soft and sweet: I totally agree with you. I grew up in the northern part of Nigeria, and anytime I try to identify myself as a deltan, and say I'm from Asaba. The Urhobo's Itsekiri, Isoko's and the likes always imply that we are not a true deltan, that I am delta Ibo or whatever. Its worse especially since I dont speak and act like "I go die" . Sentiments aside I think the marginalization is a welcome development.

i school in owerri, and when i tell someone am from delta, the next thing they say is Urhobo wado, or Brendo, and when i'm like am Igbo(Asaba to be precise), they're like hmmm. Its even worse for those from aniocha north, oshimili north, Ogwash and Kwale area.

So u're from asaba too? Nice nice,,,
ino ofuma?

5PM today, i'll see the downfall of benzema, matuida and valbuena.


Mark my words!!

its so funny how dumb nigerians will call these Vehicles secondary school projects, nigerians are the HIV viruses bedevilling the country and our leaders are the much more developed AIDS virus that emanate from the likes of these. APC's are not meant to be flashy, if you want to judge them by looks. They are not used to impress your girlfriend uh.... Citizens of developed/developing countries cant castigate their country as much as nigerians do even with' d likes of ghadaffi nd mugabe as president..smh

[/b][/color][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] funny enough its this same nigerians that will stand at the back of a queue @ d various sales shop of these vehicles, after all this their rantings. Once they hear Papa friday bought one, then their statement will be like, let me give it a try.. Smh. Throwing stones in market places..mtcheww[b][color=#000099]

mustaphagreens: [b]Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is undeniably a humble and educated man. Disheartened by obj's letter of 'allegations' i had expected him to fire back with harsh words but instead he went all civil by carefully and intelligently replying to and/or dismissing each of the allegations, how shocking! Honestly, i've never been fans with Gej but with this show of bravery, i think i may reconsider my position on that. It's quite unfortunate i've always thought of you as daft and erroneously called you Jonathan over the d years but that must've been a huge misconception on my part as i mistook your gentility and quiet nature for daftness, pardon me.
PS For all those nattering nabobs of negativism and and blind bats out there, who've sworn with their lives to forever pen their ill-thought desertations against the sitting president, i hope the big scales in your eyes will eventually fall off after reading this letter and for the resilient and adamant ones you can choose to remain unheralded internet trolls or keep your mouth busy with my ectoplasmic Schwanzstücker. The choice is yours. Adieu.







GOOD ONE GEJ, OBJ MUST'VE UNDERESTIMATED YOU IN THE PAST BUT I'M VERY SURE THIS INTELLIGENT REPLY WILL SCARE URINE OUT OF HIS WRINKLED SH.IT HOLE [/b]

o boi u harsh o...lmao!!

Wsdm: Can you see how some people have descend? A very serious allegations have been raised by a high profile man to the president. Instead of the president going to court to challenge this man, he is resulting to gutter response. You expect us that by Jonathan replying these grievous allegations, he has absorbed himself of all guilt and who's letter is better is the issue? What a country!

u sef na mumu, why didnt u tell OBj to sue d presidency for all those allegations..smh.. Using ur anus to think..

manny4life: It's God that will have mercy on you people.

When he was fixing the roads to improve transportation across the nation, isn't that part of infrastructural development spurring growth.

When he ensured that Bulk Trader came online, PHCN dissolved and TCN under Manitoba begins, is that to make sure that power improves, won't that be called infrastructural development helping the economy

When he made policies favoring the agricultural sector, todar Nigeria has 15 large rice mill producing millions of tons of rice, reducing export and strengthening our economy, also with the fertilizer and small grant initiative, saving that outflow of FOREX, hasn't that helped our economy.

And the list is ENDLESS

Don't let hate blind your eyes o...

lmao, sorry sir, but did you get behind these facts well, i like GEJ, as a matter of fact, i'l prefer if power remains in his hands till someone better points, so am not hating.
What i mean is very simple, GEJ needs to do more, he has the capability to do more, rome wasnt built in a day, but rome wasnt also built in 500million years, there was political will and passion to develop rome.
Even with the agric loan, blah blah, agriculturez still comatose, Health sector is dead waiting to be buried, Roads are being rehabilitated(Good), what happens to the ones that needs 2 be built? Education, if not for ASUU'z intervention'l still be a mess,
jonathan might as well be the best president since the era of zik, but he's just too slow... Too sloww...

Zer0: 90% living in abject povert. Lol.

Just someone once argued that Nigeria had it better in the seventies when things were cheap blah blah blah. And i asked him how many people owned a car in his street or could afford technology and he kept mute.

I think it's time we all become responsible and don't distort facts with ignorance.

The economic team of Jonathan's government has done credibly well and better than every other, i may not completely agree with GEJ's politics, but his economics is surely sound. The facts are there. Policies have been made to grow and stabilize the growth of our economy but we need to translate these policies to infrastructures. Which i believe should be the focus of the government within the next two fiscal years.

Development is not done on the pages of newspapers and good PR. The people living within and below poverty lines are actually a fraction of the numbers you guys peddle.

I am an economist and can authoritatively explain how these numbers will translate to improvement in your everyday life only if you wish to understand and not trivalize or politicize it.

We live in a better country today (economically). I know some people are so desperate to blinside Nigerians on how well we are faring. But we surely never had it better for a very long time.

u just said what was on my mind... Sanusi, Okonjo-iweala and deziani-madueke(even though shez corrupt) are doing well, But GEJ needs 2 put infrastruvture on ground, this coupled with the economic formula of this growth will bring nigeria 2 d starting line of realizing her potentials as africas Giant. As for now, development should complement growth, and please lets be frank, Its fucking slow.. Very slow, a lot should have being achieved if lootings and malpractices hadnt taken place in high places.. That's were i blame GEJz leadership..

taharqa: Nigeria is now d LARGEST ECONOMY in Africa under President Goodluck Jonathan. The Economy increased from around $59bn in 1999 to more than $400bn in 2013 (ie it Expanded about 8 times in a mere 14yr period) unda his Party's leadership; And the growth and diversification of d Economy is still on apace.

Now DIE!!...

oga don't decieve yourself please, as much as you think GEJ is responsible for this growth, he has a little or no hand in it, if's all based on innovative ideas, the doggedness of faith-filled investors, and the vast human and natural resources naija has. Thats why no matter how corrupt out leaders are, naija will still grow. The private sector pushes the growth, the onus now lies on the federal Govt to drive development.

If u think Jona is responsible for the fast growth, tell me what major policy or thing has he done to spur just 40percent of the growth

[quote author=Ridhwan.]Buhari/Okorocha-----1st choice (sellable/very possible)
buhari/Fashola-----2nd choice (muslim/muslim; almost halve part will oppose this; it's sellable nd very productive though)
Buhari/Ameachi-----3rd choice (as a compensation; it could raises eyebrows though, expectially frm his southern folks)
.....and the very last nd most sellable one i can vouch for is











Buhari/Ridhwan....yes! Me!(very productive, nd active) you can try it out.
#i dont knw why i just like the man BUHARI.[/quote]sincerely speaking, apc will know better that the buhari idea can't be sold to the south, especially SS, SE nd some factions of SW, buhari should remain an elderstatesman in the party

Brimmie: Innoson Cars ko.. Amosun Ni!

Mr. Jonathan, 549 Days Left!!

lmao is it now apc that will change things, haha with the two hungry politicians that are afraid all their lootings will soon run dry, now coming together to form an alliance

[quote author=real-teflon]How, this story is full of lies. Unemployment is there, housing deficit is there, poor education is there, power supply isn't enough like south Africa who can boost of 41k megawatt.
