berem: Till the day i see 18hours uninterrupted electricity in my house,i refuse to believe anything.

Trust me babygurl, stable power supply will soon be a thing of the past in this country in this year(mark my words)! You can see the figures and the consortium of companies given the jobs clearly stated! Tell me how many of our past governments are this transparent in the Power Sector!

So what happens if power fails to return to your North Prof Ango If Nigeria will still be one come 2015 and beyond, the 'Core North' can wait till 2027! What an irritating comment from a confused mind, as if they know what to do with power if given the chance!

sultaan: Please enlighten me, what am I missing

Missing? Well you are missing a lot of FACTS BEHIND THE FIGURES when it comes to assessing Obasanjo's government! Indeed, you are IGNORANT

Obasanjo left such and such behind is what we hear around! But we would like to know how much was WASTED by Obasanjo's government! Even Abacha despite his human rights violations he still managed the economy better than Obj! They should leave Jonathan alone to work

Light in Ilorin has been very impressive (16 - 19 hours daily) however when I am in Abuja (Karu) the light condition is better unlike what I used to witness in 2009!
Bottom Line: There is improvement in the power sector no doubt

For real it ain't a tall dream, this is POSSIBLE within the stipulated time in the Aba I know! Aba is heavily commercialized and well exposed when it comes to small to medium scale businesses. This is a cheering news for Nigeria and especially my Igbo brothers and sisters

brainy c: ywhy do yoruba people hate jonathan wit passion?

It's not a question of the Yorubas hating him, it's a matter of the naive and political neophytes ones amidst us hating on him for no justifiable reasons and they are all across every tribe!

[quote author=walex_biz]GENERAL MUHAMMAD BUHARI[size=8pt][/size]14[/quote]Is that your FINAL ANSWER?

I remembered having this thread sometimes ago, but I am just being curious to know the minds of people here; I am not trying to insult the intelligence of our ladies trust me you are well beloved any confirmation on these points below?


• SYMBOL: WOE


• FORMULA: W² (OE) ³


• PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: BOILS AT NOTHING AND FREEZES IN A SECOND. VERY BITTER IF NOT WELL USED.


• CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: POSSESSES GREAT AFFINITY FOR PRECIOUS METALS LIKE GOLD, SILVER, DIAMOND AND PLATINUM. TURNS GREEN WHEN PLACED BESIDES A BETTER LOOKING SPECIMEN.


• OCCURRENCE: FOUND WHEREVER “MAN” EXISTS BUT MOST COMMON WHERE “MONEY” IS.


• USES: HIGHLY ORNAMENTAL AND USEFUL IN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH, THE MOST EFFICIENT INCOME-REDUCING AGENT EVER DISCOVERED.


• CAUTION: HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE IN INEXPERIENCED HANDS, SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE.


• EXTRACTION: BY DISPLAYING SOME FORM OF WEALTH EITHER IN MONEY, PHYSICAL OR MOBILITY FORM.

Indeed, he was and still is, however being an Aboki remains his undoing! They have this life in them that gives room for 'ganging up' against the rest of us! If he emerges as President for instance, the Emirs, retired northern Generals, top politicians and business men of northern extract will rally round him and with enough pressure we are back in our "Servitude Part II" the more reason we don't need any Aboki for now

berem: lie lie president. I guess he was stuttering when he was blowing the hot lies. No thanks to agbaya sorry agbati and errm... okugbe sorry okupe.

[quote author=Ìyániwúrà123]I just checked it out now and it really makes a lot of sense! We can collaborate you know! [/quote]For real, I am yours, my door is always opened for a future collaboration!

Demdem: what club? will be the happiest man on earth if he shames me afterall it will be for the good of the nation. However, so far am having the last laugh

Laugh? Please don't even start, for d fact that you guys called him all sorts of unprintable names will not also change the facts that he is working and as 4 d destructive criticisms they are welcomed! But, if u think Jonathan will fix the rot of over 30 years in a flash, I think u need to think again

SlyIg: You're actually one of the few persons i respect so much on this forum. I don't want to hold a long arguement with you. Just be patient and remain calm. If the past govt had tried like this man, Nigeria would've been in a better shape now. Just give him some time. He is working, just that critics have completely ruin him.

Forget it, Demdem is now a virulent critic of Jonathan hence, he has joined the 'club' I know Jonathan will shame his enemies soon!

Good job Iyaniwura, I remembered opening something related to that but on a wider scope on this page; https://www.nairaland.com/1118720/catalogues-history-makers-nigeria keep it up

Libra38: (1) Suspended the funding of Bagana/Guto bridge project - The project was innitiated by OBJ and continue with Yaradu'a
(2) Suspended the dredging of Lokoja river - The project embarked upon by Yaradua's administration
(3) Establishment of a glorified secondary school called Federal University Lokoja - Anticipated to take off around September 2011, but yet to fully take off.

