OLADD:


Redirect your kolo-mentalism to the sitting president who refused to negotiate with Boko haram at the peripheral stage of the insurgency when he was nominated as the only trusted negotiator by the sect. If he had done that (just the way Obj did) maybe we wouldn't be where we are today. After completing the bend, you can then make a detour by venting your anger on northern elders who are playing politics with the lives of their fellow countrymen. Leave Jonathan out of it. OK?
plrase tell him

People never appreciate something one did for them

Honour for what exactly, for losing an election or for being incompetent and clueless. I blame OBJ for cursing Nigeria with a GEJ. I am neither a fan of GMB, he was part of a past that ruined the country.

Does that make PMB responsible for the agatu killings, the Shiites killings and the current Boko haram killings since he took over?

If yes.. Then take it upnwith him because the killings and hardship are still ongoing.. gEJ is gone, don't wail abt what's past, it can't be changed

On Saturday the 23rd of April, in Antioch, California, President Goodluck Jonathan was honoured by the cities of Antioch and Lathrop for promoting peace and democracy in Africa.
At the award ceremony, the mayor of the city of Antioch, Mayor Wade Harper, expressed his admiration for Jonathan and declared that the city of Antioch, California was proud of his legacies, especially his act of overseeing free, fair and conclusive elections and leaving the scene when the ovation was loudest.


He recommended Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's behavior to other leaders. Former President Jonathan, who was represented by Mr. Reno Omokri, gave a goodwill message to the two cities that had gathered to honor him as well as to the Nigerian community in the Bay Area of California. Dr. Jonathan said he was "proud of Nigerians in the diaspora and more so of Nigerians in the US and even more so of the Nigerian diaspora in California."

Continuing, the former President said Nigerians in the diaspora were an asset to Nigeria who remitted over $20 billion home annually, "much more than the World Bank, IMF and foreign direct investment."

Dr. Jonathan ended by saying he was proud of diaspora Nigerians and tried to show his appreciation for their support of Nigeria by ensuring that during his time in office at least three direct flights were initiated between America and Nigeria to ease travel and reduce costs for travelers to Nigeria.

Jonathan;s Goodwill message to the Cities of Antioch and Lathrop
I send this message of goodwill to the Nigerian community in the Bay Area of California who have gathered at Open Heavens Community church to celebrate with me as I am honored by the cities of Antioch and Lathrop. I had planned to be there. Indeed I had concluded travel plans. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control I could not make the trip.

I have always been proud of Nigerians in the diaspora and more so of Nigerians in the US and even more so of the Nigerian diaspora in California. Some of you may recall that upon my ascension to the office of President on May 6th, 2010, one of my first acts was to open up a Facebook page to personally interact with Nigerians.

In June 2010, a diaspora Nigerian from the Bay Area of California informed me on my Facebook page of an abandoned building belonging to Nigeria in San Francisco and I dispatched our then ambassador to that city to claim the property and renovate it.

Hopefully, the building may again host a consulate as it once did in the 80s. The point I am trying to make is that I have been communicating with you and I see you as an asset to Nigeria that makes me proud. Elsewhere, I have mentioned that aside from oil, diaspora Nigerians are the single largest source of capital inflow into Nigeria. In my last year as President you remitted $21 billion home. Much more than the World Bank, IMF and foreign direct investment. My people, you are an asset to your fatherland.

Because of the importance with which I held you, my administration facilitated direct flights to Nigeria from the US to Nigeria. We ensured no less than three airlines fly direct between Nigeria and the US including one from Houston to Lagos for the benefit of those of you from the West Coast.

We also ensured that Enugu airport was upgraded to an international airport and I recall that a number of diaspora Nigerians from the US boarded the inaugural Ethiopian airlines flight that landed there in August of 2013. Again let me say that I appreciate the Nigerian community in the Bay Area.

I would also want like to thank Mayor Wade Harper and the council members of the city of Antioch for choosing to honor me for my efforts in promoting democracy. I am indeed humbled by their thoughtfulness in recognizing our modest efforts. I also wish to express my gratitude to the city of Lathrop and its mayor and council for also deeming it fit to recognize our efforts.

I wish I could be there in person, however, I have asked Reno Omokri to represent and I am with you in spirit. Thank you and may God bless Nigeria, may God bless California, may He bless the cities of Antioch and Lathrop and my God bless you.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria 2010-2015

This is like a local govt. black neighborhood

THESE PEOPLE SHOULD STOP EMBARRASSING GEJ BY USING HIM TO PRACTICE HOW TO GIVE AWARD.
This is an embarrassment. They should stop embarrassing Nigeria with this crappy awards.

Can they name any world leader or prominent human being that is a past winner or recipient of the so called award? .

Wike was a failure as Minister of Education and extremely corrupt,can you point out a single achivement he did when was Minister. During his tenure most Universities were on strike he laid no foundation and did nothing to further education in the country. This is the failure that for is now Governor of the states with the largest budget in the country. Do you reward failure by giving someone a higher reponsibilty,only in Nigeria the land of the mostless brainless zombies.

There's a cryptic message the international community is trying to pass across with all these . We just hope people open their eyes and senses to it.

The message is(We knew absolutely what happened and we know what is happening)

how was wike a failure as minister of education? Did they not build new universities to accomodate the large number of students who take jamb every year? What about waec, did the performance reduce as compared to the previous years? What about jamb, did the failure increase? Did they build/renovate secondary schools owned by the FG? What about the curriculum, was it watered down? Did they build schools for even our almajiri brothers? Did ubec provide funds to SPEb to fund and revonate primary schools, these will help us understand if wike failed as a minister or not.is rivers state , the state with the largest budget allocation? I thought it was Lagos? The lagos that fashola and tinubu ruled for 16 years, tell me what they achieved? Is lagos generating its own electricity? Did they provide trains? Tell where public water flows in lagos? If tinubu and fashola want to go the hospital, do they use Generral hospital or go abroad? How good are the hospitals in Lagos?
