THE PRESIDENT...

THE PRESIDENT...
Against the background of diverse thoughts and opinions being expressed and proffered by Nigerians at home and in diaspora over the incessant issues confronting his administration, a la socio-economic, political and most especially security, his administration has shown considerable resolve to be fully committed to delivering its Transformation Agenda to Nigerians as promised despite contending distractions.

Of a truth and perhaps arguably, President Goodluck Jonathan has been able to, within a considerable period sustain the country’s continuous transformation process as the diverse Socio-Economic and Political Sectors of the country vis-à-vis: Health-Care, Agriculture, Power generation, Education, Works and Infrastructure, Housing, Roads, Communal Integration, Transportation and the overall shape of the Nation’s Economy is now wearing a New Look!
#Export Raw Materials”.

“It has always been My Principle to build the people to build the Nation, if we do not give something to our Children, they will have nothing to give to the country in the future”, The President said, adding, “we must plan for our children and our grand children by providing quality education for them, what we can leave behind should be children with good education, children with good moral, spiritual and academic upbringing.” He noted that despite the 40 Private Universities complementing states and Federal Universities in the country, Nigeria still needs more Universities to cater for the teeming youths who are seeking for admission into institutions of higher learning.

Contrary to the perception of Nigerians, and since his emergence as the First University Graduate President of the Country on May 29, 2011, President Jonathan’s intellectual capabilities has freely, justifiably and obviously demonstrated him as a most resourceful and intelligent leader; a trait that has in no time, impacted on the socio-economic and political development of Nigeria under his leadership.

Concerning President Goodluck Jonathan’s streams of criticism and his second term bid,
Nigerians should cultivate the culture of appreciating or criticizing President Jonathan with verifiable facts and parameters. Even in the face of turmoil and security challenges, he still remains focused to transforming Nigeria.

He is not only a Visionary, Leader; He's also a Performing Leader!

A ROYAL BACKING 4 JONATHAN; OBA PRESENTS Red "Ododo"

ANOTHER ROYAL BACKING & SUPPORT 4 JONATHAN -OBA OF BENIN Presents Red "Ododo"

VICTORY Assured...

As the hour draws near for another overwhelming Victory, A Royal Endorsement and Support from One of History Most respected Royal Father Omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa1, The Oba of Benin Kingdom, is no doubt a very solid boost for the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan who has done so much beyond the imagination of Opposition.
It's no longer News that endorsements are coming from North, South, East and West in acknowledgement of his good Works; but coming from the Ancient City of Benin is unprecedented and Monumental.

Speaking at a recent outing The Prince explained that the Oba deliberately gave the President the material "Red Ododo" to pass a message. He said it was the highest Benin Traditional Attire and the Oba wore it when he had to go to court. “He wore it and trekked to the court to show he meant business,” Mr. Erediuwa said. “In Benin Kingdom, the “ododo” represents Success and it is a sign of VICTORY. Whoever wears it to the battle field must return home VICTORIOUS.”

Oba ato kpeee, Iseee!!!

BUHARI "VOODOO" PLOY...

By Femi Aribisala

IN all my years of studying elections, I have never seen a campaign as bogus as that of Muhammadu Buhari. It is amazing that, for a man who is running for election as president for a marathon fourth time, Buhari is so bereft of ideas as to how he would do anything if he were to become president. Campaigning in 35 states, Buhari has spoken for a total of less than 60 minutes in all. Surely, he wants to be president; but he clearly has no presidential agenda.
Buhari’s blueprint for the presidency is similar to his Cambridge/WASC certificate; it is yet to be discovered. It is an article of faith of things hoped for by his admirers, the evidence of things neither seen nor articulated. No man becomes president of Nigeria on the basis of vain platitudes. No man becomes president as a result of social media blogs and soundbites. No man becomes president by giving two-minute speeches in craftily-packaged rallies, one minute of which is spent introducing his entourage. 

