ITbomb: The only people hating the Presido are those chop and go politicians that don't want to prepare for the future prosperity of Nigeria.
It's been long since we had a sincere leader.

FXKing2012: When completely empty folks have nothing reasonable to say they resort to insults. I knew u were moronic the very moment you opined God does not exist.
I know your type of nitwit.

i.e if this story is true sha

I said best performing, those words carry slightly different meanings even in this case, It means that the value of the Naira maintained itself well through the economic turbulence of the year, fluctuating or unstable values affects businesses, the Nairas movement if you will was very good for business even though sadly there are no businesses in Nigeria to capitalize on this.

I cannot say I remember the exact figures, suffice it to say that it is whatever it was when he took office by whatever times IBB devalued the Naira. Buhari's trade policies devalued the Naira and he maintained it artificially in the name of encouraging homeland manufacturing without actually pushing the industry, also a powerful currency is not exactly best for manufacturing so that was a counter-intuitive move. there are also obviously negative economical effects to artificially raising or lowering the value of your currency, if you do not take advantage of it then you are doubly damaging your currency

As I said artificially floating or devaluing a currency has its inherently negative side effects on the currency of a nation otherwise people would just do it to make their currencies look good, depending on how your economy works tho the upside might be better off or businesses may have already taken advantage of it that it is best to keep going that way, [b]Nigeria had no large scale exporting to take advantage of it [/b]and it is absurd to keep it up there and improve manufacturing to take advantage of it, like I said, the value itself meant nothing so why take all the losses for many years just because you don't want to put a currency where it should be, faking it would only serve to fool the common Nigerian that our economy is good when it actually is not. Look at the euro, good for Germany, bad for Italy, if it was only up to Italy they should devalue it. The Naira is too weak tho since we do a lot more importing but keeping it there would have been worse.

I don't understand this one but I will say yes, you see for Jo who I imagine is Jonathan to even get the opportunity to murder their leaders in cold blood they'd have to already exist otherwise how would they have leaders, if there is any reason why you think they'd have disbanded had they still had their leaders then tell us please.

J12: They are all sore losers. They know that they have nothing against the president hence the insults and other derogatory remarks cast on him.

I call it the loser complex.

How can someone take you serious when you blame GEJ for problems that state governors should take the blame for? Like an idìot here is blaming GEJ for the death of the 50 persons at the amasea river in anambra. . .

MANOSUB: I am so disappointed with some posts. I expected to see objectively stated what GEJ is not doing well but from what i can deduce from here is that people just hate the man for nothing concrete. Again, it is good to criticise but insult is not the best. I wonder if democracy have no concerns for constructive criticism!

Bodies of 50 dead Nigerians discovered in Amansea awka,the police mass buried them with "inconclusive" investigation and the Police boss still keeps his job?


Economy

He said our foreign reserve is 38billion usd, is that not only on iweala's notepad?
How can you have external debt of 48bn usd and come home to deceive us that we have reserves?

How much bonds services that 48bn plus interest annually? Nearly 25% of 44bn.
Now 48bn minus 38bn is 10bn deficit in my books though a dull iweala will think her note pad is making progress
While the economy remains a doldrum.


On electricity,

its 3yrs gone and he is yet to commission from scratch a new power plant worst still fired the only human being in his cabinet who knows his onions in the power sector.


On health

; almost all teaching hospitals in Nigeria have no functional dialysis machine, the most sought of this equipment cost just 5m naira. statistics has it that more than 60,000 Nigerians die yearly of a kidney related ailment, however, he jets out with his cohorts to seek medical help elsewhere.

Roads,

ferma is seriously patching federal highways with a budget of over 80 billion naira

Petroleum

Under his watch, the giant of oil and gas reserves is under going its worst energy crisis in the world.

tanker drivers alone can cripple his supply network as they wish not to talk of ordinary Niger republic coming to our rescue via imports.


In case you have not heard, Nigeria is very close to Afghanistan on security progress under Jonathan's watch.


Education,

its no longer news that only 26% of school leavers gain admission into the universities and only 5% are employed.


On food and agriculture

bro. jo's league of tabularasers are still deliberating on grazing fields for cattle while his mates have mechanized Their ranch.

Economy/cost of living.


bro.jo's economic blind men has blessed us with all time high of 37.5% inflation though his mickey mouse cbn governor is still claiming 28%, wondering what he will be claiming now that all bankers are at home?


Bro. jo is the only Nigerian president that has not initiated a successful programme even Abacha did better with ptf while IBB with FSP and MAMSA, bro. jo is still w.a.n.king with ''YOU WIN''

he has never implemented a single law, from FOI law to PIB,have zero implementation frame work, they only exist on paper.

on that same vein, Nigeria has the second record high job cuts within the last 2yrs, if in doubt ask the bankers and manufacturing industries.


