3kay945: What are you talking about bro? this dude is PhD holder menh,

He's a PHD holder, so what? Has GEJ not tackled some (if not all) of the basic problems we faced and complained about bitterly (power, transportation)? Are you and your folks so blind that you don't see these "little" progresses made? And will it kill you to at least commend him for all these and at least offer constructive criticisms rather than throw insults at the president just for the fun of it?

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]In as much as I agree with your comment about the unbalanced nature of the reporting, I completely disagree with you that people are determined to rubbish the slightest achievement of GEJ. He has no achievement bro! It is an insult on Nigerians that His government now call renovation of a shed asan achievement. Two years in power we are still talking of 4,000MW! To make matter worst, there is no sense or inkling that things are moving in the right direction![/quote]I totally disagree with you. Was GEJ responsible for the rot in the power sector? Yet unlike EVERY OTHER previous administration, GEJ's the first to revamp this crucial sector. More power generation plants and gas supply lines have been built, along with the repairs of old and installation of new transmission and distribution facilities. For the very first time in our history, we've witnessed a sustained increase in power generated, and more Nigerians get to enjoy way more hours electricity. With the smart meters also introduced, we also spend less in our electricity bills as we can now regulate our consumption. Just think of the positive effects this has had on both domestic consumers and SMBs. IMHO some Nigerians are too blind to notice these positive, and are only keen on heaping scathing criticisms on the President. That is TOTALLY unfair.

Definitely No. 2. I met and fell in love with a great gal.

ballabriggs: That is progress according to PDP. The man there has to drive against on-coming traffic on a 100 km/hr highway with pot holes on it and he says progress.

This road Deziani 'cried' on it in 2007. This is 2013, PDP still dey construct the road with pot holes all over and it is progress according to them. Onitsha Owerri road was started in 2003 till today PDP is still on that road and it is progress, a good 10 years. As I speak to you now the Uli junction part of that road is nothing to write home about and it is progress. The Sagamu-Ore stretch of the Benin-Ore express road is fast fading yet they have not completed the Benin-Ore stretch and they are making progress. Even Abacha made better progress than this junk. In the South East and South South, Warri Patani road is nothing to write home about. Owerri to Okigwe nko, that one na forgotten since 1999. Ogoja to Abakailiki, tufiakwa, you wan die. Ikom to Calabar, dead! Aba to Owerri, PH to Owerri, Uyo to Aba, Owerri to Umuahia.

And PDP dey make progress. This progress means before we reach all the dilapidated roads in Nigeria, it will take us 2060. By then oil done dry finish, Jona and Ngozi go dey hell fire dey chop their N5 trillion.

All you shameless humans are a disgrace to humanity as you have no heart. May the souls of the dead on our highways continue to hunt you all wherever you go. ANIMALS!!!

Wow!! Hold it right there! Ogoja-Abakaliki road bad?! BLOODY LIE!! Whenever I travel back to Jalingo from PH, I tend to use that route sometimes, and I say without any iota of doubt that stretch of road is one of the best and smoothest. So quit the lies.

Please show this to the Anti-GEJ group here on NL.

Most of you on this thread, especially ACN apologists, are quick to heap a lot of scathing criticisms laced with insults on the President. Yet you forget the following:

-You enjoyed free and fair elections under GEJ watch.
-You currently enjoy way more hours of electricity in your respective location (and probably pay way less for your utility bill), thanks to the GEJ administration that tackled the rot in the then comatose power sector, revamped and built more power generation, transmission, and distribution facilities. Oh, don't forget the ongoing privatisation process.
-Your nation's foreign reserves continue to rise.
-Your children, siblings, cousines, etc can now attend more tertiary schools, thanks to new schools built by this administration
-You all seem to have forgotten that this "dull" administration is the VERY FIRST to tackle the deep-seeded corruption in the downstream sector of the Oil&Gas. If only you "smart" guys had the balls to embrace the changes you preached about everyday, the country won't be paying trillions of naira in the name of fuel subsidy to a bunch of criminals. Hey, I'm also sure you've forgotten other positive development in the energy sector like the forthcoming PIB bill, the ongoing gas-revolution, etc.
-Your nation's currently revamping its transport sector. The rail network's being rebuilt with trains currently hauling tonnes of goods and pax across the country, the major airports have been refurbished, major roads across the country are being repaired. All thanks to the GEJ administration.
-And there's the much needed development in the nation's agricultural sector.

