August 21, 1986. 1,700 people and 3,000 herds of cattle and other livestock died after the eruption of a volcanic Lake Nyos in Cameroon. The Lake represents the biggest ecological (flood) threat to Nigeria. This disaster, if allowed to occur, will destroy several states in Nigeria especially Taraba, Benue, Cross River, Kogi and Delta and it is imminent. (Think about Haiti for 1 Minute, that’s a real Disaster there!) What did Jonathan do?
Yes it his Job (Hian)! Were there
not many other governments and Presidents in this Country that did nothing
about it? But no, he would not wickedly, or like the others before him ignore
the future’s ugly reality. President Jonathan gave competent Female Minister
Mrs. Sarah Ochekpe the go-ahead and approved 100% funding of $1bn for one of
the country’s most ambitious Projects; the Kashimbilla Multipurpose Buffer Dam Project
which will not just prevent the devastating flood but harness its potentials to
become a Major Source of Life.
The Dam presently at over 90%
completion will now serve to ensure;
Water Supply (60,000 Cu.m/Day),
Irrigation (Net – 2,000Ha) and provide Electricity - Hydropower generation:
(40MW)
The Scope of the Project covers: Construction of the Main Dam; Construction of Water
Treatment Plant; Construction of an Access
Road; Construction of an Hydropower
Plant; Development of Irrigation
Network; Construction of Air Strip and Rehabilitation of Kashimbilla
- Jato-Aka road (21km). Photos below:
To date, remarkable progress has
been achieved in all the various parts of the project. The Kashimbilla Dam project is therefore a proactive preemptive
response by the Federal Government of Nigeria to the report of the United Nations
Environmental Programme (UNEP) of great catastrophe that might result from
imminent collapse of Lake Nyos.
What should be done for a man who has done this much? Thank him

Wow. Never knew.
Nice strategy.
What should the electorate do to a democratically elected President for performing his duty? PdP forgot that Jonathan is paid monthly to channel tax payers money to projects and policies that wil better the nation. So we should thank him for what exactly?

story for d chickens, sai baba, sai buhari
Oh my God!!!! This is so lame. People died in Cameroon not because of flooding. It was gases from the eruption. The person that sponsored this post should be flogged.
What is the connection between lake nyos and kashimbila?
Funniest post ever

In that case, Buhari saved the earth from colliding with the moon.

Most of the projects done by GEJ are long term projects. No wonder he said ' you would thank me later' GEJ till 2015
Send him back 2 otuoke
Rubbish.
So he responded to the UNEP report here, but wouldn't respond to the UNEP report on the clean up of Ogoni land... Kai.. Jonathan Hates Rivers State Indeed...
APC fams will be like it's nothing.....GEJ till 2019
My dear Linda, it's the uniformed and the desperate power grabber that is of those view that this administration ain't doing anything. Those that believes that they will in one way or the other benefit from the inevitable looting of Tinubu and his cronies will want and say all ills to the present administration. Am an independent entrepreneur, am battling wit power, bad road, et al, but I do know that progress is being made in these various sector. The rot didn't start 4 yeras ago. It requires systemic planning and not a magic want as know one has that at the moment. My only happiness is that the ruling party has no monopoly to power again, that will in turn keep them to their toes, is the opposition better, I really do not think so, but then I like the pressure they are putting on the administration to do better. I've always had the conviction the GEJ would want to do his best irrespective of all studs albeit He should be careful with some of his advisers. He needs to do more. The problem with Nigeria is that most people are beclouded with sentiments and parochial views and interest.
PDP HAS FAILED Nigeria STOP WITH THE POSTING
Story for the gods o. Since 1986? I Laff in pidgin.
Wait! Na me no read well, or are they trying to tell us that the 'so-called' lake still hasn't been completed since 1986? Siiiiiiiince??? I'm confused
This is some confused piece of shit. Did he save Nigeria in 1986. and the construction is still 90% done. Get life you PDP sponsor and take several seats.
Hmmmmm
Good..
Good..
Go to school or go back to school.
When you have to sponsor Posts to show people what you've done then you know they didn't see anything all through the 6 years.
#smh I'm Ibo but will vote Buhari and I can't wait to hear how 2 (SS and SE) will be greater than 4. After all 17 was greater than this 19.
It simply means that if he did not take this bold step in the right direction a repeat of 1986 might just happen ok
Na im Papa money e take build am? No be our money?
1986?
Jonathan president in 1986? Either this blogger or Mr.President's promoters are losing it somewhere.
Rubbish. He is doing his job. E kosi lo Jare.
They had to dig the stuff he did ages ago to prove their point. The question is, what did he do as the president in his six years? Maybe he is better of as a follower and spectator, not everyone is made to lead afterall.
GEJ al d way!
Sai Buhari! Vote Buhari for President.
GEJ till 2019
Ignorance is inscribed in you. Gullible twat
So what.......so jona don dey shop money since 80's mehn no b small thing.

