@ OP, I got to read your post and I was simply flabbergasted. Reasons? 'cos the post is riddled with so many BLATANT lies, I just don't know where to start from. Right now, I'm so tired to type a rebuttal, but I honestly can't wait to shut you APC e-roaches up once and for all come February 14. But don't worry, the valentine heart break tissue papers and chocolates for your general and you are on me.

A head of state and commander in chief who sees it as wrong, who sees it is a threat to national security viz fighting Boko haram will rewrite that wrong, a clueless Commander in chief not knowing the implications will wish it away.
By the way, the AU has contracted Chad to do the job that Jonathan neglected for 4yrs.
I rather vote the president of chad than vote for Jonathan.

Dude, you really really reeeeeeeally need to shut the FCK up, cos you OBVIOUSLY oblivious to what's currently happening right now. Sure the Chadians have joined the fight to AID Cameroon, and yes they did kick ass acting as a blocking force in Gamboru-gala. But care to explain the massacre that just occurred in Fotokol, Cameroon, the main operations base of the Chadians? The Chadians just had their post overrunned by 7000 BH militants, while the Nigerian Army not only defended Maiduguri, but recaptured Gwoza (capital of the caliphate), Bama, Baga, and are currently laying seige on Sambisa. Yet you have the audacity to come here and spew trash? You MUST be stupid.
Re: President Goodluck Jonathan's Stewardship In Retrospect by ocelot2006(m): 8:11pm On Feb 05, 2015
You know what, we've heard ALL your complaints about Jonathan. Now care to share of the APC intends to address the issues listed in that garbage post?

Do note that while you whine and complaining like cry babies (as usual), GEJ is still working and moving the nation forward. So hey, keep spewing trash, it won't help you case.

Watch this interview and come back to apologize thanks.
Shame on those that can read and are still talking about GMB listen to who you want! https://www.nairaland.com/2033799/general-buhari-promises-stabilize-oil


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsOEmrAV74Y



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gAr77wWNms

So Buhari said that military regimes did no harm to Nigeria shocked He said the best time of Nigeria is under Military dictators! This is 2015ooo! 37 years of them ruling and 11 under democratic/military OBJ, we say NO to soldiers of fortune ruling Nigeria again!

Why should he apologize? The video you gave doesn't show anywhere Buhari or anyone saying that they will stabilize global crude oil price as falsely and popularly brandished. Only mischief wil make anyone twist the CONTEXT of what was being discussed. In the video you present, Buhari was asked "How would you tackle the challenges that we are facing in our economic life considering that we are reliant majorly on oil proceeds?" To this, Buhari responded by saying "I think it is absolutely necessary to make people accountable. During this discussion, we've talked about the hearing conducted. About the mismanagement of the oil industry, where we depend on 95% of our foreign earnings. I think WE SHOULD DO WHAT WE CAN TO STABILIZE THE OIL MARKET". Notice that, the I and the WE and the SHOULD. He did nopt say that HE will personal stabilize GLOBAL crude oil PRICES, but that WE should stabilize the oil MARKET. Of course, the context of the discussion is the NIGERIAN economy. And he went further to elaborate on that. He said that the things that will complement our earnings(foreign earnings, remember) will take time. Those complements include agriculture and maybe mining. In the context of the question asked him about falling oil prices. He is saying what will IMMEDIATELY help our economy is to STABILIZE the MARKET. As at the time/period of the interview(Dec 2014), global oil price was dropping like a pack of cards. In that context, starting mining or throwing in agriculture will not give immediate results or save our economy. What will save our economy according to the video is stabilizing the oil market. What did he mean by that? To be exact, i will type Buhari verbatim. Buhari explained his answer and context clearly by saying "... stop wastages from top to bottom, so that whatever revenue is realised is judiciously applied to the economic development of the country. But without bringing discipline into the accountability, I'm afraid that even if the oil PRICE goes back to good old days of over $100 per barrel, we cannot see the difference. If we look at from 1999 till date, what Nigeria realized in terms of in-flow of foreign exchange, Nigeria never received it since amalgamation. " What he has said is the truth.
i'm not sure he said that military regimes did NO HARM to Nigeria. He simply made his point by insisting that the democratic administrations have been no better. And it is true. There is nothing significant that our democratic administrations have done that the military administrations did not do. Our best universities, roads, bridges, hospitals, refineries, airports, railways were all built by the military administrations. These are the things that many people are wailing about on social media and on TV that the GEJ administration has done/achieved. Some even mention soccer nations cup as part of democracy achievement, it's ludicrous. i remember listening to Chief MKO Abiola during his 1993 presidential debate recently. He was talking about technology, and about how ITT made a proposal as far back as 1975 to produce technology equipment in Nigeria. He said that nothing significant was done about it until 1984 when it was agreed on and signed. 1984 is the Buhari administration. Babangida took over and shelved it until March 1993, just before the June elections. We all know what happened till date. We just got GSM in 99/2000 and we are still fluctuating with network. Point is that they(military and democracy) have both had their good and their bad sides. Leadership is not about being of military background or democratic background. It is like having two staff, one from the University and one from technical school. Are we going to be rating their performance and appraisals on the job or on their schools? It should be on the job of course. The present administration has not demonstrated that much needed leadership, never have we had a presidency synonymously and perpetually referred to as kindergaten and clueless. Something is wrong somewhere, and the chief reason i personally gave up on this current administration is the FAILURE to see that something is wrong. This is not positive confession or Good people great nation mantra. Repeating transformation transformation does not blind me to the reality on ground in this country. If we have made any progress, it has being at snail speed and mostly not really a result of government policies/decisions but because of who we are as a nation(intelligent and blessed) and our population strength.

