bayooooooo: GEJ has failed not just the entire nation but also himself. He has taken incompetence to highest level, corruption to an unenviable height. The President himself admitted to woeful performance by blaming his lackluster, corruption ridden administration on Boko Haram a la insecurity as if the same was not aggravated under his watch. The federal payroll has quadrupled under his watch which effectively reduces capital expenditures to nothing more than a mere purchase of "tooth pick".

The other day, his administration told the nation that a whooping 1.4 million jobs were created within 12months. They continue to run an expensive propaganda to feed these lies, deceit and outright conjectures to unsuspecting Nigerians. They have hired an attack dog, so more of this thread will spring up in immediate foreseeable future! It's that not what this thread is all about? To trumpet the achievements of GEJ? You said the foreign reserves rose to 37billion, can you tell us who depleted it? Can you tell us the debt profile (FG share) of this nation now? If you don't know, it's rising under the watch of clueless President. Why won't 120billion scam be exposed? Has Dame Patience not been collecting salary as a ghost worker for the past twelve years? Anybody can expose anything, we will applaud him if his wife return all the salary she had been paid without commensurate work. The proposed SWF is a mere change of appellation from what's used to be excess crude account. It's not a new initiative but essentially a fraudulent ornamentation to portray GEJ as an innovative leader which in any case he's far from.

The reforms you hype about in oil sector are non existent. What's oozing out is putrid odor of monumental corruption that's suffocating the entire nation. We have seen how executives of NNPC are being retired in one sweep in a glaring case of tenure violation and same executives being praised for job well done. We have seen how the subsidy figures provided by CBN, Okonjo Iweala, NNPC chairman differ as if no records are being kept. We have seen how subsidy funds jumped astronomically between 2010 and 2011. Every man of good conscience is aware that GEJ fraudulently used the funds to run his election campaigns and that explains why all efforts to catch these thieves have been impeded and under intense pressure ended up arraigning sons of past and incumbent chairman of PDP? What a natural coincidence. GEJ refroms in energy sector also brought the OPL 245 Malabu scam where the president reportedly got his share. He does not give a damn you know! The petroleum industry bill is not an idea of Diezani. It was already presented to the NASS but GEJ chickened out when Shell and US mounted opposition against the Bill as Yar'Adua previously wanted the bill to sail through. What you have now is a watered down version that is essentially a retention of the status quo ante. On refinery, tell that to the marines! Vulcan "is to, wants to, proposes to etc" falls within the deceitful propaganda of this administration. Not to talk of the credibility of Aganga and Vulcan (I dey laugh). Come back and trumpet that as achievement when construction is in progress.

On roads, we can only hope that will not be abandoned. Some of the roads have been awarded in the past but fall within the 6000 projects that the PDP led government have abandoned with impunity, without accountability and they continue like the present inept leadership to run the country down. No contractor was questioned, no policy enunciated to prevent re-occurrence and some of these companies that have sordid history of abandoned projects are being engaged to work in other areas a la Vulcan. Not to even talk that the list is a mere pint of water for a thirsty man. It merely scratches the problem at the surface.

On transportation, what's massive in expansion of the domestic wing of Abuja Airport? What's the updates on the so called upgrade of Enugu airport? As at 2010, I could not use same airport. I had to use the one at Owerri so what has/have he/they been doing for such a long time to bring to fruition their efforts? Meanwhile Delta just built a modest airport in Asaba without "is to, plan to, wants to" mantra that has become the watch word of this administration. Lest I forget, where is the 1600 buses promised by GEJ to cushion in the effect of the suffering masses? Yeah I know, he does not give a damn!

On education, while the Almajiris initiave is commendable, the rest amounts to pure junk. What's the fate of the federal universities that are acutely underfunded? Why establish universities that will not have adequate funding? Who are the lecturers that will teach in these universities? A more serious, innovative and cerebral president with a genuine PhD would have thought otherwise and instead focused on establishing Research and Infrastructure Upgrade Funds for existing universities. It seems the administration is suffering from poverty of the mind.

On agriculture, where is the policy? The administration wants to use the prevalent subsistence farming in the country to drive agricultural development? What a huge joke! Where are these "massive construction of silos" located? How is it being run? How do we get the products to the silos? Is the government creating a mechanism to act as interface between the farmers and the market? Cassava Bread Campaign is not a comprehensive policy as you have posited. Even at that, what's the correlation between cassava and silos? Do you keep Cassava in a silo? While setting up a loan scheme on the surface looks attractive and commendable, the question remains, how accessible are these loans? Banks do give loans but are not quite accessible to poor farmers. How's this loan different from conventional one? How many farmers have been able to access it? Or is it another NAPEP to feed PDP thugs?

On power, there is a genuine effort to improve the system. That's visible. The sector is such that if a plant is not completed, the effect can not be felt. There is nothing like 75% or etc completion. That's a unique challenge of power generation. Reviving NIPP, an initiative of OBJ, seems a right step in the right direction and a competent man in person of Prof Barth is at helm of affairs. I sincerely hope GEJ's culture of "I don't give a damn" and corruption will not be visited on the sector as well.

Overall, GEJ has failed the nation. (If we add insecurity, corruption, etc , you can only imagine the verdict).
