No matter how many times you scream a lie, it would never become the truth.

1) Boko haram started in Yar' Adua's time. Its unfortunate Goodluck has to deal with them but no one forced him to be president. He made that decision on his own. He should 'man up' and stop lamenting.
2) Everywhere there has been a terrorist attack, the leaders in those places talk tough and promise to fish out the perpetrators but own so called president told the nation to deal with it that it happens in other places too.
3) The same president with his own mouth said members of boko haram are part of his government and what has he done to them?
4) Gej problem with the 7 governors is a pdp wahala and Gej can fight it any how he wants legally, its not the Nations problem.
5) Gej problem with the 7 governors arouse from his greed. ***In 2007, the presidency was zoned to the north and they did not use their tenure complete before Gej interrupted. He chose to abandon the pdp zoning formula in 2011 and he should bear the consequence.
6) In 2003, ASUU went on strike for 6 months. OBJ did not claim it was political. As a matter of fact, every Nigerian president has dealt with ASUU one way or another with Abdusalami being the only exception so what are you shouting about?
7) If you are crying that its only GEJ that ASUU wants to release money before they resume, then you should remember that it was GEJ who brokered the 2009 agreement in which they are fighting for. If GEJ has refused to honour an agreement he was part of in 2009, why should anybody trust he would honour the one he does in 2013? The saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" aptly applies to this scenario.

In summary, leaders lead so GEJ should start leading and so buck passing.



** I abhor any form of zoning agreement.

Sincere 9gerian:
I read through your post to look for the lie you accused me of but I couldn't find any.

ASUU has been going on strike in the past but there is a difference between a govt that ignored ASUU strike and a govt the had made atleast 3 levels of interventions and offer towards ending the strike but ASUU remained unyielding.

The challenges the president is faced with as highlighted in my post is not an excuse for failure. I and many others have also created threads about PROGRESS being recorded by the govt but my POINT on this thread which should not be lost is that as a nation we can do without these distractions and without these distractions, we'll see faster development. Faster development is to the benefit of ALL of us.

A-ZeD:

GEJ was part of the government that failed to honour the 2009 agreement. Why should he be trusted to honour an agreement now?

As for the lie, You make it out as if ASUU is on strike because GEJ is president.

dinachi: Don't mind that guy that calls himself insincere Nigerian. Other Presidents even faced more challenges but any little thing this Jonathan faced is always magnified to attract sympathy. If he can not lead this country, he should throw in the towel and let more worthy people take over. We are tired of all the drinking binges and sympathy requests. Leading the most popular nation in Africa no be beans! The issue with the G7 governors is politics. If he cannot play the politics then he should stop going by the name politician. This man should straighten up and act like a man. Enough of this Kindergarten leadership.

Sincere 9gerian: It is Goodluck Jonathan that must implement the 2009 agreement hundred percent or else the university doors will remain shut.

Despite the fact that he didn't sign this agreement wit ASUU, GEJ immediately went to work to address the concerns of ASUU.

Long before the strike was called, the govt had already done an assessment of infrastructural decay in the universities and this was documented in what is now called the NEEDS Assessment. With the commencement of strike, the president set up the Governor Gabriel Suswan led committee to meet with ASUU. That committee made some offer to ASUU, including N100 billion for infrastructural upgrade and N30 billion for earned allowance. ASUU rejected this offer. This is the same ASUU that didn't get even N1 from Yar Adua that signed the 2009 agreement. With the collapse of talks between the Suswan committee and ASUU, the president ordered the Vice President to negotiate with ASUU. The Vice President then increased the earned allowance to N40 billion but still ASUU refused to call off the strike. The president now stepped in and held a marathon 13 hours meeting with ASUU. Before going into that meeting, the president told all who cared to listen that ALL issues must be resolved tonight so that schools will reopen. After the meeting, we were all hoping to here that the strike has been suspended only for ASUU to come back with another 4 demands.

Ladies and gentlemen, which President in the history of Nigeria, made this sort of effort to resolve a labour dispute but to no avail? I cant think of any.

The battle between the president and ASUU is still on and we'r all watching.

4. Sabotage of power infrastructure. Realising the critical importance of electric power supply to national development, enemies of progress and losers in the last election and possibly generator-importing cabals, are not relenting in their determination to frustrate the power reform agenda of the govt. They vandalize major and critical gas pipelines, power transmission lines and major distribution stations,etc.

In conclusion, notwithstanding these major battles that the first president of Nigeria from the minority Niger Delta has had to grapple with, he has continued to deliver in many sectors. Agriculture is beginning to boom again, our elections are now cleaner (opposition parties are winning elections which was rarely heard of in the past), our federal roads are getting better, power has been privatised,etc. But definitely, without these distracting, energy, time and resource consuming battles, the country would have seen far greater progress under the leadership of president Goodluck Jonathan.

sincerenigerian: @Mumu9gerian, I used to take you serious but not anymore since I found out you've been copying and pasting whatever Reno Omokiri sends your way be email. I used to think you were intelligent enough to write a 1000 word article but I was recently given an eye opener that you receive posts about what to post on the internet by emails. Deep down in your heart, you don't believe in the rubbish you are given to spread on the internet. But for the sake of putting food on the table for madam and the kids, you had to do it.

Sincere 9gerian:
Who even takes ME seriously on NL?

Sincere 9gerian:
You and I know that Vice Presidents, just like deputy governors, are powerless spare tires.

The process of producing that agreement actually started in 2006 or so under OBJ govt. Oby Ezekwesili was the minister of education that set up the committee that produced the agreement. There was no govt person in that committee, she only nominated people outside govt to represent govt. More like you sending people who do not work in your company and who knows nothing about the inner workings of your company to go negotiate on behalf of your company. That was a fatal error. That was why the agreement mentioned some ridiculous sums of money.

Sincere 9gerian:
Who even takes you seriously on NL? A nincompoop who lacks the intelligence and sanity of mind to pick a username for himself? You'r a joke.

wirinet: Insincere9gerian, you and your principal are never tired of playing the victim card, ie they hate jonathan because he is from a minority tribe (even though the yorubas supported him massively for him to be acting president and subsequently president), he is hated because he is christian ( even though he got more than the required 25% votes from most muslim states), oh they are using Boko Haram to undermine his government ( even though every government from Murtala to Yaradua, save abdulsalami had to deal with muslim fundamentalists)

Jonathan style of government can be called excusism, meaning there is always an excuse for failure to perform.

He is the commander in chief of nigerian armed forces for God sake, he should have shown his fangs long ago to Boko Haram and its sympathizers. I expected him to give all the leaders of boko haram infested states - political, traditional and religious, a six month ultimatum to rein in their indigenes in boko haram, and slam a total state of emmergency after the expiration. Whereby he will appoint tough northern retired General to restore order within 6 months. This is an insurgence for god sake, undermining his authority as C in C and the territorial integrity of the country.

About the G7, OBJ had far more dissenting governors against his second term than jonathan, he did not use the tribal card, he used political dexterity. He used compromise, trickery and guile to have his way. He identified the leader of the dissent and reached a political compromise with him(Atiku). I thought jonathan was wise enough to identify Amaechi as the leader of dissent against him and reach a brotherly compromise. But I was shocked the presidents me advice a full scale war. We we are watching how things play out, but people are getting tired of the ethnic and sectional trump card.

Jonathan has alienated ALL the people that brought him to power and is relying heavily on people IJAWS and ORTHODOX IBOS with little political value or acumen.
