The answer is simpe, your governors that have suddenly turned born again led by amechi and fashola screamed that it was unconstitutional to have sovereign wealth fund, excess crude account, infact any other account apart from the federation account was illegal.they went further to scream that there was no point having a huge foreign reserve when there is a lot to do with money.they took the federal government to court, and the rest is history. They shared the money.if they had judiciously used these monies for developmental projects, funding smes, infastructural ptojects which would stimulate gtowth in the economy, most states wouldn't have needed bail out funds.please tell me what osun state needs an airport for? Is there no airport in ibadan? How many people travel by air ftom osun? These and many projects like these replicated in most states are what brought us to where we are today? Saint fashola and his god father ruled lagos for 16years, why couldn't they provide electricity for lagos? When they fall sick, they go overseas for treatment. And yet people like you will idolise them.see oshoimole, who was loved by the masses, he constructed the benin airport road for 8years.All the roads in GRA benin are in a terrible state.even the bail out funds given to the governores were diverted.so you asked what happened to the money, ask the governores. One more thing, when PMB came in, he inherited 30b dollars, 2.5trillion from TSA with oil selling at 38dollar/barrel, let him seat up and work and stop complaining.

My governors?

You may direct your question to Fashola & Amaechi (your current ministers and then leading figures amongst the gangsters parading themselves as governors). They may wish to tell you the role they played in ensuring that the excesses were shared among the tiers of Government, even when Iweala warned against such. As usual, your type will always blame GEJ for everything, even for the polluted air in your community.

I will blame all of them instead of defending anyone based on my tribe. GEJ was clueless and so is Buhari.

One question Mr Ex-President, where is the money that was made when the economy was booming? Where are the savings that would help Nigeria and Nigerians make it through the rainy days?

Why did other governments build up reserves, why didn't you?

I am not sure who is more clueless, you or Buhari but you have this in common, cluelessness.

The money was used to provide light, water, rails and trains, stablise petrol supply, build a stable economy before the new administration came to scatter everything again and put us back on square zero. We are back in the beginning only God knows how long it will last.

He was extremely weak minded for a leader,does not understand the destructive nature of corruption in a society,failed to write his name in gold because he did not tackle the electricity problem, he exacerbated it by selling phcn to his thieving friends.He also failed to diversify the economy. I could go on and on,he was a bad leader but got one thing right,he did credible elections although the Ekiti one was not clean

Former president, Goodluck Jonathan yesterday touched on some of the legacies of his administration while speaking to Friends of Africa Coalition on “Strengthening Democracy and Elections” at the mayor’s office in Newark, New Jersey, United States.

Speaking to the elite group, Jonathan said the 2015 general elections in Nigeria had potential for major crisis and that the campaigns leading to the elections almost polarised the country into Christian v Muslims and North v South divide.

The former president said that most world leaders were worried that the elections would result into major crisis.

“Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls. That is where the leadership question comes into play.

“As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first. How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties? With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through. Indeed, we sailed through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it.

“My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body,” he said.

Jonathan said his strict adherence to the rule of the law ensured that Nigeria’s peace, prosperity and progress were not derailed by the conduct and results of the 2015 elections.

Speaking on the other legacies of his administration, he said: “I am proud to say that while I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World with a GDP of $574 billion.

“I inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again.

I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement. In 2009 the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa.

“These are but a few of the parameters that illustrate some of the economic transformations we engineered during my term in office.”

The former president said this success was made possible by the fact that there was a stable political leadership in Nigeria that did not have to pander to any other constituency except the electorate who brought him to power.

Jonathan also argued that if the process that brought leaders to power “did not flow through the people, they naturally administered their governments to first and foremost serve the constituencies that brought them to power.”

Jonathan also met with the CEO of Moskeeto Armor, Robin R. Crespo and his team as part of events leading up to the World Malaria Day on
April 25th, 2016.

Moskeeto Armor manufactures clothing to protect against malaria, the zika virus, Denue and other vector-borne diseases.

It was successfully clinically field-tested in Nigeria in 2014.

When worn by children as a standalone product, Moskeeto Armor was 90% effective at reducing the malaria infection rate, and when combined with a bed net, the Moskeeto Armor combination was 97% effective at stopping the spread of malaria.

The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation is partnering with Moskeeto Armor to protect African children against malaria and other vector-borne diseases.

“The simple principle of ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself’ lays a foundation of commitment to protecting nations,” said Jonathan during the meeting with Moskeeto Armor.

Continuing, he said “these crises caused by such small insects, transmitting these deadly diseases, have devastated so many lives across Africa and the world, but with one just as small idea, there is hope for a better tomorrow.”

I laugh in Swahili. The economy was stable? Why then does Nigeria suffer more than any other country from the falling oil price if the economy was so stable? EVERY other oil exporting country put money in their reserves because it is a WELL KNOWN fact that the oil price can fall abruptly and considerably. Mr Ex President didn't know it?

We are back to square zero because the country's ability to react to the falling oil price was crippled by the last administration.

We are back in the beginning only God knows how long it will last.

Indeed because Buhari is not doing the right thing either.

Light? with all the distribution companies borrowing
Water? where. Is the FG in charge of water
Petrol supply?
Rail and trains? show us

How did Buhari scatter all of these

Are all the power companies not still in operation? How did Buhari scatter everything
Show us the policies?

You mean that rail system can be dismantled in one year?

If they shared N10b, 50% ie N5b was given to FG

So where is the saving made by FG from this under Jonathan
Or did NOI force him to spend it?

I am proudly PDP to the bones but With due respect to Jonathan, his achievement is FOI law, road construction/upgrade and Phone call. Shikena!!!

This doesn't mean that the present occupants of government offices are anyway better.




You only saw it to your own view. Jonathan was too weak, but apc with their propaganda will never achieve his fit in 16yrs. He only mentioned a few that goes with the occasion of his host. And you mentioned a few that caught your attention.
