Frankly, I can not , for the life of me, find the words to describe the overwhelming sense of satisfaction and joy I heartily felt when President Jonathan trounced his opponent Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 presidential election. With joy in my heart I stood alongside other Nigerians somewhere in the land of the Mid-night sun \u00a0back in the Scandinavians as the news of his victory filtered in to celebrate Nigeria&#8217;s first PhD as President to lead the most populous black nation on earth in the coming years.<br clear=\"none\" \/><br clear=\"none\" \/>As a young black man, I felt a true sense of patriotism as I witnessed our country rally together to show, finally, that we are more concerned about who is the most qualified man for the job, regardless of tribe or religion. A change of which Nigeria urgently stand in need came with a young man , a PhD at the helm , I knew things would never be the same again and this was eventually recorded in his basket of achievements in spite of the ongoing agonizing distraction orchestrated by certain high-ups who have\u00a0diabolically resoved \u00a0to make Nigeria ungovernable if they lose the last presidential election. As luck would have it , it did really happen and still happening to this day calling to mind the insurgency that is ravaging the embattled north eastern province. But like an old soldier who , they say , never dies we see him still marching on in his resolute bid to deliver on his political promises to the citizenry.<br clear=\"none\" \/><br clear=\"none\" \/>Following the colossal failure of his predecessors and its attendant economic hardship, many Nigerian including my humble self after an agonizing and fruitless job hunt left Nigeria in search of the proverbial greener pastures abroad from where we have been watching behind the scenes. A lot , you will all agree with me has happened\u00a0 and as a bigoted critic of the ruling People&#8217;s Democratic party then, \u00a0calling to mind Lucky&#8217;s Igbinedion abysmal \u00a0failure in Edo State, \u00a0I longed for a change but there was no credible opposition until the change like such I desired eventually came from within following Dr. Ebelle Goodluck Jonathan&#8217;s victory at the polls and inauguration.<br clear=\"none\" \/><br clear=\"none\" \/>Be that as it may, my admiration\u00a0for\u00a0\u00a0 this man has never in any way gotten the better of me as to becloud my sense of reasoning. I recognize that President Jonathan has also made more than one controversial decision and rocked the boat\u00a0at \u00a0a time or two. Sure, he has committed his share of blunders and tripped over his own words from time to time. Homer, it is said , sometimes nods hence there is no\u00a0 president under the sun who has not erred at some point during his administration. While I acknowledge he has made a number of mistakes in recent years, I stand firm in my conviction that he remains one of the greatest presidents we have ever had in Nigeria. I am supremely confident that history will prove this, and with time, he will be remembered in the annals of history as a revered revolutionary like the\u00a0late Mahatma Gandhi.<br clear=\"none\" \/><br clear=\"none\" \/>President Jonathan&#8217;s posses a rare gift of humility and tolerance, his continued demonstration of equality, integrity respect for the rule of law is awesome unlike his predecessors under which Nigerians moaned and groaned. He has held tenaciously to civil rights and spoken consistently on behalf of the underdog, the poor and the common wage earners all in a bid to better the lots of Nigerians. He started rebuilding our economy by strenghtening the middle class and this has yielded amazing results calling to mind our new status like I said before\u00a0 as the biggest economy on the continent.<br clear=\"none\" \/><br clear=\"none\" \/>\u00a0Here is a man who is\u00a0 renowned for his\u00a0 friendly demeanour and reassuring manner. In almost six years under perhaps the most intense public scrutiny ever placed upon a Nigerian leader ,\u00a0 he has never lost sight of the fact that he bleeds red, just like everyone else.\u00a0\u00a0 I often stand in awe of his humility , relaxed deportment in the face of every agonizing insult and abuse often hurled at him by all,\u00a0 even though he is the most powerful man in Nigeria, he is, at heart, just a man which make him real and relatable. Conversely,\u00a0 &#8220;Nigerians are useless. Nigerians are senseless. Nigerians are indicipline &#8221; , his strong opponent did expressly tell Nigerians after\u00a0 overthrowing\u00a0 a democratically elected civilian government in 1983. To what do we attribute this ? Arrogance\u00a0 and intolerance\u00a0 in block letters!!!<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">As a PhD , he has been an advocate for education making it a top priority of his administration.\u00a0 Before he got involved there was no single al-majirin school in the north but today even the prayers of these socially and economically deprived children will see him through\u00a0 to lead the nation again \u00a0in the coming years. President Jonathan has built no fewer than 127 model\u00a0 schools to cater for these children&#8217;s\u00a0 educational needs which has never been done by\u00a0 any of his predecessors. Education he has often said is what brings about the strenght of a nation and this he has fought over the years with dogged determination to give Nigerians by ensuring every state in the country has at least a federal institution or university. In this connection, every state\u00a0 today now has a federal university , nine in the north\u00a0 and three in the south and this paves the way for Nigeria\u00a0 to have the highest proportion of university\u00a0 graduates\u00a0 on the continent and peharps in the world in the near future.