banki: continue to lie to yourselves so all of a sudden all the other administrations did not do anythying in Abuja? infact i saw on one of the pictures the new 10 story Churchgate towers a private project has now become part of what government has achieved,now all of a sudden you believe GEJ admisistration is better than all the other leaders combined i believe that is for people of nigeria to discuss....

Thye should go by road to the next state Kogi just beside abuja inspect the lokoja abuja express... tell us what they are doing about the flood, the road the fact that nigerians were trapped on the road for 2days please spare me this nonsence of this government performance because as far as I am conceredned they are only working on the pages of newspapers.... FCT tour my Foot we in Abuja know that Bala Mohammed has turned our clean Abuja to a big refuse dump, there are beggers on the streets, street hawking is now normal,mass transit is useless, and yet all he can boast about as achivement is turning Maitama to Goodluck Jonathan Boulevald and alllocating turais stolen wealth to patience....

EPOMA: [size=16pt]All these projects look like project that should undertaken by a local governmnt in Nigeria, with the amount of money spent in Nigeria , I would expect to see big project like in Barhain, dubia, lebanon in which Nigeria have money more than and spend money more than. A good government does not even need to have a media tour [/size]

Okoro2015: Poster...show some respect for our ailing first lady.
Personnaly i should be more concerned if Dame doesn't know her way around Igbo Language. Is English your Language?

dayokanu: One minute they are supporting Jonathan for 2015, Next minute they are clamouring for Igbo presidency, the next they want Biafra.

Seems like mental retardation and Short attention Span is ravaging Alayibo

1025: what is ur definition of a national party and how does that concern winning a free and fair election?
at the end of the day, nigerians will tell u they don't vote party rather the candidates. even if we have a good man from a village party, can't we vote him instead of these criminals from ur so-called national party.
i don't know ur involvement(s) in politics but i can authoritatively and convincingly discuss argue the fact that pdp is not even a political party. if you doubt that, i will be here to discuss that with u any day any time.

banki: so you think the 2011 election was free and fair....... well am sure you didnt see videos of a commisoner in rivers voting multiple times to help ensure a landslide victorey,

Am sure you dont know that the national treasury was emptied for he elections and the campaingns that was free and fair, thats why we have the subsidy probe......

free and fair indeed, JONATHAN CANNOT WIN A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION, let me ask you if you were given fashola or jonathan to pick from who would be your choice

samguru: i think ACN is evolving from the regional political status to national,therefore come 2015,ACN will really slug it out with PDP

Ola one: Obasanjo's an old fool, anyway.

Dollarman101: Abeg make we hear word from all these old politicians. Support today, condemn tomorrow! Wetin they want make GEJ do for them after one year? Transform NIGERDELTA to Dubai?
They are high on Ogogoro. Nigeria not Nigerdelta is Jonathan's constituency. They must understand this and stop whinning like kindergarten kids.

East west road that they mentioned had issues arising from the first award by Obj. Only last week, the FG announced the re award of that road under SURE P. if I were them, I would rather concentrate on monitoring the execution of that project as soon as possible. But they will prefer to hang around Aso Rock for pocket money.
The biggest beneficiary of PIB if passed will be the people of NIGERDELTA. We are the ones who will occupy the stipulated 25% stake in ownership of oil ompanies exploring oil in the region. We are the ones who will reap from the new legislations on gas flaring.
Jonathan strategically integrated our brothers and ex militants into safeguarding the waterways for oil exploration and shipment. This step has not only enriched some of our brothers but has increased oil production to a record of 2.7 million barrels per day for the overall interest of Nigeria.

Jonathan has started two federal universities in both Bayelsa and Delta state. The Nigetian law school has a opened a campus in Bayelsa. Kolo-Nembe-Brass is seriously under construction. The Benin-Ore road which was awarded and undergoing construction by this government will serve the people of Niger Delta. The power plants in Ughelli, calabar, IHOVBOR, Afam, and Sapele gas plants have all been refurbished under jonathan.

Are we not enjoying the improvement in power supply? Come to Uyo, we have light for an average of 18 hours per day. Make dem give jonathn chance abeg to continue his privatision

dedeike: El Rufai is not happy and understandably so. This a man who returned from exile and expected a heroic welcome and a political appointment from a man who shared his sympathy as Obj boys. But what he got in return was shocking- a criminal charge for the fraud he perpetrated in office as FCT minister.

There's no way he will love a government that could not compromise his trial on the altar of friendship. Today, he is jobless and unlike his contemporary Ribadu, the govt has not approached him to head at least a sub committee. It's frustrating hence the resort to twitter.

Initially when the twitter blackmail started, it yielded the desired results in demonising GEJ and added more followers to his account. It was fun .
However, the law of diminishing returns has set in. The lies, half truths and blackmail have reached it's highest point and now counter productive.

In the face of serious improvements in power supply nationwide, award of several federal road projects, rehabilitation of railways, remodeling and reconstruction of 11 major airports including a new award for construction of 11 new terminals with cargo terminals, establishment of new federal universities, Agricultural reforms, Energy reforms through formulation of New PIB, prosecution of subsidy oil thieves and implementation of the AIG reports on subsidy, power reforms and ongoing privatisation of PHCN; EL Rufai has run out of what to criticise.

He is now chasing shadows and mud raking. I do not begrudge him. That is the only straw left for him to cling on before he drowns in the murky waters of Nigerian politics.

Dollarman101: The removal of subsidy is long overdue. No economy can ever grow under this arrangement were a quarter of national budget is used to subsidize one product.
The subsidy thing encourages importation and kills local production. I undertstand the govt under Obj issued licenses for people to build private refineries but all of the beneficiaries abandoned it in favour of importation.
In a business sense, It's more profitable to import than to start building refineries which is capital intensive and can only yield returns at the long run. The best thing is to close subsidy so that real investors can come in to build refineries as it is the practice globally. Government should not have any business in the oil sector apart from regulatory role.
When subsidy goes, it will pave way for deregulation of the downstream sector. Let market forces and competition between the private refineries dictate pump price, not the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Those who are deceiving the masses with the gist that subsidy withdrawal is anti people will be shocked when their predictions of doom fail. Because when private refineries come on board, there won't be need for importation so prices will even fall far below the current rate. In addition, there will be massive employment opportunities for Nigerian youths in the private refineries.