The naira

before his acsention into power, the naira was in a sorry state of 150 to 1 dollar today, jona and his cbn mickey has handed us an unstable 168 to 1 dollar

aviation

the recent dana crash is a testimony that jona's aviation is comatose, not even the attorney general could challenge the allegations of the dana staff in court, in a national disaster of that magnitude?
the girl could have served as a prime witness in a class action against dana if jona was sane.less than 6months of inconclusive investigations, DANA air hit the Tarmac again.


subsidy

under jona's watch, a 250bilion subsidy programme rose to 2trillion yet no arrest, no conviction, no sack, the best miserable Nigerians could get was an AWOL attorney general after 7days of protests.


Bro. jo is the only president in the world whose parliament gulps 75% of the national budget yet they still soak themselves in $625bn bribery scandal.


Jona has bestowed on us the most corrupt institution that even IBB the king of corruption is disappointed, not even a single high profile conviction in 3yrs, not even a single high profile dismissal because as we speak, even the devil himself cannot afford an okupe, madueke and sanusi in his cabinet.


Jonathan has not even initiated let alone fulfilling a single campaign promise except the one that he needs to surround himself with brain dead women in his cabinet.


Devil just sent Bro. jo a congratulatory message for implementing local content policy by importing 200 luxury brands at the cost of over 13.5 million each for a 4 day event.while our manufacturing industries beg for patronage.


For exporting 2.48m bbls of crude daily while importing 38million liters of pms cos his refineries are moribond.
Even angel Gabriel has barred jonathan's prayers from heaven, this is a leader that just borrowed to augment his 900bn military spending.


Still on military, Nigeria has the most under educated junior military officers, before you ask how, bro. jo is too lazy to ask him self why imo with highest national examination enrollments still have the least NDA and police academy enrollments, while borno and zamfara as educationally less privileged, have higher quotas than Delta and anambra put together in military enrollments.Nepotism and corruption at its best


Bro. jo is the only head of state in the world whose wife is a ministry of its own.


oil cabal: after a 7 day protest that wasted lives, bro jo is yet to jail the subsidy thieves and their cohorts

imposed Dickson on bayelsans

Bro. jo handed us the biggest debt burden in our history

By august 2012, budget implementation was just 13%

825 Nigerian lives gone,Bro jo is still trading words and negotiating with boko haram.

Under his watch militants earn 10% of the Nation's revenue, $22.5m, $9m and $12.5m for tompolo, Ateke and Asari as national honors.

Twisted facts during the independence day speech on his fight on corruption, in contrast to what the transparency international claimed.

In October 2012,Blatantly refusing to appeal the ICJ’s decision on ceding bakassi, thereby throwing Millions of Bakkasi indigenes into pandemonium

Refusing to cut down on foreign trips and cost of Governance, contrary to his Nation wide address of 7th jan 2012

In Nov 2012, president jonathan approved 2.2bn naira for the construction of a banquet hall in the villa. At a time our debt profile was all time high

As commander in chief, he stood dumb while a military helicopter was used for "kabu-kabu" at oronto douglas father’s burial
that error in judgement alone claimed the life of a sitting Gov. and the most brilliant NSA Nigeria has ever produced.



Abeg im tired of jona please tell me about patience, heard she is still reciting yaradua's seven point agenda for her sweetheart.

Total waste of human materials


vote Bro. jo again at your own peril.

Sadly, and to the bewilderment of many, ECOMOG soldiers heavily participated in the worst orgy of looting ever experienced in Monrovia. At the Ducor Hotel which served as the base of the Nigerian contingent responsible for safeguarding central Monrovia, the city commercial heart, rooms occupied by Nigerian soldiers overflowed with electronic goods. The story was the same at the main ECOMOG base. Buildings occupied by officers were filled with looted items. Some who tried to whitewash their theft fake papers indicating they had bought the goods, cars among them...........Tom kamara

J12: The fact still remains:-
NO NIGERIAN PRESIDENT HAS PERFORMED BETTER THAN GEJ.
Who do want to call?

Obasanjo did not perform better than GEJ,
Yar'Adua did not perform better than GEJ,
Abdusalmi did not perform better than GEJ,
Abacha did not perform better,
Shonekan did not perform better,
IBB did not perform better,
Buhari did not perform better,
Shagari did not perform better,
Murtala did not perform better and
Gowon is the worst ruler we've ever had.

