LET US BE TRUTHFUL IN OUR ANALYSIS. LordCenturion: PDP achievement since Abdulsalam abubakar hand over let me mention 18 1. Electricity : in 1999 = 32%..in 2014 = 5% ❌ ELECTRICITY HAS IMPROVED TREMENDOUSLY SINCE 2007 TILL DATE 2. Petroleum price : in 1999 = #18..in 2014 = #95 ❌ 3. Naira to dollar : in 1999 = #85..2014 = #181 ❌ 4. water : 1999 = 39%..2014 = 1% ❌ WHO DAMAGED THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURES? GEJ OR FASHOLA? IT IS THE MASSES 5. security : 1999 = 45%..2014 = 14% ❌ SECURITY IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU'VE PAINTED IT, MORE PATROL VAN, HIGHWAY PATROLS, BETTER COMMUNICATION, ETC. THEY MAY NOT SCORE EXCELLENTLY, BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING SO BADLY 6. employment : 1999 = 57%..2014 = 9% ❌ BRO 9% IS TOO LOW. LET'S CREATE JOB OURSELVES AND STOP WAITING FOR GOVERNMENT. FARMING IS LUCRATIVE 7. government property maintenance such as stadium,national theatre,refineries,schools,Roads etc : 1999 = 24%..2014 = 2% ❌ I ACCEPT FOR REFINERY. BUT FOR SCHOOLS AND THE REST OF IT, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE IN THOSE DAYS. IT IS MUCH BETTER NOW. EXCEPT WHERE STATE GOVERNMENT SIPHONED MONIES MEANT FOR THESE PROJECTS 8. Education : 1999 = 57%..2014 = 88 ✔ 9. corruption : 1999 = 47%..2014 = 85 ❌ 10. Foreign investors : 1999 = 15%..2014 = 36% ❓ T[b]HIS IS UNFAIRLY SCORED. TELECOMMS, OIL, PRODUCTION, AGRIC SECTOR, ETC. IT IS A GRADUAL PROCESS, WE CANNOT JUST ALLOW FOREIGNERS TO FLOOD THE COUNTRY ANYHOW AT ONCE [/b] 11. Telecommunication system : 1999 = 9%..2014 = 79% ✔ 12. crime : 1999 = 13%..2014 = 65% ❌ LOOK, NIGERIANS ARE NOT CRIMINALS THERE IS NO COUNTRY THAT IS 100% CRIME FREE. COMPARE NIGERIA WITH SOUTH AFRICA IN TERMS OF CRIMINALITY AND SEE THAT NIGERIANS ARE FAR BETTER OFF. 13. Medical care : 1999 = 27%..2014 = 38% ❓ HAAAAA!! THERE IS GOD OOOOOOO. IN 1999 HOW MANY HEALTH CENTERS DO WE HAVE ALL OVER NIGERIA. IN LAGOS THAT I LIVE, THINGS HAS CHANGED. GENERAL HOSPITALS AND PRIMARY HEALTH CENTERS ARE EVERYWHERE. GOVERNMENT DESERVES BETTER SCORE HERE 14. Insurgency : 1999 = 1%..2014 = 71% ❌ INSURGENCY'S OPERATION IS NOT UP TO 71% EXCEPT YOU ARE PROPHESYING DOOM FOR THIS COUNTRY. KEEP IT AT 10% AT WORSE. THEY HAVE NOT CAPTURED ANY STATE SUCCESSFULLY, ALL THEIR ATTACKS WERE BEING REPELLED, OUR GALLANT SOLDIERS KILLED MANY OF THEM EVEN SOME OF THE CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS DIED ALSO. WHAT WILL YOU SCORE PAKISTAN, SUDAN, IRAQ, ETC ? 15. Embezzlement : 1999 = 32%..2014 =86% ❌ 16. Creativity : 1999 = 41%..2014 = 81% ✔ 17. Poverty : 1999 = 68%..2014 = 42% ✔ 18. New Roads : 1999 = 21%..2014 = 40% ❓ I AM NOT IN THE GOVERNMENT NOR CAMPAIGNING FOR ANYONE BUT LET'S SCORE GOVERNMENT FAIRLY AND TELL THE TRUTH BASED ON FACTS AND FIGURES |

anonimi:Some of your points are good globally but when you bring them to Nigeria's level, you will know they are not tendable here. 1. Why is it that diesel which has been deregulated for a while now has its price still extremely high. What makes you think same will not happen to PMS when deregulated? 2. We shout of scam in fuel subsidy, whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the citizenry or that of the government? Why is it that not a single person has been jailed over this fuel subsidy scam thing we all shout about? Is it the citizenry that will prosecute and recover money from the fraudsters? 3. What exactly has the government done with the extra 32 naira accrued to the government from the pump price? 4. Why has the amounts paid by FG as fuel subsidy gone up by x2 even when we have experienced a 32 naira increment in price? 5. Why are our refineries not working? We were told they will become functional this year with the extra from the increase in pump prices but just 16 days to the end of the year, nothing has been done? 6 why do you honestly think if the above raised points have happened, why should government be trusted? We gave them 32 naira extra from our pockets, they did f*ck all with it, why should we give them more? 7. Do you and the government think we are so dumb? You were importing Oil at a particular rate and sell at another rate ( to make profit) now the price you purchase has decreased and you all of a sudden want to continue to sell at the old price? How does that work especially as billions are still being paid as subsidy? Educate us if you can. |

