PapaBrowne: How long did it take from conception for your mother to deliver you? Nine months no? If she did it in less than 9 months that would have been a failure because you would have come out premature. You want fully executed major projects in less than 2 years of an administration? Are you an advocate for premature delivery??
Major projects are for the first time in Nigeria been completed at record speeds and you are here talking failure. All previous governments ignored our airports. All previous governments ignored our railways. All previous governments ignored our road networks. Infrastructure is coming back up.
Anytime I drive the Benin Ore road these days and remember the days I was stuck in the bush for hours until late in the night, the missed flights that the bad road caused, the gruesome accidents I saw on that road, I appreciate Jonathan's government even more.
Fashola has been working on the 50km Lekki-Epe road for eight years and they are yet to complete it despite the huge income the accrues from tolls.

The airports have improved for the first the first time in our history. The railways are working even if not the best yet. They are commissioning new power plants. Agriculture is finally been transformed and the impact is obvious. OBJ had 8 years to do all this and he squandered it. He worked well on economic reform but he failed woefully in infrastructure development. I am glad anytime I see the areas that are improving. To think that all these are happening with huge security challenges.

More importantly, we havent had a bomb from Boko Haram since November 2012. Thats 3 months since the last bombing.

Nigeria is on a path of progress and Jonathan's administration is doing greatly. Although his scorecard on fighting corruption is very poor. Emphasis on fighting. But he has chosen to attack it through the back door. Not a good approach. He put the tools in our hands via the FOI but we have refused to use it. Also he doesn't come out strong on rule of law.

One thing Jonathan must learn to do is to inspire the nation. Working is not all it takes. Inspiration gets the citizens to participate effectively in the governing and developmental process. He hasn't inspired us well enough but he is working and performing assiduously!!

You Sir, deserve all the medals for being the 'real analyst', trust me too many Nairalanders here are premature in their reasoning faculties and they are incorrigibly stubborn to hold on to their warped views just stick around you will see them in action soon

Bashir Ahmad: 1. 1960 - 1966: Sir Abubakar Tafawa - Balewa's tenure, no public funds stolen

2. 1966: Major - General Aguiyi Ironsi's. brief tenure, no public funds stolen

3. 1966 - 1975: General Yakubu Gowon's tenure, very little corruption creeping in

4. 1975 - 1976: General Murtala Ramat Muhammed's tenure, zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline

5. 1976 - 1979: General Olusegun Aremu Matthew Okikiola Obasanjo's tenure, rulers started owning large properties running into millions of dollars

6. 1979 - 1983: President Shehu Shagari's tenure, characterised by weak leadership. Ministers and other top functionaries had a field day looting all the lootable public funds and properties even though the President himself was not stealing any dime!

7. 1984 - 1985: Major - General Muhammadu Buhari's tenure, zero tolerance for corruption, indolence and indiscipline. Corrupt politicians were jailed a minimum of 200 years in prison each!

8. 1985 - 1993: General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida's tenure, freed all the corrupt politicians jailed by General Buhari. These same freed politicians are majorly the same set of politicians ruining Nigeria now. During Babangida's tenure public funds were being carted away by public servants like confetti. In one swoop about 12 billion dollars mysteriously vanished!

9. 1993 - 1998: General Sani Abacha's tenure, five billion dollars stolen in his five years tenure

10. 1998 - 1999: General Abdulsalami Abubakar's 11 months tenure, about 2 billion dollars were alleged to have been stolen. Anyway the man is among the wealthiest people in the country today!

11. 1999 - 2007: President Olusegun Matthew Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo's second tenure, his bank account grew from twenty thousand naira after emerging from prison to being a multi-billionaire with choice properties in Nigeria and major cities of the world. Public infrastructure declined massively and gangsterism became the order of the day by his party, the PDP. Corruption prospered massively in his tenure! In one swoop 16 billion dollars just vanished, allegedly for electric power projects but darkness was supplied and is still being supplied in large quantity! In another mysterious disappearance the sum of 300 billion naira (2 billion dollars) meant for road projects also vanished into thin air!

12. 2007 - 2010: Late President Yar'adua's tenure, a quiet reserved and the messiah that not live long to be! The noiseless tenure. But due to perpetual ill-health was unable to tame corruption which is the character and perfume of his party men and women in the PDP. Had a slightly large family but he never allowed public funds to be spent on feeding the first family!

13. 2010 - Present: President Nnamdi Azikiwe Ebele Goodluck Jonathan's tenure, full of noise but empty of substance. Spends about a billion naira per year for food for himself, wife and two kids. In the 2011 election year about 2.6 trillion naira just disappeared from the public till, which is the highest disappearance of public funds per year in the country's history! Intolerant of criticisms. Suffers acute inferiority complex and seems to dislike any war against corruption. A former Education Minister and Vice President of the World Bank, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili accused his government and that of his immediate predecessor of not accounting for about 67 billion dollars! Since then his government has been responding in the manner of a headless chicken. They are busy insulting the woman instead of stating in facts and figures what they did with the money. In fact, the SUNDAY PUNCH newspaper of 25/11/2012 pointedly said about 31 billion dollars were stolen since his government came to being on May 6, 2010.

His government looks promising to hold the medal for the most corrupt in the world!

Lord have mercy on my fellow youths and give us the courage to save this country!

Join APC today to kick up corruption tomorrow!!!