So keep heaping insults on the "retardeen". But I can assure you all that you'll be praising his administration once he's done.

'can't say I'm suprised. Yobe state's the country's centre of radical Islam.

hitmanogo: as for those calling gej a failure. ..it just boils down to politics. Rubbish him ahead of 2015 to get to that seat. Tinubu wont do any better. Train services are back, power is up, foreign reserve is up, airports are being rehabilitated, river Niger has been dredged, agric is up with cassava and rice programs, road rehabs are on like the jebba mokwa road, national health bill, PIB, and lots more.
Though the security issue viz a viz boko haram and kidnapping is a smear on his records though the issue is more complicated than we see it... and the fight against corruption is still not full swing. But neither obj nor yaradua faired better.... and please tinubu won't do better. In summary there's still work to be done, but gej has not done badly.....

EXACTA!! Well said, my brother.

confusion247: To be honest tinubu is right. If Jonathan have had the courage to fight corruption, people like tinubu would have been out of circulation. I think tinubu is just reminding us that corruption have come to stay and corrupt party leaders ate demigods.

Did you just mention courage? GEJ's administration is the VERY FIRST to fight the rot in the energy sector, particularl the so-called "cabals" in our downstream sector that kept bleeding our treasury dry. Yet it was us Nigerians, particularly those in Lagos, that stupidly fought against his policy.

Need I remind you that it was under this administration that we also saw remarkable improvements in our long-neglected power sector? And there's our transportation system that's currently being revamped.

With respect to politics, elections in particular, it was also under GEJ's watch that we experienced relatively free-and-fair elections, unlike those of past administrations.

Basically, GEJ has performed well. That thief and so-called godfather Tinubu should shut the hell up.

oyb: stop being a simpleton - the 'development' is not even on paper. is it that none of you can comprehend simple written English?

a FEASIBILITY study is being conducted. that will determine if any of these puported railway lines is a viable project

going by our fgs previous record of perpetually shifting goalposts - there is nothing to celebrate here. just move along to the next great empty commitment

@ oyb, will it hurt you and your kind to at least commend the current administration for the "little" strides made in our rail transport system? Will anything be taken from you if you provide constructive criticisms, not insults 'cos the project isn't spearheaded by ACN or co?

As a fellow engineer, I had assumed the govt plans would excite you due to opportunities this development will generate not only for the nation's economy, but our engineers (civil, structural, signals/telecommunications, power, mechanical, etc). But again, I guess I was wrong.

Seriously, the negativity on this thread and the forum as a whole sickens me. One would've thought you guys would've commended the ongoing development in the nation's transport sector. a development that will not only transform our rail system, but equally create lots of jobs. But I guess I was wrong.

Well, nothing's going to stop this great nation from moving forward. If that gives you douches nightmares, feel free to boil stones to cure your damn sickness, or jump off the nearest cliff.

ARES: Nice talk yippeee. Reality check: u seriously think that men like dangote, ABC, Oando, Rain oil and co who have invested billions in trucks for haulage will just fold their arms and watch u mess up their business?

You do know the rail network actually FAVOURS the people you just. Have you thought about tonnes of goods and other raw materials these entrepreneurs will be able to haul safely and smoothly via trains?

Btw, you do know the trucks you mentioned are only meant to haul finished goods manufactured by ONLY these companies, right?

braine: Another elephant project from which public funds are siphoned.