This is the biggest lie ever. How can the Lake Nyos which is not near the Nigerian border flood your country. The disaster was caused by poisonous gas, how does the dam help in this case. I am Cameroonian and was affected by the Lake Nyos disaster....This post is such a lie that I had to post for the first time in the comments
Looool.. Linda ikeji. Tell the sponsors of this post say we they thank them. Lol. SMH.. I sorry for Nigerians.
Aboki d fool..... Dats what u er so stop deceiving urself with da worri boy.
You are greatest foolish oloshi when ur papa dey among people wey dey carry the country money u and your pdp people will not die well
Don't mind them my broda
This post is clearly a lie. Why would they stoop so low for votes. This beats me anyways change is the only constant thing in life. Jonathan has failed it is time for someone else to try the shoe.
Miss Fonsie, your comment that this post was a lie is not true.
Lake Nyos is situated on the Cameroon Mountain at an elevation higher than the adjoining Benue and Katsina-Ala plains in Nigeria. The lake flows into the tributaries from which the Katsina–Ala River takes its source, crossing the Nigeria-Cameroon border at a point 108 kilometers from Nyos. The river then proceeds north-westerly into Benue River at a point 40 kilometers east of Makurdi, Benue State
The Kashimbilla Multipurpose Buffer Dam Project by the GEJ Administration was necessary because of the imminent danger of Lake Nyos Dam-break. The major threat to Nigeria is in the highly unstable upper parts of the lake body which holds about 50 million cubic meters of water. An analysis of Lake Nyos dam-break reported by WADASCO (1990) shows that “the flood produced will reach about 19000m2/s at the dam site corresponding to a flow depth of over 18 meters.
The science behind the disaster is fairly simple. Lake Nyos is a deep pool of water sitting in the throat of a dormant volcano which erupted. The magma then released the carbon dioxide and other gases, which travelled upward through the earth and then asphyxiated nearly every living being in the surrounding valley community.
The post mentions that the disaster was caused by the eruption of a volcanic Lake Nyos in Cameroon.

this is bogus. .jonathan in 1986!!!! jonathan was no where near a government appointment talk less in a position to spend $1billion to build a dam n if so why didn't we heart of it wen he was campaigning 4 yes ago? ?? All na lie... another pdp scam!!!!!!!
Useless president
@Safiu Mohammed
Yes, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam cost $4.8 billion and is hyped to generate 6000 mw when completed but mind you, the dam and its hydropower plant are massively over-sized as its available power output, based on the average of river flow throughout the year and the dam height, is about 2,000 megawatts, not 6,000.
While the Kashimbilla Multipurpose Buffer Dam Project by the GEJ Administration which also covers Construction of Water Treatment Plant, Construction of an Access Road, Development of Irrigation Network, Construction of Air Strip and Rehabilitation of Kashimbilla - Jato-Aka road (21km) cost $1 billion and is expected to generate 40MW.
Also factor that available power output is based on the average of river flow throughout the year. And therefore you might be able to get as much megawatts as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
Lol,he has done well
Yes its a story, but its TRUE.
GEJ 2019
Good project, good job, beautiful intention. It is his job and should be part of our expectations. Kudos to him.
But did you just say, 1 billion dolls for the project? Haba! I pity this dear Nation and citizens as our politicians and leaders loot under the umbrella of projects. And I mean, from all parties, APC, PDP, ZAP or whatever party.
It is a shame that nothing gets accounted for. I can't imagine how much Lagos State claimed that the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge was constructed. SMH and pity generations to come.
na true google am.....al of una wey no belive wan die like those ignorant people die .....may there soul rip no dey beef them ooo just dey use taht to dey send message to blind nigerian
GeJ is too good. Has his eyes over everything. GEJ till 2019.
By bankrupting it abi how?? Mtscheewww...go online and open your eye's, or else your children will have nothing and nowhere to call home if President Clueless continues he's reign.
I seriously think the IQ of people in jonathan campaign team be check. This same people sited Facebook, twitter, Youtube as Jonathan's achievement and some low IQ followers join in the stupidity. The election as shown how low the IQ of some Nigerian are and the are the ones supporting jonathan
Abegi.... where a lecturer for get $1Bn to a minister @1986?
Gej all the way
Good work GEJ, good work, keep it up.
