Response to a friend on Facebook who asked to explain why Jonathan’s government was a failure


What explanation do you want bros? Are you saying Jonathan built Nigeria - why did Nigerians reject him in 2015? If Jonathan led the nation to benefit the poor, would they have rejected him? All the loots recovered are evidence of Jonathan's incompetence. The fact that he did not accomplish anything concrete - he started projects yes, but at what cost?

He did well by organizing free and fair election but he only handed over because he was overwhelmed and he had no gut like other greedy incumbents before him. He stole taxpayers’ money to bribe anyone bribable through Dasuki (the evidence is all over the place) or what is his name. Jonathan was an outright failure - there are two things that annoys me the most about Jonathan, the fact that he went on national TV to rationalize corruption, calling it mere stealing and his posture on Chibok girls.

Jonathan is not responsible for Nigeria turning the table on cement export – it was because of the ingenious of Dangote. How can Jonathan take credit for that? If you look at cement business, Dangote sells to us at over N2,000 but sells in other countries at N800, does that make sense – of course, he has the backing of the Federal government.

Making a policy to favor one man, turning him into a billionaire at the expense of the rest of Nigerians is nothing NONSENSICAL, meaning there is no sense in it, and it is no achievement. Any sensible Nigerian would know that it is better for our youths (most of them) to have jobs than to have one man referred to as the richest black man in the world.

Jonathan claimed to have stopped fuel scarcity. This is wickedness. How can someone that turned the 8th largest producer of petroleum in the world to petroleum product importer. What sense is in that? Four refineries, and none in functional state, and Jonathan was president for 5 years. How is this a success? Jonathan made man of the families of politician’s billionaire over night for doing nothing in the name of importing petroleum. Nigeria was paying over N1.7 trillion yearly in petroleum product subsidy, most it going into the pocket of people who did not import one liter of petrol. This is a shame! SHAME!

Was Jonathan a leader, or an incompetent coward? The latter of course. I credit him for handing over after all his bribing to remain in power failed, but I tell you, his reason is nothing but cowardice. He had no balls in the negative.

But, you know what, Buhari's government has already outperformed Jonathan in EVIL works - Buhari's government has had access to more resources than Jonathan with NOTHING to show for it, absolutely NOTHING, Nigeria is worse off today than when Buhari took over. That is my point.

DARWANIAN Theory - The Driving Force Behind American Capitalism Philosophy

Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.

STATE of THE NATION (NIGERIA) - February 2020

For 16 years, Nigerians believed that their problem was a political party called PDP. The other side agitated for those 16 years to wrestle power from PDP and many of us supported them. That other side has been in power for almost 5 years now, and things have gone from bad to worse compared to the PDP years. The money APC government has borrowed in 5 years is multiple of what PDP borrowed in 16 years, and the economy has gone down the drain. Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world, and millions of children are out of school, there are no hospitals, unemployment is double digits and it has remained so for the better part of Buhari's time in office. The security situation has gone worse because the president is complicit due to the involvement of his kinsmen - he has shown zero will to tackle the problem decisively. The consequences of this is crack in the wall of the entity called Nigeria - with Amotekun launch in the South West and the US ban of Nigerians from ce...

Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway, Another White Elephant Project by the Nigerian Government?

Except Nigeria changes its approach to project execution fundamentally, I do not see the Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway project finishing in my lifetime. This project was conceived in 2006 by OBJ, 18 years ago. They are just starting today... 2024. If things are done properly, it will take 8 years - 8 years oh... that could be 80 years in Nigeria. How many decades since the Ibadan - Ilorin highway was conceived (since 1979) - it was restarted in 1999 during OBJ who conceived the road during his first stint in government as a military head of state. The road is yet to be completed, and the portion completed is already dilapidated, worse than the old road. Lagos - Ibadan expressway is yet to be fully completed 25 years since it was awarded. There have been several awards and re-awards since 1999 and billions of dollars have been wasted on a major road that links the commercial hub of Nigeria to the rest of the nation. There are so many other Federal highways like this, especially those ...