Empty Promises;
What would Buhari do differently to fight Boko Haram? He would study the situation and restore morale to the military. What would he do to restore the economy? He would increase the international price of oil single-hahnded. What would he do to create jobs? He would build interstate highways in the middle of a drastic slump in Nigeria’s income in order to energise motor-mechanics and bukaterias.
Buhari says: “I will revive and reactivate our minimally performing refineries to optimum capacity.” How does he propose to do this? “I will provide one meal a day for children in public primary schools.” Where is the money to do this? “I will generate, transmit and distribute electricity on a 24/7 basis whilst simultaneously ensuring the development of sustainable/renewable energy by 2019.” Is he now going to nationalise the GENCOS and the DISCOS?
“I will make direct cash transfer of 5,000 naira to the 25 million poorest and most vulnerable citizens, if they immunize children and enrol them in school.” My o my! Did Buhari do the maths before coming out with this pie in the sky? This amounts to a 125 billion naira handout; nearly equal to the entire annual income of Edo State.

Style Without Substance
Goodluck Jonathan’s APC opponents like to denigrate him as “clueless.” But what shall we say of  Muhammadu Buhari, a general who did not know the name of his running-mate; calling him Yemi Osunbade instead of Yemi Osinbajo. Buhari referred to Imo State as Ibo State. In an interview on CNN, he called INEC the Independent Nigerian Electoral Commission. He also called his party the All Progressives Confidence. No wonder President Jonathan observed that Buhari cannot remember his own phone-number.
Let’s face it: General Buhari has become an embarrassment to the APC. He should not be allowed to become a Nigerian embarrassment. An absent-minded old man is not the kind of person we need as president. Electing Buhari amounts to jumping from the frying-pan into the fire.
Buhari’s campaign elevates make-believe over reality. It asserts the primacy of propaganda over commonsense. It proclaims the superiority of fiction over facts. Buhari and the APC need to be told some home-truths. You don’t build roads by attacking Goodluck Jonathan. You don’t create jobs by attacking the PDP. You don’t destroy the Boko Haram by undermining the authority of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. You don’t proclaim a mantra of anti-corruption slogans, while being surrounded and funded by corrupt politicians.
Shouting change changes nothing. Change is championed by the young, and not by a 72 year-old retired soldier receiving cheers from a coterie of dyed-in-the-wool political dinosaurs. How can Buhari represent change from the PDP, when a large chunk of his change-sloganising APC members are poached PDP turncoats? How does Buhari’s endorsement by Obasanjo, a former PDP president, commend him as an agent of change from the PDP?
Counterfeit change
Instead of change, Buhari’s agenda is the “same old same old” of the mundane and the sub-standard. I challenge APC supporters to point out one; just one, single original idea that has emanated from him. The truth is that it does not exist. Buhari is the master of the fluff and the bluster. He will fight corruption, but he cannot say how. He will revive the economy, but cannot say how. He will end the Boko Haram insurgency in no time at all, but he cannot say how.
In effect, Buhari is asking Nigerians to elect him on the basis of some voodoo that he will only concoct after the election. Nigerians should not fall for this ploy. Buhari is an old has-been: banking on the forgetfulness of Nigerians and on our disregard for history. The APC has spent far more time strategizing on how to manipulate public opinion than on policy-formulation. Its manifesto is shallow and phony; a very poor cousin to Goodluck Jonathan’s well-articulated and unfolding transformation agenda.
On the basis of his performance in office, President Jonathan has done much better than any of his predecessors. His legacy is there for all to see in agriculture, aviation, road construction, education, health (especially Guinea Worm, Polio and Ebola eradication), railways, electricity and political reform through the National Conference. Those who are insisting he should not be given a second-term need to come up with cogent reasons why we need to change the stewardship of an economy recording one of the highest growth-rates in the world.
No wonder therefore that Buhari is running away from a presidential debate. His reticence confirms the view that he has nothing concrete to offer. Every excuse he and his handlers come up with only further exposes their vacuity. One thing is for sure; Buhari cannot agree to a debate because his campaign is all smoke and mirrors.
Chartham house
Indeed, nothing exemplifies the bankruptcy of the APC presidential campaign more than the decision of Buhari to deliver a vapid speech in London, rather than engage Jonathan in a presidential debate in Nigeria. I am still looking for someone to explain to me the relevance of Buhari’s London junket to a Nigerian presidential election. Britons don’t vote in Nigerian elections. Even Nigerians living abroad don’t vote. So what was the point of that charade?