It is biased and unfair to say that buhari is the exactly the same person he was 30yrs ago. Nobody is the same person he was 30yrs ago, not you, not me, not President Jonathan, not Buhari. Buhari was 40+ years old and a military man. President Jonathan had no PhD then i guess, neither was he nursing any ideas of being President. Have you listened to Buhari recently? Are his campaigns about the things you have said?
In the GEJ administration, we have not had the FOI, we do not have access to his assets or his PhD thesis or the PwC reports about NNPC. That is what press freedom is about. Under this democracy, we have seen the disenfranchisement of many citizens due to harrassment of citizens at the Osun and Ekiti state gubernatorial elections by the unnecessary influx of military personnel on election day, not to mention the Mbu case in Rivers state and the teargassing and shutout of lawmakers just recently. Go and see the poor people and many innocent people in police custody, SARS custody and co and see Human rights abuse like hell. Human rights is not just for rich people and popular people like politicians. When you talk about massive retrenchment and job loss, i wonder where you verified those figures you gave. By the way, the economy had already collapsed from the Shagari government, job loss was not as a result of Buhari's government but Shagari's and it was not to that tune. Buhari's economic plan did not fail, and he paid all our foreign debts as agreed and as at when due. Also, the era's judgement was not selective but based on what they thought was proof.

They will never hold power, never, if we can decide with our last blood and end that monopoly govt in Lagos state, we won't have to face such delusional selected development deployed by fashiola and his cronies in the name of megaccity. 160billion still cannot achieve anything light rail. Shame

THE OTHER QUESTION YOU COULD ASK IS ;

IF GEJ IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH,

IS BHUARI A BETTER OPTION?

YOU WILL THEN SEE THE BIAS AND IGNORANCE OF THE OP.

If for whatever reason we think GEJ is not good , are you saying BHUARI, a 72years old grandfather is our best option?

Where are the youths, Fashola, Oshiomhole, Okorocha and Kwankwaso and the 40-50years or you want us to recycle old 70 something years old.

Bhuari age is not really the problem but the age of his ideas and vision , they are antique and completely outdated.

i do not think the question is IF GEJ is not good enough. He has being evaluated already and is not good enough. He himself said it, that if he could not do something in 4years, then he cannot do it even in 100years. The test before us has just two options, President Jonathan and Buhari. i think Buhari is a better option. What do you think are the ideas and visions of Buhari? How are they completely outdated or antique? Buhari's idea is that we should not rely too much on oil only, that corruption should not be allowed to thrive, that our country should not be insecure and taken over by riff-raff Boko Haram, that there should be more job creation than what we currently, that our coal industry, mining refineries should work. Are those antique ideas or completely outdated ideas? What is wrong with Buhari's age?
From the OP, i am very sure that Buhari will not embarrass Nigeria with statements such as seen by the current President, neither will he make such outrageous unbelievable moves/inactions as the incumbent.
-President Jonathan indeed shocked Nigerians with the news that Boko haram has taken control of 6 towns in 4 LGA’s the height of incompetence in balkanizing the Nigerian state, a week later, Nigerians were blown away by series of austerity measures handed to them. This is very true.
-The President of the Federal republic of Nigeria used a militant Asari Dokubo for black market gun running, evident from the grounding and seizure of over $10m by the South African authorities. This is true and Buhari will not do this.
-Boko haram declaring a caliphate on Nigerian Soil, Gentlemen and Ladies, Jonathan Has once again made a history of Incompetence. Never in the history of Nigeria have we ceded territories to bandits. This happened.
-Since August 2012, when the Ebola outbreak began, The Nigerian govt had no single emergency response plan in place.
$11m emergency fund and N480m budgeted for the control of infectious diseases in the 2013 budget never got to the Lagos state government, the Nigerian Ebola Epicenter. Very true.
-we saw the worst abuse of his Royal majesties powers when he barred APC Governors from attending a rally in Ekiti state with soldiers, meanwhile Boko Haram is still having a field day in the North.
The senate revealed to Nigerians how the president Mis appropriated over 685b kerosene subsidy fund. All these happened, it is just last year.
-Jonathan, who was asked to comment on the allegations of corrupt practices leveled against some of his ministers, had said that nobody was above mistakes and that if he were to be acting based on reports on each of them, “no one will stay for more than six months in office. And he offered amnesty to terrorists, all these are true.
-April 2014: reminded us the climax of Jonathan’s administration where he went on a jamboree while book haram held over 200 young girls, hostage,
April never ended before the Dizeani madueke’s 10billion naira scam reached a climax. The pictures are still vivid in memory, these happened.
- just before the centenary celebration where Abacha of all people was a beneficiary, scores of Innocent school children were murdered in Adamawa sate. Who does not remember this?
-The illegal suspension of the CBN Gov.at a time the nation was in dire need of foreign direct investment,a presidential committee was set up to investigate the October scandal of stella odua who came with a guilty verdict, yet she kept her job. All these happened.
-President Jonathan took a record breaking 600 men entourage for the UN General assembly in New york