My friend let me pick on your second point and explain some things to you from an environmental point of view, there is what we called Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) it's an initiative that considers the impacts (both positive and negative) of any projects that will directly or indirectly affects the environment so as to forestall future environmental degradation to the community, hence EIA is a prerequisite to be fully considered before such projects are embarked upon regarding the dredging of the Lokoja Obj circumvent the basic rules attached to the EIA and hurriedly approved the dredging which so many environmental bodies were against, thank God for the voices against that move if not the whole of Lokoja would have been submerged as a result of the recent flooding that affected Kogi State,because houses at the coastal areas of the Lokoja River would have been badly affected and the colossal waste would have impacted negatively on the economy by now thank God Jonathan reneged on that decision because he listened to those who know better than him!

cjfavour: Get this straight bro. I'm nt against u questioning GEJ for anything.He's a golden fish dt has no hidding place. To me if he can't take d heat,he shld get out of d kitchen. My point is dt the evil man OBJ implemented 8 budgets bt didnt do anything about it,why are we too quick to crucify GEJ who have implemented 3 budgets?8 and 3 which one is greater? Question him bt lets nt forget dt smone spent 8 yrs and even tried to get more 4 bt didnt do anything there.

..and just to back up your points, I have always maintained that Obasanjo has no moral stand to advise Goodluck Jonathan on how to tackle corruption or stem the tide of terrorism because when he was given the chance to rule by Providence he did worst and even committed genocidal crimes against humanity in Zaka Biam and Odi respectively. The rate of corruption during Obasanjo’s time was at an alarming rate, he was the de facto petroleum minister throughout his autocratic eight years, he even intentionally frustrated Okonjo-Iweala, then Minister of Finance from office so as to satisfy his cronies. The rule of law was trampled under feet and the spate of bloodshed was unabated. He (Obj) pretended to be fighting corruption but we knew better when he left office, such was the chameleonic nature of the Obj’s eight-year tenure.

Mad Cow: Look at this scrotum calling somebody a person!!


So the Guy listed his opinion, and all you could come back with was that foolish line.

You are a perfect case study for why Abortion should be legalized in Nigeria..

Seconded but you forgot to add that he is a "Certified Dolt"

miiraaj: These points you raised won't make sense to disillusioned minds who make their comments from beer parlours.

...and for your mind now your guy has raised some 'VALID POINTS', I dey laff oooo

J12: You go wait tire. Criticising and insulting GEJ is now a hobby

My sister I tire o! No wonder most of our youths are 'educated and incorrigible illiterates' always in the habits of arguing blindly just for the fun of it!

nkem Kalu: We prefer Buhari...FULL STOP

...and what do you think your Buhari will do in a PDP-Controlled House? In an economy ravished by north-infested ghost workers? Fix with 70% of our budgets catering for redundant political appointees and perm secs? In case u av 4gotten, what took obj and Yar'Adua years struggling to fix, Jonathan got a pass mark there (electoral reforms) consider Agriculture too not even Obj a self-acclaimed farmer, did something worthwhile hmnnn

@ Truckpusher, may you LIVE long to see the NIGERIA of your dreams, I can assure you that as hopeless as some goons cases are here on NL, if they are unemployed, no wives, can't travel out, eat three square meals, their wives not pregnant, couldn't get admissions into higher institutions, their wives or husbands divorcing them the reason must definitely be JONATHAN! So much for hapless citizens of this country who cannot connect the dots of times

nkem Kalu: YOU ARE JUST ONE OF THE BIGGEST FOOLS NIGERIA HAS EVER PRODUCED OR U MUST BE A PAID ADVOCATE OF JONATHAN. SIMPLE OR U HAVE EYES BUT U CANNOT SEE.

Thanks 4 d compliments the 'seer' can we now hear from u what ur many 'past leaders' have done that can measure up to what Jonathan has done within his 2yrs in power especially in d area of women and youth empowerment, power supply, foreign direct investments, educational funding, poverty alleviation initiatives, etc

vivian chinaza: me wey don sweep floor since dey wait. If bed no ready, we go do am for floor, no time.

Badt girl kinda like ur sense of humour and bluntness

taharqa: Yea!! Can see how he is a 'failure' in Agriculture. This Businessday article proves this 'failure' convincingly: :Dhttp://www.nairaland.com/1171691/impressive-ongoing-agricultural-revolution-spearheaded

T, no matter how the 'facts' are staring at the faces of these 'clowns' they have been bought over already, its a pity most of them don't even know what they really want but would rather aimlessly join the 'bandwagon of Jonathan must go' for no justifiable reason

taharqa: If you expect any of these Clowns to tk this your DARE, then you are unfortunately wasting yr time...

Abeg T, I am tired of goons masquerading as intellectuals on this forum especially when Jonathan's case comes up for debate! Trust me if an Angel from God emerges as the President, Nigerians will still complain I wonder what is wrong with our youths and whether they like him or not he will b there till 2019 to finish his good jobs

Common guys (Jonathan haters)let's face it, what would now happen if Jonathan emerges as the President come 2015? I am just asking don't take it personal

ifihearam: My brother most friendly is an understatement.

perhaps freest no doubt

ifihearam: My brother in terms of unemployment,the ggovernment does not provide employment basically for her citizens,its the job of the private sector via favourable policies from the government and that this government has done.

..and you forgot to add that this is by far the most friendly administration towards the private sector, no matter what haters must hate
