jadelyn007: I don't give a damn about his academic qualifications,all I know is that d work he has done in edo state n d development he has brot to d state,even our so-called Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has not done a quarter.

coogar: chelsea have won in europe, so have nottingham forest and aston villa. apart from barcelona and real madrid, which other club in spain have won in elite europe? none!!! that's the problem with spain. the top 2 clubs pack the best players in the league and left the others with nothing. how would it look if 80% of the quality players in the premier league all play for man utd and chelsea?

Image123: the two are good, it depends on situations and what you're demanding.

mankevo: Mr President, You really have to move fast to unite this nation.
Be serious with governance, work less on excuses,committees,speeches, mistakes.....these earned you the highest bad reputation in 2012, and MUST stop with 2012

2013 should herald a wave of ''excellent reputation'' where our nation should be taken serious across our borders.
We Pray for you so that all the curses,abuses,insults and disrespects of 2012 will turn to Praises and cheers this 2013

Remember, Nigerians will not be suprised by your failures again, but will really be surprised & shocked by your agressive and dynamic performance.
May God help you discover your bad advisers/functionaries, and give you courage to wean them off to earn yourself the respect of your office.
God be with us All

gen2briz: Noted....what of Bakare's prediction

talk true: Good deed but it will not move the governor.
Rather he may even exclude them from any other future plan

Ikengawo: He's 100% right. People use corruption as a scapegoat because they're too lazy to think when in reality it's the mentality of the people and attitude that's holding the country back. America is very corrupt. What we call bribes here as called Lobby's in the US and Lobbyists (Bribers) get offices in Washington DC and websites. They pay politicians to do what they want the politicians to do and pay the media to do their own bidding, but the country functions. Everything from inflated contracts to cronyism and ballot manipulation, is in the US openly


the difference is if you pass a law in the US people follow it and whom ever's duty it is to enforce it will enforce it.
If you build a good road in Nigeria people use it to speed. The police hired to enforce it will sleep on he job, and if someone gets in trouble for breaking a law they act like the government is oppressing them.

Most accidents in Nigeria happen on good roads. The only thing stopping Nigerians from going top speed in their cars at all times are potholes.
Nigerians need a new civic culture.

Sincere 9gerian: The purpose of elections all over the world is to usher in leaders for good governance. 2011 elections had come and GONE FOREVER. The 2011 elections ushered in President Jonathan to deliver good governance for the people of Nigeria in the next 4yrs. Despite the huge COMPLEXITIES and COMPLICATIONS of our country, and the UNPRECEDENTED distraction of Boko haram, the incumbent is doing his best to deliver good governance. The efforts of the govt are beginning to yield good fruits.
The thread opened 2 days ago about public power supply confirm the fact that majority of Nigerians are seeing IMPROVED power supply. As I write this comment, power supply in my area has been on for 4days now, no blink. I have NEVER experienced this sort of thing ANYWHERE in Nigeria.
Various interventions have been created to reduce unemployment. The 1,200 persons who won the YOUWIN first edition are getting grants to grow their businesses and employ other Nigerians. The second edition of YOUWIN is currently on and only few days ago, a thread was opened on NL for persons shortlisted to share information. Also about 50,000 graduates are currently being recruited by the FG and will be attached to various private companies and business for 1yr but their salaries will be paid by the govt for the period. Another 370,000 un-skilled and semi-skilled Nigerians will be employed nationwide for public works and paid monthly stipends. These direct interventions will complement the jobs being created in the agric sector, various construction sites(roads, rails, housing,etc), new universities,etc
The moribund rail transport system is coming back to life.
All previously impassable roads have either been repaired or are being repaired. Massive construction of federal highways is currently going on at a much higher pace.
New universities are being created to improve access and reduce the number of Nigerians who travel outside the country to seek higher education. The universities will also create jobs for academic and non-academic staff. Existing universities are receiving more funding than ever before.
Our airports are receiving very impressive face lift. Most of them are presently un-recognisable from the rot they were before.
Farmers are currently recieving DIRECT help from govt like NEVER before.
Shameful and fraudulent elections are now a thing of the past.
I can go on and on.
I dare to ask, WHAT MORE can a people ask for after an election?

EfeTony6: Human capital development is the stock of competences,knowledge,and personality attributes embodied in the ability to perform labour and produce economic value.It is the attribute gained by the individual through education and experience.
From the above explanation of human capital development,you can agree with me that the six(6) major keys pointed out are:
1) Competences
2) Knowledge
3) Education
4)Produce economic value
5) Personality
6) Experience
We cannot dispute the fact that His Excellency Governor Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan has recently demonstrated the above listed points of human capital development by investing huge amount on the Health sector,Education,Sport and Transportation.

