Countdown Calendar: 1278 Jonathan Days Left

Surprisingly most of d things highlighted are not d core needs of d common man on d streets n dis are lies dat wuld nt b achieved i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ 10yrs hw was jst a POLITICIAN wat we call JOBBER!

its quite unfortunate that some people always hide under the banner of politics to use it as a means of indicatiing thier hatred for to islam. while political views are expressed on how to tackle the problems of our nation others are concerned with showing selfish interest on thier kinsmen even if they were to ruin the nation. well GEJ still remains the president as you want but mark my words sooner/later those of you in support of him will b the first to raise alarm in the media when situation worsen!

The stream of promises in themselves show that we as a nation, are not focused. We have no development agenda, no programme of national cohesion,economic emancipation and opportunists in the name of reforms are friterring away scarce resources in the name of reforms that are not articulated, while hiding under this to take huge advantage of the system. The question Nigerians should be asking is why should every political/government appointee abandon the norm and tinker with new ideas? The answer is budgetary allocation.

Jonathan is a what Obasanjo is using to punish Nigerians for not supporting his tenure elongation.I wonder why Nigerian think he could do anY better, even Obasanjo had better things to offer than him...people fell for Obasanjo's ploy and voted for Jonathan out of sentiment,hope Nigerians have learnt their lesson. We need a leader not a zombie.Please people should vote wisely in the next election.

All of U guys who are condemning Sonala 4 this great write up are the real enemies of this country. I challenge U guys 2 list just two oil-producing countries without @ least ten functioning refineries in their respective countries. We are not ignorant of d fact that Nigeria of today is faced with lots of problems, what we are asking 4 is someone who can help us solve some of these problems, not someone who would worsen the situation. by introducin a 7 year tenure and subsidy removal. dont be clueless like your clueless president

I can't seem to find in your list a promise to remove the fuel subsidy, which seems to be the major obsession of the Jonathan government.

The whole promises look cloudy at this initial stage. He still have some time to fix up himself, I hope he will do tangible things before his time is expired in the next 40 months. With his accumulated experience, he must strive and do something out of his promises.

For those inviting the US to tackle Boko Haram, this may be worth reading:

Exactly the way God came down to put food on your table this morning abi...why do people always use God as shield to commit in this country? the final say belongs to God??....what has dat got to do with the issue,we are talking about a human being decieving others for for years in the name of God , you are calling God as his defence or what..pls be real, do not use God's name in vain.let us call a spade a spade.jonathan is a president with criminal tendencies just like millions of nigerians , he is not the first of his kind, its how he got to were he is without letting it show that is the issue.he suceeded in tricking millions of people to voting for him..he will be definitely be judged, not in heaven oh...here on earth.

Good one, Jonathan is not america wonder, he can nt leave his office and move from one state to the other. If he mandate you the writer there you will be corupt as well. You will used substandard materials to work. Pls stop calling our president names because you as the writer, you are not effective or efficient in ur work. Four years is too small for Janathan to give Nigeria a brand new name. He dey vex ona because hausa man no win the election, bad belle people. Sourthern we go win again, make una go to hell and burn to ashes. The one way Abacha, IBB, and the rest of the northern leaders do, watin ona do or talk. I beg make una just leave our Jonathan alone, na where him power rich na him go work. Make una think twice b4 una go dey write and publish watin ona no sabi oh.

I indeed was initially heartened with the election of Jonathan Goodluck, thinking at the time that a college professor should be better equiped to move Nigeria out of the wasteland. You do not need 4 years to impress. Buhari made a big spash within 6 months. With >50% unemployed, & collaped infrastructure the President needed a 6 months marshall plan where EVERYONE is held accountale. All I see is another wasted 4 years.

You called someone an 'imbecile' just because of differences in opinion! You dont even have the temperament to engage in a healthy conversation. Assuming you were to swap places with the present political actors that you condemn on a daily basis,is this how you'll conduct yourself? Where then is the sign that given an opportunity,you would not do WORSE things than present political actors?

Nice one.

Its so sad to note dt some pple will defend GEJ at all costs. They cant point out d direction he is leadin dis country. Once they rain insults on Buhari once GEJ's ineffectiveness is pointed out, they r ok. The fact remains dt GEJ is a clueless, incompetent, untrustworthy leader who does nt know his left from his right. All of u supporting are still in dis country with us enjoying d terrible roads & poor electricity. U'll enjoy d benefits of d withdrawal of fuel subsidy & re-introduction of toll gates like d rest of us...best of all, u'll enjoy d peace & security dt has led to bombs evriday, jst like d rest of us...thnk God I didnt vote for dis dummy, ''baby rubber'' called GEJ...MSTCHEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!

I totally disagree with you on this. From my own assessment of this article, I don't think it portrays Sonala as an anti GEJ element, but rather a pro GEJ citizen who has decided to remind him of his promises at this early stage of his administration.

Why have you decided not to be objective ? And what made you think that you'll be helping this administration by closing your eyes to its ratings even in the face of glaring poor performance.

I think a constructive criticism like this is what any rational leader needs to succeed.

Can we please allow some freedom of expression for our democracy to grow ?

It is no news that he will not deliver 1/4 of his epistle of promises before the end of his tenure in 2015 if it will indeed end then. There is a ready made excuse why there is no zest in his administration:"Give us 4 more years-Nigeria's problems did not start yesterday" or at the worst they'll tell us the view is much different when you become president and see the problems as an insider. I pray for the sake of 20million unemployed youths and graduates that Jonathan proves us wrong.

