While I would not want Jonathan to be impeached, however, if He allows the ignoble Abatti to continue to stoke the fire, by end of Q1 in 2014, GEJ might be cooling off in house arrest.

As ti stands, GEJ do not have control of the House of Representative, neither does He have control of the Senate. If GEJ had any wisdom left, now is the time to sheath the sword and focus at delivering on promises, by ensuring whoever succeeds Him in 2015 has a stable foundation to lead Nigeria forward to greater heights.

To many of us the aspire to lead in whatever capacity, GEJ's administration should be a lesson for us all. When you surround yourself with self centered folks, you will end up being a non-achiever.

After 7.5 years in power, all you can show us is this despicable eyesore I think Peter Obi deserve to be stoned! With the 'alleged' allocation of N276bn, if this is what Obi can account for, He should be ashamed of himself!

Sincere 9gerian: Afam4eva..,cant you feel the fresh air in our elections since 2010? [b]Cant you see that the YOUWIN programme is the first programme in the history of Nigeria where people can get grants from govt on MERIT? [/b]Have you asked yourself why Nigeria Railways was dilapidated when GEJ came to power? The old railways given to us by the British was left to rot away and no new railways could be completed in 50 solid years? But just in 3 years, the GEJ govt is about to complete Abuja to Kaduna standard railway.

Didnt you notice how the PHCN was transparently privatised? Right before our eyes, 14 successor companies of PHCN was successfuly privatised without any acrimony or court cases. Now compare with the messy privatisation process of previous govt. Many of the companies privatised by OBJ have been crippled by court cases.

Your lies know no bound! Those who have good memory would attest to the fact the Better Life for Rural Women is one of the best social action project ever in Nigeria to date.

As for the privatization of PHCN, wait until the next government takes over in 2015, you would soon realize how fraudulent the process has been. The little can of worms released last year by Canadian electricity company from Manitoba is a tip of the iceberg. Time will reveal the great fraud Jonathan perpetuated with the sale of the electricity company assets to His political cronies.

djon78: Sincere you are making a valid point, Akinwumi Adesina worshiped at my church some sundays ago to thank God for the progress he had achieved and one statement he made that shocked me was that he never knew the president from any where, that it was the president that found him where he was at work and look what he is doing. Infact let me go on spiritual dimension the kind of prayer being waged in the spirit these dark evil forces have already been defeated, God of heavens is in control. When GEJ went on a spiritual journey to Israel I knew that from the eyes of unseen that GEJ is Gods anointed and all those fighting him will be confounded, I am using these medium to warn them that if they know the judgement of God that will come uppon them, you will see in few weeks time, sons of belial that has caused pain on this nation by their wickedness for the past 40 years, God has arisen to judge and this is word for the president by the psamist The Lord is my Light and my salvation whom shall I fear, the Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid, when my enemies came to eat my flesh they were consumed. Thus says God the creator of the ends of the earth.

I know your so called prayer is selfish and evil, hence the reason there has been no answer till tomorrow! Pastor Tunde Bakare, by God's Spirit clearly prophesied and warned Jonathan what He will become if He choose not to listen and so far, Pastor Bakare has been spot on.

Does it come across to you that God would approve of a man who:
1. eats N1bn food yearly,

2. Lies to the people He claims to be leading

3. 'honours' criminals in the land,

3.supports political assassinations,

4. Refused to 'honour' His own promises to those He forced Himself upon?

5. Lied about His one- term in office?

The God I worship, the Almighty God of Heaven and Earth, the Sovereign King of Glory has revealed time and time that He does not support injustice and is not a party to those who support injustice like Jonathan

cocoduck: Shut up liar you are among those that called him all sorts of names even when he was still a vice president

Are you mentally balanced at all

Longeria: For your mind your talking? What you're witnessing is what the heavy defeat APC will suffer in 2015 election will look like.

What low minds like you do not know is that it is not about a political party, rather it is about the common wealth. I will support any individual who bring good governance to Her people irrespective of their party affiliation.

