Who is making mouth? Instead of threatening, do it now. Like Ipobs making silly ultimatums and chestbeating. Mtchewe
See friend I know clearly you many not have anything to lose in lagos as you many not have any investment there, but sorry alot of Igbo's have alot at stake in lagos. You see when you start talking online I clearly see it excessive obsession of the word Ipob and chronic mouth leakage. Just chill and stop tagging people Ipob.

Policies against Corruption
GEJ was a leader who fought corruption with policies that will last, he lead strong institutional back ground for fight against corruption. The TSA & IPPIS remains some of Goodluck Jonathan's policies that will always speak for him. I also acknowledge what the current govt is doing with the policies.
Treasury single account (TSA) policy compliance was introduced by Goodluck Jonathan to block leakages of revenue generation. In the words of lia mohammed " TSA deal was initiated by the immediate past administration but only enjoyed a new lease of life under the administration of president buhari..."
Another policy of GEJ to fight against corruption is the [i]integrated personnel and payroll information system(IPPIS), it was introduced to block ghost workers syndrome. I also commend president buhari for his effort in continuation of this particular policy

You talk as if you were there when I was celebrating in January 2016 . Accept it GEJ failed in the power sector . He also handled the privatization badly as he only handed over the power company to cronies who were never planned to put any money into their investment but expect government to still be finding their investments for them . Wicked people
I don't like people telling stories because there were told or because they are subjected to some form of hate against someone or event. Every statistics and data available has shown that he is the best so far. You can go through what i claimed and tell me if any is a lie until then just chill.

Jonathan did not put up policies that lead to NIPP ,NIPP has been in before Jonathan . Power sector is a sector the GEJ administration should be ashamed of its performance. If he has performed as you want to make us believe why are we still in darkness? The distribution companies that took over the defunct PHCN don't have money to run it and are even being bailed out by government .......smh. ...... hundreds of containers of power equipments have been abandoned at the ports for years, equipments that would have ensured great improvement in our power sector was deliberately left to waste .
NIPP was actually started in 2004 by obj, but it still do not change the fact that all i wrote up there is right. Do you knw that the project was stale due to lack of fund before Gej.
...You talk as if you were not among the folks that were celebration steady electricity at the begining of 2016, do you think it just came by chance?

These are some of the 14 Universities built by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, with their structures in no particular order
1] Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State. —North Central.
2] Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State. ——-North Central.
3] Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State.– North East.
4] Federal University, Wakari, Taraba State. —-North East.
5] Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State.-North West.
6] Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State.——-North West.
7] Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State. —South South.
8] Federal University, Ndufe-Alike, Ebonyi State.-South East.
9] Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State.——-South West.
President Goodluck Jonathan also on Thursday advised Nigeria’s National Economic Council (NEC) to approve the upgrade of six Federal universities to Mega tertiary institutions with absorptive capacity of 150,000 students to 200,000 students each. The affected Universities are yet to be named by the Presidency.

A friend came back from France, after studying for his masters degree and was absorbed by Federal University, Ndufe-Alike, Ebonyi State (FUNAI). He had an interview with the VC, Prof Ayo Ibidapo Obe directly and the VC was impressed and so he was directed to go through the recruitment processes of the school. He was absorbed and subsequently listed to go back for his PhD, being sponsored by the school via TETFUND. It breaks my heart when lazy Nigerians run their mouth and insult President GEJ, claiming that some of his works don't exist. The worst mistake Nigerians will make is to vote in Buhari in the forthcoming election. We will live to regret it. Jonathan did not only build these universities but appointed seasoned professors with administrative experiences and track records to man them. Prof Nebo was poached from Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State (FUOYE), while the like of Prof Ibidapo Obe still remain in the various ones. I don't want to forget how first class graduates have been selected all over the country and sent on scholarships to various countries to study with a bond to come back to Nigeria and serve after studies. A kid brother just graduated after his doctorate programme in Newcastle University. Instead of wasting your life badmouthing GEJ on Nairaland, go back to your books now and take advantage of GEJ's wonderful investment in education. A word is enough for the wise

Pavarottii:
He made sure there was a federal institution in all states. Adding 12 more universities.

He conducted free and fair election during his time. Wen opposition won elections with ease e.g Edo, Ondo and Anambra. And he called dem to congratulate dem.

He fought corruption with putting systems on ground. IPPIS, TSA and BVN.

He met a power production level at about 2,000plus and left it at about 5,000MW.

He created jobs through Sure P, YouWin etc.

The number of beneficiaries from PTDF from. 2010 till 2015 is more than the whole beneficiaries from since wen d program started till that time. 19something.

He made sure he repaired and constructed new federal roads in all geopolitical zones.

He revamped the railway sector.

He increased our non- oil generated revenue wiv the turnaround and rebranding of d agricultural sector. (kudos to Femi adesina).

He made our economy grow at about 7% from 2011 till date and made our economy the 3rd fastest growing economy( kudos to okonjo iweala).

For the first time we never experienced fuel scarcity in d month of December since d inception of Nigeria for his period of rule and for the first time we had the highest production of crude oil in Nigeria.(kudos to Deziani Madueke).

The first African country that was affected to eradicate Ebola.

OP, I don tire to type.

My only wish is if he will become president again.
nice one there are many more but i will run your points separatlysmiley

Don't be skeptical bro. The cost of the the project is #170b and it is a PPP project government will commit #17b which is 10% of the cost of the project and the concessioneer company will provide the remaining 90% funding, the previous government have release #4b which the current government just complete the commitment of the fg #17b on the project.
you are wrong it is actually 30billion naira the previous govt committed 17billion + 13billion now which means the fg commitment has been completed.

I am not interested on people dancing around their own drum beats, like i said the is no conviction or what ever yet from anyone in clear and formal scene. All allegations and statements made so far are coming from only one source, the efcc. Even at that they have not brought out a sound and authentic source that will indicate such scandal, all they do is play their own song, dance to it and at same time rate their performance.

who are the people returning money and how did it come about that we don't know them. It is not about stage witness that will deny anything any moment,until I see when there is real convict people.

There are things people do not know, if Igbo nation says No to anything there is nothing cheap blackmail and evil propaganda can do to waiver or check their view about anything. But if there say yes trust me they don't speak with double mouth, their yes is yes, as they will follow it through tick and thin. Buhari should work to also put ndi igbo in his scheme of things n watch how he will reap big. People greatest fear is how the Igbo support things, they only turn to tribalism because it is the only thing that brings Nigeria to unity when ever they hear Igbo.

Whether you like it or not last two administrations started the repair/re-branding of Nigeria, all the current govt need do is to continue. Never mind all these gates EFCC open here and there, these are the total sum of money used.
