No.....

Your post is still there and I quoted it..

You claimed that no other region had the infrastructure in the East... That sadly is a big fat lie.

Even on your revised claim above, can you name one thing GEJ did in Lagos? Even the Man himself said he did fhuck all in Lagos and Port Harcourt during his re - election campaign. grin

The question of why the Igbos vehemently supported GEJ despite his not doing anything tangible in the East is a valid question. Atleast Obasanjo built the only good road in the East which is the Owerri - Onitsha highway.

Don't worry about answering the question above because the reason is clearly blind sentiments. He is from the South which was a former Biafran territory that's all..

The only road in SE is Onitsha - owerri road built by obj ryt?
Now I see exactly where u are coming from...
The thing is, we supported him bcz he's our brother ok!
You lot can go swim ur lagoon or better still the closest transformer could be of help.

I will continue to ask what exactly were GEJ achievements in South East to have deserved the cult support he receives in the region.
For a road as crucial as Enugu Onitsha Road to have been left undone amounts to GEJ's betrayal of SE (also the non completion of the 2nd Niger Bridge).

South East should do a soul searching, and change the illusion of goodness they thought they had during the GEJ administration.

like buhari like Jonathan

In lagos, many federal roads were reconstructed, including the Apapa Oshodi road whuch he didn't finish before leaving office...We know what's up with Lagos/Ibadan road before Jonathan...Even Lagos/Benin...Bring a link where Jonathan said he didn't do anything in lagos? Unalloyed hatred for Jonathan suffocates reasoning bro...Compare Jonathan Achievement in SW vs Obj Achievement in SW...

For the Igbo love for Jonathan, no matter your cry here, it remains undaunted and grows daily because; cheesy
Jonathan completed Onitsha Owerri road...He began Enugu Onitsha road which Obiano & co want to complete now through PPP without any federal input... Jonathan gave us International Airport which he made sure won't be hindered by financial constraints irrespective of who is in power(it will soon be commissioned)...He appointed Igbo to offices which were considered a taboo for them by other leaders including buhari...He allowed free & fair election in Southeast unlike Obj & now buhari...And many more reasons wink

- I am glad you said he didnt complete it before leaving office.. So technically speaking, he didnt fix the road..


Whynotthetruth:
We know what's up with Lagos/Ibadan road before Jonathan...

Yet another uncompleted Project..

Whynotthetruth:
Even Lagos/Benin...
Also incomplete..

Whynotthetruth:
Bring a link where Jonathan said he didn't do anything in lagos? Unalloyed hatred for Jonathan suffocates reasoning bro...

Hatred is too much an emotion to waste on an incompetent Buffoon such as Jonathan.. And if all you are pointign to are incomplete projects, what then did he do in Lagos?

Whynotthetruth:
Compare Jonathan Achievement in SW vs Obj Achievement in SW...

Well, this thread is not about President Obasanjo, but until you point out what can be called an achievement in the South West by Jonathan, then this argument is moot..

Whynotthetruth:
For the Igbo love for Jonathan, no matter your cry here, it remains undaunted and grows daily because; cheesy

No one is crying here or wherever, take it easy with the melodrama.. All we are asking is why the love when he did nothing in the South East..


Whynotthetruth:
Jonathan completed Onitsha Owerri road...

No he didn't...

The road has even started going bad due to erosion with one section of the road cordoned off and Jonathan did not even bother to carry out remedial works on that section and as we speak, it would take a whole lot more work now to fix it than ever before..


Whynotthetruth:
He began Enugu Onitsha road which Obiano & co want to complete now through PPP without any federal input...

How can you say Jonathan started Enugu - Onitsha road? grin Wow!!! grin

And that they want to complete it through PPP without FG input.. DO you even understand what PPP means? grin


Whynotthetruth:
Jonathan gave us International Airport which he made sure won't be hindered by financial constraints irrespective of who is in power(it will soon be commissioned)...He appointed Igbo to offices which were considered a taboo for them by other leaders including buhari...He allowed free & fair election in Southeast unlike Obj & now buhari...And many more reasons wink


Lol.. grin So an incomplete Airport that honestly should be more of a Bus Park & giving political appointments to Igbos are the reasons Jonathan is loved? grin



Anyways, thanks for trying.. You could have summarized it by saying we love Jonathan for tribal and regional sentimental reasons and left it at that rather than trying to build sand castles in the sky.. grin

Sadly, neither Anambra state nor Rivers State have any lagoons to swim in.. grin

I learnt Afonjas are the Yorubas, I am not Yoruba.. The closest water body to me would be the Agulu lake and the River Niger.. DO you want me to go swim there too?

Atleast you are honest and said it that your love for Jonathan is more sentimental than it is based on anything he did for the region and I can respect that.

