[b]This is not about whether he was scammed in southwest or not. The people of the SW and north spoke the truth with their votes. It is unfortunate the Igbos made a wrong political gamble by supporting GEJ even though he failed woefully and did nothing tangible for their region. They failed to forget the past and embrace national unity hence their political decisions has always damaged their chances of having a major political influence or relevance in the Nigerian system.

There were so many indications that Jonathan was going to lose - He prepared late; he was careful with the timing of his declaration, when body language showed he was interested. He had no message for the people. All I heard were trains and fertilizers, YouWin, benin-Ore road and SureP(Really?) for 6 years. His campaign strategies reeled of derogatory statements and unnecessary personality attacks instead of concrete manifestos. APC employed consultants, PDP employed losers (FFKs, Okupe, Abati, Reuben, TANs etc). Jonathan heated the polity with ethnic-religious campaign strategies, jumping from one church to another; what do you think the Muslims would do? His wife continued to make derogatory statements against the North calling them names for making babies they can't cater for and insulting them with the constant mention of Almajiri schools. He was deceived by his aides , greedy people around him and he became a sectional leader. He was a bad product and I made mention of this regularly, a bad product never sells.

So I would say he scammed himself, he deceived himself by running to the south west bribing kings for endorsements as if the masses don't know what they really want.


He has successfully created a divide along tribal, religious and ethnic line all around the country and it will take a massive national reorientation to restore our national unity.

I will not pat him at the back for conceding defeat cos he already knew what awaits him if he acted on the contrary. He was part of the crew that ousted Gbagbo and he is fully aware of the watchful eyes of the ICC and I'm sure he wouldn't wanna spend the rest of his life in Jail.

Gej should have won this elections easily if he had the interest of the masses at heart. He will forever live with the stigma of the first incumbent president to be ousted in Nigeria.[/b]

Very correct.
I think this is worth being on the front page.

GEJ is not a good politician. Obasanjo was not better in terms of integrity but he played the game well. Goodluck organized an election that served the opposition better.

Let's hope that Buhari delivers his promises. MY fear still remains those people working with him.

Buhari is not an angel but things will be better than it is now

He rose from Deputy Governor of one of the smallest states to President of the biggest black nation. He has tried for himself. Yes he has his faults as we all do but let him be. People lose every day.

I'm with you. He stabbed himself in the face! He has to concede of course. I'm sure he was consoled. But one thing for sure is that I will always remember him as a matured President who maturedly loot the treasury at will. Victory for Nigerians!

Nobody cares how he rose from gutter to the president. We all have stories of ups and downs. We willingly voted him in 2011. The name Goodluck was a movement then. His story decieved us and his humility was misinterpreted for honesty. Unfortunately he has successfully made himself one of the most corrupt presidents in our national history.

Hope he lives long. He should not play a Yar Adua on us.

People should know that God loves our dear country call Nigeria & he therefore allowed this election to go d way it went. As for me, Jonathan remain an hero, elections must be won and there must be a looser. Apc must work hard to consolidate on d transformation agenda of mr president which part of it has earned them d highest office in d land. What is on ground now is beyond geo-political zones but Nigeria project.

Bad Adminstration was what killed GEJ tenure in office... I pray GMB time help make thing better for us...

The only person that made any worthwhile statement here, thank you jare. the creator of this thread just speaks with in an uninformed and biased way. Jonathan may not have been the ideal president but you should give credit where it is due and POC he's barely 5 years as a president.

when GEJ became d president he was a messiah now ppl call him bad luck. now buhari is god sent I wonder what ppl would call him when he leaves office.
