    Before you attempt to say yes or no with all wonderful reasons, find out who is a leader & what leadership is all about & compare your findings with who a ruler is. OBANSANJO was a RULER not a LEADER. President JONATHAN is a 3rd level leader not an EFFECTIVE LEADER.

    Obj is not even a leader,president joenathan has done very well in all sector eg,agriculture,aviation,road and rain transport system. What can u say of obj dat rule with impunity? Obj government was very corrupt and killings and pre arranged plain crash was d order of d day.

    OBJ was a real leader who knew wat leadership meant. GEJ lacks capacity. He is just chasing shadows instead of leading. I agree with those who claim he is clueless. I think he should do well to up his game. Another four yrs of cluelessness will be disastrous for our country. While d country is burning, he will be dancing alanta. He should just pack his baggage and leave d villa quietly.

    How their you all comparing Obj and Gej ?Both are nothing but corrupt leader. None of them got what it takes to run a nation , to start with obj is just a soldier and Gej is an educated illiterate. Gej is one of those students that seats at the back of the class

    I'll waste no time in voting for Jonathan as a better president because he is more refined and he made our economy the 26th fastest growing in the world and he brought back the trains and rebuilt airports. He was even able to set up new universities. Obasanjo is no where near him.

    While I will give it to Obasanjo as being a better president than Jonathan. I would not fail to take into consideration the fact that Obasanjo had everything going for him. He had been in the army all his life and even rose to become a head of state. Hence, he had the wherewithal to stand up to those whose predilection is to exploit the nation. But Jonathan is a neophyte, a political tryo if you may. Nigeria is too big a country for Jonathan. He doesn't have what it takes to handle Nigeria's complex situation.

    One of the most important seasons why Papa Obasanjo's administration is rated far better than that of Goodluck is as a result of the security consciousness of the earlier who knows fully well that the paramount duty of the leader is the protection of life and property as a result,he tackled crisis situation swiftly to avoid escalation.

    Yes! Elder OBJ was better than after their first 5years in office. How much was a barrel of crude oil during OBJ's first 5yrs and how much was it during GEJ's? How much was Nigeria's debt before OBJ and how much was it before GEJ? How much was Nigeria's foreign reserve before OBJ and how much was it before GEJ? Yes the both of them had/has corruption in there government but who was fighting it, even among his cabinate members and tribal men? In OBJ's first 5yrs we were exposed to a global life style, The GSM(2000-2001). But what has GEJ's government offered that can be felt even in the villages? Comerade Adams Oshomole used the labour union to mount opposition against OBJ without being politicised, but you know the opposite today! Its endless! What about the divisive nature of GEJ's government along religeous and ethnic lines? It was never percieved in OBJ's days! Grounding governors planes, cealing emir's palace, using ex-militants as security guards, etc. What??? African countries like Zimbabwe, Uganda, Ghana, making mockry of Nigeria becouse of security and the government's style of handling it? What?

    Please at sam I guess u don't know what you saying. There is no iota of truth in your comment. Don't be too sentimental and get your fact befor you comment. Thanks.

    i view goodluck in two form.it is either he is wicked and insensitive to the plight of nigerians in the northeast,he should gon there and the see how pple are killed daily and they keep telling nigerians in other regions lies.or it may be that he is clueless and dont know what to do to solve the problem of nigeria.nigerians and the goodluck suppoters should prepare for next year,bcos the price of fuel would be increased in other to make thing easier for the masses as they always say.

  • eleonu chinedu - 9 years ago

  • morgana - 9 years ago

  • WALDO - 9 years ago

    JONATHAN IS THE WEAKEST AND LEST PERFORMING PRESIDENT OF ALL TIMES.
    NO ACTION AT ALL.
    WATCHES OVER A GOVT THAT PAY DEAF EAR TO LOOTING.
    GIVING NATIONAL HONOURS TO THE MOST CORRUPT GOVERNORS.
    HIM AND UDUAGHAN WILL DIE OF CHRONIC INCURABLE ILLNESS.

