fixed, oya tackle the points noted

Sincere9gerian:
First, GEJ has not been President for 6 years. So @op, start on truthful note by correcting yourself

Some good things GEJ has done in the past 6 years....

He repainted the airports

We now have airconditioned trains (even though it is meant for the rich) in Lagos, as well as light rail in Abuja (almost completed).

He also completed the fixing of the Benin - Ore expressway

Continued with the privatisation of electricity

He established new universities

He claimed to have created a million jobs and he said he reduced poverty by 50%, yet to be verified.

Due to his agricultural agenda, Nigeria's import bill has reduced from about $7b to $4.3b annually, Nigeria now has Africa's largest rice mill.

Feel free to add yours

Some not so good things about him
https://www.nairaland.com/1965231/some-not-good-things-gej#27418674

His administration has been marred by various corruption charges and not a single one has been successfully prosecuted

A lot of evidently corrupt people are being celebrated in Nigeria

Despite audio and video evidence, Farouk Lawan is still a free man and still a member of the federal house of reps

Police pension fund scam still not resolved

Sanusi raised alarm over missing money and instead of taking action, Jonathan suspended Sanusi and till this day we don't know how much went missing but we know Nigeria's money is missing

First Nigerians president to own so many private jets

First Nigerian president to travel to commonwealth event with over 200 delegates

He has so far refused to declare his assets like his predecessor did

Boko haram has killed more than 13,000 Nigerians and displaced more than 3 million

Chibok girls are still not found 6 months after

Nigeria has borrowed about 10 billion dollars since he became president

First Nigerian president to budget a billion naira for feeding

Increased fuel price from 65 to 150 then down to 97. His predecessor actually reduced it from 70 to 65

His petroleum minister has been accused of all kinds of fraud but he has done no single things about it

75% of graduates are unemployed

A number of journalists and opposition leaders have been summoned/arrested/intimidated by the SSS

All y'all condemning without reading his reasons, what is wrong with true federalism and each states and region allowed to develop themselves? There's too much power at the center that's why we blame GEJ for everything and the Jonathanians say we are being unfair but that's the truth. True federalism is the way out...

Political enemies are hoping to reduce power supply in one area or the other in an effort to sabotage opponents.

THE ABOVE IS UNCALLED FOR, BLAMING INSTEAD OF ARRESTING (EVEN IF IT WAS TRUE)

Tambuwal Denies Rumours Of Defection To APC
BY CHANNELS TELEVISION . OCT 20, 2014
TambuwalThe Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, has denied the rumour that he had defected from the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, said that the clarification became necessary due to various media inquiries about the purported defection of the Speaker.

The statement reads: “Monday, 20/10/2014, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih, led other members of the party to a reconciliation meeting in Sokoto but the Speaker of the House of Representatives and a member of the NEC of the PDP, Rt. Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal CFR, was not invited to the meeting.

“Rt. Hon Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal was later invited by His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, to attend the meeting of their political family to discuss the political future of Sokoto State.

“The Speaker, Rt. Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, duly obliged and attended the meeting. The meeting had in attendance prominent Sokoto citizens, many of who have no known political affiliation. The most notable being the Sardauna of Sokoto and former Minister of Finance, Alhaji Abubakar Alhaji.”

He added that consultations on the Speaker’s political future had continued and that the outcome would be made public at the appropriate time.

Online media had been agog with reports about his defection to the APC, quoting him to have asked the party members present in the meeting to accept him “as one of you, starting from today”.

The Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal has defected to Nigeria’s Opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC dumping the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP a platform through which he emerged speaker of the green chamber.

Tambuwal defected Monday in Sokoto when he attendeed the APC Stakeholders meeting , the speaker is expected to announce his defection officially during Tuesday’s plenary session in the House of the Whole…

Some members of the House of Representatives are also expected to defect with him during tomorrows plenary from the People’s Democratic Party. Tambuwal in the last one year has been a strong opposition to the ruling PDP, ignoring the National Executive Committee meetings of the party and attending events organized by Chieftains of the APC.

His defection comes as no surprise especially for political analysts who before now, predicted his eventual defection ahead of the 2015 general elections.. Tambuwal is known for moving from one political party to another since he began his career in active politics.

At the stakeholders meeting reports gather were Aliyu Wamako, the executive governor of Sokoto State, and Inuwa Abdulkadir, the former Minister of Youth Development who served under the President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet before he was sacked.

“What the voodoo economists will not tell you is that N51 billion of certified works, done on Federal Government Roads by the Lagos State Government, is owed to our Government by the Federal Government and is not yet paid. If we had N51 billion, what we would borrow will be reduced by that amount.

If they take up projects, like rehabilitating the expansion joints on the bridges built in Lagos when she was the Federal capital, our burden will reduce. If they provide electricity to schools and hospitals, the cost of Government will reduce.

“Whatever the case, let me assure you that your state can repay every debt that she has contracted; in order to provide services for you. This year our 2009 bond for N50 Billion fell due for repayment.

That paragraph is for people like you

mikeson12:
Yea,Fashola is working.He is busy borrowing money here and there,thats what I call "Hardwork"

Even a blind man knows Fashola is working,

okosodo:
muslim-muslim will not work

it worked in 1993 and it will work again next year

Is anything wrong with God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob as has been used for generations?

CAC which I am a member of for example use God of Apostle Ayodele Babalola, doesn't mean we are praying to Babalola but his God who also is the same true living God as God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, through that you are also tapping into the covenant God had with those men.

