Deadlytruth:
Jonathan was voted into power by the entire South (SW, SS and SE) together with the middle Belt. The Core North hated him, voted against him and shed blood when he was declared winner. But Jonathan abandoned all those zones that voted for him and concentrated all his attention trying to please the Core-North which never wanted him in power in the first instance. He took huge funds generated in the South (where he got his votes) to do projects in the Core North where he was rejected at the polls. He even naively declared in PH that he purposely left his own SS region unattended to because he did not want to appear partial. He acted as if he did not know that Zik, Ironsi, Abiola, and the rest who tried to sacrifice their own people's interests to please the North never actually succeeded in pleasing them but ended up being killed or hounded out of power by them. The only thing that pleases the North is to have their own in power even if he does NOTHING for them. Even if you help their kinsman to get to power they will always reward you negatively. When Zik blindly and foolishly chose to hand them power in 1960, they later used that same power to rig 1962/63 censuses and 1964/65 elections against the same Zik, and till today based on that rigged census Zik's region has 5 states while the NW of the Ahmadu Bello whom he gave power now has 7. Abiola too helped them crush his own brother Awolowo but the same Northerners made sure Abiola's mandate was stolen and got him killed. So Jonathan is to blame for his own political misfortune because he refused to learn from history and was therefore condemned to repeating it and the consequence followed.

Jonathan, an outstanding President

At the commissioning of the first Almajiri school in Sokoto, the Sultan of Sokoto, the head of Muslims in Nigeria clearly said that Jonathan's action is unprecedented in the history of the north. The word unprecedented means something nobody has ever done before. Jonathan has built over 400 of these schools, free tuition , free meals , free books, free uniforms , free schoo bags etc. Similar to what Awo did for the south west.

Yet 90% of those against him are northerners.
The last University built in the north is the University of Agriculture Markurdi built 27 years ago by the Babangida regime.
From 1960 till 2010, the north had nine heads of state and only a total of nine federal universities was built during this period. Between 2010 and 2013, Jonathan has built nine federal universities in the north alone .

In 1982, President Shagari's government identified the prospects of a power plant in Zungeru Niger State. When Buhari kicked him out in 1983, no leader talked about Zungeru again .
Two years ago, President Jonathan kick started the 163 billion naira project. The spiral effect of the construction alone will affect the economy of 80% of those living within that environment positively.

The 3,050 MW Mambilla project in Taraba was conceived 32 years ago and all previous governments used it for campaign and it was just an avenue for fraud . Last year, President Jonathan provided one billion dollars for the project to commence .

In 2014, President Jonathan launched the Great Green Wall Initiative , a 100 billion naira regional afforestation program designed to create a green belt of that will prevent desert encroachment towards 11 northern states. The states covered in nigeria are Kebbi , Zamfara , gombe, Yobe, jigawa, adamawa, bauchi, katsina , Borno, sokoto and Kano .

The Abuja-Kaduna rail was started and completed by this administration . In a few months, people can actually live in Kaduna and work in Abuja.

Today, importers from Kano can haul their containers straight from Tin Can island to Kano, while exporters in the north can move their products from Kano to the sea port in lagos, by railway as Jonathan has revived the railways.

This is just a tip of numerous unprecedented projects carried out by Jonathan in the north. Yet the northern elders forum will come out strong to fight jonathan openly asking northerners not to vote him.
The opposition by the north against Jonathan is clearly not about performance but about tribalism and religion.

Let any northerner show me a northern president that has done more than these for the north.

Why are Nigerians so stupid like this? Is t so hard to grab a book or find articles online? Someone who is balance racist to all groups, except for whites is being endorse by a black person in Nigeria. Something who called blacks something akin to animals. M
Grab a textbook please. Because he's anti Muslim, bigotry Nigerians are supporting this doofus, not knowing he's just as anti black.

To brainwash blacks to start newslavery won't be hard at all.

Beat a child and you expect him/her to still come and play? Nooooo

raystar96:
deal with them....this way...now when garri Don go up....nonsense

stevecantrell:
Very real ish....I'm dealing with a kid like that now.. A 24 year old Man who started out just like this. Now a convicted rapist and attempted murderer.
And yes he's from an excellent background before you ask.

Some kids are just not normal. Child psychologists can do nothing for these kids.

By the time they're juvenile they've committed one felony or another. That you're not spiritual doesn't make it unreal to many parents who have strange kids who become a society problem later.

You want to laugh after you have one of your own like that but some parents aren't smiling.

Anyway I don't blame you, I used to get as 'happy' as you when I had my own brief experience with Crack .
