From Mr. Etcetera...
I think I am the most criticised President in the
whole world, but I want to tell this audience that
before I leave, I will be the most praised
President,” said President Goodluck Jonathan at
the opening of the 52nd Annual General Meeting
of the Nigerian Bar Association at the
International Conference Centre in Abuja.
Hey guys, I guess you know that pointing fingers is
not my style, hahaha, just as I know that it will be
difficult to find a single Nigerian who hasn’t pointed
fingers at President Goodluck Jonathan since he
became President. But really, can so many fingers be
pointed at a single individual all at the same time?
Some people have gone to the extent of saying that
since Jonathan took office, everything has gone to
hell in a handbasket. Others have held him
responsible for everything that has gone wrong in the
country, from the tear in their pants to the economy.
Trust me: Nigerians are beginning to agree that when
it comes to assigning blame, look to Jonathan first.
There are some hardliners who don’t care if Jonathan
wasn’t President during the civil war. He must have
been thinking about it, and that’s good enough
reason for them. They even say that if he hadn’t been
sticking his nose into government, the civil war
wouldn’t have happened. Funny, Nigerians have
found the perfect target for dealing with their bad
days. Late to work? Blame Jonathan! Did the soup in
the fridge melt when you weren’t looking? It’s
Goodluck Jonathan. Can’t find your smelling socks?
Jonathan! Your baby pees on the chair, again?
Jonathan. The possibilities are endless! Hey, are we
not just being unfair to Goodluck Jonathan? We
blame him for all and everything. Even for things that
are not his fault. Let me ask you something sir or
madam, if Jonathan is to blame for everything wrong
in Nigeria today, what becomes of the previous
presidents under whose regimes most of these
problems started?
On Tuesday evening on my way back from NTA, I
stopped at the Bar Beach to buy suya. I was a little bit
early because I met the aboki lighting his charcoal. As
I waited, I saw two weird looking rastas looking like
archangels Michael and Gabriel in their white Cele
garments walk down to just about five yards from the
water, raised their holy robes in unison like atilogwu
dancers trying to master a new dance routine and
bent down and began to defecate. Couples of
minutes later, I heard them walking back complaining
of how dirty and smelly the beach had become from
what it used to be. As they passed by me, the taller
one said “omo naija, presido no dey try at all. See as
this place don yamayama finish, dem no dey see as
those oyinbo beach be for inside film wey we dey
watch?” At that point, I couldn’t hold back my anger. I
just had to say something: “Shebi na una just shit
finish for that place so? And una get mouth dey
blame the president. Una see him shit for there?”
We are having a distant relationship with the truth in
this country. We have developed that rare ability to
be hypocritical and not so much as give a damn
whether we are equally guilty of the things we are
blaming on others. In truth, Goodluck Jonathan
should roll up his sleeves, spit on his palms and get
to work on a lot of things. We keep saying that
corruption escalated under his regime but why do we
keep failing to associate it with the fact that these
corrupt individuals are Nigerians? I listened to some
custom officers saying that If it wasn’t for Goodluck
Jonathan’s backward policies, everything at the
Nigerian borders would be perfect. Yes, let us keep
dumping everything on Goodluck Jonathan. Even our
own responsibilities as citizens. He’s the reason our
custom and police officers are more interested in
collecting bribes than fighting crime and checking for
contraband goods coming into the country. It is also
Jonathan’s fault that the security operatives at the
Lagos airport have all turned beggars. Should the
president also take the rap for the Director-General
of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria not being
able to see that the nation is littered with fake
products? Maybe Goodluck Jonathan should be with
him daily and point him towards fake products and
manufacturers. The fight to save this country does
not begin or stop at Janathan’s table. It must be an all
Nigerian battle. Let the pastors stop praying for
corrupt politicians and tell them to their faces to stop
stealing public funds. If all drivers have their
complete vehicle papers and obey traffic laws, there
will be no need to give out money to the police and
we will be on our way to a better society.
Ask yourself where your governor got the billions he
spends on frivolities? People in the rural areas of
Akwa Ibom state are living in thatched houses and we
are building another stadium? Have you tried asking
what the Abia State Government did with the state’s
allocation for eight years? Do you think President
Jonathan will be allowed a minute of sleep if he failed
to remit monies due to the states? So why then do we
pour all the blames on him? Your governor owns
empty estates in Dubai and factories in South Africa
when people of their states are homeless and
jobless, is that Jonathan’s fault too? Where did we get
the preposterous notion that President Jonathan took
office and people started having trouble finding jobs?
Did we have a zero unemployment rate in the country
before President Jonathan? Millions of Nigerians are
working their asses out and dying as contract staffs
and casual workers, where is the NLC? Is it not aware
of the appalling working conditions Nigerian workers
are subjected to by multinationals? Of course, it is all
Jonathan’s fault. Last time I checked, Jonathan was a
president or a magician. Should he be doing the job
of the NLC too, supervising every sector of the
country at the same time? Let us be truthful to
ourselves, since when have we had good roads in
this country? Were there roads in the country that
Jonathan destroyed? Have we had electricity in the
country before President Jonathan? We say Boko
Haram started as a result of poverty and lack of
education in the North, were there schools in the
North that Jonathan destroyed? Trust me, the
architects of Boko Haram know what they’re talking
about when they say it is all Jonathan’s fault.
For everyone out there, below are a list of things
Goodluck Jonathan is yet to be blamed for, so go
ahead and make your pick and let the blame game
continue: Cancer, AIDS, racism, air pollution, sin,
child porn, human meat at Jankara market, home
video, obesity, Drake sleeping with everyone’s chic,
Kim Kardashian’s nude picture, tribalism and every
other kind of ism, Arsenal’s trophyless seasons,
Facebook, Twitter and Wizkid’s last album.

