It was like yesterday when GEJ gave nigerians a touching speech to solicit for our votes four years ago.
“I am Goodluck Jonathan. I never thought I would be where I am today. I had no shoes, no school bag; I carried my books in my hands to school. I have no enemies to fight. I was not born rich. I am Goodluck Jonathan. If I can make it, you can make it.”
President Jonathan declared in what was perhaps, his most riveting campaign message in the lead-up to the 2011 presidential election in which he defeated his closest challenger, former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari to occupy Aso Rock.
According to a pundits, these simple words from Jonathan, born in Otueke in Bayelsa State to a fishing family, echo the several challenges the 56-year-old president has had to contend with. Again, not necessarily the fact, he “had no shoes and sometimes trekked to school” but also, that statement painted a poignant reference to his tortuous walk to the presidency in the heady days of former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s illness. The former president would later die, paving the way for the inauguration of Jonathan as Nigeria’s president on May 6, 2010.Clearly, that popular, frenzied and somewhat widespread acceptance has escaped Jonathan.
In August 2012, Jonathan claimed he is the world’s most criticised president. He also vows to become the most praised before he leaves office. Again, that leaves open the question of whether he plans to make good that pledge by 2015 or 2019.
Let's hear each other's opinions...

so much hopes placed on this man but.........

I have never seen a man in my life that squandered enormour goodwill given to him in short period of time like Jonathan did within four years.

The man became president accidentally; not by his ambition or plan for the country.

Never again in our lives we should vote for a president base on sympathy.

that was then!

GEJ will win only if he chooses this heading as his new campaign slogan, "before I had no brains, now I don get sense"