Oh good u respected that. Let me also tell u that obj was voted by the sw bcz of he's their blood and same goes with baba. You can't separate sentiment from Nigeria's politics. Baba is now trying to play a fast one by appointing and employing his brothers but trust me its gonna backfire. The moment another president from another tribe comes onboard, the precedence has been set already by bubu so make them no complain wen that time show.

cheesy It seems you love hearing yourself even when it sounds discordant to the ears cheesy

1)Are we moving the goal post to "technical terms" now cheesy smh APC and cohorts sef...

2)Greater percentage of those roads are already done by Jonathan...so why the hatred by SW? Aside tribal & religious and hatred for his audacity to "stay" more with Igbo cum christians against Yoruba & muslims...what again is his crime?...What can engineer so much hatred for a man who did what your son couldn't do for you

3)I will point out more projects by Jonathan in lagos in particular and SW in general, if only you can show me Buhari's projects in Lagos(as then federal and state capital) and SW in his 1st coming that warranted SW worshipping and defending him more than his northern folks...if not for tribal cum religious attachment to APC...

4)cheesy So it is not Obj thread, but you hate filled and bigoted folks turned it to Jonathan thread? Was it a Jonathan thread? So how come Jonathan was all you all read in the Op even when Jonathan wasn't mentioned? If not hatred and jealousy, then what is it?

5)It is better to love a man who did "NOTHING" for me than to hate a man who did "NOTHING" for me...Igbo has right to whatever sentiment they hold...Cure yourself first before advising them...

6)Name which portion of the road that wasn't completed by Jonathan...btw I thought you said initially that Obj built it and now I bursted your lie...you wanna claim that it wasn't even completed grin ... Kindly name the portion Jonathan left undone plzzz... Erosion is a natural disaster with no timeframe...And topography of that region will make it susceptible to such...btw Buhari is almost 2years in office, why hasn't he done that portion you are complaining of, or is he a failure too? cheesy

7)I don't do hearsay bro...or spread propaganda cum hatred like you folks... Kindly visit the road and see if work hasn't been done extensively on it...with Onitsha end bursting into several lanes more than the dual lane it is in-between...Enugu/Onitsha has been started under Jonathan...PPP is just for SE leaders to take initiative than waiting for a confused buhari...Hence, Obiano led discussion and everything on this road instead of federal government....Who has done NOTHING but lie of capturing the project in 2016 corruption ridden budget; only to jump at offer of PPP for same project...You can only deceive yourselves bro cheesy Aside approval because of ownership reasons; I challenge you to drop any role by FG led by buhari on this project...

coolIf the airport is mere bus park; why did Buhari, Obj etc run away from approving it? grin grin Relax, let's see it's effect on MMA at full commencement of operation grin I hope you don't apply as conductor at this park finally grin
I
9)If appointment to security chief office alongside other political offices are mere nothing to you and other SE folks; how come you vilified and maligned Jonathan for marginalizing Sw in NASS even when Tinubu for selfish reasons was culpable ...How come Gbajamiala & Tinubu are foaming from the mouth against Dogara leadership?

Finally, Igbo can love Jonathan for doing nothing for them, it is not your headache; do kindly concentrate on enjoying the dividends of your love for Buhari ...I guess it is not in Southeast that pots of soup are missing already or drinking other concoction due to hunger and frustration from federal government wink

SW voting pattern since independence is predictable...it is simply Along ETHNIC lines... Challenge MadCow1 to prove otherwise...

See article below by a northern folk cheesy

The South-West zone has 14,296,163 registered voters, which represents 19.44% of the total number of voters
nationwide. In terms of national electoral strength, the zone is number 2. Taking into account the electoral behaviour of the South-West since independence, the zone has proven itself, without exception, of incapable of voting anyone other than its own. In the 1st Republic, it voted mainly Action Group in favour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo with about 69% voters’ turnout. In the 2nd Republic, it voted 78.75% of its total votes cast for UPN in favour of Chief Awolowo, with 70% voters’ turnout. In the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the pattern was repeated more or less the same, except that the total percentage of SDP’s votes in favour of Chief MKO Abiola rose up to 84.5% in the zone. In the 1999 presidential election, mainly because the only two candidates for the presidency were both from the South-West, the zone’s voters’ turnout was abysmally low (48.09%) with about 68% of the votes cast to APP in favour of Chief Olu Falaye. 2003 also recorded poor voters’ turnout with 71% of votes cast for Obasanjo’s PDP. In 2011, with no Southwestern candidate fielded by any of the major parties, the South-West voted PDP when a functional alliance with the CPC failed to field in Sen. Tinubu or his nominee. Besides, with the vicious experience of AD in 2003 when the PDP Federal Government uprooted its governments in five states of the zone, the South-West cannot now afford to risk having an opposition PDP government at the federal level again; certainly not after the hard pains and toils of forming the APC. It is therefore existential for the South-West to vote APC at the
presidential election.