Son, there is what we called 'Free Radicals' they are very potent to our daily lives and could be responsible for your nervous breakdown (check it) if you think Murtala Mohammed tenure was into zero tolerance I can only shake my head for you and your tutors! Take at least 2 full glass of water every morning for the next two weeks, then we can relate

Demdem: This thread is for Retardeen. meet me on fashola's thread.

Coward, typical

So far so good, I will give him a 65% overall, and if I am to advise him I will ask him to step up his game on the crusade against corrupt government officials, then every other things will fall in his favour! If another Presidential election is to be conducted today, he will still slam any 'clown' APC is projecting

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]He has proved to be an unintelligent liar and inefficient spin-doctor. A confused cretin who abandoned his medical profession for Azz-licking.

And you my friend are trying hard to earn a position you obviously covet as silly9gerian's Side-kick..

SMH for both of you...

[/quote]Garrison Commander, most times its better you stick to what you are good at 'smoke some garri' you are just following the 'confused multitudes' here to spew your many drivel here, I have challenged many dolts here to please just give me names of past leaders (dead or alive) who has achieved this much as Jonathan within 2 and half years....I am waiting

...and these are the same ghost workers Shagari, Obasanjo, Yar'Adua administrations couldn't see? and the most vilified President on earth, President Ebele Goodluck Jonathan can see them and not only that he is saving into the government's coffers a huge sum of N100 billion ride on your excellency even if those who can see still cannot see that you are working, I, tomakint, can see you working sir, ride on!

Confusion break bone oooo yepa

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Kai!!

See the way dem don finish silly9gerian for this thread oooo



Failed as a Medical Doctor...

Failing also as a PDP propagandist...

What a Disgrace!!!

[/quote]You are dead wrong! They (Jonathan's accusers on Nairaland) are just being unnecessarily emotional, sincerenigerian has proved himself here time and again

shineureyes: He's sum1 who hasn't sold his conscience like u fools

Really? Maybe you know something we (those of us who believe in Jonathan) don't know....can you please spell them out, I want to learn from you

gboss4sure: APC is just a joke. Nothing Good will come out of them. Just like PDP they want to be in charge of the looting.

Fixed!! Unfortunately, naive and too emotional-minded Nairalanders and Nigerian see them as their Messiahs and perhaps a better option forgetting that APC is still being peopled by the same set of recycled corrupt-minded politicians. Indeed, a known devil is better than an unknown angel. My trouble now is, when would Nigerians ever learn?

earthgreeners: You mean ur silly Boss.....
Are you a new recruit?...
Lapdog Number?

don't even why you Tinubu dogs are so pugnacious, always in the habits of name-calling, insults, and other malicious antics sorry Son, you are not within my radar

earthgreeners: The more you post, the more stupid u sound

Hey Nairaland wannabe, it seems you are trying to attract unnecessary attentions to yourself, that guy has been making sense since he joined Nairaland, who the hell are you?

Dede1: The bolded statements in the above post are display of inordinate trolling. This is self-aggrandizement to the hip. By the way, I must say the ninny is correct given the fact that he\she has not meet anybody better than him\her in the same azz-hole serving as domicile.

Dede1, that was extremely funny, men I had to laugh

Arrival of the African Champions Good job guys and especially to the Big Boss himself, Stephen Keshi

Sincere 9gerian: Do-or-die, rofo-rofo and amala politics have already started in ACN controlled Lagos state. Those who have not seen improved power supply should transfer their aggression appropriately.

The more reason I predicted the fall of APC before 2015 Presidential Elections (mark my words), there are still going to emerge some roforofo fights although still in the cooler now, you just watch out

I can assure you the steam APC is trying hard to gather now, would become lukewarm before the next Presidential elections, they are all bunch of clowns - the same naa niii!!!

Dividends of democracy at play, a big well done to His Excellency, President Goodluck Jonathan

wesley80: Mumu dont politicize this, the glass house has always been a ruthlessly corrupt and incompetent congregation of people right from the days of John the Baptist and successive govt's have been unable to interfere due to FIFA restrictions.
As for the rest of you turning this into an Igbo vs the world issue, Keshi mentioned his reason for leaving and it had absolutely nothing to do with any form of pressure over the ethnic composition of his team. Maybe you guys need to learn to draw a distinction between reality and creations of your schizophrenic minds. Stop making "Igbo" an issue you pathetic imps.

You couldn't have said it better, you got it perfectly right! Young minds need to be liberated from their biased views here, you are doing a good job there, welldone

Rubbish, Professor Achebe has said his piece, he has my respect any time, any day

While you are keeping yourselves busy, stay connected to friends on the latest news regarding jobs and also be more connected to your God, HE will surely visit you before this year ends

Very funny........ if dem like make dem do pass meeting, sharing, slapping, chair-throwing and the likes my JONATHAN will still flog this VOLTRON! O ti sure ju! By the way, make I go play with my dog; a-one, a-two.....

...and this is a religion of peace, can someone (a true Muslim in the house) convince me on why Boko Haram is different from what Al-Qaeda is propagating?

I love this!!!

koastar: Those curves may not be real. Have you not heard or seen bum enhancement panties? She may be putting on one

I know the real curves, when I spot one Trust me, she got the real stuff!

I think the cup is passing over to an Asian this time around!

rokiatu: Do you called the women folks in your family "bitcccch" also?

no mind am jare....oh by the way, you got real curves oh lala!!!

juman: Considering the performance of president Jonathan so far, he cannot crush even a butterfly talkless of any candidate.