Instead of giving a speech at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs in Lagos, Buhari chose the Royal Institute of International Affairs, in far-away London. Nevertheless, nobody would mistake Buhari for a scholar. The APC presidential candidate has never written a book. He does not even have an article in a journal or newspaper to his name. We have yet to sort out the nagging issue of his missing school-leaving certificate. Indeed, his trip might have made more sense if it had involved a dash to Cambridge to secure a bona fide copy of his fictitious 1961 WASC results.
Buhari’s Chartham House speech was intellectually empty. It was full of bells and whistles signifying absolutely nothing. There was nothing newsworthy in it. It only made the news abroad because there was protest against him in the streets. From beginning to end, his speech was a flimsy rationalization of his dubious transition from dictator to democrat; and from coup-plotter against democracy, to presidential candidate in a democratic election.
Buhari is certainly not a Maitama Sule or a Barack Obama. By no stretch of the imagination can he be called an orator. His delivery was poor and laboured. His heavily-accented diction mutilated the English language, as usual. It did not help that he read his prepared text word-for-word; scarsely looking up at his audience. It is too late now to advise his handlers that he should have been hidden behind tele-prompters.
Questions begging for answers
There were elephants in the room at Chartham House; nagging questions begging for answers. How would Buhari react as president if a military coup were to be undertaken against his government? Would he accept this in good faith, since he was also guilty of the same offence? The truth of the matter is that, as a former coup-plotter, Buhari does not have the moral right to seek election as president under a democratic dispensation.
How can he justify jailing Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1984, even though Ojukwu did not hold any political office? How can he justify jailing septuagenarian Pa Michael Ajasin, an honest and upright governor of Ondo State that did not steal any public funds? How can he justify seizing Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s passport, thereby preventing the old man from seeking medical attention abroad; while he sent his own wife and children for medical treatment in the United States?
How can he justify killing Nigerians for committing a crime that did not attract the death penalty when they committed it? How can he justify the jailing of journalists, even for writing truthful reports? Buhari is determined to avoid addressing such probing questions. But such questions are precisely what a political campaign is designed to answer. Frankly, Buhari’s past record is malicious and indefensible. He can keep running away from it, but he cannot hide from it.
Questionable health
One question was answered fulsomely at Chartham House: Buhari does not have the good health or stamina required for the job of president. After campaigning for barely one month, he needed a long rest in London. He literally disappeared for two weeks to recharge his batteries, bang in the middle of an election campaign. This is nothing short of bizarre. A man who cannot withstand the rigours of a one-month presidential campaign is not fit to be president of Nigeria.
Ekiti governor, Ayo Fayose, put it succinctly: “A man who campaigned for four weeks, speaking for less than one hour in all the rallies put together and needed to rest for 15 days should just stay at home and be playing with his grandchildren rather than struggling to take up a job that he does not have the required mental and physical strength to do.”
When Buhari finally returned back home, APC was foolish enough to organise a so-called One Million Man March (attended by barely one hundred thousand people) in Lagos; when it knew its presidential candidate was too old to march. Buhari was glaringly absent from the event. To use the local expression, “he was nowhere to be found.”

JONATHAN, STILL THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB!

JONATHAN IS STILL THE BEST MAN 4 THE JOB...

With less than 17Days to the Presidential Election and a day that Nigeria will record yet another Historic Victory at the polls for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan; I am fully confidence that Nigerians have decided to move FORWARD>>>

There are over One Million Reasons while I am supporting the candidacy of President Goodluck Jonathan for continuity. I will attempt to mention some of the basic ones; but it must be clear that my support is based on my conviction that since the return of Democracy in Nigeria, we have never had it this good in terms of development and human capital Transformation.
We now have an administration that is transparent and is very concerned about the progress of Nigeria to her full potential as the Giant of Africa.

