NOTRIBE:
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.


At bolded, you are just sounding like a man under the influence of alcohol. Where did I tell you that I was forced to accept admission? You said you can't blame GEJ because he was forced to accept Presidency and I told you that Presidency is like a provisional admission letter to higher institution which gives such person the right to either accept or reject. I have two offers when I was seeking admission, but I take one: did the chosen institution force me to do so? It is my choice to chose such institution: no institution forced me. That is why they called it provisional admission letter.


Back to the point, if GEH choose to reject the offer when OBJ presented it, will OBJ kill him? An the adage says - "you can force a horse to the river, but it is impossible for you to force such horse to drink water". GEJ should take responsibility as regards what happened under his watch.

This was my stand and I wonder where you got the fictitious trash you were mentioning.

Oga Jona isn't a baby the last time i checked. The revelation even makes him look more ridiculous and weak if has always been pushed around as reported.

You absolutely do not set yourself for failure and his ambition should have stopped him from accepting the offer

How come he then decided to put himself forward for yet another election even though he was reported to have agreed to serving a single term?

He is no different from other politicians holding this great country of ours down

OK I see. if food is forced down one's throat, he shallows cus he has no choice. This was in 2011, what then happened in 2015? If the clueless one wasn't interested in the no 1 job, why did he contest for 2nd term, or was that mama piss who was actually in the race?! Omo, see me see gobe, mama piss wanted to be Nigerian presido!

I believe Donald Duke. The pair of Umaru and GEJ were not so popular nationaly during the 2007 elections compared to other notable presidential hopefuls. I remember vividly how all political pamutations collapsed when OBJ out of the blues presented the duo of Umaru/GEJ as presidential contenders, against widely popular candidates like Donald Duke, Odili and others in 2007.
Indeed OBJ is a very cunning man. In other to retain power indirectly, he choose two men that never interested in national leadership. The plan was to make them dependent on him for advice as they lead, thereby ruling Nigeria indirectly. No wonder Obasanjo was so pist off when GEJ decided that it was time for him to stand his ground as President and ignore him. Honestly OBJ has serious mental leadership problems.
Nevertheless, GEJ will remain my Hero because he came, serve and did his best against all odds.

Yar'Adua never prepared for the task of handling Nigeria (but in your opinion, he did well) and Jonathan didn't prepare either to assist Yar'Adua not to talk of taking over after the former died in office.
What is this Duke saying?

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.”

I find it absurd when people ignorantly hype Duke as the best Governor. Incidentally, I am not just from the same state with Duke,but I was very close to his administration. Duke is the biggest con-man in Africa, he was the most deadly governor with the most dangerous killer squad led by a school mate of mine that later turned himself into a blood-thirsty professional assassin.
Duke ensured that key opposition figures where all murdered including his own estranged deputy(John Okpa) and a well respected reverend father in calabar. All Duke's projects were either white elephant or designed to profit him directly. He borrowed money to fund Tinapa and ended up owning 50% of Tinapa. He sold all Cross River assets to himself(we had to go to court to recover some of the assets). Duke left cross river with a debt burden of over a 100billiin as at 2007. He was a serial and professional 419 artist in surulere before manipulating his way into office as Governor. Obj declined making him VP because of his criminal past, certificates forgery and theft of LG funds as well as other related negative security reports on him. I'm not a fan of GEJ, but GEJ is a saint compared to Duke. He is infinitely crafty, cheeky, criminal-minded and deceitful. He is against GEJ and Yar'Adua because he didn't get the ministerial position he was angling for throughout these men's administration. Believe Donald Etim Duke, and you will believe anything.

This is soooooo true...beneath the handsome exterior laid a very criminal and deadly minded personality...the blood of the first ever Efik priest, Rev Fr Michael Offiong, who was murdered for innocently translating a Latin certificate, will continue to cast a spell of darkness on d masterminder of that act...and yes civil servants suffered immensely during his reign.
