Biodun,
The people are rented to rebrand Jonathan for the next election. They know that Jonathan's scorecard is about 30%.
Elections in Nigeria are not based on concrete reality but foolery.
The majority is always the poor and the needy. So, they can easily be bought.
The second group is the middle class. It is very corrupt. They want to be rich. They are the 'get rich quick' elites. So, they collect bribes in quantum before and during electioneering.
There is the civil rights group. They are dying hard moralists with conscience. They abhor corrupt practices in any form. They are the minority but with powerful voices. They have their support from the international community.

Seriously? Talking about Goodluck Jonathan Administration accomplishments?
I doubt if any of you ever visited Nigeria recently to observe the federal roads and the none existence of basic infrastructures like safe water, reliable delivery of electricity, decent schools after over 5 years of Goodluck Jonathan's rule. Nigerians have migrated to other African countries such as Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, to educate their children.
I found your list of "Notable Accomplishments of the Goodluck Jonathan Administration" interesting. Largest economy in Africa, large foreign reserve, combating corruption? Ummmm, why are the educated youth of Nigeria unemployed?. Goodluck Jonathan accomplishments indeed!

It has just been pointed out to us, that though Boko Haram is still holding our girls, that President Jonathan has VIGOROUSLY empowered women in his administration, more than any other in Nigeria. We apologize and therefore include gender as one of his notable accomplishments.