1) In the area of competences,recently in the Eko 2012 Sports festival, as demostrated by team Delta, winning a total number of 288medals. This was as a result of the commitment of the governor to support the team,and also to improve on the sport sector recently before the players went for the completion.

2&3) Education and knowledge: It is on record that Delta state spend N1.5 billion annually for scholarship programs,N22billion for payment of secondary and primary school teachers,and also Delta as a state has the largest numbers of public paid doctors in Nigeria along side the free health care programs which cost billions of Naira. The scholarship programs are classified into local and international scholarship.Recently about 55 persons received the cheque of N5million each to study in some of the best university of their choice outside the country. Courtesy of Governor Uduaghan,the commisoner of high education and scholarship board effective team staffs.

4) Produce Economic Value: We cannot also dispute the fact that these programs are of economic value to the state and individuals.Just like the team Delta players are going home with a cash price of N1million each for gold medals and we've close to 108 gold medals.This indeed has added economic value to both the individuals and the state at large.The recent awardees will also add economic value to both the state and the country in time memorial.This is because in the next 5-10years Uduaghan's scholarship scheme will produce professionals doctors,pilots,lecturers,movie stars,world stars in sports,etc.The total numbers of beneficiaries of Uduaghan's scholarship scheme has increase to 155 persons studying aboard.

The aviation scholarship scheme is also a program set up by his Excellency to encourage young up comin pilots in the state.

And in line ith the human capital development his Excellency invest billions of Naira yearly on free maternal care program. Is on reord that delta state has the highest paid doctors in the country.

In addition to boast his Excellency commitment to the human capital development agenda, recently over 4000persons were employed into the state civil service commission.

Delta beyond oil program is another scheme to boast the human capital development programs in the state.

The opposition post made on what his "Excellency has done in the last 5years" is just a fallacy to rubbish the active governor. If I must say E.K Clark has is own interest to protect during elections,and that he succeeded in doing through blakmail, believe you me today he sees Uduaghan as a true son who has brought glory to state. I qoute him " I once had issues with him ( Uduaghan) because I was thinking his cousin( Ibori) brought him to cover his frauds,or to stop development in the state,but am astonish when I see the young man doing the best he can to move the state forward. Based on this understanding I support him for a second tenure (Rerun). I don't see reasons why some persons come online and post irrelevant informations on social media against the governor. Gone are those era,when you come online to make noise for the government to recognize you. Is now actions that speaks not words.

Lastly when we refer to Experience and personalities,it's obvious that these persons benefiting rom the scheme,will turnout to be more experienced and public figures who will uphold and protect the dignity of this state and country in the future. Permit me to state here,that the governor has delivered to the fullest on human capital development as part of his three(3) point agenda.God bless Delta state,God bless Governor Uduaghan.

I want to please say this to meaniful Deltans, although oppositions are fighting hard to slow down his Excellency massive projects on going in the state,but be rest assure that his Excellency will not be distracted by this little virus. Together,with you and I,in line with the 3point agenda of Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan(CON), Delta State will be a Better place in due time.
Comrade Dsp Matek.

Dogbeji2: Y don't you go for more white prostitutes and give them more placards in a bid to show your hate for the governor whom we freely gave our mandate . Are you so poor that you can't pay for more than one white prostitute to advertise for DPP?

Delta Sunrise: Truly, these allegations are weighty, but there are so many questions the authors will need to answer. you know, it is easy to come up that you have facts but facts must be proved before they can be accepted as facts.
I will be asking the questions one after the other.
1. (a) Where did you get your figure of #15b monthly allocation from?
(b) did you also get that #100b IGR from Delta State Internal Revenue Board?
(c) I learnt recently that First bank rejected the state bid for a #10b loan. which one did you include in the post or the state have collected one from First bank before now?
(d) while I may not be able to confirm or dispute the other loans you mentioned, the total according to your post is #1.5trillion which you have claimed Uduaghan siphoned.
Well, before I go further, I am expecting answers for the above questions.

