Of the 3 mineral #GEJpromises, all are WIP. I called the revenue promise WIP, not fail, because the drop in oil revenue will force issues... The next set of #GEJpromises have to do directly with his home region, the Niger Delta. How has he fared at home? Well, lets find out... 62/97 - GEJ promised to bring in investors to the Niger Delta to establish industries. There is Natore, so Ill give a pass #GEJpromises 63/97 - GEJ promised that by 2015 the East-West road will be complete, and there will be railways & export. Lets just say WIP #GEJpromises 64/97 - GEJ promised that he will work with Liyel to ensure that by 2015 Tinapa is vibrant and productive. The place is dead #GEJpromises 65/97 - GEJ promised that the problems arising as a result of ceding Bakassi to Cameroon will be sorted. Id give this WIP #GEJpromises 4 #GEJpromises made directly to his kinsmen, 1 done, 2 on the way, 1 epic fail. Next stop on this tour is education... 66/97 - The President promised to establish a federal university in each state of the nation but have they started classes? WIP #GEJpromises 67/79 - He promised to improve hostel facilities across schools in Nigeria. This one will come to pass one day in future. Fail #GEJpromises 68/97 - GEJ promised to revamp the Almajiri Educational system. Weve been told that 150 Almajiri schools we built, so WIP #GEJpromises 69/97 - GEJ promised to work towards improving the education sector so that the economy will improve. Falling standards - fail #GEJpromises 70/97 - GEJ promised to improve the teaching & learning environments in the universities. This hasnt happened, ask ASUU. Fail #GEJpromises 71/97 - GEJ said by 2015, every Nigerian of school age will be in school. Weve the largest number of out of school kids. Fail #GEJpromises To be honest, based on #GEJpromises, his record in education has been woeful. The two WIPs he got, are a stretch. The others, epic failures. The next set of #GEJpromises we will take a look at are those relating to promised reforms. NEPA just brought light so let me reform my gen 72/97 - GEJ promised to facilitate a Bill giving constitutional backing to monarchs. As far as I know, this has happened. Pass. #GEJpromises 73/97 - GEJ promised tax reform so that incidents of multiple taxation will stop forthwith. Theres a Bill in ourNASS. WIP. #GEJpromises 74/97 - GEJ promised, in 2011, that Nigerian Customs will conform to global best practices in 4 years. Those criminals! Fail! #GEJpromises 75/97 - He promised to run a government committed to equity for all. Well, its hard to judge this, so Ill give it WIP. #GEJpromises 76/97 - He promised to lead by example in the anti-graft war. Then on national TV we were told that I dont give a damn. Fail #GEJpromises 77/97 - He promised to build a dynamic economy. To be honest, this seemed good until four months back with the oil prices. Fail #GEJpromises So, when it comes to the reforms part of #GEJpromises, we were made 6 promises, 1 has been delivered, 2 are still in transit, 3 have failed. Next under the microscope of #GEJpromises is security. This one is very close to my heart, and should be close to the hearts of us all! 78/97 - GEJ promised to eradicate kidnappings in the South-East of Nigeria. That has happened, kidnappings a thing of the past #GEJpromises 79/97 - GEJ promised to make anyone caught breaching public peace face the full wrath of the law. Ombatse cult are free. Fail #GEJpromises 80/97 - GEJ promised to make sure that no part of the country will be safe for criminals. Lets take a tour of Isiohor in Benin #GEJpromises 81/97 - GEJ promised to transform the national security architecture, but has left Alex Badeh in office. Epic fail. #GEJpromises 82/97 - we were told that I will confront ethno-religious violence all over Nigeria. This has been on the rise recently. FAIL #GEJpromises 83/97 - We were promised there will be no sacred cows in the fight against corruption. Alams, Stella, Bode, Moro. EPIC FAIL #GEJpromises 84/97 - We were promised no interference in corruption cases. When @realFFK agreed to change pants, his case slowed down. Fail #GEJpromises 85/97 - He promised to strengthen both EFCC and the ICPC. This has not happened, theyve become weaker. Fail. #GEJpromises 86/97 - He promised 2 use modern methods to tackle political violence. I wonder whether these include forgiving Ombatse. Fail #GEJpromises 87/97 - He promised to pursue all bombers and terrorists. The way things look now, theyre the ones pursuing us. EPIC FAIL! #GEJpromises To be honest, #GEJpromises scorecard on security is not good. 10 promises, 1 pass (kidnapping) 9 epic fails. Next, the national question. 88/97 - GEJ promised not to discriminate based on ethnicity and religion. Ill give him this one. He passes. #GEJpromises 89/97 - GEJ promised to run an all inclusive government. Some people are complaining of marginalisation, but hes tried. Pass. #GEJpromises 90/97 - GEJ promised to run an open government. Ive tried accessing info under the FOI, no show. As a journo, Ill say fail. #GEJpromises 91/97 - GEJ promised to conduct free & fair elections. Elections have improved under his watch. Tempted to say WIP, but, pass #GEJpromises 92/97 - He promised to make Nigeria an indivisible entity and bring development to every cranny. On this he has not delivered. #GEJpromises 93/97 - He promised to stand for national unity. When I saw that, I remembered the my people comment of October 2010. Fail #GEJpromises 94/97 - To fight corruption regardless of who is involved. Weve looked at this before, and Id say its a fail (again) #GEJpromises 95/97 - To compensate people displaced by the construction of dams in Niger state. This one is ongoing, so it falls under WIP. #GEJpromises 96/97 - GEJ promised to commit to politics without bitterness and started well. But his actions last year let him down. Fail #GEJpromises 97/97 - GEJ promised justice for all Nigerians. 276 names from Chibok, Christian Ibekwe, Ademola Aderinde. They demand justice! #GEJpromises On this national question thing, #GEJpromises stack up as follow - 3 passes, 1 WIP, 6 fail. Next tweet will tabulate the final score... Total result Pass-18, WIP-31, Fail-48 Courtesy: Chxta of Greece
