I know Jonathan's supporters are angry he lost the election, but they should stop making mockery of themselves.

You are my friend on this forum, I don't want to see you drive yourself to suicide on this Buhari matter. Go to court if you feel aggrieved, or is that not what you used to say? Your master ran one of the worst governments in Nigeria that makes Abacha look like Angel Gabriel with over-bloated ministers including Wike that can't even spell well even as a lawyer. Nobody stampeded him or forced him into decision, even when some of these ministers were severally indicted for corruption. Please leave Nigeria's messiah alone to clean up the mess of the transformation of people's pockets and garages that your gutless master left as a legacy. The 15M+ people that voted for him are very much satisfied with his actions and inactions so far and will continue to support him till 2019 no matter how much wailing you wail.

Hmmm...if gowon was pro capitalist then d IV 2 US would have been a good opportunity 4 him 2 identify with d cradle of capitalism. If on d other hand buhari is pro socialist, his romance with d west seems 2b a contradiction of his ideology. Is this what u are trying 2 posit?
. Buhari's romance is with the socialist and propagandist Democrat party who share similar values with progressives. The problem is the APC is a confused colony of freeloaders and technically have no common agenda. That unfortunately is what Obama isn't aware of. Also this is the twilight of the Obama administration and next year we may likely see a Republican government. With that goes any deal the Buhari government may have with the US. This is the CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER.

. To be honest, you are the worst analyst on this platform, you are never clear on issues, you are always way of the mark and your partisanship is glaring. You should have simply given your take on the issue and not take a swipe at the op. The message the op wanted to pass across was the difference between the administration of Gowon and that of Buhari. And also FYI: Jonathan was never clueless like the washed up retired OBJ would like us all to believe. If you know how smart and cunning Jonathan is you would have pity for Buhari
A government no matter how complex it is, mirrors the personality of the man at the top. Take a constructive look at Buhari's government and put it alongside that of Jonathan and you will see clearly that which everyone fail to realise

If you think GEJ is not dull, then I pity you. Ask security personnel, soldiers in guards brigade Abuja and they will tell you how "intelligent" your so called GEJ is.

The 1970s was truly the golden era of Nigeria's diplomacy, and arguably, that era also paraded the finest administrators and bureaucrats we have ever had. Highly educated (in the real sense, not the vainglorious parade of meaningless heaps of certificates and qualifications we see these days), highly sofisticated and genteel, highly charismatic, and highly eloquent and capable men across the foreign service and government bureaucracy.

Brings tears to my eyes when I compare that generation to the present-day nincompoops and bumbling misfits who forced themselves into the bureaucracy through 'connections', nepotism, and all forms of favouritism that have reduced Nigeria to the mediocre joke that it is today.

Obviously, you don't know a diddly square about American politics if you call Democratic party a propagandist party. For your information, Republicon party is the master propaganda party and next year Nov, a Democrat is going to be a president elect. I am patiently waiting to pull that lever for a democratic nominee. The Republicon presidential primary going on now is a big comedy show featuring the likes of Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and the other clowns.

. And this is partisan to you right
I clearly elucidated on the difference between both administrations. The government of Gowon knew where it stood and had no reservations about it while PMB and his party are seriously confused on all issues including what pyjamas he should wear at night

I made my conclusions based on your previous posts, plus it was so easy spotting the sentiments in your former post. You did elucidated the differences Yes!, but in your own opinion though - which was clearly one sided.
You said they are confused, you never gave reasons why.

The bottom line is that Jonathan was over his head as a leader and he was a monumental failure. I have always said he couldn't be a councilman here and if Buhari fails to perform, the same faiths awaits him. Let's hold the feet of this worthless leaders to fire. They are public servants not public looters. Until there is a massive revolution like the one that kicked Ferdinand Marcos out of the Phillipines, Nigeria will be a mess. Buhari must turn things around and if he doesn't, the country will rise against him like they did Jonathan. Critiquing your leadership is the highest form of patriotism.

1)Is buhari not a tested hand already?... and history shows that he failed woefully as a leader...facts are sacred...

2)Saying critique of leaders isn't a patriotic act shows how old and myopic you're... thanks