In my opinion there's nothing wrong.

damiperry:
I have seen people using the names of their pastor when praying,like God of this,God of that hear my prayer,rather than praying to God directly.To me i see it as something wrong cos u don't know if the pastor has his own small god who he is worshipping in secret n you re indirectly worshipping his god too by sayin d god of this(your pastor name).xo nlanders what's your view about this?...apy xunday

ITbomb:
This is very insightful.

With all his anti corruption hype, there is not one movement he is pushing to fight or expose corruption.

Taking a loan to get a nomination form is a sign of bad management decision. It is like lottery, since when did banks grant loans for lottery or any venture with a flip coin chance.
He would have raised the money from associates or at least part of his savings.
Is this the way he will be taking loans to solve national challenges? Instead of considering all alternative.

Buhari declared and next day, Boko Haram agrees to a ceasefire, what am I thinking?

you're attempting to distort public opinion

Mogidi:
It may not be part of their uniform but its part of the gradual Islamisation of Nigeria.

Did you forget your brain in the bathroom this morning?

how?

chimoz:
APC is causing trouble for us.

Ekiti! Speaker directs Ekiti Lawmakers to go on recess for one month as armed thugs take over Assembly after @GovAyoFayose inauguration in an attempt to impeach the house speaker and from PDP's antecedent, the speaker did the wise thing.

"Hypocrisy is when you say that Buhari is too old at 72 and you keep calling Awolowo and Zik your heroes, whereas, Awo and Zik contested for Presidency in 1983 when they were both 74 and 77 respectively!

Hypocrisy is when you say the youths are better than the old wereas the youths were responsible for the wars we had and are still having in Nigeria, Ojukwu and Gowon in 1967, Asari, Tompolo, Shekau in today's Nigeria, youth doesn't connote soundness of mind and old doesn't mean you're senile. GEJ became Deputy Governor in his 40's, OBJ's first presidency was in 40's, IBB ruled Nigeria in his 40's......Look at NANS today, will you be comfortable if GEJ handover to NANS Executive?

There are good youths and good old ones, age doesn't take your brain away neither is youthfulness a guarantee for mental fertility!

Front page material, if the mods are unbiased

Festac in the 70s, before the they destroyed it
cc @ berem

I've been sleeping on my right side which I've discovered to be very comfortable hence I don't snore anymore or wake up gasping for breath

There was enlightenment, on radio, tv and even social media

whirlwind7:
The answers to your first 2 questions are yes and yes. May seem unbelievable, but if you have ever lived for a period of time outside Nigeria, you will understand.
The enlightenment part is what I can't vouch for, but if LASG can keep this up, perhaps even dedicate one day in every month to observe a "no horn" day, the trend will gradually catch up, until it becomes a part of the diving culture here.

The key word is PATIENCE.
Many people tap the horn button for no good reasons: saying hello to a friend while driving by, trying to get the attention of roadside hawkers, letting the driver ahead of you know that he's too slow for your liking...the list is as endless as it is unnecessary. Almost everyone on Lagos roads go through moments of madness between the hours of 6am till 11am, then from 5pm till about 10pm. We are all in a hurry to get to work, and then get home afterwards. These irritating horn sounds peak within these periods and it can be very annoying.

God bless you too Sir

dawoyo:
Will do boss. Thanks for all the assistance rendered. May God bless U!

I just sent your order number to her, kindly let me know when you get an update

dawoyo:
Here's the order number: 302419582, I'd appreciate any assistance you can render.
I called them yesterday and I was told that the delivery guy will call me as soon as it is ready for pickup. Nai I kukuma rest for the matter.
This whole experience is an eye opener for me I swear. I won't eva buy anything nor advice my enemies to buy anything from jumia.

ask them the status of the order, I'm surprised because I've never had this kind of issue with Jumia. Send me your order number so i can send to someone I know who works there

dawoyo:
I asked for a refund on d 1st of October & was advised here not to request for a refund. I later called them after ova 1 week & told them to change it to a voucher. I received an email that a voucher isn't possible anymore as a new Innjoo device has been processed already for delivery. That was on 10th & I'm still waiting for it oh. I called them today to ask if it was possible to change it to i2 or i2s so that I can pay the difference on delivery & again, I was told no. My guy, the thing don tire me I swear!

did you ask for a refund or a voucher to purchase another?

dawoyo:
Nothing yet oh. They keep telling me to be patient oh

Never, because my faith will eventually fetch me much more

how about now

dawoyo:
My broda, jumia matter tire me! I returned d phone on the 11th of Sept & I had to keep calling until they eventually sent me a mail on d 18th that they will send me a replacement device as d phone was bad. Do you knw that I'm yet to receive nor hear 4m them again? I had to officially request for a full money refund on the first of this month & I'm yet to hear from them.
I won't lie you, I'm so sad about the whole situation and the worst past is that I don't even knw who to report the issue to. 
Next time if I hear/see jumia, I will take off!‎

Pushing this kind of thread the frontage is the highest mischief I've seen on Nairaland this year, how could you do such knowing there are Jonathanians waiting to feast on this and spread lies further to the gullible?

Buhari knows Nigeria is a secular state and could never have said that...

At last the clueless is becoming "clueful", the authorities shouldn't go to sleep and start celebrating yet though, so that they won't regroup and we won't have more attacks and videos from Abubakar Shekau the 3rd

The Body of Christ is under attack, but the attackers will not succeed. It is signs of the end time but true believers will come out victorious. Tope Alabi remains my most favourite gospel artiste