Sincere 9gerian: It is obvious that the president doesn't even know much about the N16billion Sambo's residence contract. For this same issue, the 'retardinhos' have attacked, abused and cursed GEJ. Do we really expect one man to know everything and be involved in everything? As far as I'm concerned, there are institutions and those institutions should do their work and where they fail, all attacks should be directed at them, not an 'omnipresent' president. In this case, where the contract sum appears too high, the senate committee should do their work(which they'r already doing), the budget office, ministry of office and other parties concerned in the project should also do their work. Where foul play is suspected, the law should take its course.
But I completely understand the retardinhos. It is always convenient for them to blame everything on an 'omnipresent' president so as to score cheap political points

kulyie: If it where possible to insert my hands into the screen of my television and slap him,i'll have done that,he makes embarassing utteraces that make those of us that have phd in nigeria look stupid.smh

0lumide: I made some calculations here that goodluck is not going to win 2015!!

He will not win anything!! If GEJ wants to honour himself, the best thing is to conduct a free and fair election in 2015 and exit the power corridor.


Should he contest and win, there will be CIVIL WAR! Another rigged election in Nigeria is the end of anything Nigeria!!

IMF and wallstreet can not keep insulting our national sovereignty!

If IMF wants to invest in Nigeria, they should please do so and follow the guidelines listed out for investors in the nation. Investment is a risk so take the risk not try to eliminate the risk by manipulating government functions and agencies with the power of federal government!!

SINCERE_9GERIAN, YOUR GRAVE AWAITS YOU!! WHETHER 50 YEARS FROM NOW OR TOMORROW, YOUR GRAVE ALREADY KNOWS YOU! YOU WILL BE ALONE WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE AND MEMORIES. IF YOU FORGET YOUR DEEDS WHILE ALIVE, YOUR CONSCIENCE WILL REMIND YOU IMMEDIATELY!! THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!

Urakhai: What is going on in this thread is very obvious even to a child that's all I'm going to say. Like Abe lincoln said-
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time". Have a nice day people.

Sincere 9gerian: HATERS continue to HATE, while GEJ continues to DELIVER and IMPRESS:

6) For me the MOST IMPORTANT achievement and LEGACY of the GEJ administration is CULTURIZATION of free and fair elections. The 2011 elections, adjudged by both local and international observers as free and fair, was the turning point in the history of Nigeria. It effectively marked the END of DO-OR-DIE and Amala politics. Since then, free and fair elections is the RULE. The last Edo and Ondo elections were no different. Free and fair elections is the NUMBER ONE and MOST IMPORTANT dividend of democracy and has the potential for unleashing other dividends of democracy. The import of free and fair election to our development was emphasised by no other person than Achebe himself in his latest book-There was a country. Under the sub-heading “State Resuscitation and Recovery”, Achebe suggests that “the Nigerian solution” will come in stages. “First we have to nurture and strengthen our democratic institutions – and STRIVE for the freest and fairest elections possible. That will place the true candidates of the people in office,” he writes. This process, can lead to a thriving free press and strong justice system, with checks and balances and corruption-curbing laws NATURALLY finding a footing. He adds: “A new patriotic consciousness has to be developed… based on an awareness of the responsibility of leaders to the led… and disseminated by civil society, schools and intellectuals. It is from this kind of environment that a leader, humbled by the trust placed upon him by the people, will emerge, willing to use the power given to him for the good of the people.”
Sorry for those looking for anti-corruption WAR-LORD like Buhari, NOTHING can fight corruption better than free and fair elections.

dulphines: Oil is not the highest paid job in Naija. Politicians and their associates: Personal Assistants, Contractors, Commissioners, LGA chairmen, NDDC staff, the list goes on and on before broke oil workers. My father was there for about 30 years but not half rich as some PA's that i know of...

Sincere 9gerian: This unsubstantiated SUPER STORY should be read side by side with the fact that Charles Orkah is the brother of Henry Orkah, a KNOWN gun runner and leader of criminal gangs in the Niger delta. Before GEJ became president, Henry Orkah was initially arrested and imprisoned by Yar Adua due to his links with criminal activities in the Niger delta. He was later released by the same Yar Adua during the amnesty programme, after he wrote an under-taking not to return to criminality. After the demise of Yar Adua and with GEJ now in charge, Henry Orkah rejected amnesty and went on a mission to embarrass GEJ. Even till date, Henry Orkah does not believe in amnesty. Therefore, only fools will take SILLY STORIES of a family member of criminal gangs seriously. Unfortunately, there are many fools in Nig

Parnassuss: Being that the mines and minerals all belong to the federal government there is nothing for Jonathan to do except clean up that Bleep up. Besides who gives a damn whether its illegal mining or not, are the kids the ones mining it? What also makes you think there are billions being made from tiny pit holes? Abeg get your facts straight and stop trying to justify GEJ's total incompetence
