Epaul:
with particular reference to the embolden; if God is not a God of confusion and the church is rifed with clannish denominations with divergent, conflicting doctrines which are sometimes skewed. Isn't it then safe to conclude that God is not the God of the church since a God who's no confusionist can not head a church inherently ladden with confusion?

Hmmm.. how will God give different revelations to his self acclaimed servants? That is d simple question!!

Tallesty1:
The are the ones that Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness etc, point is, you know them by their fruit not prophecy.

Man, stop being deluded on religion.. it is a biggest scam.. Do you know how many people have died in the hands of Boko haram from January 2014 to March 2015? And you have the guts to say Boko haram has reduced right? Maybe the armies of Waring nations should down their tools and embrace prayers at points of warfare.. Pastor and bishops tried to make predictions based on antecedents and past trends then call it prophecy and you just jump at it and claim he is god sent.. Religion os the opium of the masses. I can bet folks like you voted based on religious sentiments, that's if you even voted.

Hate it or love it, God has no religion!!!

Tallesty1:
Is the story of boko-haram still thesame?


I don't give a crap about your friend and I am not denying the fact that there are some fake men of God, all I am saying is, the righteous have been prayed for a peaceful election and Jonathan's loss could be an answered prayer.

That's my point.

So who are these righteous men of God? If 11 highly placed Nigerian pastors said God showed them that 2015 will be like june 12 yet nothing never happend, means followers are simply deluded.. Maybe d God that created the Christians is different frm the one that created the Muslims and Buddhist n the likes of others.. Man, God has no religion.. he isn't that small to be confined in some spot and have mere mortals speak fir him. Religion is hoax.. they study trends, then make predictions and called them prophecies for their gullible followers like you..

obiak4:
oboy don't touch it file
mfm church oboy men of jah de ooo dat d only pastor i can vouch for

Na so.. men u vouch for.. can de God de claim de speak for vouch for dem? How come their prophecies failed? Or where they mere predictions? Or they changed God's mind?

TheMascot:
Pls when can the "touch not my anointed nd do my prophet no harm" rule be over looked....some so called men of God deserve general beating

And ppl are still so gullible..

Tallesty1:
Fake or real is not my business.






But I think they told their members, and even APC to pray so the problem could be averted.

Haven't you heard that prayer of the faithful availeth much? Or do you think nigerians didn't pray?

And how long have they prayed? They prayed against Boko haram saying that god said it was ending January 2014, but it's tarried past that time. Please stop these bandwagon of deluded and brainwashed humans who clclaim to hear from God and speak for God. Last Sunday, my friend said his pastor ordered they praise God for 30minutes that God requested for it and afterwards he prophesied that GEJ will win.. Crap!! That's why we are Africans!! Always depending on the supernatural god that has failed us for years, yet the europeans that live and dwell in the natural are miles ahead of us..

Prixus:
there's only one reasonable conclusion. these men are fake. first God can never minister different outcomes to different men. he is not a God of confusion. the members can decide to stay if they like because these men of God will still find ways of explaining away the lies. especially by claiming that they were able to change God's mind by praying...I still want a comprehensive list of these men and their prophecies.

Fact!! Very true.. Fake men of God..

obiak4:
False prophet everywhere bro i just don't wanna serve a man of jah that cannot for once say the truth now men of gods are diplomatic instead of saying d truth like mbaka

Hmmmm.. me think that there are no men of Jah o.. all na hogwash!!

Alot of prophecies that GEJ will win, and there will be civil unrest were recorded prior to the election. For some, it's exactly one week from the time this prophecies were declared and while for others it's been a while from that instance till now. These bandwagon of self acclaimed 'men of God' , claimed that they are all speaking for one God and they further went on to share their account to their member and the world at large of what was revealed to them from the supernatural. Now that their prophecies have failed, how should members who get to fellowship with these 'men of God' have to deal with this prophecies gone wrong? Could it be that God chose to act differently from what he revealed to them? And why would God really have to that? Or could it be that these highly placed pastors are fake men of god? Or could it be that this God concept is a hoax? Should members still carry on with their fellowship and listen to their teachings? How can it be proved that their teachings and claims of 'God said' & 'God sent me to tell you' gist are true?

