On sm of d points raised:

Cameron NEVER 'demanded' GEJ's govt to 'account for $100b gotten from oil sales', who the helll is him to demand dat anyways; as a mata of fact, his statement acknowledgd sm IMPROVEMENTS in transparency NOW and pledgd (or rather urgd his oda G8 membas) to help ensure MORE transparency going forward (which is still obviously needed)- which is just in order since Western nations are a big part of d reason successive 9jaria govts and officials hv gotten away wit such mindless waste and corruptn in d 1st place.

The #4b was intended to build a 'Mission House' for d 1st lady's project which wud hv included such tins like Vocational centres etc, it is NOT a 'Residential' House; d Senate shld hweva REJECT dis request cos d 1st Lady's office is unconstitutional in d 1st place and shld nt be appropiated for- d govt obviously goofed in dis respect.

The #5b is not meant for 'Pro.stitutes' alone but also for destitutes, beggars, 'less privileges', orphans etc; it is meant to clear d capital city of these 'kinds' of people and rehabilitate them, and its a social service that many persons including d 'emergency critics' (read, HYPOCRITES) hv bn demanding d FTC govt do for d longest time- d govt is in d right here.

The #7b isnt meant just to build '2 city gates' (its astonishing that sm persons are actuali stu.pid enuf to bliv dat) but meant to develop entire areas at d outskirts of d city that wud include roads, buildings, hotels etc- all meant for d City's tourism. The argument can be made though that d FCT cud hv allowd interestd private sector to do MOST of d constructns, and is a suggestn i tink mks sm sense and wud support as long as I get d details of hw dat is to be done.

NUFF said.

Who told Fani Kayode that Dr. Abati was referring to him when he talkd about 'yesterday's men' destructn of d Aviatn industry; I dont recall reading of any specific names Dr Abati mentiond in dat article, and there were certainly tens of former Aviatn Ministers; Guilty Conscience, mush??... The fact dat smone like Fani Kayode, who is currently battling wit plenty of corruptn charges in court, is still talking and presenting himself as sm form of 'Anti-corruptn' la 'Good governance' activist, is d clearest clue to the extent of d HYPOCRISY of a nation and d potency of dat Masterclass of an article penned by Dr Abati..

PointB: I think what critics should do here is to counter with facts what the Op has written about GEJ achievements.
Rather than regurgitating old worn out lines and propaganda aimed at positioning their party as better, even as we know better!

Personally I think these achievement are mostly correct. However, I would like to see more work done in other areas and places. For instance, what efforts are being made to improve PortHarcout Port facilities? How about Ibaka Port? What is the plan to accelerate it completion and commissioning? Why is the delay in starting a new Niger Bridge, and of course the East West Road? Thes projects are critically to opening up other part to the country and stemming migration to other urban cities that have such facilities.
LOL....then be ready to wait till Hell freezes over, Bros..

Eko Ile: Goodluck Jonathan's Administration is now the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria. Look at this analysis:

ANALYSIS


Crude oil production per day 2.5 million

Current price per Barrel 113 US dollars

Daily oil revenue 2.5 x 113 = 282.5 million US dollars

Monthly Sales 282.5 million X 30 days = 8.475 billion

Yearly Sales 8.4475 billion X 12 = 101.7 billion US dollars

Naira equivalent 101.7 billion X 160 naira = 16.272 trillion naira per year

Nigeria's Budget for 2012 = 4.5 trillion naira

Surplus money 16.272

- 4.5

11.772 trillion naira



So, Goodluck Jonathan answers this question: Where is the surplus money of 11.772 trillion naira every year?


The question is: what is Goodluck Jonathan doing to stop this day light burglary of public trust and looting of public treasury by his cronies, allies, friends, and acquaintances? I rest my biro-pen for now.
You see now. You 'hv just shown the entire world the nature and extent of your OUTSTANDING FOOOLISHNESS.

You summed up yourself very nicely, in deed. Congrats...

Our point at the risk of overstating what is by now too obvious: We have too many yesterday men and women behaving too badly. We are dealing with a group of power-point technocrats who have mastered the rhetoric of public grandstanding: carefully crafted emotion-laden sound bites passed off as meaningful engagements. That is all there is to them, after many years of hanging around in relevant places and mingling in the right corridors, all made possible through the use/abuse of Nigeria. Our caveat to their audience is the same old line: let the buyer beware!

When questions are asked, they claim they invented the ideas of due process and accountability. They once promised to solve the crisis of electricity supply in Nigeria.