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">What\u00a0 really are\u00a0 President Jonathan&#8217;s\u00a0 bigited critics\u00a0 and opponents up to? This is quite a complex and involved question with a number of points to be addressed. What else do they want to give us that has not been provided under the leadership of President Jonathan? I know they would readily say security of lives and property.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Security:<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Worried by the spate of insecuirty of lives and property in the country, the Federal Government under\u00a0 President Jonathan \u00a0on\u00a0 July 2 , 2011\u00a0 inaugurated a Presidential Committee on security challenges in North-East with Ambassador Othman GanjiGaltimari as chairman\u00a0 being the biggest security nightmare staring us ominously in the face since the historic amalgamation\u00a0of \u00a0\u00a01914. Never in our political history as a nation has Nigeria had it so bad\u00a0 following the insurgency\u00a0 and ubiquitous bomb blasts and terrorists activities that put the life \u00a0of every Nigerian on the line by a tribe of armed terrorist gang, Boko Haram. Their dastardly acts \u00a0date back to 2009. We have it on good authority that there was a long-standing tension between the sect&#8217;s members and Nigerian\u00a0 security forces; what actually led to this tension , reports say , is that the sect lost one of its members and while on the way to the graveyard to\u00a0 inter the departed comrade ran into a detachment of policemen who demanded that they comply with a road traffic law\u00a0 by wearing crash helmets. Their refusal led to a confrontation where many of the sect members were shot and wounded by police.\u00a0 So did the raging insurgency and terrorists activities hunting Nigeria today\u00a0 begin by the armed Islamic Fundamentalist group &#8211; the Boko Haram &#8211; \u00a0which now \u00a0hangs over our heads like the ancient sword of Damocles.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">The Federal Government under President Jonathan could have as well ordered the military to rid the region of these vermin \u00a0at the time no matter whose ox\u00a0would have been \u00a0gored just as his predecessor President Olusegun Obasanjo did at Odi \u00a0but considering the fact that they are Nigerians he proposed amnesty\u00a0 to the sect which they declined and continued their reign of terror with undiminished intensity. This is part of the underhand plans to wrestle power from him by making him look\u00a0 incapable of containing the crisis. That this problem has persisted to this day could also be blamed on saborteurs within the military.\u00a0 A serving General or a platoon commander in the region we were told has been arrested and standing trial for\u00a0 collaborating \u00a0 with the sect&#8217;s members to unleash terror on Nigerians and soldiers alike ; and this has resulted in heavy causualties on the\u00a0 part of the soldiers. Would this be blamed on President Jonathan? Frankly, if you ask me I will say NO again in block letters. The USA\u00a0 with its sophistcated military\u00a0 prowess has not been able to defeat\u00a0 terror overnight and\u00a0 still fights\u00a0 it\u00a0 to this\u00a0 day since 9\/11and even\u00a0 had to extend the campaign beyond her\u00a0 territorial borders with regiments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Terrorism as a social evil \u00a0is a global problem which could never be extirpated\u00a0overnight.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Corruption:<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">For starters, the issue of\u00a0 corruption is not applicable to Nigeria alone. It is one that has assumed global proportions. Corruption in Nigeria did not start with President Jonathan&#8217;s administration.\u00a0 It is an issue that resonates with peoples all over the world and therefore has become a hot-button issue for politicians who seize upon any issue, real or imagined in order to score political points. General Muhammadu Buhari \u00a0a major opponent in the mainstream opposition &#8211;\u00a0 the All Progressives Congress\u00a0 and also a strong contender for Nigeria&#8217;s plum job could not contain corruption many a time in the government departments and parastals under him. We have \u00a0verifiable facts about his embarassing disagreement with his\u00a0late\u00a0\u00a0 lieutenant &#8211; Gen Tunde Idiagbon . \u00a0\u00a0 So pervasive has corruption been globally\u00a0 that there is no country in the world that has, in one way or the other, been spared the \u2018corruption\u2019 virus.