You think it is about APC or any other political party but you are dead wrong, because when a fire starts burning, it does not look at the things to consume and the ones not to. Hence the reason every sane Nigerian is sending a message out to Jonathan to take heed, and do not throw caution to the wind, else when the fire start, His household would not be spared either.

gratiaeo: Do you mistake here for religious section? Why all this preaching nah

So that when we start to rain our fire, you people will not start screaming that it is because He is from a minority tribe or because He is the god of the ibos.

Let it be on the record that Jonathan started promoting jungle rulership and the consequences thereof no one should complain when He gets His pay back soonest. The year 2014 is lurking for Him.

taharqa: The pathetic wailings of a FRUSTRACTED soul.... Lwkmd ... Una haff not seen anytin yet

I am sure by 2014, we will know who would laugh the last laugh. Like I told you, this will begin from Jonathan's household, and like Ahab, so it will be unto Him. Quote this post when the time comes.

The same jungle justice will surely be met out to Him, and many of you here would eat your words when the time comes. Watch out.

ChinoElects: You can claim those rural areas as ibadan, ado ekiti, abeokuta, oshogbo etc, we do not give a fvck, but as for lagos it is not owned by yorobass because FG put in place 98% of what is lagos today. So how can you claim it? Igbos invested in lagos as former capital of Nigeria, the same way Igbos has bought choice places in Abuja.

You should be the that will be sent back to your rural state of oyo or ogun. Lagos belongs to Nigerian, the same way Abuja belongs to Nigeria. Btw am among the many that cannot live in that mess called lagos. Deal with it..

I am sure by the time you and your people are asked to go home, ( which is likely to happen soonest going by the level of hatred and discord you people continue to spew daily all over the country) you would understand who truly owns where.

How come you people never invest in your own land? How come there are no 'choiced' land to be bought by others in your eastern states? How come none of the states from the eastern zone is seen by investors as a future economic hub that is what investing in?

I am sure when they told your people to go home in Borno, Jigawa, Niger, Kaduna, and Kano you told them you owned the choiced land in those states and your people were massacred in gruel some manner?

Afam4eva: @Omo_Tier1
If you don't understand the premise upon which this thread was created then i can't help you. I'm not here to argue about what Jonathan has done in sectors of the economy but to focus on the political implication of Jonathan being Nigeria's president. The problem with us is that we're always in a hurry to start reaping the dividends of democracy without first considering the behemoth political challenges. These challenges are the bane of economic development. Not until we get the politics right before every other thing will fall into place.

I wish you had the courage and intellectual sagacity to respond in a constructive manner the points I buttress in my rebuttal of your opening post, alas, all you could come up with are another lame and diversionary excuses.

The essence of national government is to confront political and economic challenges that prevent the people from living life to the fullest. Jonathan's government is not the first in the world to face political challenges and will not be the last.

It is absurd you claimed that political challenges is the bane of economic development that has ravaged Nigeria especially during Jonathan's reign.

Do you really think if Jonathan had embarked upon visionary and exemplary development strides in every facet of the economy, upholding the rule of law, dealing harshly with corruption and corrupt individuals, the resulting political landscape will not fall in-line?

Jonathan had all the good will in the world to effect changes and redefine governance in Nigeria, but alas, like a mediocre, He decided to play cheap, engaging in ethnic 'rulership', befriending those who are known to the laws of the land as innate criminals, and promoting sectional hatred, using the kill and divide rule to retain power at all cost.

No other government in the history of Nigeria has enjoyed so much goodwill as Jonathan's government. In fact Nigerians were hitherto willing to lay their lives to see His government take bold political decisions that will affect the economic fortunes of Nigeria, but to their chagrin, there was no corresponding action by the one they thought was a proper commander in chief.

ak47mann: and what is wrong with it? mind u this is not an ordinary river, i repeat "Bethesda" is not a common river better careful what u say before those illness it cures transfer to ur house hold...EWU

To think people like this exist in Nigeria in 2013 is really scary! However, it is not surprising that where the poster is from exhibit such backwardness, with evident lack of progress in infrastructural development, to the extent that the people now resort to a 'river' to cure them of their insanity

May the generation that come after you not regret that you came by this earth.