Can corruption fight corruption?

obiZEAL:
yea....u'll do better fighting the corruption from otueke....u know that place is closer to the oil hub compared to Aso rock.

in his dreams..

BossTtdiamonds:
This guy really sees us as f00ls... WTF??

Lool.. He really does!!

He is even putting poverty at 33.1% and not over 70%. This president is a joker...

After 5years, he is still campaigning with the premise "I will". Shameful!!!

A president who is yet to make his asset declaration public wants us to believe he has the will to fight corruption? Another 4years with him will be a recipe for disaster.

During the debate, he was quizzed about corruption and how he will fight it, he gave a sick analogy that capital punishment on armed robbers hasn't stopped robbery so it won't stop corrupt public office holders from looting FG wether or not the law existed. But I wish I could ask him that, if there was no capital punishment law for robbers, doesn't he think there wouldn't have been more robbers who will rob n kill for fun? The existence of the law will detest people from towing that path, and only dare devils will go on to test the wrath of the law.

Look at China, compare drug smuggling then n now, and tell me if there hasn't been an improvement. Only dare devils will want to test it, and when they are caught, they are executed,and that is enough to have a potential smuggler rethink about wether or not to venture on that path of dishonest, and risky earnings.

President Goodluck Jonathan has promised to eradicate corruption in the nation’s oil sector in the next four years if re-elected during Saturday’s Presidential election.

Jonathan made the promise in Lagos Sunday evening at a youth event, tagged, “An unimaginable feat in sports”. The event was meant to showcase his administration’s achievements in the sports sector.

The event which ended in the early hours of Monday attracted sports men and women, young professionals as well as beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s scholarship schemes, among others.

While answering questions from one of the participants during an interactive session at the event, the President promised to end the stigmatisation of Nigerians in the international community because of corruption.

He said his administration had succeeded in using technology to tackle corruption in many areas, such as fertilizer distribution, procurement and salary payment, among others, and will do the same in the oil industry.

He said, “We are going into the oil sector. People talk about the oil industry because that is an industry with a lot of people and a lot of money is involved.

“But I promise you that in the next four years, we will sanitise the oil sector.”

Jonathan regretted that the issue of corruption is being over-celebrated in a manner that makes it looks as if the whole of the country is corrupt.

He said all Nigerians must work together to ensure that the stigmatisation of Nigerians is cleared.

The President also promised to work with the young people because of his conviction that parents who do not encourage young ones are preparing their families for extinction.

Specifically, he promised that he would give more youths under the age of 40 years more opportunities to serve as ministers and heads of government parastatals.

He said, “Before he left to go and participate in election as deputy governorship candidate in Jigawa State, Nurudeen (former Minister of State, Foreign Affairs) was a minister and he is below 40.

“Last week, we swore in the youngest female minister. She is also about 40 years old.

“Apart from cabinet positions for under 40s, we are also appointing young people as heads of parastatals.

“We want to continue to encourage those in youth-dominated sectors, such as business, sports and entertainment industries too.

“I can assure you that we shall not go below what are currently doing. I know you want more, vote for us and you will get it.”

Answering a question on poverty rate in the country, Jonathan put it at 33.1 percent, as against the over 60 percent that he said some people were brandishing.

He however added that the issue is not about the percentage but about the desire of his government to impact more on the lives of the people.

On the health sector, Jonathan highlighted the feats being achieved by some tertiary health institutions in the country in the areas of kidney transplant and heart surgeries.

He also mentioned the successes recorded in the fight against the Ebola Virus Disease, guinea worm as well as polio.

He promised to do more for the sector, if re-elected.

Jonathan also reiterated his promise to institute special funds to assist sports men and women, if re-elected.

Overall, he said better days were ahead for the country under his leadership.

That's a Nigerian Airforce helicopter that should have been deployed to the frontline in transporting military hardware inorder to assist the soldiers effectively combat Boko haram, but it's used to ferry the wife of a failed president, fuelled n maintained with taxpayers money.

Hi!! Sent you a mail..

South African doctors have confirmed that they performed the world’s first successful penis transplant, three months after conducting the ground-breaking operation.

The 21-year-old patient had his penis amputated three years ago after a botched circumcision at a traditional initiation ceremony.