obviously - u didnt read what he wrote.

Etcetera was spot on!
Peeps tend to neglect their normal duties as citizens of the country and sought for the easy way out..blame the president!!



Another man bleep ur Gf...Blame Jona
Your Papa beat ur Mama...Blame Jona
U dey get low sperm count...Blame Jona
Your bobby don fall scatter. ...Blame Jona

Ah Ah!!!! Una wan kill the man?

they don't read before making comnents

Make una no mind am, them no go read, them go just open moutg like fowl yansh dey yab rubish 4 nl

Jonathan's body language and utterances are fertile ground for corruption.

If he had sent Maina who stole old peoples pension to life imprisonment.. People would observe and adjust.

Instead he says " stealing is not corruption"

Burahis emergence as president will make the environment toxic for corruption. Public officers who dare to will be severely punished and that dictates the mood for the rest of the citizens.

Judgement will be swift and severe and everybody sits up. It is on this platform that any meaningful development can come.

How are jobs created? By entrepenuers opening business and employing citizens to work..but do you know how many multinationals cannot establish businesses in Nigeria because corrupt officials are demanding " something" from them which translates to bribery in their home country and they would be surely punished for it...when found out...remember the Halliburton scandal?

A friend in Dallas got a 230$ fine for not stopping at a stop sign when driving.(he just came in from Nigeria).. Now he is extra careful when driving looking out for traffic signs,traffic lights and speed limits.

In Ohio littering the streets with refuse will get you at about 1000$ fine.

If you board a train without ticket...your personal data will be collected by fare enforcement officers and you will receive a citation...interesting how they do this in a very polite manner...I am sure you will prefer to buy your 5$ ticket before you board the train instead of getting a fine of about 175$ as fine .

I asked myself. Why is this place and why are these people so organised.... After plenty observations I realised that ...because the penalty for breaking laws are so severe and justice is served quickly... People take extra care not to break those rules and over time obeying rules and doing things orderly comes naturally to them..

Jonathan is getting a lot of stick because he promised Nigerians fresh air with his transformation agenda...and we dared to believe him unlike many others whom we know needed our votes and would promise heaven on earth to get it.

Sadly Jonas fresh air has a horrible smell conducive to thieves...we dared to believe him but he has betrayed us and he is a friend of thieves.

@ Etcetera, I saw tribalism in your list.


remember they said he has divided the country along ethnic lines.

Even when a ranking politician from Bornu state some days back said that any one who votes for GEJ is an enemy of the north.

They've made the country presidency a war by the north & point at GEJ for dividing the country.

What you guys fail to understand is that when Nigerians blame GEJ for every thing bad,they are just saying we need good leadership.
You would be amazed by the radical change in behaviour by the average Nigerian if we can have a leader that practices what he
preaches.The prevailing notion(a bad one at that) is 'since dem(our leaders)dey do,me i no be mugu,i go do too.

OP, thanks for the post.
Imagine Nigerians cheating in the churches and mosques they worship God/Allah through contract to expand the church/mosque building and will blame GEJ for their actions. Am I to believe that the spirit of discerning what is good from what is bad has disappeared from our religious brothers and sisters?
I indeed pity GEJ because most Nigerians now see GEJ as the architect of their evil ways.

True talk sir. They are free to insult him and say what ever they want to say about our president but they are not his God. Somepeople will die of shock when Jonathan wins this election and he must win because he has to complete his tenure. Somepeople will just open their smelling mouth and insult Jona as if, if they are in his position they will do well, nonsense. GEJ till 2019.
