This is why Africa is not progressing. People cling on to power for too long. Their presidents turn their country into a personal property.

can u imagine the number of years they av spent in office . Africa wen will u learn

Abacha would have been among the richest aswell and ofcourse still president of Nigeria even as I'm typing..
In this case I will say kudos to "Death" it did a very good job..
At least the wealth went round Nigeria for a little a bit especially to the region that sustains that zoo called Nigeria like my biafra brothers says

These guys are gluttonous

Don't forget GEJ also came in with the intention of staying as life President. Remember his very first bill to the National Assembly just 3 weeks as President (after returning from State visits to Paul Biya and Musevini--- two of the most brutal dictators Africa has ever witnessed)?

7 YR SINGLE TERM AGENDA!!!

Same exact tactic all the African dictators used to sit tight in power. If you think GEJ will leave in 2019 you're all dreaming. Mark my words. GEJ has no plans to leave Aso Rock except in a body bag or casket; it shows in all his actions. He'd rather Nigeria breaks out in a war in hopes that he'd have a Niger Delta Republic to preside over.

You're all in deep sh^it if you don't figure out a way to kick this man out in 2015 because Nigeria is on its way to a one-party state if PDP "wins" next year. There will be no more opposition and PDP will change the constitution to allow him rule for as long as possible...

Well, till war inevitably breaks out eventually.

I am not suprised Goodluck jonathan is on the list. How will he not be When transformation is going on. How will he not be when school children are been abducted and kept in the place they all knew. How will he not be when money missing is the order of the day. How will he not be when he expects to be voted for another tenure in office. How will he not be when the political thieves are given presidential pardon on money rooting. I pray for Nigeria my country...

GEJ dey good joor !

When you gather wealth from a country's treasury,so much that even your families cannot exhaust in 100yrs,then you deserve to be called an animal,just like the whites refer to africans.it isn't their fault,such way of thinking amaze them.And yet everyday,we hear stories of poverty ravaging africa.Maternal mortality (500-800 per 100,000 pregnant women),infant,under-5 mortality still on the high side.when countries like Australia can boast of Maternal mortlity rate of less than 16 per 100,000 pregnant women.Malnutrition,HIV/AIDS,Tuberculosis etc are yet diseases of the tropics.Talk of poor housing,flooding,poor road networks,illiteracy all this are better understood here in Africa.But see how rich men who took an oath to serve their nations are? Even CHAD!!!chaaaaaaa!!!i! In Africa, We are our own problem.Our rulers don't know what it is to make a good name in history,or better still,they are not interested thereby filling there pockets instead.

The biggest thief in Africa is Uhuru Keyantta follow by his deputy Ebele Jonathan. It is now obvious the reason why Jonathan will never fight corruption in Nigeria. A man that vow not to contest for 2015 election and suddenly begin to canvas for seven years when he saw money. GEJ should be removed and probe.