Only after completion of projects that I will listen to these people.

Son, how is this a white elephant project? Do you even know what the phrase "white elephant project" even mean?

Tell him to sleep on his sides. The snoring will stop.

SimonAndal: Coming in from Australia:

Alien invasion?!! YAY!!! Now I get to shoot me FN-FAL rifle at some green slime balls, Halo style!!

Does the DG know that NTA International, AIT, Channels TV, NN4, LTV, Silverbird, and a number of Nigerian stations are on DSTV? 'guess no one told him that.

killuminati: How dare a whole bunch of brave generals/colonels allow this retardinho-slowpoke gej to head them? does this look like fishing to him?

I suggest they shld just detain him there and take thru a bloodless coup.

How dare your mom gave birth to a slowpoke like you, when she could have easily aborted the pregnancy and spared the world from your stupidity? Have you forgotten that GEJ is not just the President of the Federal Republic, but also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces? You know what that means, right?

Soukiss: house sorry for my first post. late gadafi said if u wat to see generals come to nigerian and that is truth. more promoted theft in de army.

Ghadaffi was a turd.

big mo: Bolo, when Azazi was stealing arms and ammunitions from the Nigerian army and selling to Niger delta millitants, were u asleep?

Please provide proof the late Gen. Azazi, former CAS,CDS, and NSA, sold weapons to ND terrorists (weapons used to kill his OWN men and innocent civilians). If you can't, SHUT THE Bleep UP.

musiwa10: this na bribe.. now what is title.. Title is of no value to a man..

Ok if I no more call you colonel, i now call you general.. How does that improve your life.. So Just because they stop calling someone Colonel and now call him general.. so you think that is promotion.. I think you are sick.. title is of NO VALUE my friend..

Do you have any bloody idea what it takes to get promoted or become a General in the Army's merit based system? You think it's beans? If you have family friends that are Col. or Brig. Gens, ask them about Staff College, NIPSS, or War College.

Mcdondayan: These men should be promoted after success in the battle field.

Which battlefield? So non of these officers should progress up the ranks during peacetime, like EVERY OTHER MILITARY AROUND THE WORLD?

chief batiatus: She said the plain stark truth! Many ladies know this but prefer not to say it in order not to infuriate the menfolk. Most men are fools for ladies, it starts at the point where its believed that a man has to toast and beg and cajole a woman if possible to go out with him. Many ladies are just living on some daft man or men who see her as a goddess of some sort EVEN WHEN SHE HERSELF KNOwS HOW FAKE SHE IS! And this is most common in our ignorant society. Ladies are way way way overrated in nigeria so guys don't be offended

fa fa fa..fowl!!!

Akshow: @ poster stop the propaganda. This govt is the most inept and backward administration of all time. Shikena

Where's the propaganda? Is the story false? If not, zip it.

[quote author=mondi_cheeks]Sit and watch tv when he is busy acting like a child, ignore him[/quote]Do that, and watch your hubby float to the open arms of another woman.

ifyalways: How do you go on without kpekus for months eh?no be say anybody travel?

Is your husband an only son or last child?he's acting like a spoilt big baby.

Try to contain whatever causes the fight.
Do your wifely and motherly duties including reaching out to him in bed.
When he comes around, don't pretend that all is well, talk with him. He needs to know that you don't like his locking you out of his life, zero communication skills in the face of an argument.

Train him patiently. Some men are babies.

And what has the silent treatment got to so with being spoilt? You seem to forget that most men will rather opt for this option when their spouses offend. You don't have to raise your voice, return insults, or worse beat her up. 'just walk away and ignore her.

Demdem: Foolish and incompetent SSS.
It would have been better to devote that time spent in the journalist's house to search for the marked notes given to facrook which they still havent seen till date.

Nothing stops the SSS from putting a lid on the spread of false stories. I say kudos to them.

Tragic. RIP sir.