Afam4eva: When they eventually gave Jonathan the power to become a substantive president, a lot of people were expecting him to cause a political revolution and this was what necessitated the protests by civil society groups for him to be made the substantive president. Some months after Jonathan was made the president, a lot of people were disappointed cos it seemed Jonathan was going the way of his predecessors and a lot of people called him a weak and ball-less president cos he was very slow at making decisions and they felt he was receiving order from God knows where. Over the years, i have watched Jonathan grow in confidence and it can be seen even in his boldness when being interviewed on TV. Today, Jonathan has become more bold by the day and it seems to be that he has started making decisions independent of those cabals that put him there. I think this is the first step of moving away from the status quo. We have seen the ramblings in the letter that OBJ wrote Jonathan.

If you call acts of cowardice boldness, then I really cannot help you that much. How on earth does the following amount to boldness:

1. Increase fuel prices in January 2012 without first thinking through the 'appropriate' palliative measures to cushion the reverberating effects of such insidious policy?

2. Allowing the universities in the nation to go on strike for 6 months, rather than engage them in meaningful discussion, decided to play politics by alleging that the Universities lecturers were doing the bidding of the opposition political parties. Good six months, millions of student were made to stay at home with economic activities stifled in most towns who hitherto depend on these students for survival.

3. Bleeding the excess crude account savings from nearly $10bn to deficit, leaving the Nigeria state seriously exposed to another international economic crisis that may leave millions of Nigeria poorer.

4. Allowing Federal Health workers to go on strike for weeks, stifling the Health sector reforms hitherto embarked upon by His predecessors. Today, many Federal Health institutions are on their knees and the Primary and Maternity Health centers scattered across the country are dysfunctional.

5. Allowing corruption to reign alingo in every facet of the society, with Federal civil service now seemingly another synonym for corruption.

I can go on and on, but it is clear to any sane Nigerian that there is nothing bold about President Jonathan whether when He was a substantive president or even now when it comes to Him taking the initiatives that would improve the fortunes of Nigerians. Jonathan only 'seems' to bare His fangs when He 'interests' and that of His cronies are threatened.

I dare this OP to tell Nigerians, one bold decision Jonathan has taken that has resulted in more money in their pocket.

nitrogen: Abeg, is Enugu a city? Just asking

The thing tire moe oh A place where after 8pm you can barely find a hotel, flight, or even a good eatery!

Top 3 next City in Nigeria?

1. Benin City - why? It is one city you get to at night looking for transport to the next city or a hotel to lay put or eat and you will surely get one. With the ever busy Benin Airport, I am sure on track for my business meeting next morning for Lagos, or Abuja.
2. Kaduna - another power house city that you are sure you will not be driving round town for hours looking for where to put up or where to eat.

3. Port harcourt - for same reason as Benin City.

Alikaxon: you sound silly! Yes, U think it's by exploding verbal verbosities that will make u socially inclined? How could u be so maniacally bewildered, in other words, "inordinate" to a simple question. I sence your foundation is faulty, sorry. Next time, don't copy Patrick Obariagbon to show off, people can do it better than you.

Haha... Thank you for letting him know how stupid He comes across with His lack of simple English construct comprehension.

... Nigeria don suffer! Presidency has been debased to such a sorrowful and pitiable state ...Mama Peace indeed, just like the Devil also claim to be an angel of light

CFCfan: That is simply the tragedy of our present political-economic climate. The leaders seem to be content with a rent-seeking system. Even the 5 airport terminals could have been funded from the FG's share of the revenue.

