As the 2015 elections draw nearer, I have studied the unfolding dynamics and permutations, my conclusion is that all factors considered, it is in the best interest of Nigeria to vote out President Jonathan. I have summarized my reasons below. *Nigeria has recorded remarkable economic growth under President Jonathan and yet bad roads everywhere in the country and no constant power supply just to mention few. Few Months ago, Nigeria overtook South Africa as the continent’s largest economy after it overhauled its gross domestic product data for the first time in more than two decades. According to verifiable figures for 2013, released by Nigeria’s statistics bureau, Nigeria’s GDP hit $503bn (£307bn) – nearly double previous estimates and well ahead of South Africa at around $350bn.This pushed Nigeria up 12 places to become the 24th largest economy in the world – on par with Poland and Belgium and ahead of Argentina, Austria and Iran. This is a huge achievement but how is the federal government mismanaging our economy and expect us to accept all this big figures of money *President Jonathan has recorded significant backwardness in the power sector, backed up with insufficient good roads and poor infrastructural development. The bold privatization of the defunct PHCN paved way for private companies to control power supply in Nigeria. Most Nigerians can confirm that we do not have power supply round the clock, however there has been no commendable improvement. *The need for change in our democracy is highly important. Having made tremendous retrogress discussed above, there is an important need for change in order to build a future for our children and their next generation. What is needed is a sustained initiative and a planned change of government *A popular quote says “politicians think of the next election, statesmen think of the next generation”. Obviously President Jonathan does not believe in this. A president enmeshing himself in one political fight after another is not healthy for our politics. Jonathan aligning with the Jang faction as against Governor Amaechi that won an election is not Presidential. Amaechi had 19 votes while Jang had 16 votes, if the votes of only 35 people can be like that , I can't imagine what they will do to millions of votes. During a campaign in Ekiti state, the President was quoted to have said:“I would develop Ekiti state, if Fayose wins the election.” Is Jonathan not the President of Nigeria? *Nigeria has never been so unsafe since the birth of the Nation like it is presently. Bombings, killings, destruction are being record daily and the Military and indeed the Jonathan Government is hapless and helpless. Agreed, the current security challenges predated the administration, but he promised to curb the menace of Boko Haram, hence he was voted massively into office in 2011. The onus lie on him to tackle the madness called terrorism. Obviously he seems incapable. *The fact remain that the Chibok girls had beenin the hands of the sect for over 6 months, yet the President has not paid a visit to the family of the kidnapped Chibok girls. It took the coming of the Pakistani activist Malala Yussafzai to convince the President to do otherwise. Indecision you might want to say! Should such a figure remain as President? The President as finally neglected the chibok girls. How insensitive! |

Isiterere:how can you see the improvement and the output from our farms when your hearts and minds are fixed on getting an old imported rice and products from India and Thailand. Have you ever gone to the store to demand for Nigerian rice? Be honest. |

I'm no PDP or APC fan, but GEJ looks great on paper, but weak in real life, re his projects. Sure he threw Nigeria open to foreign investments. Those multinationals proceeded to fill their tech staff and upper echelons with more foreigners. Companies I can confirm that happens in is NigerDock, Airtel (IBM), CCECC and a few others. They're Nigerian on paper, but walk in there (I have). They're not training their Nigerian staff to take over from them anytime soon. CCECC is probably the worst offender, followed by the guys who run the telecomms IT support (Indians). Fertiliser became a cabal, please go to the big fertiliser producing companies. Fear of Dangote is the beginning of wisdom for fertiliser, Cement and a few other products. He is merciless and will sit on the BOI and make your company's life hell. Fact. Power hasn't improved. Not for a large amount of people. Lagos didn't improve drastically and we're the commercial hub. Giving villages and towns light with no viable industry to use it, is a waste. Govt Red tape and Beaureacracy is amazing. Corruption will daze you (from LG to state to FG), running cost of business in Nigeria isn't reasonable. No-one is saying GEJ didn't do something, but will your company keep employing you after 6 years and you tell them "next year I'll do better though I've not done much since then till now"? GEJ handed too much power to certain people in his govt, so they all work independently (Rail should have been working with Power, Power could have gotten some help from Agriculture, Tourism, Education, Culture should have been in bed with Agriculture and Infrastructure, etc) GEJ didn't do that (OBJ did, just try having top meetings without him, you go know your papa name that day ![]() That's my take. I don't know if Buhari will do better (he has too many old faces whom I'm familiar with surrounding him). I would rather give an outside Presidential candidate my vote. And I know a growing number of people who are eschewing PDP and APC. Yes, say our vote will waste, we are making a statement to both parties: "Nigeria is in trouble and you two don't sound like you have all the answers to our trouble". 3 Likes |

The writer of these fantasy is a failure to his generation; no defense of think magnitude can bring him back to power again, go and collect your money for the write up and quietly vote for change. Vote for APC |

highmood:Maybe you're not getting my point' how can a government that claimed to have make a giant strides in agricultural sector of the economy still went ahead to Thailand to import rice for stomach infrastructure. Why not improvement in our local rice :processing and packaging it in a better form, stop importation. if the so called imported rice is no where to be found, people will buy the local but proved ones. I can bet it with you that GEJ is consuming imported rice like each and everyone of us. I want a government of "do as I do" not "do as I say" ALL IZZ WELL |

/ Now I understand why they say that absolute power corrupts because if I have the power I will make a law that prohibits the phrase " I will" from English lexicon so that GEJ will stop abusing it. \ |

THE OPPOSITION PARTY, APC WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT GEJ HAS FAILED IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS. THE TRUTH IS THAT MANY ENLIGHTENED NIGERIANS KNEW THAT THIS MAN HAS FAR PERFORMED ABOVE AVERAGE. THE LEADERSHIP OF APC IS MADE UP OF BAD EGGS FROM PDP. DO YOU WANT TO ENTRUST NIGERIA IN THE HANDS OF THIS CRIMINALS? NEVER! NEVER!! ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS TO BLINDFOLD GULLIBLE NIGERIANS IN THE NAME OF TAKING POWER BY FORCE THRU RIDICULE AND BLATANT LIES. YES, CHANGE IS CONSTANT BUT NOT BY PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF THESE VULTURES LYING IN WAIT FOR THE KILL. NIGERIANS, BE WISE!!! |