After the billions of dollars spent in revamping the nation’s airports, skytrax world airport ranking for Africa showed Nigeria didn’t make it to top 10 in Africa neither did it make it top 100th place in the world. Whereas Ethiopia and Mauritania made it to position 9th and 8th respectively, what a shame. This happened, right? And on and on like that. Even these alone are enough, not to mention the infamous embarrassment from his wife or the world famous interview with CNN's Amanpour where he was glibly saying "that is not correct" when facts were being presented to him, or him telling Obama to come and fix Nigeria. Or is it his re-election campaign gaffes like "how much did Jim Nwobodo stole", talks about others not buying one rifle, "If I arrest all corrupt Nigerians, who will be left to run the country?", telling women they are not designed to pound yam, "First lady does not spend government money", "A time will come in Nigeria that there will be no single prison", "People compare common stealing to corruption", "Crises in all developing countries would continue, whether at primary school level or tertiary school level", "You journalists even know more than us" and his blatant refusal to address Nigerians directly concerning any Boko Haram attack.

I like the fact that you have an open mind, You are indeed a rare germ amongst the vast majority of Buhari's supporters i've engaged in a proper discussion.

I totally agree with you that someone in 1983 isn't the same person in 2015, But even in medicine there is something called "Patients History "
doesn't mean if your parents are diabetics you also will be diabetic but the chances are High.
Yes I have listened to Buhari's speeches lately and it is worries me that He doesn't understand the fact that He's in the opposition and needs to use every single opportunity to woo voters over rather than banking on "religious" support.
For instant @ rallies, You'll only speak for few minutes mostly under 5 minutes and say, We'll tackle insecurity, corruption, unemployment, not actually telling us How?

I watched President Obama and any chance He had to debate He used it,
Instead with the General, "These guys are compromised, these ones are pdp, these ones are anti-APC" Nigerians were looking forward to the debate but as a "General " You are probably above the masses and not answerable to no one, The case of the WASC Certificate is a serious concern, as a Man of integrity ("Like the popular scarce face movie funny it was in 1983 also "I only got two things in this world my balls and my word and I don't break them for nobody!- Tony Montana"wink Rather than posting us to several places, just ask Cambridge to release the results..
i'm sure you probably still remember your WASC number, but You don't know where the certificate itself is.

You call what happened in Ekiti and Osun unnecessary? Well @ least APC won in Osun, there was a need to guide the electoral process, APC is also into rigging. I won't like to comment on Mr. Mbu and Rivers State, Mbu is now incharge of Lagos region, let's see how it goes, The lawmakers wanted to cause trouble, If the police should barricade an area what's the right thing to do?? Jump the fence??
You talk of SARS, but do you remember Operation Flush, Swift and co?? Even in US we still have false convictions etc, But the fact that someone can be held without trail even when you do not have a case against Him/Her, is grave INJUSTICE!!! I posted the link where I got those figures from, Buhari's government change the colour of the naira note, it had a lot of consequences, and blocked the border because of that, please do some research on that.
So You mean Shagari deserved House arrest while Ekueme deserved to be in Kirikiri?

Sure the Chadians have joined the fight to AID Cameroon, and yes they did kick ass acting as a blocking force in Gamboru-gala. But care to explain the massacre that just occurred in Fotokol, Cameroon, the main operations base of the Chadians? The Chadians just had their post overrunned by 7000 BH militants, while the Nigerian Army not only defended Maiduguri, but recaptured Gwoza (capital of the caliphate), Bama, Baga, and are currently laying seige on Sambisa. Yet you have the audacity to come here and spew trash? You MUST be stupid.

According to the Chadian commander yesterday, Fotokol was under the control of the Cameroonian BIU at the time, the Chadians are yet to be deployed there.

Fotokol was a resupply base for BH so they (Chadians) least expected it to be attacked so soon reason for the late deployment, I hope you remembered that 4days before the attack, the Cameroonian authorities started a massive evacuation of residents, same cannot be said of Nigerians who have suffered a similar fate, at least for the areas captured so far, it could have been worse, thanks to the pro active thinking of the Cameroonian authorities.

If I were you, I will wait for the Chadians to launch their counter offensive before we draw appraisals, like you confessed, the Chadians are damn good at what they do.

Haven said that, the competent Nigerian Army has ceedeed territories so much that BH is so emboldened to try their luck on Maiduguri twice, which could have been the beginning of the end for all of us, considering the fact that Maiduguri is home to most displaced persons from other restive areas and seat of Government.

We also know that not until the Arrival of the Chadians and their French surveillance aircraft and intelligence support, those ceedeed territories are already off the Nigerian map, so we know who is really doing a good job.


