Do You Want To Go Back To The Old Ways?-dr Goodluck Jonathan Asked by nigerianvenom(op): 6:31pm On Nov 11, 2014

84. Do you want to go back to the old ways?

85. We cannot go back to the old ways, where
there were long queues at our filling stations due
to irregular supply of products and our people were
exploited.

86. We cannot go back to the old ways, when
women and youths were denied opportunities in
government and in responsible positions.

87. Do you want to go back to the old ways?

88. We cannot go back to the old ways! We had
skewed distribution of tertiary institutions. Whereas
some states had more than one degree awarding
institution, some had none. We have now made
sure all states have at least one Federal University.

89. We cannot go back to the old ways! Our
economy is now the largest in Africa. Once, we
were virtually importing everything, now we are
exporting several products, including cement.

90. We cannot go back to the old ways! In 2009,
average life expectancy was 47 years, by the end
of 2013, it was 52 years. Some of our hospitals
now perform open heart surgeries, kidney
transplants and other challenging operations as we
reposition our health service to end decades of
medical tourism that drains our scarce resources.

91. We cannot go back to the old ways! Together,
in unity, we overcame Ebola, and in the process
demonstrated the strength of the Nigerian spirit.
And together, united, we must maintain our
vigilance.

92. Do you want to go back to the old ways?

93. We cannot go back to the old ways where
individual freedoms were trampled upon and
citizens were locked up for expressing their views
or criticising government.

94. Do you want to go back to the old ways?

95. We cannot go back to the old ways! We must
continue to have free and fair elections. We cannot
go back to the era where ballot box snatching and
stuffing became the norm. Where your votes never
counted.

96. Certainly, we cannot!

97. We have to move forward! Only forward!!, my
dear people, Forward!!!

98. In moving forward, I see a Nigeria that thirsts
for progress with children across the nation, eager
for knowledge and safely in schools!

99. I see a Nigeria where all who have taken up
arms, would again embrace peace!

100. I see a Nigeria where our women can aspire
to any heights, without hindrance!

101. I see a Nigeria where the flames in the Eagles
will rekindle, and the Falcons soaring higher in
victory!

102. I see a Nigeria where the children of
Mustapha, and Christopher, Ade and Ada, Timi and
Bunmi, Nnamdi and Namadi, do not go hungry!

103. I see a Nigeria where all, no matter their
beliefs, live in peace and harmony!

104. I see a Nigeria where the green passport is
accorded a royal reception the world over!

105. I see a Nigeria where one day the next
generation will take us to outer space.

We are already in it. When ex-militants like Asari Dokubo and Tompolo could threaten Nigerians, to the extent of ascerting taking the laws into their hands, and the security agencies cannot do anything. Remember Obasanjo letter? The action of the ex-militants came after the publication of the letter.
Your concern should be the blunder Jonathan made, when he said the suicide bomber that killed 47 students in Yobe State won't go unpunished, even though he was reading from a screen.

That is a pragmatic way to beat the opposition which unfortunately, APC lacks. PDP has always been mature in their dealings since time immemorial and that's has kept them on top. As a child born out of frustration, I see APC dying a natural death after 2015 undecided

When the peace was REIGNING.

We want the old ways, when marchants of death have no place to carry out their business. oh we surely missed the old ways.

When Nigeria was respected not a mockery in the league of nations

When the CORRUPTS were jailed not celebrated

When the projects were practical not from the mouths of Campaigners.

When the stealing was corruption..

When this country have refineries not subsidy cabals.

When religious leaders weren't campaigners.

When we have Hope not prophesy about the collapse of Nigeria.