But what did they do? They managed to leave the country in darkness with less than 2,000 MW; abandoned independent power projects, mismanaged power stations, and uncompleted procurement processes. The mess was so bad their immediate successors had to declare an emergency in the power sector. It has taken President Jonathan to make the difference. Today, there is greater coherence in the management of the power sector with power supply in excess of 4, 200 MW; a better conceived power sector road map is running apace, and the administration is determined to make it better
GBAM!!!

For the first time since 1999, the Nigerian Railway Corporation is up and running as a service organization. The rail lines have become functional from Lagos to Kano; Ewekoro to Minna, and very soon, from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri, Abuja to Kaduna and Lagos to Ibadan. They couldn’t do this in their time, now they are busy looking for money that is not missing with their teeth.
So on Point Again!!!

When one of them was in charge of this same estate called Nigeria, he shut down the Port Harcourt airport and other airports for close to two years under the guise of renovation. The Port Harcourt airport was abandoned for so long it was overgrown with weeds after serving for months as a practice ground for motoring schools. It was reopened without any improvement and with so much money down the drain, and the pervasive suspicion that the reason it was shut down in the first place was to create a market for a new airline that had been allowed the monopoly use of the other airport in the city.

Under President Jonathan, airports across the country are being upgraded, rebuilt and modernized; in less than two years, the transformation is self-evident. Perhaps the greatest hypocrisy from our see-no-good commentators comes from the one who superintended over the near-collapse of the aviation sector who is now audacious enough to claim to be a social critic.
On Point!!!
Politics › Re: The Hypocrisy Of Yesterday’s Men, By Reuben Abati by taharqa:
Those who believe that no one else can run Nigeria without them must be told to stop hallucinating. The former Ministers, former Governors, former DGs, and all sorts who have been busy quoting mischievous figures, spreading cruel propaganda must be reminded that the Jonathan administration is in fact trying to clean up the mess that they created. They want to own the game when the ball is not in their possession. They want to be the referee when nobody has offered them a whistle.
Genius!!!

LOL... GEJ has done more work by far in d Power sector than any leada in Nigeria's history (colonial and postcolonial); He is doing more work in d Railways than any previous leada since independence at least; He is doing more work than any previous leada in d Inland Waterways; He is presently doing one of d most extensive and probably d greatest turnaround in d Aviatn sector than at any one admin in d nation's history; He is also midwifying one of d most substanable, market driven transformatns in d Agriculture sector for a very long time; At no time in dis country's history has there bn a greater no of substantiali better elections than in d last 2 yrs, nor was there more RELATIVE transparency in govt, etc etc etc etc etc- ALL IN A LITTLE OVER 2 YRS, and counting.....

mastercee: GEJ is richer than IBB, Abacha, OBJ, Abusalami and Yara'dua

IBB stole $12billion
Sani Abacha stole $6b
Abusalami Stole 4billion
OBJ stole $16b
Yara'dua stole $18bllion
GoodLuck Jonathan has stole $67 billion so far.

This amount represent major scam recorded in their various regimes. We accuse IBB of the Gulf oil windfall of $12billion that went missing under his regime. We accuse OBJ of $16billion electricity project money that went missing during his tenure. We accuse Abacha of $6billion swiss back account. We say Abusalami stole $4billion during his time (We forgave him by saying... its ok, he ended military regimes). Yara'dua's cabal stole $18billion during his time in the hospital. $67billion so far has gone missing under Jonathan.

If you say each other presidents got 50% of the missing money..... IBB= $6billion,
OBJ = $8billion,
Abacha =$5billion(in full).
Yaradua = $8billion.
Abusalami = $2billion.
Jonathan = $33 billion

Jonathan is big fraud. Say NO to criminals.
There are many MENTALLY CHALLENGED persons on NL these days I swear....*smh*

Any person with a rudimentary knowledge of power transmissn wud know that there are daily average variatns (up and down- today's wud be diff from yterday that is reportd here) cos of many factors either to do with Transmissn system variation, Generatn Units variatn, Gas supply issues etc. It is possible that this momentary decrease yterday to 3700MW was due to many things including d time lag it wud take for sm of d units in those Power stations shut down in d Southeast dis weekend for the Benin-Onitsha Line installatn, to come back to full operatns Or oda combinatn of factors- IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRY SEASON..... By d way, d good tin about dis thread is dat ppl can now check daily power generatd and sent to d grid on dis S.O website link themselves; when it goes beyond 5000MW as it is likely to do soon and dis link reports it, hope nobody wud doubt it then...
