Justcash: GEJ may have exaggerated, but we need to ask ourselves some very important questions before burying him for this statement;


What was the poverty rate before GEJ's tenure?

What is the current poverty rate under GEJ?


Is the poverty situation of Nigeria better or worse?

If it is better, then GEJ has performed better than his predecessors.

If it is worse, then GEJ deserves to be voted out!

FROM EXISTING ECONOMIC INDICATORS FROM IMF, WORLD BANK and NBS, poverty is declining slowly but steadily since GEJ took over.

IF GEJ MUST BE REPLACED, SOMEONE THAT CAN PERFORM BETTER MUST BE PRESENTED.

TINUBU, ATIKU AND BUHARI are clear NOs FOR ME.

gidjah: FROM AREAS like asokoro,maitama,and wuse of course,if u happen to reside in one this areas u will not want to believe that there is poverty in d land

declaro:

I'm not a friend of any politician at all, but he tried on the Agricultural low interest rates for farmers. I really love that much more than given low interest rates for traders that will only use the money to import finished products into the country instead of going into productions that will create more jobs and increase our economy. Agricultural sector is what will develop the forgotten ruler areas and extinguish hunger in Nigeria. It is very important for the youths to create jobs for themselves from this forgotten and untapped sector. Farming is good for graduates and undergraduates. I want to see Nigerians exporting made in Nigeria foods and agricultural products. Europeans have may phd holders in farming and one can become extremely rich from farming.

WE SHOULD ALSO THINK OF WHAT WE CAN DO FOR OUR COUNTRY NOT ALWAYS WHAT NIGERIA WILL DO FOR US. THIS IS WHILE THE WESTERN COUNTRY SEEMS TO BE BETTER THAN US, WE ALWAYS WAIT TO BE SPOON FEED INSTEAD OF FEEDING OTHERS.

Goddex:

Why?
The statistics are there - World Bank, IMF etc
It doesn't mean that everybody is now rich but poverty has definitely reduced

aby1976: The president are we fools? Na wa oo. Even if u ve said it increased by 50% I wouldn't have taken it because I believed it's increased by 150%. Come out of the Aso rock. Go to states. Check under their bridges u will see nigerians living there. Even Garri and groundnut that people were living on b4 how many of us can aford it again? Don't worry u will win in 2015 as some fools are ready to return u. But I have one revelation for them 'nigerians will suffer more'. I know u will still take the fuel price to N150 under d guise of surep.prices of things will shoot up. Chai. I pray u don't get relected Mr. president. Amnt a party man. I don't care if it's pdp that will bring a president that will adress our suffering. Just know that there is God oo. I rest my case

gratieao: It’s now official, this otueke man is a comedian!
I wonder where he got his statistics from.

BlackTechnology: Jonathan I no support you for this one you talk oooooo


Poverty can only reduce when people create businesses that employs people.

Businesses that create jobs can only come into existence when people

1) See it as part of their civic responsibility

2) Are willingly to give out long term low interest rate loans to small medium and large scale businesses

3) Are willingly to go into business partnership directly or indirectly



In all these, the FG has failed to massively educate Nigerians to apply these 3 understanding and lots more


How many Nigerians earning at least 50 000 naira monthly are saving with the intention of going into part time business or lending long term low interest loans to businesses after 10yrs of savings.


In the thread " 7 things about Switzerland you don't know, the OP made us realise that some things were not automated in order to create jobs for book keepers because the swiss believe in low unemployment."


GEJ in this area I will score you 10%

pentagonal: this idi0t is definitely high on pej monthly flow.

9JAgosurvive: PDP governors endorsed GEJ; they forgot that two remaining endorsements with which GEJ cannot really make it are;Gods endorsement and that of the people.

If the cabal sponsoring TAN rallies and the 100's of other support groups for GEJ re-elections, are spending billions of Naira already to protect their own interest by ensuring GEJ remains and not the interest of the majority of Nigerians. GEJ himself is buying totally into this falsehood failing to learn from the two most important aspects of his own ascension to the presidency

1.Was the YAR'ADUA cabal not demolished by divine providence when President Yaradua passed on ? why didn't the cabal give Yaradua Life so they can continue to rule via their entrenched cabalization >>>

2.GEJ was elected in 2011 simply because vast majority of Nigerians wanted a change, after enough frustrations from so called " must rule" / "its our turn" nonsense. People nursed a silent hope that this man GEJ, without any real bad/evil reputation,negative history, or military baggage just might be a saving grace for Nigerians - hence Nigerians easily bought hook,line and sinker into themes like[i] "GEJ a breath of fresh air" or GEJ, am one of you I didn't have shoes in school>>[/i]

But alas!! sadly its these very same evil tactics that the then GEJ enemies tried to use against him when he was considered the underdog, are the same tactics GEJ is allowing or using and stay in power ;eg

1. There's is a strong cabal who will go all the way to seek for GEJ re-elections not for any reason but simply to protect their own interest.Only God knows the payback these people will demand should GEJ win re-election

2. Some of GEJ so called south-south kins including criminals like asari,ateke and other murderers are now show shouting its our turn too, GEJ an Ijaw man must rule 8years or we will go on our own rampage.


Nigerians cant you see ? cant you think ?

Is it not sad that for all the loud noise, money being spent and out right campaigning for GEJ taking place already despite the ban on such for now, that in all of these not for once has there been a clear manifesto of what GEJ really intends to do with another 4 years ? no intelligent debate or argument is going on about Nigerians future if left in the hand of GEJ rather the campaign /arguments is all based on what he has done in the past and this are often over bloated with lies (the so called transformation agenda) and also using the useless argument that he is from the south, and thus the south needs to rule 8years too ?

I HAVE NO PROBLEM VOTING FOR GEJ BECAUSE BY MY OWN ESTIMATION THERE'S REALLY NO CREDIBLE OPPOSITION AS OF TODAY,
BUT BECAUSE OF THE OUTRIGHT AND CLEAR HIJACK OF THIS GEJ GOVERNMENT, WE CAN SEE ALREADY AND HOW BAD THE "VULTURES" ARE ALREADY GATHERING AGAIN TO SEEK HIS RE ELECTION COME 2015 -

I FEAR FOR NIGERIA AND ALL YOU GEJ TILL 2019 ... YOU REALLY SHOULD TOO -

I EARNESTLY PRAY GOD COMES THROUGH FOR NIGERIA AGAIN..

azeezhy:

When did you my friend become a GEJ apologist.

olaeffect:

And you think this can work where there is no basic infrastructure like electricity.
If you only know that the telecoms companies in Nigeria spend more on diesel and generator than what the pay staff.

Why can't our government give us power? PDP, APC, GEJ, IBB, OBJ, etc they are all the same.

BlackTechnology:


Poverty is a global problem

It exist in advanced nations that have the best of infrastructures eg electricity

The most critical solution is when people see it as their moral responsibility to create businesses that employs people and pay them fine.


Remember


Jobs don't fall from heaven but are created by people.
