Some ignorant nairalanders are here mouthing 17 ambulances and relating it to how they don't have ambulances in their respective states and local governments. Just in case you guys don't know, it's not the duty of the Federal government to provide Primary and secondary healthcare to the masses. The Local Government Authorities have the responsibility of providing primary healthcare via setting up of primary health centres and dispensaries while the state government has the responsibility of providing secondary healthcare by building an equipping General hospitals and the states are also involved in tertiary care via state universities teaching hospitals and specialist hospitals. The Federal government is partly responsible for tertiary healthcare. So, if you lack basic medical facilities, you know who to hold responsible; your governors and/or your LGA chairmen. 1 Like |

GEJ has tried enough and unfortunately has drawn more anger and resentment than any President ever. When a man lifts a load not sanctioned by God it ends in shame and that is the story with GEJ. He is not necessarily worse but has been both mediocre and hasn't done better. He is weak and entangled in corruption, his wife is a illiterate (just can't help that feeling) a PhD holder in an anglophone country should have a better control of the English language no excuses. Is only crime is promising much but changing nothing. If not for the presence of okonjo and Sanusi he'll be a complete failure |

bubadaniel13: OP just a question for the confused Mr Joel Brinkley,Is GEJ the first leader of Nigeria?how many years has he spent on power so far?Nigeria has been ruled by bad leaders for decades and u expect GEJ to turn bad things around within three years,the writer of the article must be dreaming. So, lets say I own a huge company that produces clothes..... My company is failing after years of mismanagement, embezzlements, financial misappropriation, internal wrangling and poor labor amongst the workers etc and I hire you to come salvage my company but instead of doing what youre paid for you start pilfering my money, sharing it with your friends, build a mission house for your wife because she said her friends insisted, build another magnificent mansion for your Vice (whom you picked with your own hand and which I didnt object to because I trusted your choices in making my company profitable again) instead of staying in the old one, you attend meetings overseas with a retinue fit only for a gangsta rapper's posse--- all on my dime!!!! So, when I ask you why youre further destroying my company you'll tell me to shut up because others have destroyed it before you arrived? If you dont know, Nigerians own the company called Nigeria, and they hired GEJ to revive their country, hes not doing the job and they have every right to fire him and seek redress and restitution for any monies they can prove he pilfered from them. The contract was for him to do a good job for 4 years, he has not lived up to his own end so the Nigerian people can invoke the "Impeachment" clause and have him removed immediately. I think GEJ should be impeached. 14 Likes |

~Bluetooth: Point of correction, there is a difference between declaration of assets and public declaration of assets. Declaration of assets is a constitutional requirement for all public office holders and GEJ has done that. The constitution doesn't require him to make such declaration public. Anyone who is interested in knowing the president's assets should approach the CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU using the Freedom of information (FOI) act which was signed into law by the same GEJ to obtain such information. Misrepresenting information with intent to misinform the gullible public won't make APC win the next elections that's if the merger even succeeds. |

Dee60: You people need to pretend you have some sense at least. In addition to the pile of nonsense written by the jaundiced journalist, the comments on the first page necessitate a comparison with OBJ, since the general idea these people seem to be passing across is that GEJ's administration is the worst ever, hence it is in order for him to be impeached - even though his predecessors weren't. This has everything to do with OBJ! The level of hate and scorn directed at GEJ is unprecedented, whereas his supposed 'failure' (assuming but NOT conceding that he is a failure) has many worse precedents - most of which can be identified in OBJ's eight year administration. In spite of this, many of you hypocrites continue to praise OBJ as the best thing to happen to Nigeria and condemn GEJ as the worst thing. What is the basis for that? None of you have been able to prove how GEJ's administration is more corrupt or less competent than OBJ's, yet you all maintain that he is the worst thing to ever happen to the country. This is exactly why it is unacceptable to appraise GEJ in isolation, whilst falsely portraying OBJ's era as a period when Nigeria was well governed. Most of the issues disingenuously chronicled by the journalist has characterised governance in Nigeria long before GEJ became president, and these problems were arguably at their peak during OBJ's eight wasted years. Why then should GEJ be singled out for relentless mud-slinging? If OBJ was not impeached for committing so MANY impeachable offences during his tenure, why is it right to impeach GEJ - over what exactly? On a side note, if it is fine for some of you to hate GEJ for no good reason, be advised that it is also fine for many of us to like him for very good reason! 3 Likes |

~Bluetooth: He also declared his assets publicly as vice president; The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau. The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420. This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892. Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’. He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years. “It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray. “This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said. advertisement In the assets declaration made public yesterday, it indicated that the vice president submitted his assets declaration before Justice Muktar Dodo of the Abuja high court on 30th May 2007, a day after the oath of office and oath of allegiance was administered on him. A break down of the assets of the vice president indicates that he has four buildings located in Yenegoa, Abuja and his home town in Ogbia, Bayelsa state.

It is valued at the cost of N18,000, 000 and was acquired through ‘savings and gifts in Kind. The last of the Vice president’s residential buildings are the Four bedroom Duplex acquired in 2003 through ‘savings and gift in Kind’ in the Kpansia area of Yenegoa. The value of the building, he said is N15,000,000.

pro01: Obj never had the sort of money gej has at his disposal. Oil prices started to rise around 2006 and was about 50 to 70dollars a barrel then. Gej has had only prices over $100 for quite a while now. Yaradua had the Niger delta issue reducing our production levels so he did not have as much money as gej. What further compounds gej's problems is that there is an expectation of increased supply of crude oil from shale sources and if this occurs, oil prices are surely going to fall. We have little savings, not much investments and a growing disenfranchised adult population so this spells out a revolution to any sensible person viewing our situation. |
