President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday called on
leaders to leave good legacies behind while in office,
saying he would like to be remembered as a leader
who played his part and quit the stage after leaving
something for future generations to cherish.
Mr. Jonathan spoke in Okrika, Rivers state, on Friday
at the burial of his mother-in-law, Charity Oba.
He said the most important thing for leaders was to
be remembered for the good things they left behind
after leaving office.
“The key thing is that whether you are being buried
silently or you have the privilege of being honoured
by so many people, is what did you leave behind?
“And to me as a political leader and to most of my
friends here who are politicians, politics or holding
political office is almost like death.
“While you are there, you are on the stage . The day
you leave, what will people remember you for?.
“That has always been my guiding principle, no
matter the comments, whether the comments are to
the left, right or at the centre.
“What challenges me every day is that the day I step
out of the State House, what will the present and
future generations of Nigerians remember me for?.
“I believe that is what will guide most of us who are
holding political offices.’’
Mr. Jonathan described Mrs Oba as a generous
mother and a wonderful woman worthy of emulation.
He said that although Mrs Oba stayed shortly, his
family would remember her for all she did for them.
In her speech, the First Lady, Patience
Jonathan, described her mother as hardworking,
generous and caring for her children.
“Mama never failed to amaze us. When she was alive,
she continued to show the same affection even as
grown up adults.
“She provided for us even as wife of Deputy
Governor, wife of Governor, wife of Vice-President,
and as wife of President until she breathe her last.
The First Lady said that her mother continued to
provide food for her family even as wife of the
President.
“Mama Sisi never demanded for anything from you
and never thought of your status in life, no matter
who you were , instead, she continued playing the
role of a mother and was a very generous woman,
who took delight in feeding many people all the
time,’’ she said.
Earlier, Prof. Samuel Nwora, Head of Sabbath Church
in Rivers, described death as a submission to the will
of God.
He reminded Christians of the need to be obedient to
the will of God, saying that it was unchristian to show
rebellion to authority.
He condemned rebellion and insubordination of all
kinds, which he explained, was the sin of Satan in
heaven.
Mr. Nwora urged Christians to always respect
constituted authority which, he said, had a blessing
from God.
Mrs Oba died in a ghastly auto accident along the
East-West Road in Rivers State, on July 22 at the age
of 67.
Here is Mrs. Oba’s brief biography, written by Isiaka
Aliagan, a principal officer in the Office of the First
Lady .

This cretin will be remembered as Nigeria's weakest and dumbest president ever.

A common thief, a defender of militants, brother to Boko Haram, an utterly corrupt clueless man who cannot control his wife.

A national disgrace to his community, the academia and Nigerians worldwide.

Even when their rights are been trampled upon? Haba! Stop inducing fear into people all in the name of God.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride!

Couldn't have put it any better.

The man is a professional person.

Who dashed the person a PhD?

As the only president who dated three members of his cabinet and refused to do the needful when it mattered.

What evidence do you have he dated members of his cabinet?

After 6 years in office, I think ODE comes to mind!

I am currently watching an Al-Jazeera interview with one of the 2 female candidates that are favourite for the Chilean Presidency in the upcoming elections.

She is speaking so intelligently in English (a second language) and I am sitting here wondering "And Nigerians voted for this person baboon called Jonathan? ".

When you hear him talk, you will have no doubt he is just immensely intellectually bereft.

Why bother?
He's just one of most who are far worse. We should be asking those who voted for him, what the heck they were thinking. But hey, like calls to like, I guess

And the rest of us suffer for their choices.

That is why I have always been belligerent on NL. I see fucktards as really dangerous to society. Both as leaders and as followers.

A sane, intelligent and strong leader would not set up a committee to investigate how or if his minister spent $1.6m to buy 2 cars.

A sane, intelligent and strong leader would call the minister to a meeting and ask them face-to-face to provide details of their knowledge and involvement in the purchase.

Dem no born a minister well to lie on such issues in the face of a sane, intelligent and strong leader.

Within 2 hours, you will have a case of resignation or no resignation.

Then you follow it up with further investigation to verify what is said and/or what laws are broken and what charges should be brought.

Wow!

GEJ is going to have a heart attack if he sees this thread.

And the his Hippo wife is not helping matter at all. He will surely be remembered as the most cursed and abused president Nigeria ever had.

Igbos love him.

Now here is a country with a president that has a brain:

24 hours and he acted.

His action will definitely kill the political career of this person.

Our own president helps fucktards stay in power and pardons the ones that have lost power so they can come back into the game.
