The Big Question: Is Jonathan The Only Former President Of Nigeria? by InglishTeechar(m): 4:44pm On Aug 07, 2015
I write this post without any party affiliation but it seems some Nigerians just lack short memory or they chose to ignore the administration of past leaders, as a Nigerian ask yourself this very honest question. Is the former president of Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan the beginning of Nigeria's problems? Is he the cause of Nigeria's problem? So why so much fuss about him alone why not other leaders, we must be very careful in our criticism so as not to invite God's anger.

If the criticism is objective then it is okay but when it is biased and tainted with lies then it has become something else.In the case GEJ, the president has attributed every evil that has befallen nigeria from economy to those wives left them to him.is it to cover for their inability to meet the high expectations of nigerians or is Jonathan really the worse president nigeria ever had? Time will tell.
Re: The Big Question: Is Jonathan The Only Former President Of Nigeria? by socialmediaman: 4:58pm On Aug 07, 2015
OP you seem not to understand peoples' anger with Jonathan

Previous corrupt presidents are regarded as failed leaders who contributed to Nigeria's problems, and GEJ was no exception.

But in GEJ's case, even in the clarity of his failed leadership, people were hired to portray him as an excellent leader, that's very irresponsible and it's like a slap on the faces of Nigerians.

GEJ's praise singers need to understand that he did nothing more patriotic than the previous leaders who plunged this nation into problems, he added to Nigeria's numerous problems. They just have to stop praising him in order not to continue inviting the wrath of Nigerians.

Thank you

GEJ's problem is that he wants to take the glory of a successful president while being a Failed president like his predecessors, it doesn't work that way. He remains in the same list where we kept OBJ, IBB, ABacha etc. Simple!

may God bless u 4 dis wonderful narration. Even de past leaders were terrify about the condition of dis country under gej then, that man bring total hardship 2 Nigerians, education were shut down completely because of bad governance. We buy fuel now @ de rate of 120 during d@ man time, of which it never happened in de time of past leaders, for over sixteen yrs of pdp rule things have not gone worst dey way it was during gej time. Much blood shaded and alot of things go very bad. Let i forget Buhari takeover from gej so he has de right to ask about some looted fund. Buhari did not takeover from obj or ibb, so we shld be sincere all times.

Nobody stopped GEJ from probing his predecessors, but because of his tolerance for corruption he didn't see the need , he simply delved into office and it was business as usual .

Highest level of impunity and corruption witnessed in any democratic government since 1999

High level of unemployment, corruption, delapidated infrastructure, continued rot in the health and education system despite increased budget, high poverty, embarrassingly high insecurity and insurgency rate etc etc etc

All these happening despite the biggest oil boom in Nigeria's history.

I know you'll refer me back to previous governments when all the problems started, thank You. Like those previous governments, he did very little to improve on what he met on ground. so like them, he also failed, woefully. The major glaring difference being that he left the country more insecure, more broke, more divided than the rest failed leaders

David used God given Power to kill a Lion and to defeat Goliath. With Prayers, Gej should gather up PDP in the 6 zones and motivate them somehow to come together confidently, courageously and commitingly to formulate democratic strategies that will bring them in come 2019.

GEJ enshrined corruption into every facet of the Nigerian nation that were free of this.
He told us that stealing was very different from corruption, I'm still trying to get his motive for this.
He gave Pple the liberty to loot the treasury. Even EFCC could not be effective under him.
I thank God he lost, I thank God Anenih is gone for good. Nigeria can now begin to breathe

Most Nigerians are irreversibly bankrupted in the memory department. Nigeria is not called zoo for nothing.

GEJ has been made scapegoat for all Nigeria problems simply because he was defeated by opposition party.Don't expect Apc to be nice to him.He should have known better.

I can vividly remember when Abacha family were singled out by Abdulsalami and Obasanjo between 1998 and 2001. Then the entire country focused on the Abacha regime. Jonathan refused to probe Yar'Adua for his own reasons.

Thank you jare, you took the word out of my mouth !!!!

why didn't he probe those before him? to him stealing was not corruption. Now that stealing is corruption, PMB wants to probe the fresh facts before him.

some people are so supportive of nonsense ,in the name of brother, that is why we are here today

It's mostly a tribal supremacy thing. They have to condemn your Goodluck so they can praise their Buhari, even when their Buhari is yet to accomplish ANYTHING and is still in the honeymoon period according to Tinubu.

Even when Buhari has said he doesn't know anything about the recent improvement in power supply nor the repairs of the refineries, his tribal warriors insist they're all his doing just so no credit will go to the man they hate so much