We also know that Baga the MNJTF head Quarters of Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon fell the moment Chad and Cameroon withdrew their troops, just out of curiosity, why did we loose that base? could it be because the warriors just left or we are not upto the task of holding the front at the exit of the warriors? #just thinking aloud#

FELLOW NIGERIANS, IS THIS THE PRESIDENT YOU DESERVE?

May the Judgment of God not befall us and our families if with our votes we deliberately return a Govt of Hunger, corruption and death to the Nigerian people. Kindly distribute through your BBM and Whatsapp contacts, enough is enough!!



November 2014, Jonathan shocked Nigerians with the news that Boko haram has taken control of 6 towns in 4 LGA’s the height of incompetence in balkanizing the Nigerian state, a week later, Nigerians were blown away by series of austerity measures handed to them for their stupidity in 2011.

The naira was devalued at the pretext of drop in oil prices but Nigerians never asked why the Naira never appreciated when the oil price was increasing?
If the foreign reserve were not stolen, Nigeria would have weathered the storm for at least 6months like we did during the global melt down of 2004 and 2008, unfortunately, the incompetence of the Jonathan administration has brought grave consequence on the Nigerian people, Inflation and high cost of energy are likely consequences.

According to Will Ross of the BBC “He said he hoped a parliamentary investigation would also find out why the country's Excess Crude Account had fallen from $11.5bn to under $2.5bn in a year - arguing that Nigeria's savings are a vital buffer against any drop in the global oil price and without this "rainy day" account, the economy is vulnerable and exposed.

October 2014; Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria uses a militant Asari Dokubo for black market gun running, evident from the grounding and seizure of over $10m by the South African authorities.
September, 2014, The Nigerian Government admitted ferrying over $10m in a private jet for arms procurement, where do we draw the line between money laundering and arms procurement? I asked myself about the recent helos that was delivered by Russia recently if it was purchased in the same manner, agree with me or not, Jonathan is neck deep not just in corruption but money laundering.

August 2014: As a result of the unabated corruption in the Nigerian Military, Mutiny of July gave rise to Boko haram declaring a caliphate on Nigerian Soil, Gentlemen and Ladies, Jonathan Has once again made a history of Incompetence. Never in the history of Nigeria have we ceded territories to bandits.


July 2014: saw a president who went to sleep while neighboring West African countries battled with the Ebola virus, his negligence paid off when Patrick Sawyer brought the deadly virus to Nigeria unabated. Since August 2012, when the Ebola outbreak began, The Nigerian govt had no single emergency response plan in place.
$11m emergency fund and N480m budgeted for the control of infectious diseases in the 2013 budget never got to the Lagos state government, the Nigerian Ebola Epicenter.
Still in June, we saw the worst abuse of his Royal majesties powers when he barred APC Governors from attending a rally in Ekiti state with soldiers, meanwhile Boko Haram is still having a field day in the North.
The senate revealed to Nigerians how the president Mis appropriated over 685b kerosene subsidy fund


May 2014: [/b]left us with this shocking statement
“Jonathan, who was asked to comment on the allegations of corrupt practices leveled against some of his ministers, had said that nobody was above mistakes and that if he were to be acting based on reports on each of them, “no one will stay for more than six months in office.” [b]Mere stealing we call corruption"

Still in the same month after the corrupt tales of embezzlement and diversion of military budget, the clueless one finally offered Amnesty to a terrorist group, the first of its kind, in the world.
An Indication that the Jonathan’s administration is run by a den of thieves.

April 2014: reminded us the climax of Jonathan’s administration where he went on a jamboree while book haram held over 200 young girls, hostage,
April never ended before the Dizeani madueke’s 10billion naira scam reached a climax.

March 2014: just before the centenary celebration where Abacha of all people was a beneficiary, scores of Innocent school children were murdered in Adamawa sate.

Feb 2014: saw the illegal suspension of the CBN Gov.at a time the nation was in dire need of foreign direct investment, the Kidnap of the president’s foster father is a realistic score card on his strides on security.
January 2014, a presidential committee was set up to investigate the October scandal of stella odua who came with a guilty verdict, yet she kept her job.

December 2013: ushered the yuletide of Obasanjo’s “before it is too late”, several corruption allegations and the extremism of the Jonathan’s administration, the impunity of plundering the people’ s common wealth and the tenacity of talking drums like Abati who have earned a reputation in insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians.10 bullet proof vehicles purchased by DICON for its top brass

November 2013: the CBN Governor raised an alarm that under Jonathan’s watch, the NNPC diverted $49billion dollars, fellow Nigerians, are we not tired of condoning corruption?

October 2013: ushered a month of corruption coronation in Jonathan’s camp, where the Aviation minister coerced the NCAA to purchase 2 fairly used armored 2008 BMW to the tune of $800,000 each.

September 2013: President Jonathan took a record breaking 600 men entourage for the UN General assembly in New york

August 2013: After the billions of dollars spent in revamping the nation’s airports, skytrax world airport ranking for Africa showed Nigeria didn’t make it to top 10 in Africa neither did it make it top 100th place in the world. Whereas Ethiopia and Mauritania made it to position 9th and 8th respectively, what a shame.