In a nine-hour operation at the Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town on December 11 last year, he received his new penis from a deceased donor.

“We’ve proved that it can be done — we can give someone an organ that is just as good as the one that he had,” said Professor Frank Graewe, head of plastic reconstructive surgery at Stellenbosch University.

“It was a privilege to be part of this first successful penis transplant in the world.”

Doctors said the man, whose identity has not been disclosed, has made a full recovery since the operation and had regained all his urinary and reproductive functions.

In 2006, a Chinese man had a penis transplant but his doctors removed the organ after two weeks due to “a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife.”

alabijohn:
We need change in Nigeria, no more no less.

Yes we do!! We are heading to hell with this government in power.

So that means there wouldn't be any capital project in Nigeria? That money can't fund the cost of building the Niger bridge, neither can it fund construction of Lagos-Ibadan expressway. It's becoming clearer by the day that this government is a failure. A slash from N100bn to N11bn for Ministry of works is appalling, yet the president feeding budget is N4bn, and diezianni had spent N10bn on private jet charter. Not forgetting that the PDP generated about N21bn to fund it's 6weeks campaign. I still can't figure out why people are still to gullible to follow GEJ when they are tell signs that this guy can't do nothing. Do you know how much Saudi Arabia saved during the period of the oil boom? Yet we squandered our savings during the oil peak season and now expect miracles to happen. We are suffering now because of the corruption in GEJ led government. Ngozi Iweala lied to Nigerians that we won't feel the impact of the falling oil price, and that the Naira will bounce back, and that we have enough money in our reserve. Now where are we? With the impending job cuts looming in all sector of the economy, the job market will be full to the brim. The FG can't even pay salaries to it's workers any longer. GEJ had a golden platform to cement his name in the good books of Nigeria history, because the revenue inflow he had from oil sales was so massive, but yet he chose to follow that wrong path of his predecessors, looting without remorse. He has to go!!! #March4Buhari!!!

The Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, said the ministry’s N100bn proposed budget for 2015 was slashed by the Ministry of Finance to N11bn, representing an 89 per cent slash.

Onolememen, who was in the Senate to defend his ministry’s estimates for the fiscal year, added that no sum was approved for the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency’s capital projects and the Office of the Surveyor -General of the Federation.

He said the Finance ministry predicated its action on the economic realities on the ground.

The minister expressed concern that only 33 out of the 210 ongoing road projects had been provided for in view of the “lean allocation” to the ministry.

He also said the provision was not sufficient to encourage contractors to sustain appreciable progress on their work sites.

Onolememen added, “No provisions have been made for other departments of the ministry such as Road and Bridge Design Department, Mechanical and Electrical Department and the Service Department.”

The minister also disclosed that since 2011, the ministry had always been owed outstanding budgeted funds.

He said, “Only N45, 682, 844, 395.00bn was released for the works ministry out of 2014 capital appropriation of N98, 814, 368, 704bn . This leaves a balance of N53, 131, 524, 309.00 not released as of December 2014.

“It is important to emphasise that the performance of the ministry would have been considerably enhanced if the outstanding budgeted funds of N53.131bn had been released to the ministry.

“More importantly, if the cumulative outstanding budgeted funds of N203, 392, 075, 947.25 for the period spanning 2011 to 2014 had been released, the total indebtedness would have been brought down from N230bn to N27bn”

He however said that due to the lean capital budget, a model of Public Private Partnership was being explored to ensure that more capital projects were carried out this year.

Most members of the Senate Committee on Works described the budget of the ministry as laughable .

The Chairman of the committee, Ayogu Eze, said the budget was very terrible for a sector that needs at least N500bn annually for road construction and maintenance.

“To now be given just N11bn, means the ministry would need a magician to perform wonders.

