President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said he will continue to do his best in solving Nigeria’s challenges, but said he does not expect praise while still in office.

Mr. Jonathan said he understands that his current actions and achievements will only be justified and applauded after he had left power.

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that Nigerians will appreciate the good works he has done for the country after he has left office.

The president expressed concern over how Nigerians criticise him and his government using the social media.

“These days, there are all kinds of stories. It is all over the world, leaders are being lambasted, especially with the social media now.

“People use what knowledge had created for negative reasons. Just as I was told that the person who invented dynamite regretted that invention because he thought he was coming up with something to solve human problem, but when he got to know about the level of destruction: human lives that are being blown up because of explosion, the man regretted that invention,” he said.

“What is supposed to be used for the common good was turned to negative purposes.

“I always say that I will not even expect praises now because hardly do people praise serving leaders. It is when you leave, people will begin to know.

“When you leave, people will begin to compare what you have done over the period vis-a-vis what others have done, then they will compare you with whoever takes over.

“Probably that is the time some people will begin to say good about you. But I will do my best to make sure that we do change things.

“We are trying to create enabling environment for our economy to thrive irrespective of the challenges we are having in the petroleum sector and the security challenges we have.

“I will do my best so that by the time I will leave, you will be able to say that when our son was there, he served the country well so that one day, another son of Bayelsa may be given another opportunity to serve Nigerians,‎” he said.

No need, Buhary should just roll out the tanks and deploy fighter jets against them as posited by some brainless APC supporters here.

I presume BUBU knows that this are not the rag tags coward boko haram.

This government has lost focus.

Congratulation on your salvation story.

You finally found Christ, RIP to those killed by your action(s) while you dine with the devil.

Who will deliver Nigeria ?

Everything is falling...

Our Naira is falling

Our Security is falling

Our Industries are falling

Everyday trailers are falling

Houses are falling

And our president is flying...?

Where is the LORD GOD OF ELIJAH ?

[size=13pt]If Nigerians start the cursing angle, I pity the morons who bestowed a 'dullarpoh' on Nigeria.[/size]

For selfish interest and to own oil wells which is now a curse, politicians in SW being led by an 'imperialist capitalist' repacked an old and outdated dictator whose cult likes followers in the Northern Nigeria is huge, a man whose weeping caused dozens of youth corpers's death in 2011, a man who promised that the baboon and the dogs would soak in blood in 2015 to come rule a democratic nation in 2015 this is beyond comprehension.

I remain resolute not minding the outcast position from my kinsmen that General Mohomodu Buhary is not an option in 2015, I was labeled a political jobber, that is fine. Jonathan could not have been an option as they posited, but Buhary should not be in the race. History and his track records as a weak leader in the '80 is there for all to revisit.

"Buhary insensitivity to Nigeria's diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known" - AIT /

"The sweet smell of change is gradually turning into a foul smell of fart coming out of Buhari's backside".

It is evidence that unless Buhary change his tactics, he is bond to fail.

God help Nigeria.

This is a pure state of mortgaging the future of Osun State and its resultant effect.

N55 Million is the 'NET' payables, accrued to the Osun State after all debts and loan deduction (including the bailout refund), it's high time Aregbesola resigned as the governor of that state.

BlackTechnology:
Yes ooooooo

I over blame Jonathan

Chai Jonathan you have killed us


Firefire which country is the petroleum minister heading to

I learnt President Buhary is visiting Nigeria comes 2nd December 2015.

https://www.nairaland.com/2769368/breaking-news-president-buhari-visit#40506302

I blame GEJ



This governor once said, the reason osun is broke is because Jonathan was stealing the money in abuja. Today, he can't say buhari is stealing the money in abuja anymore. Shame on Aregbesola. Liars from the pit of hell. We can begin to solve our problems by going back to the confab. Why should a nation rely on oil from only one region. Let's stop sharing and think of how to create wealth for our country. - Solomon K.

