electricity generation is back to the OBJ years of 3714 megawatts!!! Fresh air indeed.

# it's a very hard time for GEJ's supporters...the only thing they've been counting as GEJ's achievement has been rubbished by the law of nature which says : 'YOU CANNOT REAP WHAT YOU DON'T SOW'.

*My source is the Nigerian Tribune -http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/4160-power-output-drops-to-record-low-of-3714-mw

CyberG: There is no way a leaking basket will be full even if you pour more water into it. Retardeen, all the crap you talked about is no good if as corruption and thievery is eating the land: sweeping Ribadu report under the table, # 4 B for your useless fat wife, 1 B for feeding, 9 B for Sambo, $67 B squandered (Ezekwesili), police college rot which you pretended about, set up another useless committee, tribal scandals which you secretly encourage: Ihejirika, customs; you don't give a damn to declare your assets a clear violation of Nigerian laws and lack of leadership by example, moronic display and retardeen if lies on CNN while ignoring Nigeria media, disillusionment of Nigerians by your fellow accursed goons like Abati, Okupe, Omokri, Beafass, Insincere Nigerian, ETC. So all your long epistle on FB is bullshit and Nigerians and foreigners aint buying it!!

ypzilanti: Let me ask you this question: At what point did the people who voted for Jonathan become the people who hate Jonathan. I did not vote for him, but many of his critics on NL and those I know personally did. People are dissillusioned with his pace of work and his penchant for awarding frivolous sums to himself and his crew for rubbish. They are also not pleased with his hands off approach to corruption. Those are the issues. GEJ should address the issues to improve his popularity and stop chasing shadows. as things are, he already lost 50% of those who voted for him in 2011.

taharqa: Just watched the programme Now and am DISGUSTED at the extremely 'bad Journalism' that she put together in that short clip.

She gathered just 3 persons in Lagos and asked them to say something about their power supply, and all of them said that power had not increased and that they had not had light for 3 weeks!!! Those are the views of an average Nigerian, right? *smh*.

I stay in Benin and Power has improved on my end for many many months now except for some few times when there are National issues, like last Friday till Wednesday this week when we had a terrible supply probably cos of the new Benin-Onitsha Transmission Line repairs. THIS IS FACT.

Amanpour just behaved as badly as that other CNN presenter (the Kenya Guy- I have forgotten his name) who presented an extremely wrong programme on the Niger Delta crisis some years ago, and just like this programme also gathered FAKE persons to conduct his interviews. Nigeria protested, He was SACKED and that ended his International career. She ought to know better.

OAM4J: Can somebody help us remind Uncle Joe that time is running out.

All we have so far are mere words, promises at best.

We need results and am not seeing any yet.

I wonder what excuse he now has, the cabals are no longer in power and yaradua don reach heaven/hell.

Its about time he change his wife's name from Patience to Quick-action cos some of us are running out of patience.

Ogbonaikenna: and you think by pulling Gej down we will have the chance to produce the next president? Once they succeed namadi sambo or buhari will take over, and they will retain it till God knows when. So, that's the point my dear. Igbos will probably have the chance in 2019. So lets keep supporting Gej by all means.

chukwudi44: The national assembly has no say in the affairs of the military!!!

tomakint: Nigeria's problem is more than meet the eyes, this current system of government (pseudo-democracy) is too expensive and wasteful to move Nigeria forward not even Fashola will 'fix anything' if he emerges! We need a system that will stem the level of exuberance that is attached to this system of government, perhaps a "CONFAB" might be necessary as a major step to bring about this 'new system'!

ballabriggs: I read Labaran Maku's response to Obiageli Ezekwesili's lecture at the University of Nigeria Nsukka and I find it quite foolish and unintelligent. I majored in International Capital flows and Finance and I must confess I have never in my life read such a lame defence by anyone on a nations depleting reserves. Fact is Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala could never have come out to give such a foolish response. If they try it, they lose their reputation as every knowledgeable Economist would have questioned their knowledge.

So it was a case of who shall we send and it had to be no other than the low life called Labaran Maku. RIP Labaran Maku, you have no life.

Donmams: Some of the comments here are pretty dumb! First of all elrufai only retweeted the so called 'offensive' joke. Secondly gov't sponsored fools on social media were hired to rubbish the man's name. But as usual, a highly corrupt gov't uses the religious card to play on the sensitivities of nigerians. And from the responses here there are still many stupid nigerians who fall for the trick!

valicious1: The naval spokesperson is a born hardened LIAR. The Nigerian navy I know would NEVER Plead with any policeman on earth in situations like this. He s just twisting the story to generate public sentiments on their favour.

Gorrbachev: Leave Ibori alone. Why is one person being single out for persecution when 90% of Jonathan Administration are thieves.

cjfavour: Get this straight bro. I'm nt against u questioning GEJ for anything.He's a golden fish dt has no hidding place. To me if he can't take d heat,he shld get out of d kitchen. My point is dt the evil man OBJ implemented 8 budgets bt didnt do anything about it,why are we too quick to crucify GEJ who have implemented 3 budgets?8 and 3 which one is greater? Question him bt lets nt forget dt smone spent 8 yrs and even tried to get more 4 bt didnt do anything there.

Sincere 9gerian: The truth is that federal govt projects are usually spread apart, such that except you look out for them you may think nothing is happening. This is unlike state govt who may become messiah after tarring 3 or more 2centimetre long inner city roads.

For want of time, let me quickly list the ones I can remember now.

In Anambra state:

1) re-construction and expansion of Bridge-head to upper Iweka section of the Enugu-Onitsha express road

2) completion of the Onitsha-Owerri road

3) building of Onitsha inland port (N4 billion worth project)

4) building of federal secretariat- still ongoing, to be completed this yr

5) building of Zik Mausoleum

6) Supporting the state govt all the way until the state became an all producing state. Definitely, an OBJ in Aso would have found a way of killing or delaying that project.

7) Provision of huge funds for infrastructural upgrade of the state university- Anambra state university. It was one of the 12 universities that recieved N25 billion intervention fund late last yr.

There's are some intra-state roads, erosion control sites,etc that are also ongoing. More may be added to the list later


The ones I can remember in Enugu state for now include:

1) The improved power supply. I'm a living testimony of this achievement. In fact na dis one sweet my belle pass

2) The Enugu-Abia-PH-North rail line: still ongoing

3) The Enugu-PH road is being made motorable. The section from Enugu down was already completed the last time I travelled on the road. The return section was still ongoing then. Many other FG roads recieved similar attention under "operation safe passage".

As I remember more projects, I'll them to the list

Clerverly: That is why you argue like a kid. I am sure your father is a benefactor of retardeen's largesse.