Jonathan is a fraudster. His two most important projects; 7yrs tenure and oil-subsidy removal are not in these empty promises.
That fake guy, IFY4demoracy and deluded Deri can shout from now till eternity, Sonala has exposed Jonathan for what he is; a fraudster !
And it's the foolish Nigerians who should take the blame because Jonathan simply told them what they wanted to hear.
How a man who cannot point to ONE single achievement (I challenge IFY and Deri on this) in a small state like Bayelsa as dep. gov or gov is suddenly expected to develop the necessary intellect and courage to rule Nigeria beats me ! It's going to be another 1278 days of cluelessness; nothing is gonna change. Next time vote with your head and not your a..e.

Sonola used the wrong caption. It should have read MY ROADMAP TO NIGERIAS TRANSFORMATION after Mr Jonathan would have pimped it and given it some face lift with the help of his Chief Protocol Abati.

But I think the man was warming up before he hits the ground. Now with the sack of Waziri the warm up phase has passed, its now ACTION TIME.

Mr Clueless is about to become Mr... Make we just dey look.

The followers of the self proclaimed prophet muhammad would not allow President Goodluck Jonathan to deliver. They have axes to grind. The Musilms are not happy the way power shifted from them. These felons would do anything to sabotaged the gains of the president. Any one can see the hands of Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, Ambassador Saidu Pinda, IBB, The Sultan of Sokoto to mention but a few. Prophet muhammad has taught them these tricks of not working together with people of other faiths. If prophet muhammad was a good man why did he massacre innocent people? Please do not tell me that you have to kill to be good. The musilms are carrying out the unfinished work of prophet muhammad. Prophet muhammad was an evil man who raped and molested little girls. Bad man is he.

I have suggested in the past that we need a timeline for Jona. This will keep him on his toes. I strongly support this calendar countdown by Sonola and if possible we should open a special website or have a Facebook page that people will be able to follow tha president and post their comment. This is another way of making this government accountable to the people.

Sonala, should be told to stop playing God. Buhari his mentor was there for almost 3 yrs. His human rights records are there for all to see. Nigeria is a country with over 150m ppl with no national ID card scheme to their names. And depends solely on the oil resources of just one zone to keep her 36 states afloat. Before GEJ were other leaders. Allow the him play his part and leave the stage. The article does not make sense to me at all. Its like asking why America and Europe have economic problems despite the fact that, the largest concentration of intellectuals in the world, are found in these countries. Nigerian writers who confine their thoughts to finding faults with GEJ, instead of giving us solution to the crisis of boko haram, is an agent of instability and a stooge of the imperialist powers. Such a person has no moral right to distrub our peace with his watery write-ups for Buhari here. You can count the days and hours to 2015. But the final say belongs to God and not Sonala.

The title and the intro, were enough to warn me that the goliaths who backed Buhari against GEJ, are back with their negative thoughts 4 d
nation. Another thing that came to my mind when I saw the name of Buharis God-son Sonala, was to examine the work of Obama, against the backdrop of the ongoing economic crisis in d USA. Discovered Sonala is another paid piper from Edo state! Jona is attempting to fix a 51yrs old national cancer. GEJ, will never be appreciated by Sonala, who is blinded by his unflinching love for ex military dictator Buhari. In spite of the Faith the masses have in Jona, the visionless big 3 and their poverty stricken surrogates will do all to turn the table against him. But that's only because d work of shoeless GEJ, whose zone gave Naija over $17trillions within the last 54yrs, is not yet over. His day will come, you can be sure. And when it does, the ceremony will last for years in the blood stained, OIL-LESS souls of the Sonalas. Animals

"The writer of the above article was able to make this lenghty article(and could possibly write a book) out of the promises of Goodluck Jonathan but i challenge him to enumerate the promises of Buhari. He cannot because Buhari made little or no promises." .... Ifeanyi-Democracy 4ever (2011)

It is illogical and silly to bring Buhari again into this discourse. Buhari lost the election and it is therefore no longer relevant whether he made promises or not. The one who won the election whether by hook or crook has become the goldfish that is now accountable and has no hiding place.

Ifeanyi, leave Buhari alone and ask GEJ to deliver the promises he made to remain in Aso Rock. He neither promised to remove fuel subsidy nor review the constitution for a single term. Yet these ones became his top priority while the real promises have been abandoned. Let him dare remove the subsidy and see if he will remain in Aso rock.

What can u see? Somebody, saying these and doing that. It is normal. As a Barrack Boy, we believe any thing can happen

Ifeanyi-Democracy,

You make a valid point, for a system to thrive all vital elements of that system needs to be working well simultaneously. Nigerians and there leaders have failed to grasp the concept of inter-connections. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.

Fellows, may I correct somethings here the president had no shoes not because his parents had no money but, he was not smart and hence the punishment to walk to school bear footed. Finally I think the president will deliver some of his promises but, nigerian will have to pay for it examples is increase in electricity tariff without electricity and toll booth on our unpaved roads.

Does the President potray any leadership skills? He was virtually dragged into the race. A true leader will tell you that sleeping for four hours a day is a luxury.the man is not stressed at all he is only interested in the luxurry attached to the office. Look at his face [no wrinkles] compare with that of PRESIDET OBAMA now tell me who is working PRESIDENT OBAMA or PRESIDENT JONATHAN.I rest my case.f
