OPINIONS & SENT - Since President Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in on 29 May 2011, insecurity has worsened, unemployment has skyrocketed, inflation has risen and the judiciary is in tatters. And Nigerians are asking, ‘where is the president we elected?’


At the ballots, Nigerians endorsed Jonathan overwhelmingly across the nation, giving him over 60 percent of votes cast, ten million more than votes recorded by his closest rival, Muhammadu Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC.

Indeed, out of about 37 million Nigerians who voted on Saturday, 16 April, 2011, 22 million voted for the president, giving him the strong mandate he needed to begin the process of fixing the comatose economy, reducing the high unemployment rate and improving the epileptic power supply.

Nigerians also anticipated that Jonathan would stop the skyrocketing inflation, save the tumbling aviation industry and give hope to millions of Nigerians who had become alienated by wasteful years of corruption and inefficiency in government.

For decades, political pundits had argued that to move forward, Africa’s most populous nation and second biggest economy needed an intellectual to man its affairs. Jonathan, a Ph.D holder and former university lecturer, was indeed seen as the saviour the country had been waiting for.

But, 100 days after he assumed office, the expectations of Nigerians for their president, have fallen to an abysmal low level. Indeed, Nigerians have written him off.

Before he was elected, he had ruled the country for one whole year after he took over from the late President Umaru Yar’Adua.

Jonathan orchestrated his own woes. Indeed, shortly after his inauguration, Nigerians were flabbergasted that the president had directed the National Assembly to amend the constitution for single term tenure of six years for future presidents and governors.

And while they were still trying to come to terms with the sinister move, Boko Haram, the Islamic sect, intensified its bomb attacks across the nation, with the president appearing to be clueless on how to tackle it.

The Police Headquarters was bombed on 17 June. The fortified United Nations office in Abuja was bombed on 26 August. Many other explosions have been witnessed across the country with scores of people killed in the process.

This is in addition to thousands of people killed by rioters in northern Nigeria after the presidential election. Jos, the Plateau State capital is boiling and scores are being killed daily.

Hafiz Ringim, the Inspector General of Police, who does not know how to make Nigerians safe, has remained on the job. The head of the State Security Service is still on the job and other security chiefs have not been replaced.

As the economy tumbles and insecurity worsens, the president seems to have diminished so much that Nigerians are wondering whether their president operates from Afghanistan.

As at today, according to government figures, 47 million Nigerians are unemployed and those who have unsteady jobs find it hard to make ends meet.

Nigerian youths are even worse off now than before Jonathan took over. And as if that was not big enough to swallow, Jonathan violated the spirit of the Nigerian constitution by dabbling post-haste into the dispute between the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the President of the Appeal Court, even when the matter was still in court, in a manner critics said was partisan.

Our president must get his priorities right and get rid of those who have failed the nation as fast as he can. He must tell Nigerians his plans to revive the economy, create jobs, reduce inflation and make Nigeria great again.

well his luck has ran out

I think so, Nigeria is on auto run now

We recently had a man in a coma ,literally, in Yar Adua only to replace him with a man in a coma (GEJ) figuratively !!!! I am not superstitious otherwise I would conclude that Nigeria is cursed !!!!

He is under the umblerra

He is in Aso Rock.

The Jonathan you elected was only out to get a new pair of shoes.Now that he has them, you can go bleep your self for all he cares.

At this stage in her embattled history, Nigeria does not deserve this.

The responses are soooo funny but you'll need to read the article to know that this is not jokes, Nigeria's in trouble

My brother as Fela said : "why I dey laugh? because I no fit cry !!!" . Believe me, many of us appreciate the sh.ite Nigeria is in far better than the articles implies. Nonetheless, what is the point of rolling around on the floor in tears? That won't make the AGIPs and clueless misrulers dissapear will it ?

You chose this man over Ribadu even when you knew that he is not competent but sentiments took the better of you. Nigeria is on auto-run, by the time the engine runs out of fuel we will then understand that luck cant take us anywhere.

pls can somebody post the picture of aso rock, i have seen white house a number of time!!!

Poster, why not criticize constructively. Make “Useful Suggestions” on how issues you raised in your post can be addressed, GEJ is not a Magician.

this is an industrial strength stupid question to ask. only a retard would think that he elected a different jonathan from the one he's seeing now. i hope you guys all experience personal pain for electing a deadhead. u fools.

sleekdot:

olawalebab:

Very correct. Nigeria is on auto pilot. God have mercy

Unemployment has skyrocketed? Where did he get this information from? What informed logic led to this assertion? Inflation has risen? Are you serious? You must know something that Sanusi doesn't because he tells us inflation has reduced and ministry of finance tells us GDP is rising. And concerning the Judiciary, did this writer miss a social studies class in primary school where separation of powers was explained?

The Jonathan you Elected is Temporarily out of service, please don't try again next election.

@somze

lets face the truth are things getting better? when last did you buy stuff from the market? go back and chronicle the bombing timelines and ask your self why THE PRESIDENCY has done nothing about it. or who's job is it then? bro, things are getting worse just like the op says.

Give Jonathan time. He will become a great leader.

he's on the hide out, running away from bombs.

Hey watch your back, the SSS are behind you

Why are you asking, is he not still a christian and not a Northerner? Was that not your criteria for voting him regardless of whether he can perform/deliver or not.
So enjoy! Sentiments abi?

I missed that class too
But perhaps you and I missed where it was written in the constitution that EVERYTHING about governorship election will end at the appeal court
Under Jonathan the Supreme court reached above the head of the appeal court and delivered the governorship verdict in Sokoto state to PDP
Jonathan election is being contested in court and his sunday-appointee is already re-arranging the panel hearing the case
