John Kuffor of Ghana should be in the list. He conceded defeat to the late John Atta Mills.

There are civil ways to go about grievances, which Jonathan has shown. Not talking about dogs and blood-soaked baboons... Knowing the kind of followers one has.... Not calling for the heads of "riggers" which ended up misconstrued as NYSC members and any other "sai buhari" unbeliever....

Gracyel:


Oh please, what crimes did he commit that other politicians havent done worse??...Please free the guy jare. Whether you like it or not, GEJ has made Nigeria proud. He has gained the respect of great personalities over the world and a lot of countries. He has proven them all wrong that Nigeria is not the violent country its been painted as, by letting sleeping dogs lie. He has shown maturity and a meek spirit.

luvmijeje:
Imagine that! He's not even the first....... and you people are spamming everywhere while also rewriting history that happen recently as though it's a big deal.

Misogynist2014:
Jonathan has done well. At least we have something to remember him for.

@ OP, permission to share this on my FB wall for some 5th columnist who said GEJ is the first in Africa to concede defeats. This may be an eye opener and enlightenment to broaden their narrow thinking. Friends of GEJ (which am one) have been disturbing my FB walls with GEJ the HERO of Africa. Thanks in anticipation of request granted.

Once again:

I repeat:

How does NOT doing the WRONG thing merit praise? Are Nigerians such savages that any glimpse of civility must be coddled and petted the way you're doing to GEJ? And you want the world to respect you.

There is a very typical Nigerian reaction to criticism, which is to find the nearest offender to compare with: "Is he the only one?"

You need to raise your standards if you ever want to progress.


This quote says much more than I ever could:

bobcharly:
That's really commendable if them..
meanwhile
Sani Abacha & wife went to Aso Rock

JiggamanGh:


No he did not, his two term was over and he wasn't on the ballot.

Why are you guys so adamant on making Goodluck look like a bad man. I felt that he wasn't the right man for the job and nigeria needed a change, but the guy has shown that he cares about nigeria and the lives of Nigerians.

GEJ will be a big contender for the next year's $5m Mo Ibrahim prize for excellent governance.

GEJ is an exemplary leader in an exclusive club.

This quote says much more than I ever could:

godspeed:


if you want to know exactly 'how not doing the wrong thing merits praise' you need not look further than the actions and utterances of your president-elect when he lost the 2011 elections even after failing to achieve 25% of total votes in 24 states and failing to win in any southern state and middle belt save for niger.

whether doing the right thing or not doing the wrong thing; it is highly commendable when somebody takes the right path even when taking the wrong options seems easier and obvious.

Desperate politicians of time past would have invited the military to take over instead of handing over or conceding defeat.

gej has set a precedent with this gesture which no doubt will become a reference point for years to come.
and if you think not doing the wrong thing is no big deal ask parents why they pat their children and buy them gifts when they come top of their class or why corporations pay huge bonuses to their employees for meeting targets or why we even give awards of any kind to people for any ordinary or extra ordinary achievements.

following your line of reason nobody should even be celebebrated since all- yes-all people celebrated by history are people who didn't do the wrong thing

Keneking:
FP please...kindly update with the remaining four so that we shall know that it is not only Otuokeans that has achieved such loss in the past.

[b] 5.GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN: NIGERIA
Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is a Nigerian politician who was President of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, Jonathan was born in what is now Bayelsa State to a family of canoe makers. Jonathan holds a B.Sc. degree in Zoology in which he attained Second Class Honours. He holds an M.Sc.degree in Hydrobiology and Fisheries biology, and a PhDdegree in Zoology from the University of Port Harcourt, which he did not finish according to Olusegun Obasanjo. Before he entered politics in 1998, he worked as an education inspector, lecturer, and environmental-protection officer.
He is a Christian, and he comes from the Ijawethnic group. In 2007, President Jonathan declared his assets worth a total of ₦ 295,304,420 Naira ($1,845,652 USD). However on 9 October 2014, the r ichestlifestyle.com website ranked Mr Jonathan sixth on its list, claiming his net worth was about $100m (£62m). He threatened to sue the website, claiming it "was an attempt to portray him as corrupt." The page was removed, but was then published by another website which estimated Jonathan's net wealth at $10 million. He contested for Nigerian 2015 presidential election which he eventually lost to former dictator, General Muhammadu Buhari. He conceded defeat in a competitive election and became the first sitting Nigerian president to do so. Prior to his role as President, he served as Governor of Bayelsa Statefrom 2005 to 2007 and as Vice-President of Nigeriafrom 2007 to 2010. [/b]

Sorry, doing the right thing and NOT doing the WRONG thing are NOT THE SAME.


Learn the differenceq.

obi4eze:
And they keep telling us that GEJ is the first person to do it in Africa. I reserve my praise for him till he hands over. Even at that I don't trust him. We have seen his height of desperation and deceit.
He should just do and hand over because his administration leaves bad memories.

May God bless and protect our President-elect.
