The supporters of President Jonathan Goodluck claim loudly, boldly and openly that Mr. President is moving Nigeria forward on the path of development, prosperity and future greatness, This claim is not true and sincere in all truth, honesty and reality. Nigeria's foreign debt has increased by about $14 billion or 37% of the current debt under the presidency of JEG. Nigeria has now returned to a life of more borrowing under GEJ from the World Bank, Paris Club, African Development Bank, Islamic Bank and the rising China. The prices of petroleum products are up under the watch of JEG. The national wages of Nigerian workers are stagnant despite yearly increase in the inflation rate and the depreciation of the Nigerian Naira against the American dollar. Many state governments have refused to pay the poverty wage of N18,000 a month to their workers despite the tens of billion of Naira that they collect from Abuja every month. The poverty rate in Nigeria is now the highest in the history of Nigeria since her independence from Britain. About 80% or 112 million Nigerians out of 160 million Nigerians live on $1 to $2 a day.
The youth unemployment rate in Nigeria is now 23%. The middle class remains insignificant and it is still heavily limited to the oil and the IT sectors. There is no visible aggressive or any active prosecution of the corrupt cases against the former or the serving public officials under the watch of GEJ. The insecurity of life and properties as well as the terrorism of the Boko Haram are well and alive under GEJ. Electricity is still a national problem. There is no expansion of our inadequate social services. The government officials and their family members go abroad with our tax payers' money for every health issue they face and leaving behind the tens of millions of other Nigerians helpless and hopeless about their own health issues. Our national infrastructures today in 2013 are still in their bad shape. Does Jonathan Ebele Goodluck truly deserve another four years as the Nigerian President? Will Nigerians vote rightly in 2015 or not? Time will surely tell
