Jonathan's BVN introduction shows a man that was going to pin financial corruption in Nigeria. Today we all know that you are one customer of a bank and no longer different customer of different banks as far as CBN is concerned. Could there have been any fight against financial corruption that is greater in the history of Nigeria? The answer is No.

Jonathan was a man of the people. He was the vice president under Yaradua who introduced the experimental amnesty for Niger-Delta youth and it worked. May be thinking all militant group are fighting for a cause, he was trying that experiment again as man with the milk of human kindness but this time the experiment failed.

Jonathan remains the best selfless president of Nigeria.

A president who was never power drunk. He looked at all the powers at his disposal as a president and concluded that he cannot use up to 40% because to do so will be dictatorial even though it is a democratic provision. What a man he is. Imagine that call to Buhari,that faithful day.

God bless Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Posterity will be your best judge.

The writer must be insensitive to allege that 25k km was done by GEJ based on fabricated quotes. He should as a journalist be more investigative and list out the roads! If at all, none of the meagre successes of GEJ can justify the amount of theft and cluelessness of that govt. Please the writer should deal with that.
Using subsidy removal as an example, the argument now is different from those of 4 yrs ago. Now, it is glaring that with the fall in oil prices, removal of subsidy would not hurt the populace.
In the 2012 scenario, the argument was that removal would create money to fund infrastructure with the creation of SUREP. Please show us the infrastructure financed with the 50% removal (, subsidy was partly removed) other than private constructions by the subsidy thieves and their acolytes including Thisday journalists like the writer of the editorial. Don't also forget the manner of the removal; crude was selling at record high yet those that travelled to villages were left stranded as a result of sudden price changes.

in Akwa Ibom alone, a lot of Federal roads were built by the AKS Government which was later reimbursed by the Federal Government.

Anything under the sun can be alleged and doesn't make it true either. I strongly believe like the popular saying goes when you want to hide something from a black man just put it in a book. If this is your deduction after reading this post then it's either you are completely blinded by prejudices or you never read it or you find it very difficult to understand the write up.you must learn to separate facts from friction. APC is a party of contradiction and it beat me silly when they remain the source of authentic information for some Nigerians.

The following from APC:

1. Jonathan spent six years in power. Same APC in different fora he spent 5years.
2. Jonathan did nothing in office for five years. Same APC, lots of roads constructed and many in different stages of completion (Fashola). I never knew trains were working in Nigeria (Ameachi). so many ongoing projects in the transmission sector and some are almost completed while others are in varying degrees of completion (Fashola). I met empty treasury
3. Subsidy is a scam and fraud. Same APC now in govt, paying half a trillion in subsidy.
4. The presidential fleet is too large, we will sell off most of the aircraft and leave just two. Same APC, using the same numbers of aircraft with a higher maintenance cost.

I can go on and on but the point is this cross check whatever information you get and never spread such until you get the facts.

But where are the so-called 25,000 km of road?

Travelling through the country, the roads I saw were bad. Somebody please tell me where the good roads GEJ did are. I need names of just a few roads. Perhaps I'm guilty of blaming GEJ unjustly

Fashola is the minister of works, he made the statement, ask him he will tell you.

Also note that 'improvement' isn't anything special. Even adding just one road is an improvement. The OP claims Fashola described a revolution or massive transformation in roads. Provide a transcript of fashola's speech or a video link to back up your claims.

all the write up failed to list the factors that made me turn against GEJ #1- his failure to deal with BH until 2015 (thus allowing them grow and make more alliances)

#2- his failure to attract more FDI into Nigeria thus creating jobs & reducing unemployment

#3- his failure to assert leadership & rein in corruption and appropriately react and take action on the various embezzlement scandals that trailed his cabinet during their tenure

#4- his failure to address the decay in the educational sector with urgency and conviction

#5- his. introduction of NIMC national identity card which is a very dull idea(we lack the structure to run such an expensive farce )
.
#6- the lack of federal presence in Edo state

#7- the fact that we were yet to adequately diversify the economy

#8- the fact he FAILED. to control his wife's public rants ...

now as for Lagos trains I saw the construction going on @ mile 2 axis and train bridges around iganmu or so ... really ain't fam wit d name of d place . btw now and 2019. rail transport will be a viable mode of tp in lag. that's a fact

From your above quotes, it shows that you just hate Gej and you just don't want to be objective at all.
It us absurd not to give credit for Gej's attempt to remove subsidy. Nigeria would have been better for it. I know Gej has his fault as the Op has stated. His analysis is very clear and objective.
The writer knew what he is talking about. Fashola and Amaechi even agree that Gej did work. But people like you choose not to see it,

pheliciti:

You can believe what you want. I can't expect you to think beyond your cognitive capacity. But then, try these elementary exercises.
1. Was any federal road leading to your house or village worked on during the GEJ istration?
2. If the quote the writer ascribed to Fashola was true, don't you think it would have been reported by mainstream media inclusive of Thisday where the writer works for as editor? Why would he be looking for a rebuttal if he heard from the horse's mouth?
Think please.

You are a brilliant but mentally lazy Nigerian Youths that fail to your empty educational skills, with self development. If you know not the road projects of GEJ, how about the Lagos - Ibadan Express way, Benin Ore road, at least Obasanjo spent 8yrs a southern looking a the death trap, yet same OBJ gave Buhari Blue print to run his Government.