“The picture being painted by this budget profile is very grim. We are in a period of crisis which we must all manage very critically.”

ojaydedon:
was there 247 light without interruption when other leaders were leading from independence till date? Even wen buhari was president was there constant light

So if there was no light, it means we should rather continue to stay in darkness than aim for the best. 2wrongs never make a right. I must say, there was better power supply during Obasanjo regime than this regime. The president cannot choose to evade criticisms and avoid blames when he fails, and then only wants to be celebrated over success. For a president to still have an Abba Moro serving in his cabinet speaks a lot of about his government. For GEJ to have nominated Obanikoro to become a minister should sent shock waves across the minds of Nigerians, and they should be asking questions, if this man really means us well. Obanikoro indicted the president on the #Ekitigate saga, but the president denied that the recordings were false amidst testimonies from the participants (Omisore, Obanikoro, Fayose, et al) that they were there. No democratically elected government Nigeria has ever used the military to rig an election, but GEJ has broken that record and has soiled the name of the Nigerian military.

For GEJ to appoint Fani Kayode as his campaign director, a man who is standing trial for corruption should quicken our minds to the kind of leadership we have at the top.

Why are our refineries not fixed? Why was Ajaokuta steel not fixed? Why is power getting from nad to worse? Why was the 2nd Niger bridge not built in his 6yrs stay, with all the high revenue the country had ever recorded from crude produce? Why is our foreign reserve account so low? Why would the president say stealing is not corruption, and even try to defend such a stupid comment in another media chat? Why is diesel and kerosene still so expensive, despite the fall in oil prices? Why is corruption in government left so unabated? Why couldn't Okonjo Iweala defend the statement made by Soludo that N30tn is missing under this administration? Why hasn't the chibok girls been rescued, despite the fact that the president denied that they were even missing? Why has GEJ feeding money increased from 1Nbn to N4bn, where government should be cutting down it's cost of governance? Why has Diezianni Madueke never been tried for misappropriating N10bn to herself for private jet charter on personal trips, or do they think Nigerians are fools? Where are the 200buses we were promised from the SURE-P funds? GEJ has fail!!

menesheh:
Any sane Nigerian should know this, Buhari may be nice and disciplined but the ppl within him will make him achieve nothing if elected cus he can't do the work all alone

Same happen to GEJ, he thought if he enter there, Nigeria will be second to china in a twinkle of an eye but he is coming to reality now and thankfully now, he started saying no to those forces which is/was why they are Mobilizing against him

No, but GEJ was never nice and disciplined. Infact before his ascension to the no.1 seat, he had an allegation of looting bayelsa state government funds. Look at the cabals surrounding GEJ and look at the cabals surrounding GMB, you will know that PDP are full grown Devils while APC are mere demons.

SHOPPERS:
Shut up!

You couldn't disprove any of the facts.

tomber:
I hope this is not true. We need more and more cooperation. In fact, we need "a united voice" that the best of weapons. If Nigeria fails today, France can't save Niger, Chad or Cameroon, they'll all fail too.

The U.S military trained Iraqi Army, sold and gave to them the best of weapons. Guess what happened when ISIS came? They almost took over the country in a few weeks. The US Army had to come in, along side their friends, with the best of fighter jets to help dislodge ISIS. Guess what? After all the billions spent and the thousands of air strikes against ISIS, they are yet to be dislodged.
The US and it allies spent over a trillion dollar in Afghan but couldn't win the Taliban.

Let's give NA a chance. We can't keep insulting then and hope they'll wanna die for us. We should know that salary and allowances are not enough motivation for soldiers in a real war but patriotism. This is not peace keeping, neither is it really a conventional war. Let not worsen their state of their morals with our posts, the service chiefs included. Niger and co should stop joining the west to score cheap points out of our predicament.

In the past, northern leaders especially-and Buhari inclusive- were directly or indirectly motivating those boys, and to the contrary demoralizing the NA. Some others that could help didn't help, cos of political interests; while some were for religious reasons, sympathetic to the course of boko. Now things have gone out of hand and we're facing the consequences. Everyone of us, including the Northern leaders,and ppl those that were sabotaging or sympathizing,Jona, past presidents, media, service chiefs etc one way or the other, will facing the consequences of our actions and inactions and will still face till God knows when. Let's work together to cut the days and consequences short.

And lastly, for Buhari(or whosoever) to try to simplify the causes for the dragging of this war against BH to Jona and corruption, is to either be totally oblivious of reality or to simply be mischievous. And I'm still wondering why no one has asked him what he meant by fighting Boko haram is fight the north; why no one has asked him if he'll treat them like Niger Delta militants were treated i.e by giving Amnesty as he went about admonishing Jona months back.

