Firefire:


Government policy that does not favor her indigenous company is worthless.

Compare GEJ policies of promoting made in Nigeria and ensuring all his children remain in Nigerian schools and the "Super Clueless" president who is selling Nigeria wholesale to China and his children flying 1st Class to the UK.

Making a real business man super rich is better than selling your people as a cheap labor.

Is that not worth being credited ?

May God continue to bless Dr. Goodluck Jonathan,

Oh Nigeria, may your deliverance from your stupidity come quickly, may the heavens rise to deliver you from the coven of APC witchcraft.

Kainene77:
One question Mr Ex-President, where is the money that was made when the economy was booming? Where are the savings that would help Nigeria and Nigerians make it through the rainy days?

Why did other governments build up reserves, why didn't you?

I am not sure who is more clueless, you or Buhari but you have this in common, cluelessness.

jamesibor:


Ask your state governor what he did with your state's share.

BetaThings:

Irrelevant

We are asking presidents here - Jonathan and Buhari
You too are not asking your governor, you are asking Buhari

seliaju:
Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Nigerians are missing you

Former president, Goodluck Jonathan yesterday touched on some of the legacies of his administration while speaking to Friends of Africa Coalition on “Strengthening Democracy and Elections” at the mayor’s office in Newark, New Jersey, United States.

Speaking to the elite group, Jonathan said the 2015 general elections in Nigeria had potential for major crisis and that the campaigns leading to the elections almost polarised the country into Christian v Muslims and North v South divide.

The former president said that most world leaders were worried that the elections would result into major crisis.

“Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls. That is where the leadership question comes into play.

“As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first. How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties? With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through. Indeed, we sailed through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it.

“My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body,” he said.

Jonathan said his strict adherence to the rule of the law ensured that Nigeria’s peace, prosperity and progress were not derailed by the conduct and results of the 2015 elections.

Speaking on the other legacies of his administration, he said: “I am proud to say that while I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World with a GDP of $574 billion.

“I inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again.

I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement. In 2009 the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa.

“These are but a few of the parameters that illustrate some of the economic transformations we engineered during my term in office.”

The former president said this success was made possible by the fact that there was a stable political leadership in Nigeria that did not have to pander to any other constituency except the electorate who brought him to power.

Jonathan also argued that if the process that brought leaders to power “did not flow through the people, they naturally administered their governments to first and foremost serve the constituencies that brought them to power.”

Jonathan also met with the CEO of Moskeeto Armor, Robin R. Crespo and his team as part of events leading up to the World Malaria Day on
April 25th, 2016.

Moskeeto Armor manufactures clothing to protect against malaria, the zika virus, Denue and other vector-borne diseases.

It was successfully clinically field-tested in Nigeria in 2014.

When worn by children as a standalone product, Moskeeto Armor was 90% effective at reducing the malaria infection rate, and when combined with a bed net, the Moskeeto Armor combination was 97% effective at stopping the spread of malaria.

The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation is partnering with Moskeeto Armor to protect African children against malaria and other vector-borne diseases.

“The simple principle of ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself’ lays a foundation of commitment to protecting nations,” said Jonathan during the meeting with Moskeeto Armor.

Continuing, he said “these crises caused by such small insects, transmitting these deadly diseases, have devastated so many lives across Africa and the world, but with one just as small idea, there is hope for a better tomorrow.”

No more chants of sai Baba ,sai buhari or change change

BetaThings:


Not confrontational?
The South West is being ruled by rascals?
Who said it?

National legislators including Tambuwal were teargassed
Okupe promised a law to tackled anyone who calls Jonathan names - is Buhari not being called names?

Not vindictive?
Justice Salami was sacked on a Sunday based on NJC advice. Who did it?
When he was asked by the same NJC to reinstate him, He refused
An unelected official CP Mbu could harass elected Gov Amaechi at will. Who empowered Mbu
Note that Fayose abuses Buhari daily, writes to foreign countries etc -
Did Amaechi abuse Jonathan regularly?

Jonathan formed PDP Gov forum one night
Why?

Opposition newspapers were impounded and vendors beaten up in 2014 under the guise of looking for weapons hidden by terrorists
Why?

During Ekiti elections, members of APC were not allowed to visit
DSS arrested Lai Mohammed during Osun election and Marlyn Ogar justified it saying Lai Mohammed was from Kwara State

Look you cannot legislate amnesia

Jonathan had a cushion based on high crude price
Did Jonathan sell crude at $30 per barrel
Yet he borrowed to pay salaries when oil was selling above $50pb


Elections were conclusive because the likes of Obanikoro and Brig Gen Momoh were on hand to do the needful
7 legislators in Ekiti prevailed over 15 rabn out of town
6 of them wanted to do the same in Rivers

TonyeBarcanista:

Oh Jesus, why is Jonathan just too slow? how is the increase in wealth of Dangote an achievement? I mean so Mexican President would be listing Carlos Slim as his legacy or USA would list Bill Gate? Damn even Obama won't list Mark Zukerburg.

TonyeBarcanista:


I am proudly PDP to the bones but With due respect to Jonathan, his achievement is FOI law, road construction/upgrade and Phone call. Shikena!!!

This doesn't mean that the present occupants of government offices are anyway better.

what he means he made an economy that was favourable to produce the richest man in Africa, by changing Nigeria from a cement importing to a cement exporting Nation.


Even Dangote attested to the fact that Jonathan's economic policies contributed largely to his success

This is bullshit and you know it. It is very funny. So people actually know the value of a good name yet they waste opportunities and destroy people's lives like this nonentity has done?. I cannot point to any single legacy this man achieved.
Everything you point at, Obj started it or the high oil price created the bubble.

He left Nigeria far worse than he met it and if you are honest, this is the truth you should be telling your grandchildren.

Also be honest to tell them that you are only keeping his potrait because he was the first SS/ND/Ijaw president of Nigeria thanks to the vision of Obj and the providence of God but he never achieved anything for his region.
During his reign and after, it was kidnapping, cultism, rape, prostitution thst was the lot of the Niger Delta. Youths were without employnent. The only refineries, fertiliser complexes and power plants were those planned and built by northern military heads of state and Obj. It was the vision of Yaradua that ended the militancy and that your hero was a woman wrapper who was presided over by five other presidents all women
