This is one word that gets bandied about so much it has turned to a cliche. Jonathan's prime weakness, in my opinion, was giving his subordinates too much leeway. He had surrounded himself with reputable allies, but the problem was that their loyalty were questionable. Ask those who peddle this thought to criticize this famed "incompetence" and they begin to stutter.

Another weakness of Jonathan was his naive attempt to appease the Northern elites. He learnt the bitter truth the hard way.

The Northern elites are like tribal wild dogs. Their cultural and religious proclivities make their aspirations inherently tribal. The feudalistic nature of their existence is against the very principle of liberalism which Jonathan was trying to introduce to them.

The North has had the most turn at power but their region is the most poverty ridden, the most diseased, the most violent, the most uneducated. It is not accidental, but rather by design.

The North eats its own, and that is why it will remain a cesspool of filth and desolation.

You want to introduce many new universities and hundreds of schools to a region that has strategically created a system to deny their population the benefit of education and keep them oppressed? Goodluck with that.

You want to introduce a system that engenders merit and responsibility, rather than gratify quota system and incompetence? Again, I say goodluck with that.

It's no wonder why most policies originated by Jonathan have been inevitably looked at by this government, even the ones they railed against.

Don't be fooled by the filths of propaganda.

The Yorubas are the key actors that worked against Gej. Had the Yoruba voted for him he would have won.

As expected the whole north can't vote for GEJ.
The south were he would have won 100% + a little north, the South west didn't delivered their votes because south west preferred Pres. Buhari because of VP slot and voted him out and he lost his 100% expectations from South.

He is never incompetent and his decision to own up was so wise and his own up is to punish the PDP elite who gang up aganist him and the large numbers of voters who voted sentimentally . He presented the leadership of Nigeria to Buhari who was PDP arch rival since 1999.
All the governor's, senators early who supported this government are not better off rather they help Pres. Buhari and Tinubu to swell their resources. Slot was learn.

Is not like Pres. Gej is pained,but he wrote his book to document his presidency for posterity.

We are enjoying Pres. Buhari tenure. Up new level.

How would somebody write a book and use virtually all the pages to blame everybody except himself. Indirectly telling us, he's a perfect being.
Same man went dancing in Kano a day after bomb blast in Nyanya. That one never featured in the same book. Same man went drunk in the day of his birthday in America, that they have to cancelled birthday organised for him. That one never showed in the same book. Many that he technically omitted just to seek sympathy of people that he was just mischievous booted out.
Instead of him to retrospect and say what really went wrong because it was the same region that voted for him in 2011 but went against him in 2015. Something must have gone wrong. Just the same way some people voted Buhari but now against him. They must have seen wrong that made them want to go against him. Jonathan should know he's not God. It's only God that is perfect. He should stop venting his imperfection on people.

TINTINABULATION:
Jonathan has always identified himself as a child of LUCK rather than hardwork. He was Assistant Senior Boy, and became the Senior Boy under LUCKY circumstances. He was Deputy Governor and became defacto Governor on the outstretch of LUCK. Also as a Vice-President, he was transmogrified to be substantive PRESIDENT under LUCKY atmosphere.

Therefore, it is illogical, puerile, apolitical, recondite immature, to expect SUCH a MAN to have perfomed. Excellence is a Spirit.


- AOO
You are correct about his lucky destiny. However, you're wrong when you said he did not perform. Jonathan performed. His problem was that he condoned excesses a lot due to his quiet nature. He established 12 federal universities, introduced TSA, IPPIS, BVN, YouWin, revitalised our railways, established secondary schools in the North for Almajiris to get decent education and did so many other laudable projects. I know many entrepreneurs whose businesses thrived cos of YouWin. He gave grants to those businessmen to set up small and medium-scale businesses, not loans, and it was transparent. He meant well.

Again, the North was bent on wresting power from him. They did a lot of bad things to discredit his government, especially Buhari and el-Rufai.

