Kenobus:
Are you ready to listen to what he did? It is unfortunate to ask those questions. GEJ is a Hero anyday. First GEJ ruled Nigeria for 5 years 3 Months and never 6 years! Let me give a brief of what he did. The East west road was taken from nothing to over 85% completion. Many sections have been completed, check from Warri to Patani to Bayelsa; go to oron axis; He establishes two Federal Universities- University of Otuoke and Maritime University, Okerenkoko; he brought a Law school to Niger Delta situated in Yenegoa. He ensured that people no longer sleep on Benin-Ore road by giving it a major overhaul. He gave some of the critical Ministries to the Niger Delta people for real work and more empowerment; He ensured that Bayelsa was hooked on to the National Grid; he establishe a deep sea port and a dock yard in the Niger Delta; he empowered the youths by re-inforcing the Amnesty programme. He ensured that NDDC gets its allocation to work and so on; apart from the general things that affect all parts of Nigeria, like refurbishing the Airports. Compare this with OBJ that ruled 8 years or IBB that rule 8 years.

East west road that will open up the region - uncompleted

Coastal railway from Lagos to calabar - not touched (even though he built a railway from kaduna to abuja, after his disciples will be call some people Hausa slaves )

Unep report on ogoni clean up - nothing done or is it because it isn't In ijawland?

No airport in bayelsa his home state even though one of his mistress said she built airports all over Nigeria
I
What exactly did he do to deserve being called a hero in the Niger delta?

If those avenger are not to creation they should hold him responsible for the underdevelopment of the Niger delta because he had 6 years to turn things around there.

Really, that's what people criticizing the current government should look at. 6years without a headway, honestly, he didn't demonstrate sufficient courage to lift his region out of environmental brouhaha there.

ArmedRobber:


He didn't build kaduna -abuja railway obj started the project but Gej didn't complete it

Deadlytruth:


While I agree that Jonathan did nothing for the SS but even claimed that he deliberately left the SS untouched because he did not want to be viewed as being partial, I however disagree with the notion that Yorubas did not sing OBJ's praises. I agree that some very stubborn and assertive Yorubas like Tinubu, Akande, etc never praised OBJ but gave him nightmares; I remember vividly that a lot of Yorubas began to fondly call him Baba wa (meaning our father) after it appeared he was "dealing" with the North by imprisoning Al Mustapha who probably killed MKO even though his incarceration of the man did not have any effect on any road in Yorubaland. Even during the days when Atiku and OBJ were at daggers drawn most Yorubas were fully in support of OBJ and they tried to create the impression that Tinubu was a traitor for romancing with a Hausa man (not minding that Atiku was not really Hausa) who was against their Egbon (brother). Yorubas hatred for Atiku back then was not about anything on the PTDF funds misuse and third term which were the real seeds of discord, but about their brother's tenure being threatened by a disrespectful and insurbordinate "Hausa man" VP to his Yoruba boss. My greatest surprise was that even though OBJ did all he could to forestall a restructuring/SNC which Yorubas had been demanding since Abacha days, they still continued to hail OBJ as Baba. Though I will be dishonest if I don't add that despite the Odi carnage even my own SS too continued to hail OBJ as a patriot and detribalized Nigerian until OBJ and GEJ fell out with each other over GEJ's release of Al-Mustapha and also his second term bid.
I used to have many enemies in the SS for my stand against the accolades being showered on OBJ. They would accuse me of never seeing anything good in him. But today they even hate him more than me. It is all an irritating level of hypocrisy and very unfortunate.

IS THERE AN AIRPORT IN OGUN STATE? DID OBJ BUILD ONE THERE? AT LEAST GEJ STARTED AN AIRPORT WHICH IS STILL ONGOING IN YENAGOA. HE ENSURED THAT THE CLOSEST ONE PHC AIRPORT WAS GIVEN A FACE LIFT.

Ikwokrikwo:
He ruled for 5 years not six.

Why did AD the Yoruba party adopt OBJ as their candidate in the 2003 presidential election?

drinking and rubbing his crouch on other people's wives bakasi. in addition to funding tompolo

wordychap:



Apart from this, ALL Federal roads in Akwa Ibom State were I reside were tarred,
Besides he was President of Nigeria not President of Niger Delta

temmytanny:

So Gej tared the roads in akwa ibom? So which one did akpabio tar?

PassingShot:

So, this translate to Yorubas worshiping him?

You go fear reasoning for NL!

wordychap:

Federal govt. roads are under the Federal govt. and ALL were fixed; some by Akpabio and he got d money refund from the FG.
Akpabio fixed d roads under State govt.

PassingShot:

Typical of people cornered. I can't remember Yorubas worshipping OBJ while in office and out of office.

So, answer the question.

PassingShot:

The SW controls the media and the media outlets never sing his praise except when he had running battle with Atiku and some northern elements, and that is understandable.

Till today, many Yorubas believe OBJ didn't perform well in office after eight years and that's the fact.

aluk:



See defence. If I were to mark your scripts, you would be coasting home with -10%. But thank your stars. This one no be exam.

temmytanny:

Really? What happened to calabar ~ itu road?
How about etinam ~ eket road?
How about eket section of East:west road?
Just asking

Menace2Society:

Yorubbers are the only people in Nigeria that will never go anywhere out of Oshogbo and Lagos. But once Niger Delta is mentioned they will start analysing our matter. Them swear for una?
