Banned goods worth millions of Naira are seized every week and destroyed. You don't see that so you don't thank the President.
People with forged documents are apprehended on daily basis. You don't see that so you don't thank the President.
Ritualists, Narcotics-merchants and criminals are being tackled at the borders. You don't see that so you don't thank the President.

The only thing you saw is 'Patrick Sawyer'. The very first case of Ebola in the country. You didn't even know Nigeria managed the Ebola incident better than any other country in an identical scenario. US of all people also had Ebola awhile, despite their extreme caution. I'm sure you didn't know this too so, You don't see that so you don't thank the President.

Look, I know many of us are against GEJ's ambition. That doesn't mean we should hurl frivolous allegations at him.

The President deserves respect from citizens. I'll leave it at that.
Banned goods? Forged documents? Ritualists? Criminals?
Bros, let's don't dig it pls coz I have case study on all mentioned above.
Ambition? Bros leave that story abeg.
For the respect, my religion teaches me not to speak ill of my leader. So, I will never speak ill or disrespect him either as a man or as a leader.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday
said he did not expect Nigerians to
shower praises on him while he is still in
office.

He said it was normal that public office
holders would only be commended after
leaving office by the time his
achievements were being compared
with others.

Jonathan spoke while granting audience
to a delegation from his home state,
Bayelsa.

Members of the delegation led by
Governor Seriake Dickson were in the
Presidential Villa, Abuja to felicitate with
him on Christmas and New Year
festivities.

The President said notwithstanding the
various challenges facing the country, he
would do his best to make his people
proud.

He said, “I always say that I will not
even expect praises now because hardly
do people praise serving leaders. It is
when you leave, people will begin to
know.

“When you leave, people will begin to
compare what you have done over the
period vis-a-vis what others have done,
then they will compare you with
whoever takes over.

“Probably that is the time some people
will begin to say good about you. But I
will do my best to make sure that we do
change things.

“We are trying to create enabling
environment for our economy to thrive
irrespective of the challenges we are
having in the petroleum sector and the
security challenges we have.

“I will do my best so that by the time I
will leave, you will be able to say that
when our son was there, he served the
country well so that one day, another
son of Bayelsa may be given another
opportunity to serve Nigerians.”

Jonathan observed that it has become
the norm worldwide for people to be
lambasting their leaders, especially on
the social media.

He regretted that people are using
different things that have been created
by people’s knowledge for negative
purposes.

He cited an example of dynamite, saying
the inventor regretted when he realised
the destructive purposes people have
turned the item to.

The President added, “I assure you that
I am here by the grace of God and with
the willingness of Nigerians. If Nigerians
say I shouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t have
been here. We contested election in
2011 and Nigerians voted for us.
“I am your own, if I don’t do well, the
shame will be on you. If I do well, you
will have some kind of pride. I will do
my best.

It is more honorable to leave with dignity. Office holders are subject and at service of the general populace.It is expected of them to hold in trust the goodwill of people. Any policy or programme that doesn't translate to money in pocket, food on table and general welfare of the man in the village is failure.

Yep.. All the above. Except you don't listen to news at least. I don't know how long your 'case study' lasted but when I talk about 'Seme border', it's from experience. I live very close to Badagry for the past 17 years and that has been my father's business route for over 30 years and counting.

So I don't need a case study to explain what happens in my backyard.

For granting us freedom of speech esp in nairaland we will miss you.
For providing social amenities like train we will miss you.

Nairaland existed before GEJ became president of Nigeria so he did not grant me freedom of speech.... infact he cant take it away from me....

TRAINS EXISTED before Jonathan came so he did not provide me with TRAINS... At least when I was younger we used trains from zaria to owerri that was about 1990, so babangidas government,Abacha,shonekan, abdulsalam, obasanjo yaradua and jonathans government destroyed the railway system....

It is important to note that all the people listed above are members of the pdp excluding Abacha because he is dead although his family is now in the pdp so your talk is totally baseless

This man is an epitome of humility. For the fact that he has said he doesn't want people to praise him now, but should rather wait until he is out of power (by 2019), shows that he knows his onion and what he is doing. Again I want to sound that APC supporters are being overly optimistic. This is dangerous in the sense that, when all of that optimism is dashed by 2015, it will be difficult for them to believe and may lead to several suicides and post election violence. Pls, APC supporters, do not be decieved by what you see online. Elections are not won on the pages of Newspaper. Only 1% of the Nigerian population read newspaper. The real voters are the farmers out there, whose lots these government has bettered; they are the teeming youths who are daily empowered via YOUWIN. They are the road users. They are Nigerians who'll no longer be turned back from receiving emergency attention in hospitals. They are the pregnant women, children and elderly, who will now be entitled to free medicare. All of these is courtesy the newly accented health bill by GEJ. It is my desire that there'll be a presidential debate. GEJ till 2019...
Each time I hear Mr president's words I pity him but I believe this is a strategy for people to vote for him out of pity.whatever you do either good or bad people must talk, I think if he leaves now, we will appreciate him more. Between,The handwriting is on the wall. CHANG!!!

While Bihari may noy be a perfect answer to the many troubles plaquing this country of ours, it's clear that President Goodluck Jonathan's administration hasn't been it. Though he may not be the total cause of our woes, but history will not forget a king that rules when the people live in abject poverty.

Some persons, Nigerians for that matter, said they will make Nigeria ungovernable for you, and has been throwing all manners of spanners on your wheels of progress.

Against all odds, quietly, steadily and without insulting anyone God has helped you to make remarkable progress. I am sure you would have made more progress with minimal hitch.

Shame, and more shame to the enemies of Nigeria, within or without.
