Free yourself from godfathers  – Jackson Helpus – Delta state
Jonathan should now deliver himself from the grip of the godfathers in order to deliver the dividends of democracy to the masses.  He is from Niger Delta like me, he should concentrate on building refineries across the country.

Jackson, Chibuike, Adamu, Bello., Sunday and Akinwande

This will enable us to stop importation of refined products.  He should also tackle the power problem headlong and ensure that we have stable electricity.  The problem of power is affecting everybody, the rural and urban areas should be lit and industries will grow in the urban areas while life will be better in the rural areas too. He should be able to give it to us and pay at a low cost.  I

Fix roads, power and agric — Chibuike Igwe, Trader, Anambra State.

Yes, I voted for him. It is now his turn to remember the cries of the poor people.  His policies should not be against the man on the streets because we voted for him.  If he makes life better for the masses, his name will never be forgotten.

We have seen past presidents, they did nothing to affect the lives of the people and we know what people said about them. So, he has the golden opportunity to etch his name on the sand of time.  He should fix the roads, make power available and affordable, embark on good agricultural policies that will make food affordable and available in unlimited quantities.

Uninterrupted power will make him a hero — Adamu Madhi from Borno state.

I voted for him just because I want Nigeria to stop this tribalism.  I also know that he can deliver on his promises. I want him to concentrate on power and make it regular.

Nigeria can have electricity 24 hours every day, we are bigger than some of the countries that have uninterrupted electricity, so, why cant we have it. If it is only that he can deliver to Nigeria before the end of his four-year term, I want to tell you Nigerians will want him to continue.

We don’t have water running in our homes, our roads are bad and corruption is everywhere.  All the politicians know all these but the will not do it.  If he can pick one and deliver before his four-year term, he will be a hero.  For me, I am praying for him to succeed.

Portable water, power, education should be the focus — Alhaji Mustapha Bello, Sokoto state.
I sincerely did not vote for him, but since he won, he has become our leader.  Election promises are very light on the lips of politicians, they will say everything, but do nothing.

If President Jonathan will keep to his promise, it will be good.  The areas I want him to concentrate on are water, power and education. (baa ruwa, baa utta, baa makaranta).  If he is able to do all this, everybody will be happy and Nigeria will be better.

I’m still sceptical about his ability to deliver his promises — Sunday Nwabara, Orlu, Imo State.

I did vote for him and I was happy when the result was announced.  But you see you cannot hold Nigerian politicians by their words.

They will tell you another thing and very soon you will be hearing he tried and tried whereas he did not deliver any of his promises.  What I want him to do may not matter because I know they politicians.  In my area for example, we have cried for portable water, roads and health facilities in my village, but politicians always come and go with their promises.

We never mind, we keep going and we still vote for them because we believe all of them are the same. If only President Jonathan can deliver on his promises, then he will be the best president Nigeria has had. But I am still sceptical about his ability to deliver his promises.

Let there be light — Akinwande Olatunde, Lagos State.

Yes, I voted for him because I believe we need a leader that is God-fearing and divinely-inspired.  He has those qualities and he has proven beyond doubt that he can deliver on his promises.

I know with another four-year term before him, Nigeria is up for greatness.  The first thing I want him to address is power. No economy in the whole world grows without a stable power system.  He should try and fix that.

There will be employment, the micro-industries will rise again and economy will grow.  In doing this, he should allow each state under the Independent Power Project to generate power at least 100MW.  This in no time will translate to nothing less than 3600MW and if you add it to the existing 4000MW then we would be having about 7600MW.

This is enough to ensure stable and uninterrupted power in Nigeria. If you project like that for another four years, you will have a continuos increase in the Mega Watts production. So, in 2015, Nigeria should have nothing less than 14,000MW.  Secondly he should address security issues.

All these violence here and there should be stopped and people should live together happily and peacefully.   He should also address the youth issue, government should create a vocational training embedded in the school curriculum so that when they are out of school, they can start to create jobs instead of searching for jobs.

Stop corruption, tribalism — Alhaji Moshood Danbaba, Pepper dealer, Mile 12, Lagos.

The President should focus on agriculture.  He should make it the major thrust of his policies.  Whatever he wants to do, should revolve round agriculture.  There should be orientation in schools about the need for our youth to embark on agriculture.

We can even make it compulsory for every family to engage in subsistence farming. This is the only way to ensure food surplus in the country.   I want him to move against corruption and tribalism.  Violence in any part of the country will not do us any good. He should endeavour to put an end to these problems. These are the major areas that should be looked into.