  • Yab - 9 years ago

    The Problem With Most Nigerian Is Insincerity,Hate And Ethnic Exasperation.How Can Facts Lie? Its Undoubtedly Clear That This Present Government Is Far Better Than All We'Ve Got In This Country. It Is When GEJ Is Out Of Government That His Haters Will Known His Position Erelong.May God Keep D President FrOm His Enemies

  • sam - 9 years ago

    Anyone who says OBJ's government was better than GEJ's is not sincere and is blinded by selfishness, ethnicity, lover of party more than lover of Nigeria. Moreover what are your points. These are few of many reasons why OBJ was the WORST president and cannot be compared with GEJ: 1) During OBJ's administration, ONLY ONE COMPANY SUPPLIED CEMENT TO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND IT WAS SOLD FOR N3200 AND ABOVE (EAGLE CEMENT, EBETO & OTHERS WERE CRIPPLED) CORRUPTION. 2) During OBJ's THERE WERE EVERY WEEK FUEL SCARCITY AND OUR ROADS WERE CHARACTERISED BY LONG QUEUES. THERE WAS A STATEMENT CREDITED TO HIM: THAT NIGERIANS BUY A BOTTLE OF BEAR FOR N200, THAT THEY CAN EQUALLY BUY FUEL POSSIBLY ANY AMOUNT. 3) UNDER OBJ'S WATCH THIS BOKO HARAM STARTED AND HE DID NOTHING BECAUSE THEY WERE KILLING THE IGBOS AND SOME SOUTH SOUTHERNERS: THEY KILLED IGBOS AND TOOK TIME LOADED THE CORPSES ON TO A TRUCK AND SENT IT TO ABA, WHICH MADE OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO START THEIR OWN KILLINGS. 4) WHAT ABOUT THE 1% EVERY NIGERIAN WAS PAYING WHEN SHE RECHARGED HER PHONE WHO'S ACCOUNT WAS IT GOING? 5) HAVE WE SO SOON FORGOTTEN ABOUT POLITICAL KILLINGS: THE LIKES OF FORONSHO AND IGE IN LAGOS (FORMER GOV. ASPIRANT AND ATTORNEY GEN.), HARRYSON OF PH, AND MANY UNCOUNTABLES. 6) IN INFRANSTRUCTURE, WHERE DID HE DEVELOP? ORE, MANY LIVES WENT, IT NEVER TOUCHED HIM. 7) HOW WAS ELECTRICITY, RAILWAY, AIRPORT, ETC. DURING HIS TIME?. WHICH AREA CAN YOU SAY HE WAS GOOD, IS IT ELECTION RIGING WITH IMPUNITY, OR IS IT THE DESTROCTION OF INNOCENT LIVES IN ODI? KILLINGS IN THE NORTH AT HIS TIME WAS IT NOT MUCH MORE THAN WAS DONE IN ODI, AND WHAT DID HE DO? 8) WHEN OBJ WAS DOING ALL THESE, DID ANYBODY DARE TO CRITICISE HIM AS IT IS DONE TO GEJ? BECAUSE IF YOU DID, YOU WILL BE MISSING. i BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH AND IS ONLY AND ONLY ON TRUTH WE SHALL MOVE THIS COUNTRY FORWARD. NOTE THAT WHEN YOU SAY THE TRUTH, YOU CONDEM EVIL AND ENCOURAGE GOOD. OBJ'S ADMINISTRATION CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH GEJ'S BEFORE GOD AND MAN.

    It is obvious you guys don't know what to write this morning. How on earth can you compare this government with that of Obasanjo? Se won ma n fi iku we Orun ni? Meaning sleeping is different from death now. Please be guided.

    NDDC IS DEAD SINCE 2010, POVERTY HAS INCREASED. UNEMPLOYMENT IS HIGH, INCOME INEQUALITY HAS INCREASED. HIGH DEPT PROFIL TO GDP WITH LOW SAVINGS. BAD FEDRAL ROADS ALL OVER SOUTH EAST, POOR OIL REVENUE AFECTING DEVELOPMENT IS UNJUSTIFIED SINCE D PRICE OF OIL HAS NOT GONE BELOW D BUDGET BENCHMARK. D ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLE. NO ACCOUNTABILITY, ESPECIALLY, D FUND THAT IS LEFT OVER @ D END OF D YR. how can a worker save and invest, if 30% of his income goes to d provission of energy for his home, and 10% to maintain his car due to bad raod and no electricity. These are the cause of poverty and unemployment. Our nation is surprised to be on rapid progressive part, but am not seeing it that way. Few people can not be benefiting from the government, while many are suffering. It is madness to make a promise and did not fulfill it, and asking for a chance to make another promise. This not how to build a nation. We need people that will tell us d truth no matter how bad, with that u as government will earn credibility and thrust from d Masses. It is an irony that many Nigerian are not petrotic, why should a nigerian serve in a government with out telling his boss the truth, but feed him with lies so that he will remain in office to enrich him self, and make him self a god before his people. The next tin is to make promise how he will transform his state if he becomes governor.