It is indeed a tragedy! I tell you, if only Nigeria can be graced with leadership that has a vision, within 10 years, the whole country would be turned inside out by very sensible taxation system.

I remember in 2005 having a discussion about the FG IGR with an expert on this subject, and how impressively the income went up so sharply.

I encourage you to read this interesting presentation:

http://www.firs.gov.ng/Resource-Centre/speeches/Internally%20Generated%20Revenue(IGR)%20and%20the%20Challenges%20of%20National%20Development.pdf

CFCfan: Well, 'corruption' is only one of the factors. The inefficient tax regime used by the FG (through the FIRS) is another key factor.

What happened to the reformation of the FIRS initiated by Obasanjo when through Mrs Omogui, Nigeria's IGR through taxes sky rocketed within a couple of years?

Imagine if that reformation was sustained and improved upon, would Nigeria, and indeed the Federal Government be resorting to China for money to construct ordinary six lane road in Abuja?

[quote author=re@lchange]thank God anambra state is in good hands
debt destroys the future!

proud Anambra son. [/quote]"..and Anambra, $26,708,648.52..."

Safe hands indeed! With a state whose IGR is a miserly N7.2billion yearly, i.e. a miserly N600 million monthly or even less, your debt to wealth ratio should tell you that you're heading in the path of destruction!

You mean Eastern Nigeria

ChinoElects:
This is why I call you clown of the century..

Oshomole is a ugly dolt in development where Obi is..go figure.

Hehe.. yet you people are still tenant all over the country and are being slaughtered like EWU in the north. Shameless people. If you do not know, the sham of an election held recently in Anambra finally revealed Peter Obi's fraud to the whole world.

You always go to other climes and chest beat, yet your homeland is 10 times worse. It will soon dawn on your people when you beginning to pay tenant charges in Edo State. We cannot continue to develop the place with hard earned taxes and you "unproductive immigrants" would continue to rain abuses on those who have shown you pity and accommodated you.

taharqa: Reali?? 2 Cross-country Rail Lines Planned, Designed and Executed WITHIN 3 YEARS? #youdon'tmeanit. Na where on earth that one don happen, esp with d amount of money to be so expended in a country like Nigeria whose Railways Sector was COMPLETELY COMATOSE 3 years ago??..... Stop making yourself look like a FOOOL just cos of an overaching need to always criticize

As an inglorious sycophant, I least expect you to see beyond your nostrils when your pay master is bleeding the country dry of any form of sensibility so He can commandeer an army of ignoramus.

ibsmooth: Some people are born fools while others attains foolishness in life.I can't imagine some people saying Ameachi can be impeached and nothing will happen.Okay if six(6)lawmakers out of say 30 can impeach him,are the GEJ supporters aware he can also be impeached with 40 house of reps and 15 senators?Don't be the war drum because you never know how it will START and END.please click like in support of my assertion

You leave those lousy noise makers. GEJ is setting precedence that would finally consume His administration. I have said it, like Ahab, so goes GEJ and 2014 will be too interesting for Him, beginning with His household.

FreeGlobe: You Amaechi hirelings are bunch of clowns. Yes Amaechi will be impeached and absolutely NOTHING will happen. When Amaechi was suspending Local Govt Chiarmen unconstitutionally and closing campaign offices of opponents and other unconstitutional practices, you fools kept mute. clowns!

What is this one saying? Are you normal at all . Anyway, I am not all surprised at your post because you hardly make any sense in this forum.

Ozonna: U expect all this to be done under 3yrs?

I not only expect all these to be done in 3 years, I know it can be done! What is our problem as a nation? We have the money, the people, the resources, so why cant we think and do the right thing?

What is so complex in planning and executing a modern railway project complete with functional railway system? The technology is there, the technical know-how exist within the Nigeria railway corporation, the technical partnership exist, so why cant we sit down and design at least two cross country railway lines in a year, get them completed within three years so that we become THE standard others will follow?

How come when South Africa achieve the same we seems to envy them?