The Goodluck Jonathan led administration has been focusing on creating Jobs, building Infrastructures, growing the Economy, expanding and adding value to our Education System, Empowering the judiciary, creating enabling environment for business to strive and increasing channels for Economic diversification.

Just in 2012, President Jonathan launched the Youth Enterprise with innovation in Nigeria (YOUWIN) initiative which is the administration's job creation centre piece. On Thursday April 12, 2012, 1,200 Nigerian youths emerged winners of the competition following a transparent process. Each winner receives a business start-up grant of between 1 to 10 million Naira. This programme have given over one hundred thousand Nigerians the opportunity to own and grow their business while employing others into their business. By this way, this government plans to reduce the level of employment in the country and supporting the growth of SMEs.

I am also pleased to remind us that, under President Jonathan, our Non-Oil Exports from 2010 (standing at $2.3 Billion) and subsequent years are ten times what they were in 2000 (which were $200 Million) as a direct result of this administration’s intervention in the Textile Industry and Real Sector.

These kind of developments can only be recorded with a Visionary Leader who believes strongly in the Nigeria Dream.

President Jonathan’s Giant Stride in all Sector of the Nigerian Economy is worthy enough to wholeheartedly support him again for Re-Election as this Transformation must be allowed to CONSOLIDATE.
For His accomplishments are overwhelming to say the least...

On Roads Construction, Mr President’s performance has shown that, he is unstoppable and can achieve anything with the ultimate support from all Nigerians. Construction and beautification of many Federal Roads in the country, including the Lagos-Benin Expressway, Abuja-Lokoja Expressway, Enugu-Abakiliki Expressway, Onitsha-Owerri highway and most parts of the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway. Also, the  construction of the Second Niger Bridge between Onitsha and Asaba to relieve the pressure on the old Niger Bridge which was completed in December 1965.

And the Revival of the comatose Railway system of Transportation in the country is unprecedented happening under the current Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Thus, We must not also forget the return of our Trains, which was abandoned by past leaders over three decades ago. Indeed, the transformation agenda has cut across the 36 States in Nigeria and in all Regions.
This is heavily evident in the historic development of Almajiri modern Schools in parts of the North to curb Child-Street Begging. This system of education is aimed at providing sustainable system of education to these kids; as they are seen as the future of the Nation.

A support for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR) is a support for Nigeria to MARCH FORWARD>>>
We must all join hands together to Move Nigeria Forward... 

VOTE JONATHAN Again!

MR. PRESIDENT...CRITICISM 2 Many

MR. PRESIDENT...#CRITICISM 2 Many

Leadership everywhere is a burden. It involves Hard Work, Vision and Sacrifice. In more developed societies, where levels of Idealism are perhaps more elevated, Leaders are commonly criticized and characterized in the vilest of terms.

So very clearly, popular criticism has come to be accepted as an additional burden of Leadership, Abi No Be So???

This has become exceedingly well established in Nigeria, and President Goodluck Jonathan has become its most widely recognized Victim.
No Nigerian Leader since Independence has been exposed to the amount of Hateful Vilification that  has been President Goodluck Jonathan's lot. Either as Street-Level Criticism or as Partisan Challenges from the opposition, the trend has confused the landscape so profoundly, that his achievements have been concealed or distorted.

Hence; what we need NOW are
VOICES of Renowed Figures (Men & Women) to RISE UP in his defence and Favour;
VOICES of sane minds; to draw attention to the several ways in which his administration has Transformed Our Lives.
Most importantly, we must not allow the preponderance of vilification, to create the impression, that there is an absence of Idealism and Patriotic service in Our Country.

We must be reminded, that Mr. President along with several others, are providing useful Service, promoting infrastructure and sweating Day and Night to Transform Our Great Country NIGERIA! .