July 2013: transparency international rated Nigeria as the 8th most corrupt country in the world.

June 2013: World Bank appraised him thus;

“Nevertheless, improvements in social welfare indicators have been much slower than would be expected in the context of this growth. Poverty reduction and job creation have not kept pace with population growth, implying social distress for an increasing number of Nigerians. Progress toward the fulfillment of many of the Millennium Development Goals has been slow, and the country ranked 153 out of 186 countries in the 2013 United Nations Human Development Index” the World Bank said.



May 2013: The president after wasting tax payer’s money on an entourage as long as the third mainland bridge went sleeping while his foreign affairs minister represented him in his presence during the AU summit in Addis ababa.
Just outside President Goodluck Jonathan's office sat 17 ambulances, just in case he or one of his aides fell ill. They were seldom if ever used.

No actual health-care facility nationwide had as many, and in fact a few still have none at all. But as soon as a Nigerian newspaper took a photo of the ambulances and published a story about them, they suddenly disappeared -- probably to an underground garage.

March, 2013: we witnessed the height of moral bankruptcy when Mr President granted presidential pardon to the biggest criminal in the history of our democracy, Alamesigha to prepare him for a senatorial seat.

February 2013: amidst the short fall in crude prices, the president smuggled into the 2013 budget a 2bn appropriation fund for the office of the first lady

February 2013: the office of the presidency denied vehemently that the first lady was on vacation in Germany only for them to organize a survival party with tax payer’s money. Is this the kind of leader you want to hold to his words?

In January 2013: the erst while madam due process and former minister for education challenged the charlatans of jonathans’ administration to a debate on accountability of $67b as expected, honorable cowards and pen thieves, absconded as usual


November 2012: President Jonathan approved 2.2bn naira for the construction of a banquet hall in the villa. At a time our debt profile was all time high

As commander in chief, he stood dumb while a military helicopter was used for "kabu-kabu" at oronto douglas father’s burial that error in judgment alone claimed the life of a sitting Governor. and the most brilliant NSA Nigeria has ever produced.

October 2012: blatantly refusing to appeal the ICJ’s decision on ceding bakassi, thereby throwing Millions of Bakkasi indigenes into pandemonium

refusing to cut down on foreign trips and cost of Governance, contrary to his Nationwide address of 7th Jan 2012.


October 2012: Mr president’s administration spent 1.5 billion to patch the 3rd mainland bridge, 4 months later, triple of that amount was expended again on maintenance alone, Talk about waste and incompetence

August 2012 : He said our foreign reserve is 42billion usd , is that not only on iweala's notepad?
How can you have external debt of 48bn usd and come home to deceive us that we have reserves?
How much services that 48bn plus interest annually? Nearly 25% of 48bn.


August 2012: Under his watch militants earn 10% of the Nation's revenue, $22.5m, $9m and $12.5m for tompolo, Ateke and Asari as national honors.

He twisted facts during the Independence Day speech on his fight on corruption, in contrast to what the transparency international claimed.
By august 2012, 2012 budget implementation was just 13%

over 5, ooo Nigerian lives gone, Mr president is still trading words and negotiating with boko haram, we remain grateful that a quasi state of emergency came to be, at least I cant imagine an SOE where the State Govs sit tight to control state funds while the FG fight their battle.

July 2012: its 3yrs gone and he is yet to commission from scratch a new power plant worst still fired the only human being in his cabinet who knows his onions in the power sector.

July 2012: Mr President earned a congratulatory message for implementing local content policy by importing 200 luxury brands at the cost of over 13.5 million each for a 4 day first ladies summit. While our manufacturing industries beg for patronage.

June 2012: Almost all teaching hospitals in Nigeria have no functional dialysis machine, the most sought of this equipment cost just 5m naira. Statistics has it that more than 60,000 Nigerians die yearly of a kidney related ailment, however, he jets out with his cohorts to seek medical help elsewhere.

ferma is seriously patching federal highways with a budget of over 80 billion naira, there is no coordination between, the MND, NDDC and Federal ministry of works on road maintenance, same contract is awarded over and over before the job is done.

JUNE 2012: Under his watch, the giant of oil and gas reserves is undergoing its worst energy crisis in the world.

tanker drivers alone can cripple his supply network as they wish not to talk of ordinary Niger republic coming to our rescue via imports.

In case you have not heard, Nigeria is very close to Afghanistan on security progress under Jonathan's watch.

June 2012: Education is in crisis. With adult literacy at 57 per cent, overall illiteracy at 66 per cent and more than 10 million out of the 30 million children of primary school age not in school, no serious government should be comfortable. When 40 million adults in a population of 170 million are illiterate, the country is ranked 161 out of 180 countries in the United Nations Comparative Index of Literacy 2012, and has an unemployment rate of 23.7 per cent,
it’s no longer news that only 26% of school leavers gain admission into the universities and only 5% are employed after school thanks to ASUU’s 6 months strike.

