Excerpts From Obasanjo's Book About Jonathan - Cramjones by Nobody: 1:30pm On Dec 11, 2014
I can't agree more, baba. My boss, my mentor!

.....I was in Sierra Leone on the day Boko Haram [bombed] the UN building in Abuja. As soon as I returned to Nigeria I
called the inspector-general of police to hear his views on the issue. I was not impressed with his explanation. I also
talked to the then national security adviser and his explanation was substantially blank. I went to Jonathan, the
president, on the same issue. His reaction, and his view that Boko Haram were ‘a bunch of riffraffs’ left me even
colder.
The one incident that overtly and graphically exposed the ineptitude, ineffectiveness, inefficiency, carelessness,
cluelessness, callousness, insensitivity and selfishness of Goodluck Jonathan was the abduction of about 276 school
girls from Chibok in Borno State by Boko Haram. The reaction and attitude of our president and his household was non-
belief, to the extent that 18 days passed before he grudgingly concede to accept the reality of the abduction. If serious
action had been taken within 48 hours, the story could have been different......

......I was not surprised that the president went dancing twenty-four hours after the Nyanya explosion that took seventy-five
lives. I also found believable the statement allegedly credited to the president after both the Nyanya explosion and the
Chibok school girls abduction to the effect that since some people in the North had said that they would make Nigerian
ungovernable, they could keep on killing and abducting each other.
If these girls are not released, it will be a big dent on the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan, and a dark blot on Nigeria’s
reputation and history; and, for years and indeed decades, Nigeria will continue to live with the agony and memory of
the action and inaction of leadership regarding the Chibok school girls. But what is more, a bad precedent would have
been created; Boko Haram has tasted blood and will always want more… Who knows, another group of terrorists might
have learned from Boko Haram. This time it is Chibok; next time it could be Ibogun or Otueke.
Vice-President Biden had categorically told Jonathan during the African Summit in Washington in August 2014 that with
the state of his governance and the level of the destruction of the military, they would not be able to help Nigeria......

mtcheew, as if Obj himself is a saint! Goodluck just happened to hav d badluck of coming unto d podium at a time when his style of governance couldn't help a nation in dire need of urgent measures. atrocities were committed in their numbers under d right watch of Obj himself. or make I start dey list them? he's just a self-installed Godfather who wants to supervise every minute aspect of governance, pple like him wouldn't retire unless they are forced to. she reason he fell out with Yaradua and same reason he would not normally endorse Buhari.

Obj is simply a disgruntled humanbeign seeking a pound of flesh for his outstar from Gej's government. Because he is not worshiped and thited by Gej's government as he ought, he chooses to go viral with his broken heart. Can Obj please explain to us, the whole drama behind Ngige's election, his house arrest and the treason comitted under his nose? Can Obj tell us why militancy and kidnaping ravaged Niger delta under his administration? Even with his bombing of Udi, which was world widely condemned. As a master in waging insurgency, Why couldnt he mastermind strateties to end it? Since he is now excluding his administration from inheriting thesame bokoharam that he is using as tool to discredit his successor who has aready achieved more in 5years than he (Obj) could achieve in 8years. Can Obj explain to Nigerians, how his N20k acct balance b4 2009 transformed into mega Dollars today after occupying the no 1 citizen's seat for 8years? I am neither a pro nor anti Gudluck. For I am a politics non-partisan. But Obj is just confused bigot whose brains has sagged and therfore forgets so quickly. He is not to be taken seriously.
