Nigeria’s leader has ridden out storms over corruption and a terrorist war. But as he stands for re-election, even with 2,000 feared dead from Boko Haram attacks, he remains a clear favourite If the rise of Goodluck Jonathan from unknown zoology professor to president of Africa’s most populous nation was improbable, his bid for re-election may seem even more so.

Who dash?. Observer is a hungry newspaper. The polls are saying a completely different thing with Jonathan likely to lose even in areas he thinks are his strongholds

that is the truth. Jonathan has already won the election. buhari can go and sit his ass in his village after the election.

APC braggadocio is mere grandstanding, they know GEJ would still win.

I stopped reading when I saw GEJ described as a professor of zoology.

It should have been professor of Clueless Ineptitude and corruption.