June 2012: Mr president’s economic blind men have blessed us with all time high of 37.5% inflation though his mickey mouse cbn governor is still claiming 28%, wondering what he will be claiming now that all bankers are at home, naira devalued, unemployment on the rise etc He still maintains a single digit inflation on paper, I dey laugh.


Mr president is the only Nigerian president that has not initiated a successful programme even Abacha did better with ptf while IBB with FSP and MAMSA, Mr president is still confused with ''YOU WIN''and SURE-P, with zero benefit to the Nigerian people.
on that same vein, Nigeria has the second record high job cuts within the last 2yrs, if in doubt ask the bankers and manufacturing industries.
before his ascension into power, the naira was in a sorry state of 150 to 1 dollar today, Jonathan has handed us an unstable 182 to 1 dollar

June 2012: The dana crash is a testimony that Mr president’s aviation is comatose, not even the attorney general could challenge the allegations of the dana staff in court, in a national disaster of that magnitude?
The girl could have served as a prime witness in a class action against dana
Less than 6months of inconclusive investigations, DANA air hit the Tarmac again.

Still on military, Nigeria has the most under educated junior military officers, before you ask how, Mr president is too lazy to ask him self why imo with highest national examination enrollments still have the least NDA and police academy enrollments, while borno and zamfara as educationally less privileged, have higher quota than Delta and Anambra put together in military enrollments. Nepotism and corruption at its best
Mr President is the only head of state in the world whose wife is a ministry of its own.



January 2012: Under Mr president’s watch, a 250bilion subsidy programme rose to 2 trillion naira yet no arrest, no conviction, no sack, the best miserable Nigerians could get was an AWOL attorney general after 7days of protests. Height of incompetence and corruption.

Mr President is the only president in the world whose parliament gulps 75% of the national budget as alleged by the CBN Gov. yet they still soak themselves in $625m bribery scandal.
Jonathan has not even initiated let alone fulfilling a single campaign promises except the one that he needs to surround himself with brain dead women in his cabinet.


Nigerians say thank you Sir, for your 6 wasted years of leadership.
Are illiterate like this still in existence in this country... People who look for their neighbours to blame unlawfully for their misfortunes, God deliver you.
All your points are erroneous and galvanised with hatred and lies... Open your eyes @op and stop pooh talks because Nigerians are bless and must discover all... No government is perfect but you have shown your rate of stupidity, no wonder you are also looking for another blind man to take you and your family (not Nigeria) to the abyss.
Our president is slow in decision making, yes. But his decisions are vital and productive, that's a quality of a man and not an angry bird who is spontaneous and prone to errors, you can only understand this if you have a family.
Prove what his predecessors have done that he hasn't surpass?
pls Nigerians let's be sincere, God in His infinite mercy will never let us, Nigerians down because His compassion must holler and be bestowed on us this time once again.

pekeyim:

I like the fact that you have an open mind, You are indeed a rare germ amongst the vast majority of Buhari's supporters i've engaged in a proper discussion.

I totally agree with you that someone in 1983 isn't the same person in 2015, But even in medicine there is something called "Patients History "
doesn't mean if your parents are diabetics you also will be diabetic but the chances are High.
Yes I have listened to Buhari's speeches lately and it is worries me that He doesn't understand the fact that He's in the opposition and needs to use every single opportunity to woo voters over rather than banking on "religious" support.
For instant @ rallies, You'll only speak for few minutes mostly under 5 minutes and say, We'll tackle insecurity, corruption, unemployment, not actually telling us How?

I watched President Obama and any chance He had to debate He used it,
Instead with the General, "These guys are compromised, these ones are pdp, these ones are anti-APC" Nigerians were looking forward to the debate but as a "General " You are probably above the masses and not answerable to no one, The case of the WASC Certificate is a serious concern, as a Man of integrity ("Like the popular scarce face movie funny it was in 1983 also "I only got two things in this world my balls and my word and I don't break them for nobody!- Tony Montana"wink Rather than posting us to several places, just ask Cambridge to release the results..
i'm sure you probably still remember your WASC number, but You don't know where the certificate itself is.

You call what happened in Ekiti and Osun unnecessary? Well @ least APC won in Osun, there was a need to guide the electoral process, APC is also into rigging. I won't like to comment on Mr. Mbu and Rivers State, Mbu is now incharge of Lagos region, let's see how it goes, The lawmakers wanted to cause trouble, If the police should barricade an area what's the right thing to do?? Jump the fence??
You talk of SARS, but do you remember Operation Flush, Swift and co?? Even in US we still have false convictions etc, But the fact that someone can be held without trail even when you do not have a case against Him/Her, is grave INJUSTICE!!! I posted the link where I got those figures from, Buhari's government change the colour of the naira note, it had a lot of consequences, and blocked the border because of that, please do some research on that.
So You mean Shagari deserved House arrest while Ekueme deserved to be in Kirikiri?


Thank You.


Show me one country in the world where the opposition give in details its solution to the incumbent, just mention one?