datribune: Na you clueless pass. Worse is you don't even realise and think you are smart. How do YOU know the received GSM licence fees were not paid into the Federation Account and shared, as usual, with the 36 states and 774 LGAs? HOW do you know NITEL was receiving subsidies and annual budgets yet providing no telephones Now we have MILLIONS of lines, additional revenue and EMPLOYMENT. What exactly is your complaint again |

Subsidy must go that's a fact Nigerians must accept It's a shame that some of us especially pro-APC fans have failed to see the benefit of re-investing our subsidy into other productive ventures Will jobs fall from heaven , will prices drop when demand still exceeds supply and will importation stop depleting our foreign reserve when we fail to encourage public-private industrialization with the hope to completely privatized in the nearest future. This share share economic system bestow on us by our false federalism will land us in national poverty if we fail to encourage wealth creation. Create wealth today or die in poverty tomorrow 1 Like |

arsetalks: That is a CONVENIENCE lie for doing all sorts of chaotic, knee-jerk solution proposals that will NEVER address our issues FUNDAMENTALLY Nigerians are human beings just like other human beings around the world- in Europe, Asia, America etc. No difference in our INTELLIGENCE level. The main difference is how/whether we use that God-given intelligence with determination, perseverance knowing that any MEANINGFUL sacrifice and suffering today can only make tomorrow better for us ALL. 1. Why is it that diesel which has been deregulated for a while now has its price still extremely high. What makes you think same will not happen to PMS when deregulated? While I do not have all the details of the TREND of diesel price since its deregulation I can already say that deregulating diesel in ISOLATION while other refined petroleum products are still subsidised and regulated CANNOT allow & encourage much needed private investors to come into the sector that will lead to competition and price REDUCTION down the line. Moreover have you considered the impact of INCREASED economic activity on the consumption of diesel 2. We shout of scam in fuel subsidy, whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the citizenry or that of the government? Why is it that not a single person has been jailed over this fuel subsidy scam thing we all shout about? Is it the citizenry that will prosecute and recover money from the fraudsters? This Jonathan/Sambo administration is dealing with the subsidy scam issue SYSTEMATICALLY and in line with what is done in any CIVILISED society- you follow Law & Order.

anonimi: U ar truly clueless. U ar so uninformed dat u don't even know dat b4 PDP involvement, Nitel never received subsidy frm govt. Just as d PDP looted d proceeds frm gsm licences, it looted Nitel in arguably d biggest scam in Nigerian history. d PDP killed Nitel in order to sell it cheap to themselves. B4 year 2000 when d PDP brought in Pentascope to loot d company, Nitel made more profit than most banks. It paid all its bills & financed all its projects. In yr 2000, Nitel MD, prof Bajoga left N15b & USD 200m in Nitel coffers. Within 20 months Pentascope looted about N105 billion without installing even a single line, either fixed or mobile. Pentascope looted all incoming revenues & borrowed heavily. dis was d beginning of d Nitel problem. It is shameful dat u, a supporter of a govt who thru corruption & ineptitude has made gsm in Nigeria one of d most expensive in d world now comes to NL to taunt d achievements of dis gsm companies in terms of provision of lines & employment, a feat they achieved inspite of d infrastructure challenges brought on them by d utterly corrupt & clueless PDP. #pathetic |

datribune: First of all kindly provide credible links to your STORY of NITEL making MORE profit than banks and remitting it to the Federation Accounts before 1999. Meanwhile, are you talking about these two characters El-Rufai and Atiku Atiku lied about Pentascope deal –El-Rufai Are both of them not born-to-gain Is Obasanjo not being begged by Tinubu to be the "navigator" of their national ship? No wonder it is said that APC is the WASTE basket for rejected, expired by-products of PDP |

anonimi: Hahahaha, nice try. U can clap 4 urself because now dat d 2 individuals ar no longer in d PDP camp u can eagerly throw them under d bus to take d fall 4 d decay of 15+ yrs of d PDP misrule & corruption. Shey u can now see dat d whole myth about PDP's privatization program being an attempt to promote efficiency is utter fallacy. Privatization under d PDP has been about asset stripping, sharing of our national patrimony & concentrating d assets of our nation in d hands of a privileged few. That's why u see dat today d gap between d rich & poor has never been wider. d rich getting richer & d poor getting poorer under a man who once had no shoes.