Tell me what Buhari has been able to do?

Jonathan is a man of peace; he does not retaliate any wrong done to him; he's as gentle as a dove. I regret while i supported Buhari against Jonathan. I now see better.

do you know more than him ? Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian ultra-nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society, are we not seeing all those in Nigeria today.

There is nothing fascistic by definition about this government. Even during the military era we didn't have fascism then not to talk of now. Nigeria is too diverse a country to ever come under fascism. It requires a willing subjugation of the citizenry to one common identity defined by the ruling authorities. It's impossible in Nigeria for that to happen. You can claim Buhari is dictatorial and you may have a point, but fascism has a very precise definition.
Fascism made Germany a Nazi country under Hitler. It made Italy a nationalist country under Mussolini. But Nigeria is still Nigeria under Buhari we have not assumed one singular national identity.

I think you guys a d missing thing and mixing up performance. Of what use is building 14 federal universities when the existing ones cannot measure and compete favourably with universities in the same African nations. What I wish to hear is that he improved on the over 50 federal universities in the nation by equipping their laboratories, libraries, teaching hospitals and giving lecturers enabling environment to scale up. Establishing universities for political reasons don't count but building enduring and competitive universities. We know the number of teaching hospitals Obasanjo built for some universities in all political zones that improved the medicine aspect of teaching today. Today, many federal universities cannot boast of good library and laboratory because of obsolete equipment and apparatuses. These are areas he suppose invest in than building another universities. Same thing applies to the Almajeri's schools built. What impact did he made on unity schools? We know what Obasanjo did for these unity schools by reorganising them. It was during same Jonathan unity schools went on strike. Same for the polytechnic, their own strike was over a year.
Of what use is introducing something but don't have political will to implement it. Point of note, the telecommunication we are beneficiary today was introduced by Abacha but fully implemented by Obasanjo and he took the glory.
His YOUWIN social investment was never enduring but died with his government.

How can you say Nigeria is still Nigeria under PMB, have you forgotten the infamous 97% and 5% , it all starts gradually.

PMB goofed with the 97% vs 5% comment. In a democracy, a president must be the president of all the people whether they voted for him or not. But that comment is not a sign of fascism. He criticized the SE for not voting for him and the people of the SE criticized him back. There is freedom of opinion, freedom of association and freedom of speech for both sides. Under fascism nobody dares criticize the leader in any way and live to talk about it. The fact that you and I can even openly debate this issue online is enough evidence that there is nothing like fascism here.
P.S. We are getting ready to hold multi party elections next year and you're talking about fascism. In fascist countries there is only one party. Whether they like it or not the citizens must follow that one party only.

If someone can answer me. Why is this former incompetent president crying now.? Is it now he realized that he is no longer the president? Is it now that he realized that he had every power to turn the Jega election around.?
My dear dumb former president ,it is too late to cry when the head is cut.
You were blind folded when you were there now your eyes are opened.
You were so carried away that then you didn't even know the difference between corruption and stealing..Because you boldly said then that stealing public funds is not corruption.. This why most of your ministers and your officers were busy looting the treasury at will because stealing was not corruption. Jonanthan is a shameless former president. The worst president Nigeria has ever had.
Re: Jonathan Was Incompetent But I Supported Him – Balarabe by somehow: 9:56pm On Nov 25, 2018
Does this even make sense to you? how much was fuel before Jonathan jerked it up to 87? infact how much was other stuffs on your list before he jerked them up? Show us prices of these items before he took over. at least that's how sane people compare and contrast things.

Lastly, hope you know he brought your country into recession before leaving? i guess you wouldn't know this because you do not understand zilch about economics.

The recession he put you into made prices of things shoot up!

Lastly, your assumption that price will shoot up again further exposes your lack of knowledge, you want Buhari out so that what he used 4 years to work on would be credited to the next person that comes in. kolework!