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">There is no country no matter how highly advanced is free from the \u00a0corruption scourge. In many countries across the world serving and former government officials have been accused of variety of offences which border on none other than corruption and this ranges from fraudulent management of government institutions , money laundering and others. In some advanced nations like the USA\u00a0 cases of corporate fraud have now become commonplace. In Transparency International Corruption Perception Index Nigeria\u00a0 under President Jonathan has\u00a0 not been rated as the most corrupt nation on\u00a0 mother earth but that is not to say that I am or have lost sight of the corruption in Nigeria today. Nigeria\u00a0 and PTF under Buhari recorded case of massive fraud. Late Fela was jailed by the above-named when he sang to expose the ills of that regime. Have we forgotten this? What about the sudden disappearance of $2.8 bn\u00a0 from Nigeria&#8217;s NNPC Midland Bank\u00a0 account in London\u00a0 under Buhari? We have these \u00a0facts and records! \u00a0PTF was a colossal failure in the southern part of the country and several billions of naira could not be accounted for by Muhammadu Buhari but these are often\u00a0swept under the carpet \u00a0 by his apologists. Is there anyone in the mainstream opposition who has not practically indulged in corrupt practices? Lagos State debt profile the opposition stronghold \u00a0, for instance , has continued to mount into whooping billions of dollars with little or nothing to show for it in the area of infrastructural renewal or development.\u00a0Statistics obtained from the website of the Debt Management Office in Abuja\u00a0 showed that Lagos owes a whooping\u00a0$3.01 eternal debt and this you will agree with me is a lot of money.\u00a0\u00a0 Part of \u00a0Riyadh metro \u00a0, for instance ,\u00a0cost\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0than\u00a0$1.9 billion dollars to build \u00a0by Samsung C&amp;T of South Korea. The Lagos light-rail project particularly the first two lines of the urban rail project we are told is to cost Lagos tax-payers\u00a0 $1.4bn which is tantamount to day-light robbery.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">However recent study by Transparency International has shown that Nigeria is the second most improved country in Africa in fighting corruption. Has there been any case of President Jonathan&#8217;s \u00a0outright refusal to enforce anti-corruption legislation on its books and back anti-corruption agencies?\u00a0Have the agencies been working? Has the President interfered in their work and stop the anti-graft agency from doing their duty? Has the president ever actively\u00a0 shielded\u00a0 any corrupt official from prosecution? Is their any glaring proof in this regard? Bigoted critics answer me!<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Inaction inertia:<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">He has also been chided\u00a0 for this by his loud-mouthed critics\u00a0\u00a0that he often \u00a0bypasses\u00a0every \u00a0action opportunity but whenever he decides to do so he is accused of being dictatorial, high-handed \u00a0and despotic. We are a very complex people. \u00a0 The Lagos State House Speaker who was accused of stealing billions of Naira was acquitted by Lagos State High Court in spite of every \u00a0glaring evidence against him. That is a state whose governor often criticises the president\u00a0for \u00a0not doing enough to fight corruption when he is\u00a0 tarred\u00a0 with the\u00a0 same\u00a0 brush\u00a0 himself.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">When you are called upon to lead you do not metamorphose into a hydra-headed monster as some brutes erroneously do. Dele Giwa was brutally murdered in 1986 by the powers-that-be, Kudirat Abiola was killed by people believed to be Abacha&#8217;s secret \u00a0agents. Her husband , the uncrowned winner of the 1993 presidential election died under mysterious circumstances while in detention \u00a0among many others. Some of the country&#8217;s credible leaders were unduly incarcerated in 1983 under false charges and some never came out alive and those who eventually did remained sickly for the rest of their lives until they eventually gave up the ghost, Prof. Ambrose Alli and Pa Adekunle Ajasin&#8217;s annihilation \u00a0are cases in point. These men went down in health as a result of prolonged incarceration for no offence committed while some of their northern counterparts enjoyed robust health under house arrest and soon regained\u00a0 freedom even with tangible evidence of their ill-gotten gains!<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Must President Jonathan \u00a0transform himself into a brute or a\u00a0 ranting, domineering bully \u00a0before we admit the fact \u00a0he is leading the country in the right direction? Objectively speaking , he has been doing his best to better the lots of Nigerians if you ask me. Today our trains are working ferrying as many as 5 million passengers across the country annually. The railways died in 1983 under Gen. Buhari and nothing was done by his predecessors to resuscitate it. In the area of infrastructural development, roads have been rehabilitated across the country and it is still ongoing. Our airports have been remodelled and certified safe by the US\u00a0 when we retained\u00a0\u00a0Federal Aviation Administration Category One and Two Safety Status. Nigeria , a country which used to be suffused by guinea worm has been certified guinea worm free under President Jonathan. He detected 50,000 ghost workers in the federal civil service whose annual salary stood at N139bn but today all is now history.\u00a0 Has this not been there before he got involved? Why was this massive fraud not detected by his predecessors who again aspire to be \u00a0\u00a0Nigeria&#8217;s most powerful men? Middle men\u00a0have been \u00a0eliminated in the sale and distribution of fertilizers to farmers and\u00a0over six million farmers we\u00a0gathered now\u00a0acquire \u00a0the product direct from the Federal Government thus \u00a0paving the way for a thriving aggro-based economy.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify;\">Ay, here is a Jonathan!