At the time Obama campaigned for change, he promised to withdraw American troops from Iraq, did he say how?did he tell you that he has located Osama and for a year 8months the Seal team 6 are making preparations for the hit? did you know that?
Did he tell you that Osama's Abottabad residence has been under surveillance for over a year?
He promised to neutralize the sleeping cells of terror as a global challenge did he tell you how? After the death of Osama no single retaliation on American soil or interests abroad, did he tell you how he did it?

He promised health care to 80% of the American population, did he say how? Did he tell you during the elections about the chip they want to use to access health care?

Second term; Obama promised to expand America's Energy interest, did he tell Mc cain of shale oil boom? did he tell him his Russian, Iran, Saudi Arabian plans of rendering OPEC useless?

The Brazilian opposition took over from the incumbent and in their first term the Brazilian economy was so robust to join the BRICS, why did the opposition not divulge it to the incumbent?

What about the strides of the Indian opposition?

How about the present govt of Rouhani of Iran, did he tell Ahmadinejad his strategy of lifting western sanctions to better their economy did he? guess you know Obama is fighting with the republican congress because of Rouhani's diplomatic successes.

What you guys ask from the opposition is totally unrealistic.

What we as electorates have is the right to hire and fire every four years by dissecting the pedigree of the actors whether incumbent or aspiring, you don't have the right to ask anyone to give you his ideas free.

It doesn't happen in any part of the world and Buhari is not stvpid to oblige you that.

I equally watched President Jonathan's interview with Isha Seesay of CNN, Jonathan was asked thrice "Mr President what do you stand for?" Mr president had no answer to that question, that question was repeated thrice yet our PhD wielding president had no answer to that simple question, not until it was degenerating to an embarrassing turf, Seesay skipped that part.

Fast forward to Dec last year when Jonathan granted NTA an interview, he automatically became a genius, could you believe that he actually quoted in figures the tonnage of fertilizers distributed to farmers so far, can you beat that? I needed no Juju to tell me that this man have studied this question before hand, is it the charade you want to see in the name of debating?

If Jonathan knew he would love me to watch him debate in 2015, why has he not overhauled the transmission network of PHCN in 6yrs?
If OBJ could launch the NIPP of $16b, to build plants that are set to generate 15,000mw of electricity, why is Jonathan dragging his feet to over haul transmission which is the only challenge we have and probably, the gas pipping networks?
This second phase if far cheaper than the first phase yet over $20b was stolen under his watch. Haven't we suffered enough?
Just like Soludo said, there is no Iroko in Jonathan's forest of achievements, now this is what it means.

When you mention OBJ, NIPP, New NAFDAC, EFCC, Consolidation, Privatization, PSC, UBE, GSM all come to mind, this is a government that messed up big time but still left an Iroko in its forest of achievements,

when you mention Jonathan, all you hear is Sub standard trains, nothing more, is that all you deserve in 6yrs? where are Jonathan's "Iroko"?
resurfacing airports that Skytrax does not agree with? or surfacing roads? or fighting with Amaechi? where is the "Iroko" of this administration? You win, and sure P? grin

You mentioned holding people in detention without trial, it is very wrong, the 1999 constitution was what stipulated 48hrs maximum, if there should be an extension it should be granted by the court to enable the police conclude their investigations.

During Buhari's regime, human rights records were generally low, world over including the united states, the United states historians till date have not unanimously agreed that Oswald killed John F Kennedy, which crime is higher than killing a serving president of the United states? that will give you an insight to the inefficiencies at the time, 1964 was exactly 20yrs before Buhari in an underdeveloped African country, why are you expecting Buhari's 1984 to be perfect and efficient?

It is appalling when people use the phrase "unlawful detention" to cast aspersion on Buhari, "decree 4" was the law and it said the secret police can detain till investigations are concluded, so what is unlawful about that? whether it is morally right, my answer is a big NO, but when I pick my history books I see that it was the life that was obtainable at the time.

Political prisoners don't have much luxury of Justice world over at the time, let us start with the actor, Buhari, after he was ousted by IBB, he faced 3yrs incarceration without trial.

Lets go to south Africa, Under the Apartheid government, Nelson Mandela was detained for 5yrs out of the total 27yrs he spent in prison.

In Singapore, Chia thye Poh has this outstanding history "Detained under the Internal Security Act of Singapore for allegedly conducting pro-communist activities against the government, he was imprisoned for 23 years without charge or trial [/b]and subsequently placed under conditions of house arrest for another nine years – in which he was first confined to the island of Sentosa and then subject to [b]restrictions on his place of abode, employment, travel, and exercise of political rights.....wikki



In Europe the Father of human rights, recorded this event in history, Muhammetguly Aymuradov, the longest-serving political prisoner in Turkmenistan, has been released after serving more than 14 years in jail,

Even United states under the watch of Amnesty international is still unlawfully detaining suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, some of the suspects have been detained for over a year without trial, and it is happening in this our generation let alone the 80's.

Do not misconstrue my intentions of digging out these historical events, I am in no way in support of human right abuse, however, demonizing Buhari on that grounds without pointing to the fact that such was the world they lived in is misleading.

About Ekwueme and Shagari, Buhari admitted that even though his Government has usurped Shagari's government, as a sitting president of Nigeria, he deserved some respect. you are looking at the small picture, do you know what it means to place a president on any type of arrest? a serving president with all his luxury and state apparatchik?

