Hello all.

Previously I compiled a list of annoying things Jonathan supporters say in his defense. https://www.nairaland.com/1984252/annoying-things-gej-pej-apologists
Today I will be presenting you with things they list as his "achievements".

1. Rainy Season Electricity:
I remember during the peak of the rainy season, there were threads all over the place about how things have frozen in their fridges, about how PHCN is giving them 28/7 light. Fast forward to the coming dry season, how many hours of light una dey get now? When will people see that as a general rule, electricity is always better during the rainy season because of the raised water levels in the dam?? Sorry I don't have the patience to explain much, ask a secondary school science student near you for further explanation.

2. Groundbreaking Ceremonies:
Ok. to be sincere, Jonathan did not fail in the works sector. he did build roads he and there, renovated and built new airports, and railways. BUT you'd be surprised that a good number of these achievements are still in the groundbreaking level, some even still on paper. Such as the 4th mainland bridge, river Niger and river Benue bridges, etc. And a host of other "FG to" " FG plans to" news we keep hearing everyday.
Please allow my eardrums rest and feed my eyes instead biko.

3. The Rule Of Law/ Freedom Of Speech:
"you are saying this because Jonathan is gentle, he's not like OBJ or a military man" "If this was North Korea would you be talking about your president like this" bla bla bla.
Oh really? kindly remind me what system of government we run here. I have been thinking we were in a democratic regime all this while o! Are we even in Nigeria or North Korea? Abi I don miss road ni?
If your Jonathan was so sweet and gentle why did he harass Sanusi like that? Why did he turn Rivers state into a chess board game with Amaechi? Why did he suddenly increase fuel price that much despite all our pleas to at least provide some sort of soft landing for us first and on the first day of the year for that matter? Why did he......... in fact, let me save all the 'Whys' and 'Hows' for another day.
FYI, Yar'Adua was the real person who never interfered in court rulings, who never intimidated opponents, who never looked for trouble in anybody's state. Let me stop here before I start crying When Yar'Adua died, One of my Northern bobos then told me that Nigerians will soon start crying for Yar'Adua and I laughed at him and told him not to worry because we now have goodluck so no cause for alarm. Kai!

4. Nigerians Are Now Now Informed About FG Activities Because Of Jonathan's Transparency:
In their minds now they have buttered up all the shameful scams and missing billions of dollars recorded under Jonathan's watch by we are hearing about them now unlike during other regimes because of his "transparency". Really? Oh well sorry to burst your bubble. The reason why we are more informed now than during other administrations is because Nigerians are now more inquisitive and politically aware. We no longer wait for brown-envelop loving journalists to bring us news. We now use inside sources and thankfully investigative journalism is now gaining ground. We are now in the era of smart phones and people have been able find other uses for their phone. Such as capturing and reporting live news.

5. Foreign Investments:
Oh puleeeze! USA, UK, China, and co. have been falling over themselves to "invest" in Nigeria since time immemorial. Nigeria has always been a gold mine, for those who can find their way to the gold. Don't you just get it? The gains and returns from these investments are hardly ever felt by the masses. Yes, they help in developing and civilizing us but they hardly, in the long run, serve the common man. Example telecoms companies. You will be shocked to know the call and data rates in other countries. Government take the taxes and levies they pay and pocket them instead of using their investments to provide infrastructure and other basic needs for us.
So please stop getting us excited with your "France to invest $1B in Nigeria" "Nigeria signs $5B deal with Russia" headlines because we don't get to feel the money.

Let me stop here, I'm missing Yar'Adua

The much Needed ok !!!!!!!!

U have made ur point... GEJ till 2019!!!

If this present presidency is transparent that means GEJ must have declared his assets. When did he do that?

Thank you! A post for the last page really!!!

jonathanians dont have any achievement to campaign with! Very shameful!

Op! never mind, we are returning him to biafra to enjoy his full support!

Sai Buhari!

That's not even the point.

You can govern well and fight corruption without declaring any assets. Declaring assets does not mean anything to me until it is backed up with works.

englishmart:
mr president, your best achievements are far from fair. No vacancy for amendments. You had enough time already.

Very correct

I agree with this op completely, most especially number four. For over 50yrs that foolish NTA was brainwashing us and telling us only things that the government wants us to know. Today thanks to social media Linda Ikeji alone has broken more important news in the last one year than NTA has done in 55years

It pains me to my bones when I hear Jonathan apologists come up with these silly defences such as, he is transparent, he allows freedom of speech etc. The worst of all is the claims that Jonathan has built a second Niger bridge amongst other spurious delusional claims. Truth is that Nigerians have become militantly concerned with what goes on in the corridors of power and the social media boom has helped greatly in spreading this awareness.

Whenever I remember an insensitive statement I made in 2010 regarding Yaradua, I still feel depressed and I pray God forgives me. I turned on the TV that faithful morning and saw on the news that Yaradua was returned into the country in the middle of the night. In an unprecedented fit of rage, I yelled "why is this maga still alive." ...and this was all because I passionately wanted the meek and charismatic Jonathan to be my president.

Op, add this to it.

6. He built almajiri schools in the north
Of what use is almajiri school when lives and properties are not safe down in the north.

He increased una papa and mama's salary from 7000 to 18,000.

Do your calculations for a level 14 officer, and tell me GEJ is a failure for removing you ppl from the ocean of poverty.


You should also ask your "fellow" corp members what they prefer - 8,000 or 18,000


Ungrateful elements

So, we have to be grateful for not looting that money as well? Or for using a minute fraction of the nation's wealth to increase corpers allowee?