BY GBENGA OLARINOYE,

OSOGBO – The Governor of Osun state, Mr Rauf Aregbesola has said that states of the federation must look inward for their survival as funds coming to them from the federation account can no longer support their development projects.

Aregbesola said with Osun’s receipt of N55 million for the month of September, the message was clear that all avenues hitherto untapped must now be examined in order to sustain development initiatives.

The Governor stated this at the commencement of the reconstruction of Orita-Olaiya-Ita-Olokan Road at Olaiya Junction to commemorate the 5th year of the Aregbesola-led government in Osun.

The project is part of the designs to ensure smooth transportation within the state capital, Osogbo.

He pointed out that money coming from the Federation Account has dipped badly hence the need for people of the state to look inward in advancing the course of the state by returning to Agriculture.

He said, “We must at this point tell ourselves the truth, there is no money coming from the federation account, 34 million barrels of Niger‎ia’s crude oil are on the sea without buyers.

“Money coming from the Federation Account has dipped seriously and our hope for survival is in our hands, what our forefathers lived on was agriculture.

“We must now go back to the farms and work. We also need to pay our taxes so that government can meet its responsibilities. For September, our state got N55.8 million. The money we received cannot pay for the power supply by IBEDC that we use at the state Secretariat‎ monthly”. The governor told people at the programme.

Advising people to adhere to town planning rules, Aregbesola also added that the issue of separating houses during road constructions and expansions could have been avoided if there had been strict adherence to town planning rules in the past.

He emphasised that his government regret and offer sincere sympathy to those that will be affected with the construction of the road which his administration is embarking on.

The Governor admonished those affected to see this as their own sacrifice of the present administration’s effort to enhance the status of our cities for better living conditions of the generality of the people.

Aregbesola stated that Mess rs RATCON Construction Company Limited will be undertaking the reconstruction of the road at the cost of N985,115,410.78 million.

He said, “The expansion of the road and the need to have a reasonable setback unfortunately meant that some buildings are already standing in the way and has to be separated. This could have been avoided if there had been strict adherence to town planning rules in the past.

“We regret this and offer sincere sympathy to those affected. They should see this as their own sacrifice in our efforts to beautify our city and develop a decent human environment. Nevertheless, we have set aside the sum of N392 million to the 127 people whose buildings were affected”.

The Governor appealed to people of the state to bear with government on the pains and discomforts associated with the road construction projects embarked upon, especially Gbongan-Akoda Road, noting that the delay was due to the unexpected financial challenges that befell the nation.

He assured that all the projects embarked on by his government will be completed before the end of the present administration.

The Managing Director, Messrs RATCON Construction, Engr. Fouad Howayek held that Aregbesola deserves commendation for the massive on-going road construction works in the state.

He noted that RATCON has been partner with Osun since the first term of Aregbesola’s administration in the area of rehabilitation and construction of road projects.

‎According to him, “This kind of unprecedented achievement recorded in the last four years is an attestation to the fact that Mr. Governor’s passion for the rapid development of the state is undisputed,” The RATCOM boss stated

Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Engr. Nurudeen Adeagbo, stressed that the dual carriage way of Olaiya-Asubiaro-Ita Olokan spanning 2.8km forms the second phase of of on-going rehabilitation of selected roads in Osogbo township.

He stated that the road could have been executed along with others in the first phase if not for the paucity of funds in the state, adding that a total of N392 million will be required to pay compensation to people whose property will be affected by the reconstruction.

‎Adeagbo said, “This road project is to be executed by Messrs RATCON Construction Company Ltd. The company that handled the completion of 21 selected Osogbo township roads totaling 26.69km and the on-going Bisi Akande trumpet road awarded at N29.22 billion”

Bugatie:
So who do we run to, what's the fate of the masses if our security agencies can sound so helpless

Unfortunately, I have no direct answer(s) to your question, you have to take caution.


The future is bright for Nigeria once PMB is ready to press the right button.