Senseless comment. If Buhari is a Boko haram sponsor and apologist as you alleged and hasn't been picked up for interrogation yet, it clearly states that you leader is indept and clueless. If you are a terrorist in the US or has alleged links to a dreaded terror group, they will pick you up for questioning and then closely monitor you. Late General Azazi said, PDP are Boko haram and guess what happend after, he died in a suspicious chopper ride on his return from Oronto Douglas father's burial. Look the earlier you stop pointing fingers of a failed government to individuals, the better. The military has been highly politicized and compromised all because of bad leadership. A fish starts to rots from the head and not from the tail. If someone comes to your house and tries to burgle it infront of you what will you do? Will you start searching for who sent them? Or will you be asking them what they came for? Or will you be standing and watching them fully tear down your doors apart? And when they are done burgling, you will stat saying they were sent by your neigbhours, enemies, witches and wizards and all? You will rise up to defend your house. If you stand and watch them burgle and succed, then I'd say you maybe irresponsible and don't care much about the house, properties in it or the occupants in it, and that is irresponsibility!!! Stop the ethnic bigotry!! A lot of little countries have taken swipes on us, even Robert Mugabe, ANC youth leader in South africa, took a swipe on us. The corruption in the military has been left so unabated and it's eating so deep into our mindset. Two wrongs never make a right!!you can't just stat saying, corruption didn't start from this government that's why we are facing it, or Terrorism is a global thing, and Nigeria is facing it too. Those are irrresponsible comments I have oveeheead the president say on countless occasions!!

Translation; the lips of a lying biatch never bleeds but moves at lightenin speed....

Lool. I de find pro-Gej activist to come to his defense

Dear President Goodluck Jonathan: It was with rude
shock and utter disbelief that I received the news
that you had the legally required 25 percent in 28
states plus Federal Capital Territory in the
presidential election of April 16, 2011. According to the
1999 constitution, a winner needs the majority of votes and
at least 25 percent of votes in 24 states of the 36 states of
the federation.
According to Chairman of the Independent Electoral
Commission, you won 25 percent of votes in 28 states,
leaving your closest rival, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the
Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) with victories in
only 12 states. As expected, you and your cronies
celebrated and popped the proverbial champagne.
Recall sir, that in a widely circulated piece before your swearing in on May 29th 2011 and as one of your worst, albeit gracious, critics, I had issued a note of caution.

Allow me to explain that the presidential victory of April
16th, 2011 was a victory for yourself and not necessarily for the PDP, of which you are a part and parcel. Sadly too, many of those who trusted and blindly voted for you have now regretted that decision cursing the day they thumb- printed their finger against your name. This should reveal without any equivocation that the elections were not driven
by issues, but sentiments about personalities, religion and ethnicity – which you irreproachably milked to your
ultimate advantage. It is my opinion that as a nation we
should grow our democracy to achieve a situation whereby persons win elections on the basis of merit and actual performance not sentiments, and certainly not with the aid of financial inducements, blackmail and violence – tenets which have roundly deepened since your accession to power.
I will not bore you with all the expectations Nigerians (the ones who voted for you, anyway) - I believe you know all of these and intend to meet all of them.
As you commemorate three years of unhindered presidency and two years since your last election, intend to remind you of all the myriad of promises you made during your political campaigns as you traversed the nooks and crannies of Nigeria circa 2011. I cannot ever allow my extremely busy president, one who has been overwhelmed by his own transformative agenda the laborious task of a long comprehension. In essence, of my own generosity, I have listed only some of them for you below.
1. You promised to rule for only one term (reference http:// ow.ly/4KScO). Not that it mattered, as you’re not legally barred from seeking reelection. This reminder is only so a test of your mettle of honour as I see your lackey, Mr Asari Mujahid, making unsolicited pronouncements that have heated the polity.
Mr President, as a man of your words or rather as you want to make us believe (http://ow.ly/4KSda), PLEASE stick to this plan and pledge. I sincerely hope also, you will not come out and openly deny you didn’t make such promise or statements as you did about the zoning saga. Anyway, I
have provided links above and you may instruct your Israeli
friends to pull these links offline.

