APC may not be the best Nigerian Dream, but it is better than the PDP that has turned the Nigerian Dream into the Nigerian Nightmare since 1999 to date. Forget the statistics of the political spin doctors of President Goodluck Jonathan and his hired crowds of sycophants.
If President Goodluck Jonathan has done well in health care, he and his family and more than 5,000 Nigerians will not need to spend more than N78 billion to travel to India and other countries every month on medical trips. If he and his family are afraid of using our hospitals, then it means he has failed to provide good and safe health care services. Education: With approximately 10.5 million kids out of school, Nigeria holds the world record of having the highest number of its young people out of school according to current reports. The quality of secondary school and post secondary education is deplorable with many unqualified teachers and lecturers, because of the appalling deterioration of colleges of education in Nigeria and out-of-sync academic curricula and terrible campuses with horrible living conditions. None of the children of President Goodluck Jonathan and his public officials attends public schools in Nigeria, because they know they are bad. They have misappropriated public funds and ill gotten riches from over-invoiced government contracts, illegal oil blocks and fuel subsidy contracts to build their own private schools after neglecting the public schools. Agriculture and food security: In spite of the commendable agricultural projects of the federal government, Nigeria is still spending more than N600bn annually on food importation, including N991bn on Rice and Wheat Importation. Roads and Transportation: The PDP government brags about road construction, but Nigerian roads are still among the worst in the world with second worst record for road accidents. Nigerian airports have been renovated, but they are still rated among the worst in the world. Nigeria has no national carrier whereas other African countries like South Africa, Kenya and Ethiopia have well managed airlines. The rehabilitation of railways is commendable, but still a far cry from modern rail transport system in the 21st century. Economic development and Employment: Lagos state is actually the success of the fast developing Nigerian economy that made the country the largest African economy. Lagos is the largest employer of labour with 90% of foreign investors in Lagos, the safest place in Nigeria. The Lagos state model of economic development should be copied by the Federal Government instead of the PDP making childish and foolish allegations against the APC government. See The New York Times: Nigeria is “the Worst Run of the World’s Most Populated Countries” | Can Lagos Save Her? Seth D. Kaplan, a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, writes on “What Makes Lagos a Model City“. Lagos State transport system alone creates more jobs than the entire PDP states. Lagos is the most populated state, because millions of jobless youths from the PDP states come to Lagos where they have more job opportunities. National Security: Lack of executive experience and political expertise made President Goodluck Jonathan to fail woefully in national security. He forgot that a stitch in time saves nine and failed to deal with the Boko Haram insurgency since 2009 and preferred to point accusing fingers at the opposition until his own kinsman the late General Owoye Azazi (retd) discovered that the PDP was responsible for the worsening situation of the Boko Haram insurgency. President Jonathan sacked him and the great general was later killed on December 15, 2012 in a mysterious helicopter crash in Okoroba Village of Bayelsa State while on the way back to the Port-Harcourt Airport. President Jonathan's glaring cowardice and incompetence have caused the mismanagement of national security from the Niger Delta to Lake Chad. The most shocking is the lackadaisical manner President Goodluck Jonathan handled the case of the kidnapped Chibok school girls since April 14, 2014. He lived in denial of the incident with his wife, First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan disgracing Nigeria by her childish and foolish reaction to the missing school girls. And her husband was even scared of visiting the school! But he was not afraid of later going to Maiduguri for his presidential campaign. He has abandoned the search to rescue the over 200 missing Chibok school girls. Cases of oil theft have increased under President Goodluck Jonathan with stolen crude oil from Nigeria sold openly in Togo and offshore before the watch of the Nigerian Navy and Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) http://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/files/chathamhouse/public/Research/Africa/0913pr_nigeriaoil_es.pdf The APC has a presidential candidate who has the proven record of crushing insurgents in northern Nigerian in 1984 and 1985 and also tacking the menace of oil theft. His military expertise gives him the advantage that he will be a more pragmatic Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces. He has the military experience, intelligence and expertise to guaranty his executive competence. The fact is, things can be better with a more accountable and responsible government that can reduce the rampant corrupt practices destroying Nigeria. And the APC is the only party than can guaranty the national security and welfare of the citizens of Nigeria. [/size] 1 Like 1 Share |

The country has been looming in adverse degeneration, corruption and insecurity. Imagine when a president says stealing is nt corruption. Just imagine and you want the same person to continue governing us. Think Gej is actually trying to affect d public mindset abt Gmb by changing d date of d election. Why? Coz d military are nt prepared . Then why his he d c-in-c den when he cant give orders. Many PDP have myopic view about government they should diffrentiate btwn military and democracy. In military if u cant be authocratic den u are nt implementing ur trainning and u are condeming a man who ruled under military govt 4 just a year and some mnts. Within dat year history had it dat there was orderliness in d state. Pdp hates discipline coz dey are bunch of indiscipline thugs. Compraring a man that ruled for 1 and did his best as a military man , compared to a democratic toy dat ruled for 10yrs wt little change. Think @ op if ur relative is part of chibok girls will u vote a man dat kept quit 4 a month on her whereabout? If u had a brother who obtain d immigratn form and lost his live searching for employment, will u continue with d govt dat killed ur bro? Will u vote in a man dat left d nation crisis unattended to and was seen dancing in a rally? Compare d past waec,neco and other education statistics to the present under ur shoeless man. Visit the hospitals and see how nurses and other workers are short staffed and also with no instruments to practise well , instead they improvise Thank God 4 God if not 4 campaing your dear Gej wont adjust and thanks to a man lyk Buhari who is xtending the wave of change to the pdp camp.

Let me start by thanking pendy79 orikinla and demandtruth and other wonderful guys who have replied the op intellectually. I wish mynd44 would be honest enough to address their rebuttal assuming there is any left in him. Often I have come across the expression "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know" people ignorantly use this expression without any idea if it's implication. Even though it might be true in some cases, it's not always true in all cases. I would say it's an uncertainty;mathematically 50% for either of the two choices. Mr A lives in a house with his 5 children. Everyday a beast comes in to the house to kill at least one of the kids. Mr A has been told that leaving the house could be worse. So following this "quotation" Mr A would have to wait in the house so as his family to be killed and perhaps him too. How foolish can one be following this quotation. What every sane man would do is move out with his family in search of help. After all, the worst scenario would be their death which is assured in the other choice. Let's be reasonable here. Mynd44 is just a person who has the right to choose who he wishes to vote for. I am not surprised he changed his mind. A secondary school friend who was very religious then and into politics now was a praise singer for Apc and recently became a pro PDP. If this my childhood friend's decision can be influenced, I see no reason why others won't be perhaps "compromised" too. So people celebrating like it's a major event is totally useless and uncalled for. In fact there would always be inter-party defection. Some as a result of their conscience and some otherwise. I am not happy with the current situation of my country and am ready to try the devil or angel I don't know (as many of you describe it) if that's what it takes to get it right. |