At the time President Morsi of Egypt was ousted by the military, he was never thrown to prison till an interim successor came on board, all the while he was in detention, he was placed under house arrest.

Let me quickly remind you that the office of a president is an "INSTITUTION" not a "PERSON" in fighting corruption, you don't treat a serving president with disdain, else you will be making a mockery of the office you are occupying, it is the practice world over and Buhari knew that, it is no selective justice, Shagari was lucky to have been the president at the time.
Why do you think that the 1999 constitution has an "immunity clause" for serving heads of state?
It is called "presidential privilege" because it is not easy to be one.

Not as if I like Buhari, but as far as it's not Jonathan again, it's okay with me. Between two evils, I've decided to chose the one which I think is lesser - General Muhammadu Buhari.

Jonathan sounded & acted so pathetic initially. I had pity on him. Again, I thought he was a good man intrinsically. I still do think he is a good man, but that's not enough to be a leader. To be a good leader, you have to be agile, intelligent, strong-willed; you need to be hard & ruthless when need be.
Jonathan is by far a weak administrator. He isn't fit for that post. He lets himself to be pushed around too much, forgetting that he alone takes all the blame.

Nigeria is too rough & tough for just diplomacy. Nigeria needs more of action. And Jonathan is not the man to bring that to this country. I've lost confidence in him. I think we should give Buhari a chance. smiley

A head of state and commander in chief who sees it as wrong, who sees it is a threat to national security viz fighting Boko haram will rewrite that wrong, a clueless Commander in chief not knowing the implications will wish it away.
By the way, the AU has contracted Chad to do the job that Jonathan neglected for 4yrs.
I rather vote the president of chad than vote for Jonathan.
LOL. I don't know whether some people forget everything that happened the previous day on the sight of a new one. Firstly, Nigeria has been the one calling for a better and stronger multinational force with its neighbour right from the beginning of the insurgency. Have you forgotten when Nigeria did everything possible for our neighbours to see the dangers of not supporting our action. So what AU just did was stamping what we wanted all along. Their is no need arguing with you because it would not change your programmed mind, so vote who you want and it is your fundamental right. Atleast this government would not deprive you of that compared to those who deprived us of this basic right but they still want to enjoy the dividend of democracy.

Well, you can counter the OP's arguments with GEJ's achievements in office. Tell us how Nigerians lives has improved in the past 6years, show us the reduction in queues in foreign embassies, show us how the power sector has improved, lecture us on how the security issues has improved in the past 6 years instead of lame responses.

First of all you have to note that the president will not come and force anybody to labour and fend for him or her self. That been said.

There has been a tremendous turnaround in the agricultural sector of this nation since Jonathan regime. Before now farming was seen as a poor man business but today it's a different story.
When I was in school, from primary to university there have been epileptic power supply in different parts of the country but today though we can't boast of 24hours power but we all know that it's "7 up".
What of educational system in Nigeria that was almost dead, hence the trooping in of private schools all over the country. Not only is his regime building new schools but making government school teachers feel proud of the profession.
What of the road he has embarked on constructing and or repairing. The Nigeria railway has never functioned for so many decades, but in his single stay in the office he has brought it from the pit that the past presidents has put it in and is lifting the sector high than every other transportation systems in this nation.

You still want more?

OK on more.


You say he is weak, that he can't fight boko haram? Let me ask you one thing, the alright USA, that I know you are praying to be a citizen of, searched for bin laden for 10 years before they take him out, but yet his boys still dey. ISIS has been terrorising for years now, USA plus other nations has not been able to take them out and they are claiming territories. But our president has fought boko haram not to a halt now but has paralysed them seriously.

So what exactly is your point? call yourself giant of Africa at home, run to New york to seek assistance, then Paris to finalize the MNJTF deal right? with ordinary Chad, Niger and Cameroon abi?
How about sending your boys to contain the threat and entertain them with medals?

In 1997 when the president of Sierra Leone Alhaji Ahmad Tejan Kabbah was ousted, neither by rag tag militia nor rag tag terrorists, but dissidents factions in his professional military, armed to the teeth and led by Major Johnny-Paul Koromah,
Nigeria under ECOMOG stepped in, after nine days offensive, our boys came home with victory, it might interest you to note that the inauguration of president Kabbah was Abacha's last foreign trip.

On the streets of Freetown, Nigeria was once again revered as the true giant of Africa, now, that was the military Jonathan inherited, what is he leaving behind? a Military that runs to Chad for help, Chad whose @rse we kicked real bad in 1978? or Cameroon that we stationed our military on the Bakassi peninsular for over 14yrs and they couldn't cough?
please don't provoke me, if you don't love this country, I do.
Jonathan is an irredeemable failure, no amount of PR can package charcoal to become macleans.

My dear if you are European then I ask you this question, will you allow a man that believes in bloodshed, that does not have a strategy for governing a nation (imaging tell us that that he will stabilise oil price), that plotted coup and overthrow a democratic government, that kills mercilessly both men and women despite your age, a stack illiterate but to mention a few to be president of your country.