2. You promised a constitutional role for Traditional
Rulers!!! (http://ow.ly/4KSfI) I am short of words but
Nigerians are waiting. But I assure you sir, with a few
financial reports in the pockets of the traditional rulers, this
is not a major promise to uphold, as like you, Nigerians
may not give a ‘damn’ anyway.

3. On March 17th 2011, in Dutse the Jigawa state capital,
you promised: “If I win the election, within my four years in
office, I will establish domestic airports in all the states
without airports,” (http://ow.ly/4KSgt).

4. In Nasarawa, at the flag-off of your campaign you
promised at least a university in every state (http://
ow.ly/4KShX) including building specialist almajiri schools
to shore up education in the North so as to eradicate
illiteracy (http://ow.ly/4KSiK). It seems you have started
on this one but a good number of the Almajiris are waiting!

5. On February 8th in Ibadan, the day you called some
people "rascals", you promised to create jobs and improve
the power sector (http://ow.ly/4KSlU). The Oyo people and
indeed all Nigerians were all left in darkness last weekend!

6. On Feb 9th, you were in Bauchi and you promised to
intensify oil and gas exploration in the North-East as part of
efforts to harness resources for economic development.
Also you pledged to boost agriculture, power and water
supply for wealth creation and revenue generation. Then
you assured that projects such as the Mambilla hydro-
electricity, Jada irrigation project and Kafin Zaki dam in
Taraba, Adamawa and Bauchi would be pursued to boost
agriculture and industrial development (http://
ow.ly/4KSnF). Then you promised that your administration
would establish two universities in the region. The NORTH
EAST PEOPLE ARE STILL WAITING.

7. You landed in Port Harcourt on Feb 12 where you made a
lot of promises, maybe to woo your Niger Delta people. Be
that as it may, you announced that the NNPC, in partnership
with the private sector, would establish a petrochemical
plant in the Niger Delta (you didn’t state where exactly).
You promised the plant would create job opportunities for
Niger Delta youth. Then you went ahead to promise the
implementation of Local Content Law and Petroleum
Industry Bill (http://ow.ly/4KSpu). In case you can’t
remember when you made all these, cast your mind back to
the stampede that claimed some lives (where your wife
called them martyrs!).

8. In Kaduna, you promised massive transformation of the
agricultural sector through construction of large dams and
distribution of one million metric tons of fertilizers for the
2011 farming season (http://ow.ly/4KSqE). The rains are
here again, so fulfill your promises o.

9. In Benue, you promised to revolutionize agriculture and
establish industries in the country through a five-year plan
(We need that Plan now so we can keep track. Of the five
years two years is already gone). You also promised to
complete the irrigation project in Otukpo (http://
ow.ly/4KSsh). Then you promised that the second Niger
Bridge and the Benue Bridge projects will be worked on in
the next four years (http://ow.ly/4KStl).

10. February 17th, you were in Plateau where you shocked
the entire country with amazing promises. First of all, you
pledged to refocus on the solid mineral development of the
state and make it one of the key revenue sources in Nigeria.
Two years hence, the Plateau people are still banking on
you. Mr President, You promised to build more dams and
complete ongoing ones, so as to boost agricultural growth.
In addition you promised to complete the Vom-Manchok-
Jos road to boost economic links between Plateau and
Kaduna states (http://ow.ly/4KSuz). You left the state and
the Plateau people have been happy ever since and now
that you have been president for two years, a progress
report on that promise is in order.

11. Mr President on Feb 21, you were in Kogi. You
promised among other things that the dredging of the River
Niger and Lokoja-Abuja road dualisation would be
completed very soon. (http://ow.ly/4KSvB) THE KOGI
PEOPLE AND INDEED NIGERIANS ARE HOPING AND
WAITING

12. In Kwara State on February 22, you pledged that the
irrigation project in Shonga would be completed soon to
boost the commercial farming activities of the New Nigeria
Farmers in the area (http://ow.ly/4KSwn). Mr president,
remember you also said the Jebba-Mokwa road and Jebba
bridge would be given adequate attention to ease
transportation in the area. Kwarans are await a report!

13. On February 24, Mr. President, you pledged to
rehabilitate all ailing industries in Aba (http://
ow.ly/4KSxd). I believe all Abians are hoping on you to
provide the enabling environment to do their businesses,
you must keep your promises.

