your analogy is stupid...unless you are telling us that your parents bought your jamb form, employed an impersonator in a special centre and you scored more than people who are more qualified than you,tell me how can you become a good engineer,even if you accept the admission?.. no wonder you are still roaming the streets day dreaming and hoping one day you will b

Choi, I should have thought of that.....so some cabals asked him to carry a load as big as Nigeria he knew nothing about? They forced him all the way from Deputy Governor to President of Nigeria. Well, his acts showed that he was really confused. Thank God we now have someone who has been trying to change Nigeria for good and now have the opportunity. Sai baba.

The owners of Nigeria messed up Tinapa via the customs and the NPA. Don thought with democracy comes free thinking and the general quest for advancement but he didn't realize just how sinister the forces which control this country are and how we got to where we are, the basement of development. He virtually went on his knees to Obasanjo about the place, sorry, no dice. Nigeria truly loves her people.

my explanation is that your certificate is fake because you were forced and manipulated to accept your admission,that is why you can perform basic engineering projects, and clueless..which were chaarcteristics of GEJ...i know you will still come and deny it like GEJ.

Former governor of Cross River state Donald Duke says former President Jonathan told him and former president Obasanjo he never wanted to be the Vice president of Nigeria when he was selected to be the running mate to late President Umaru Yar'Adua for the 2007 general election. Donald Duke said this in an interview with news magazine, The Interviewer

"You don’t give authority to an unwilling person, particularly in a country like Nigeria. Umaru never wanted to be president. He was dealing with his health issues and wanted to retire and go lecture in a university. He was really offered an appointment at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. Jonathan, on the other hand, had just been re-elected to be governor of Bayelsa and when he was picked, he was not so pleased. He said to Obasanjo and me, ‘I don’t want this job".
If these two men never aspired to the office but were recruited to take on a responsibility as daunting as the management of Nigeria without mentally preparing for the office and having a grand vision of where they wanted to take Nigeria to, then there is a problem. The mental preparation is absolutely important. The vision can be scripted for you, but if you are not prepared and you have no capable team to help you follow through, it is grossly unfair. It is like converting a passenger on an aircraft to a pilot.”

That is very possible, GEJ was not prepared mentally to lead Nigeria, just that fate thrust that responsibility to him.

Yes, u are right. GEJ was too sluggish that's why he's given the name: "baba go slow"

Eeeeeeww! God save us

Why didn't he say it all this years He is a gold digger!

Am sure he is tryna find favour in the side of the President

I know baba[apc warlord] won't mind the gold digger. Even when it was announced that buhari won the election he and his wife flew from their residential mansion in Lagos and went to Abuja to congratulate him* isn't that eye service? He has bitten the hand that feed him.

Quote me not coz I won't answer you .
U called Duke a gold digger? I bet u, no member of ur family throughout existence will reach the height Duke has attained. Ebok!

Didn't I mention 2 days ago that OBJ is arguably Nigeria's biggest obstacle of progress right from rigging in Shagari, Yar'Adua, then Jonathan.

Re: Jonathan Told Me & Obasanjo He Never Wanted To Be Vice-president - Donald Duke by bsjay(m): 12:28pm On Aug 11, 2015
Mr Handsome Duke. A mentor, a brother and friend. It's with sadness I announce to u that Calabar is still dwelling on the past glory u left behind. Nothing tangible has been achieved for the state since u left.
We can't have u back as governor and so, we pray and hope we will have u someday in Aso Rock to clear all the mess and build the Nigeria of our dream as a great mason and builder u really are.

doublewisdom:
Then he(GEJ) came tried his best and bowed out honourably. Haters can only hate and try to down play his efforts towards a better Nigeria but his name is already written on marble.

Honourably you mean?

If that is your definition of the word then oxford dictionary needs to be revised.

Why did he go to such an extend to be revoted?
If really he is an honourable man.
He wan end to stay forever on a job he never wanted in the first place.
The man is my definition of hypocrisy if you ask me.
He is nothing but a dunce and a slowpoke

If someone offers you a job, you are either not going to accept or accept
if you accept without wanting the job you are an slowpoke.
and that imbecility has cost Nigeria several billions of Dollar and a 6 year wasted opportunity.
GEJ must be jailed!

but couldnt create jobs for us. Carnival is wat i'll remember him for plus d huge debt he left trying to build tinapa.
.Blesoh,I quite understand with you.Don tried his best. I don't really like the carnival sha but he made Cross River state to be known in the world map through his numerous tourism revolution. For the Tinapa,the blame should go to the FG because they didn't follow through their own part of the agreement. That project was suppose to be FG/Cross River/private sector executed,but FG reneged on theirs and allow the state to carry the brunt.If it was well executed as planned the state would have been reaping its benefits now.And I think politics was involved too.Look at obudu mountain race,it was all his brain child.