You claimed GEJ fail to bring FDI, my fellow Nigerian Youth what is our main problem,. His about the auto policy, is that not part of the FDI this alone among many others I will not honor you with listing. The auto policy was the best thing that had ever happen to this country, all major brand new auto you sight in Nigeria where all manufactured and not assemble, all are made in Nigeria.

Diversion of our economy, it's had never been recorded of any government, that made success toghat effect like GEJ, he had the best team that work out plan of the financial economic and developmental economic of the country, that was why Akinwumi Adeshina gave us best Agro business platform, Mobolaji made Nigeria Satellite bid and win foreign satellite management deals. So we are able to export our investment in satellite technology.

Reality is yet to set in for OP and columnist Shaka Momodu. I wish them happy new year and permanent change in their life. #GodBlessPMB #GodBlessNigeria

Maybe u should read again. He didn't claim anything as a writer, he is only quoting what your "saints" acclaimed. Words of Fashola and Ameachi. I thought you should know better but it's obvious you lack understanding of matters concerning fuel and fuel subsidy. Can you explain how subsidy removal would have caused poverty in 2012 and not cause poverty on the everyday Nigerian today?come to think of it, I thought someone said subsidy does not exist? The earlier you accept the truth, the better you will come out of your soon to be heart break.

For Fashola to have made these claim publicly, it must be more. Ask the Northerners who lives in their states about what GEJ did on roads, agriculture, power, etc, go to Benin Ore Road, East West Road, Lagos - Ibadan Exp (under construction). that there are state roads. if previous government has been doing this (including OBJ), by now 50% of federal roads will be motorable. Lagos - Abeokuta was an eyesore during OBJ. There was massive power project, Agriculture, etc
Security was a major challenge but the Govt. did her best. Why are chibok girls not back yet?
This present government is using the template of GEJ. Most of his policies are being adopted because they realised that it is in the best interest of the country. TSA, Subsidy removal (which they vehemently kicked against in 2012), etc. Let's wait and see if they will get it right. It is too early to say this government is fighting corruption. What is presently see is persecution, not prosecution.

Congratulations on the reconstruction of the road ing by your village. That means a previous istration constructed it originally, let's put that in context. Kudos to him for at least rehabilitating the road.
the story is that he moved the road network from 4,000km to 25,000km. Your road was already included in the 4000km. Let's avoid double counting sir.

Oga, read and understand first. It was said in the article, 4,000km of motorable roads, which was raised to 25,000km of motorable roads. There are many Fed roads out there but how many of them are motorable, without potholes and complete disengagement of the road network?

So are you now saying that the almighty APC ministerial "saints" are wrong?

nduchucks:
GEJ and his istration recorded some successes without a doubt but there is nothing outstanding there - they were simply doing their jobs and serving the masses as they were supposed to. I recall great progress in the Agric sector as well. Kudos to the said istration for these successes.

Having said that, the same istration does not deserve forgiveness for presiding over the greatest looting spree in the history of this great country. May Allahu punish every single one of those involved in the monumental looting. May they rot in prison, Ameen.

Before now, you lots never itted GEJ achieved any single thing at all... How come?

One can hardly deny the fact that GEJ is one of the best president nigeria would ever have. he was just been seen as a week president. and those he sorounded himself with are just not the best.

I dont subscribe to that logic. If the ppl with him are bad, that means he's bad, cos he choose n supervise them, if they're good then he's he is, cos he choose n surpervise them. If he achieved good or bad, its with them, thats his TEAM.

u look logically sound(thats great), but using it to manipulate truth n fact/good, is what makes one evil (evil genius). I'll modify this post, if I get d time to do research. From 2012-2013 I travelled a long stretch, I saw that dualisation works were going on at kano-maiduguri road, abuja-kogi(abaji-lokoja road or so), enugu-abakaliki road, ikom-uyo etc. I think there's a thread on those roads.
Those aside, gej istration has come n gone. Lies n propaganda has been peddled from both sides (unfortunately, smear campaigns is in synonym with nigerias electioneering) both ers have gullibly believed what their minds want to believe. But manipulating facts presently when there're no election campaigns, try to show that ur wisdom/logic is for nothing but for d devil. And ppl that do like that are nothing but evil.

theshadyexpress:


now i can see your argument is motivated by unparalleled ignorance,how else can u justify that work was done than for the same person that 8months ago was ready to swear to a tin god that nothing of such happened now coming out unashamedly, without duress and using free speech to counter his earlier claims ? he's got to be lying right? can you now tell us why he will want to lie and if by any chance you have used some of the roads mentioned and theyre not motorable, even wikipedia states it clear that nigeria has 28000 km of motorable roads.

get acquainted with facts and stop living in perpetual denial of reality

Assuming the 28000 km of motorable roads in Nigeria is true, and Jonathan had transformed 25000 km, is it not curious that all federal roads in and out of Lagos totaling less than than 2000 km happen to be within the balance 3000 km Jonathan is still planning to transform? At the same time we read of cries of neglect of East-west road, many other roads in the SE and SS. Oyo-Ilorin road remains unfinished almost in the same state since 2007.

It will do lot of good if you can list the names of road and estimated length transformed by GEJ to enrich the discussion instead of bandying figures. For example Lagos to Ibadan is about 120 km multiply by 4 lanes gives less than 500 km and still unfinished and not transformed.

Please do me a favour, compare the report of Fashola's opening speech in the mainstream media with the others on Pointblank etc and come back and tell me if there isn't a difference.

The way you portray your Ignorance is legendary.

To lose credibility? when the manifesto is everywhere already for pple to read. Abeg brother go school O. Ignorance is never an excuse O