14. Mr. President, on Feb 25th in Anambra you said there is
a plan to build a power station in the state, assuring that
within the next four years your administration would
construct and rehabilitate ALL federal roads leading to
Anambra as well as the South East. You equally promised
to provide potable water to the densely populated Onitsha
and Nnewi cities (http://ow.ly/4KSyf) and tackle erosion in
the South-East. To tell you the truth, Mr. President,
Anambrans banked on you!

15. In Ebonyi state, you promised to dualize the Enugu-
Abakaliki federal highway in addition (http://ow.ly/4KSza)
to establishing a secretariat for ALL Federal government's
agencies and parastatals in Ebonyi. Mr. President, the
people of Ebonyi have never had it so good since the
creation of their state. Now, you have promised them the
good life. Please keep to your words!

16. In Niger state, you promised more power generation.
Perhaps the most important aspect of your promises is that
your government would map out a five-year strategic plan
for road projects (http://ow.ly/4KSzL).

17. On Feb 27, you were in Asaba, the Delta state capital.
On that fateful Sunday, you revealed that “The NNPC is
developing a new programme that will absorb about 5,000
youths,” (http://ow.ly/4KSAO). Mr. President, Deltans were
delighted at that REVELATION. While that number is a far
cry from the number of unemployed youths in the state, at
all at all na winch (as we say in Warri), so Deltans are
waiting.
18. On March 2nd, you were in Ondo where you promised
that roads and other basic infrastructure across the states
will be developed in four years. In addition you also
promised the exploitation of the vast bitumen deposits in
the state for national economic development and
employment generation (http://ow.ly/4KSFj). The Ondo
people are waiting. Your Four years have started already.
You must start now.

19. On the same day, March 2nd, your campaign train was
in Ekiti state. While there, you promised that more than N50
billion federal intervention projects were ongoing in the
state (http://ow.ly/4KSGb). You can rest assured that
Fayemi and indeed the entire Ekiti kete are waiting for you.

20. On March 9th, in Sokoto, you promised to rehabilitate
the abandoned Shagari irrigation project as well as reviving
the nation's rail system and fight the menace of
desertification in the country. (http://ow.ly/4KSGX) Sokoto
people have suffered for too long. This is your time to
redeem your pledge, Mr President. The clock is ticking!!!

21. The date was March 12th 2011 and you were in Ogun
State, my home state. Remember, the day you rode to
Abeokuta through rail? Yes, that was the day you promised
an improved power supply before the end of the year
through the Integrated Power Project (IPP) initiative. You
also pledged to build more refineries, encourage
downstream activities, resuscitate rail transportation and
create jobs. In case you have forgotten, that was the day
that Gbenga Daniel your South West campaign coordinator
was booed by the Ogun people (http://ow.ly/4KSHM).

22. On March 14th, your campaign trained moved to Kebbi
where you promised to establish a federal university next
year (2012). You also promised to create jobs through
science and technology, tackle environmental challenges
and boost health care delivery. (http://ow.ly/4KSIX)

23. Katsina, was your port of call on March 15 where you
promised to enhance the living standard of Nigerians
through implementation of people-oriented programmes
that would provide citizens the necessary opportunities to
realize their potentials. In my opinion, this was just mere
rhetoric, as you did not make any concrete promise. Or did you have the premonition, you will lose in Katsina? Seems I was right.

24. In Kano, you pledged to resuscitate the nation’s power
sector and encourage the development of small and
medium scale enterprises in the country while ensuring
justice, equity and fair play in the polity (http://
ow.ly/4KSKJ).
Mr. President, space will not allow me to list the deluge of
promises in Lagos, Osun, Borno, Cross River, Akwa Ibom,
Enugu, Imo, Taraba, Jigawa, Edo, Bayelsa and Zamfara
states, and Abuja (http://ow.ly/4KSLf). If you can
accomplish all your promises in the next four years, then
you will go down memory lane as the best President ever.
Thanks to Yahoo, Gmail and Facebook (and now Twitter
and Google Plus), we can all save this message in our
Inbox/Wall/Timelines for the next four years and check out
how much you achieve on your promises.

Your fellow Nigerian,