Mind you, GEJ's administration has spanned just two years. By the time he's through come 2019, he'll be the best president we've ever had.
By then he would've achieved:-
1. Constant electricity
2. Good federal roads
3. Working railway system
etc

gboss4sure: No one has a hard reason for hating on GEJ. Since subsidy has noit been removed how many people know how much that's been stolen from us in the name of subsidy. You talk of GEJ dealing with corruption, tell me why past government didn't deal with corruption. It seems lots of Nigerians don't know what's going on in Nigeria, will GEJ do the work of the police and efcc. The people that kills corruption cases in Nigeria are the police and the efcc backed by the so called cabals. You guys should start discovering the people holding Nigeria hostage and stop blaming GEJ for every shit that happens. He is just 1 person against how many people, check for yourself.

ifihearam: @op
The problem with people like you and demdem is that you might die of hypertension sooner than later,all the problems you foolishly listed above were created by him right You people are serial losers and will continue to be. Whether you like it or not,spot his flaws or not,he will give a landslide victory to any candidate come 2015, be it free and fair or rigged.

GEJ is a popular demand,a common denominator in nigerian politics,he is the answer to our prayers,even when he is reluctant to re contesting,we are begging him because he is the messiah of this country.

Thank you.

ocelot2006: Yet the very same Army has won virtually most (if not all) of its military engagements from WW1 to the present day. Doubt that? Ask the Germans about Eastern Africa, the Italians about Northern Africa, the Japanese about the Burma (the only regiment good enough to fight alongside the famous Chindits), the Biafrans in our sad civil war, the Camerounians in Bakassi, the NPLF in Liberia, the RUF in Sierre Leone, Egbesu boys/MEND/cultists/other militant groups in the Niger-delta, and yes Boko Haram in North-Eastern Nigeria.

Now I'm a realist, and I know the military is equally plagued with the same issues we face as a nation. And you won't see me say we can take on militaries like the Egyptians and the SADF as we're yet to catch up with them technology-wise. But love it or hate, the Nigerian Armed Forces is a pretty decent and squared off military that has proven itself in the past and present, and is a force to be reckoned with in Africa.

ocelot2006: Wow!!Dude, slow down!! I'm a patriot just like you and I love my country's military. And I also know we can kick seven-shades-of-shit out of the Malians. But the French?! Bros haba! That is a 1st class military and nuclear power!! We will get our behinds super-whooped oh!

redsun: Nigeria wasn't prepared for this,it is only the French intervention that lured them into unprepared war,just to save face.

The unfortunate soldiers will pay the high price,unless of course the lslamists are just bokoharam like spatashi jihadists,not the taliban type ones that fights to finish.

Some thing tells me that all these could be decoy by the west to recolonize Africans that are too damn dumb to get their acts together. At this unpredictable times,oyinbos are looking desperately looking for options on how to revive their dwindling world and Africa is still wide open for grabs.

pro01: I don't know what some of you junkies are smoking, but it has to be really strong. Stuuuupid patriotism is not enough to make one live in Fools' Paradise; it takes something stronger.

A country where nothing works - even the most basic institutions. The police force is a hot mess. The civil service is a den of incompetence and corruption. Infrastructure is non-existent. The darn government has no clue how much it (actually) makes from the 'rent' it collects from its crude oil, poverty, corruption, incompetence, inefficency, and a total collapse of governance at all levels is the order of the day. Acute shortage of skilled manpower in ALL professions in the country is a fact of life.

YEY. YET. YET, somehow, this same country's Army (infantry troops) miraculously happen to be among "the best in the world"? ? ? How? Due to the natural skill and strength of the average barely educated and thoroughly undisciplined aboki that joins the army (courtesy of nepotism/ 'Federal Character')? Or due to the 'advanced' training facilities/techniques of the Nigerian Military School or Nigerian Defence Academy (LOL!)? Or due to WHAT exactly? ? ?

A dysfunctional third-world country wallowing in abject incompetence and corruption would claim to have one of the world's best (infantry) armies? HOW? Worst still, some suggest that wars are not won from the air? In this age of high-calibre, automated drones? In any case, So infantry troops deploy nuclear warheads? ? ? Who are the schizophrenic fools that make these silly claims? I believe the mumus that make these claims are either members of the Nigerian Armed firces, or children of fat-bellied thieves in the Nigerian Armed forces.

Na God go punish the Nigerian Army. They should not waste time in Mali and elsewhere. Their skills are needed here at home - to "discipline bloody civilians". In that regard they are certainly the best in the world. Rubbish.

NAMDOSKY30: lolz na winch she be

all4naija: Is that Nigerian stadium? Wow! That is a pretty good-looking stadium!

