castrogee: @OP,

Your post is highly appreciated, some Nigerians will never know the value of GEJ until he leaves the state house. Only then will our eyes open and poeple will begin to wish that the man remains as president. Sincerely, Jonathan has achieved a lot in his short time of presidency even more than any president in Nigeria's history - despite all odds!

This compilation was made so that it can be pushed to the front page and i find it so surprising that it yet to make front page.

Seun move this stuff to front page for posterity sake and i as the OP is ready to accept any constructive criticism to edit the growing list for future reference.

dustydee: @OP there are many holes in these "achievements" you have listed. For example:


How did the government achieve this or what did they do to achieve this given that most of the secondary schools in Nigeria are either run by state governments or private investor? If your assertions are true, please why is the failure rate in the north still very high? Or is GEJ's policy in the south different from that in the north?

Why do you attribute high percentage of out of school children to the federal government when you know that Local government and State government are in charge of primary school education.
Industrial revolution is driven by private sectors but you attributes it to government because of the enabling policies.
If things go wrong you blame government so if things go right commends the government also.

Friends, This is a compilation of GEJ government achievements that i personally compiled from various sources. Kindly go through the list and add whatever i missed out or remove through constructive criticism whatever you disagree with:

I am happy to be a Yoruba man. We are very civilized and intelligent of which this trend has proved that. As many of you who keep having headache because of us, I wish u more strenght to be sad over our prosperity. Igbos are my friends but if u are tribalistic u aren't one.

mu2sa2: The attacks on Islam across d world, including Nairaland, is borne out of fear that Islam is growing even in Western countries and will eventually dominate d world. You will notice that these smear campaigns ar perpetrated by Xtians and Jews. But they ar fighting a losing battle: more than 1400 years ago God declared Islam for mankind and promised to protect His word d Quran from corruption. We ar seeing today that God does not make a promise in vain: d Quran remains exactly as revealed over 1400 years ago(No revised standard or other version) and Islam is today growing at a phenomenal phase. Those who think they can stop d only true religion of God will be d losers.

You need a better lecture from your Imam who doesnt know what statistics is in any form, well i wont be suprise since u guys are craving for "Boko Haram" meaning western education is a sin, tell me how you will understand what statistics is. Your islam is growing NOTHING...Tell ur Imam to go to adult education for statistical knowledge

Silkmoth33: its not just a movie like the passion of the christ. This video was a satirical video clearly aimed infuriating, the fanatists and muslim faithfuls alike. You should count yourself lucky that your head is still intact.
Cos nobody takes it when their prophet is ridiculed in a video, not even christians.

I laugh at you and ur prophet, u guys are confused... point to one instant that christians have trooped out to fight for the numerous 'show of shame" muslems do by insulting Jesus or christianity... we know what we believe and we see u guys as fools anytime u fool around

M M M: I pray dey grow someday

This is laughable