Kx: Why wont BON call their bluff?

If a whole NEPA could have generator sets and i better pass my neigbour,
who says BON offices dont have dstv's in their offices to watch the matches live?

Nigerians should nt just blame the uncaring govt, blame poverty as well.
Poverty and the in-ability to afford dstv made a lot of Nigerians unable to call the govts bluff and hook up to dstv.
Poverty denies u the ability to afford subsititues when d govt dont care.

engineerd: LMFAO...A bunch of sore losers! Blame it on the EPL...how convenient? You have a bunch of players that have no sense of patriotism to a hopeless nation and rightfully so! A nation where nothing is ever planned and order/organization is an alien culture. They expect and believe in Miracles and hope without putting all the necessary effort and requirements into achieving a goal! I dare say you can blame it on the PIGMENT!!!!

jidewin: KANYI Dyantyi will not have the wedding she was looking forward to after her Nigerian-born fiancé died while in police custody in Cape Town earlier this month

Obinna Ugboaja's death has sparked the ire of the Nigerian community who marched to parliament on Friday demanding an end to police brutality against foreigners.

March organisers, the Nigerian Union in the Western Cape and Frontline Africa, argued that Nigerians were being targeted for brutal treatment by the police. They said in most cases brutality was swept under the carpet because of the false assumption that all Nigerians were criminals.

According to the Independent Complaints Directorate 2011/2012 annual report, 932 people died in police custody or as a result of police action.

The Nigerian Union wants the death of 32-year-old Ugboaja to be investigated and has opened a case at Cape Town Central police station. While police said they were investigating his death, grief- stricken Dyantyi, who met Ugboaja five years ago, remains in the dark about what led to his death.

"I really don't know exactly what happened. They took me to the mortuary where I found my husband dead. His mouth and neck were full of blood and he had marks on his neck, like he had been held hard.

"They said he had overdosed on cocaine. He didn't even smoke cigarettes."

Dyantyi said Ugboaja - who was a computer technician at First Coast Technologies and had been living in South Africa for seven years - left their Brooklyn home on the night of January 6 to meet friends in town.

She started worrying when he didn't come home and his phone went unanswered. After notifying his brother, Dyantyi took their one-year-old daughter to the police station where his car was parked.

But she was sent away with no answers.

"I waited for almost two-and-a-half hours. My baby was screaming. I didn't even know he was dead. They didn't tell me," she said.

When she returned the next morning, she was taken to the mortuary.

"Next year at Easter we were supposed to go to Nigeria to marry. His family is waiting. I don't work and I don't even know how we are going to pay to bury him," she said.

Independent Police Investigative Directorate spokesman Moses Dlamini said the matter was being investigated.

"If someone dies in police custody then we investigate," he said.

Azubuike Okparaugo, president of the Nigerian Union in the Western Cape, said it was irrelevant whether Ugboaja had been rightfully arrested or not.

"We were not marching to protest his innocence or his guilt. If he is guilty take him to court and give him a maximum sentence. Police are not the court of law," Okparaugo said, adding that the police conduct in Ugboaja's death should be investigated.

Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said an inquest docket has been opened into Ugboaja's death and the directorate was investigating the case.

aribisala0: They left VietNam? Why did they leave. What was there objective for Invading? "to fight communism" when they "left" VietNam was communist so please tell that fairy tale to someone who does not know the history. America failed in Vietnam and their people did not have the appetite for blood after 50000 American DEATHS . They abandoned the South to their fate after egging them on with false promises

This is what Henry Kissinger told President Ford "we cannot help draw the conclusion that our armed forces are not suited to this kind of war." That is when dem see wetin pass dem. The reality is US force saw in the Viet Cong the kind of determination they had never seen,that they knew they did not have

Ho Chi Minh is quoted as saying, "You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours...But even at these odds you will lose and I will win."


which year was the Vietnam war again?

The US like to bomb they don't like to FIGHT, in VietNam they had no choice.The only way they could have won that war was Nuclear weapons.

The Secretary of Defense McNamara said "the achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion.

Over 50000 men DIED and you say they "LEFT" as in they said "farewell see you later?"

What is their objective in Afghanistan. Even funnier ;they don't know and frankly no one does.

Well I really can and do call that struggling what are you going to do ,declare war?

vislabraye: Quality of manpower would have to do with the skills or competence of the military personels.
For instance, US is the most equipped but Israel has the best infantries in the world as well as intelligence.
Also Nigeria has the best army in Africa, but was surprise to see Ethiopia ahead of us. Nigeria's military does not have the best equipment. But when it comes to ground combat, only few countries in the world compare to us.
