Am not really saying that I should have voted for BB OR Ribadu but should have relaxed at home than voting for a president that have no guts. Now this is the reason for my comments b4 any critics. Since Goodluck was emerged as the acting president, there has been break down of law in the northern parts of Nigeria ranging from bomb blasts, killings by boko haram and co, killings in Jos and so much more. In those days i thought he will make things right when he is finally elected by the people. But now is the worst. With deep sense of sorrow am writing this and tear are almost dripping my eyes that every now and then the christians and non housas will be massacad in their numbers and nothing is being done about it. If you go to kaduna and it environs now you will see dead bodies everywhere. According to CAN they are yet to figure out how many they are in number but injured ones are in their thousands. What a world!!!. The next thing GEJ Did was to sack the interior minister. When OBJ was the president was it the interior minister that sent military men to river state when things seems to get out of hands and ordered them to shoot at site those involved in the unrest, was it the interior minister that sent the military to Udi and ordered them to shoot at sight those involved. And other places like Bayesa, onisha in the case of massob. And other places. Mr president is so weak. Been afraid of what the northern godfathers will say if he takes any decisive action. I only pray that God shall one day revenge.

Na today!!!. We still have 4 years to go. May God help us all in Nigeria

@OP

Ok subtract your 1 vote from the votes GEJ got and tell us if that gives BB the victory. People like you explain why as a nation we dont move forward. making noise without details. abeg shut iup make we hear word, all these disguised BB fans.

Please don't bore us with your complaint!

You and 22million other Nigerians decided it is Goodluck you want, so please enjoy it.

Goodluck to Nigerians!

Go and collect your vote from Jega.

Even if you subtract your one vote from 22m Nigerian votes, you are still unknown.

Was Goodluck the President in 1991 when I watched as a young sch gurl my classmate's house go up in flames with the entire family in the burning house and my mom and I had to walk/run on dead bodies to be secure.
Was GEJ president in 1995 when my father's cars, house and my eldest sister all got burnt in another crazy out break of riots.My daddy stil has scars frm matchete wounds he got in one of such outbursts
In 1983, my family stil tel the sordid story of maitatsine's violence!
Relax buddie, you voted right. Sacking that minister was in the rite direction. Every average Nigerian knew the northernerz would revolt,it was the duty of that office to nip it in the bud. I believe strongly that the positive change we so desire would be heralded by GEJ

Spot on. They make it look like violence is the second name of GEJ and that he is synonymous with violence. Who doesnt know that there are jobless almajiris in the North who will harp on any minor thing to riot and loot? Did you see the faces of those who went on rampage? Youths who are mostly underaged, jobless and hoodlums. Why are you blaming GEJ on that?

You blammed him for five months before the elections, yet he succeeded, you are not tired, you still continue to use every opportunity to blame him.

mtcheeewww

Please reread my post I never said I will vote for BB. And please its just a honest view of mine. I don't welcome personal critics.

Sorry to hear that Odunnu

Wish I could hug you right now. I do mean it Odunnu.

What a sweeet babe!

It's too early to regret. Wait until the names of corrupt people, ex-convicts and co are announced as ministers.

Lol  - u never see anything yet  -


A man with zero track record in the area of service delivery and Implementation

I maintain status " PDP has nothing to offer Nigerians and it is insanity to expect good to come out of evil"

but unfortunately it is win win for GEJ and his corrupt cronies

Guys, I was one of Goodlucks fiercest critics, but on this one, we need to give him time to bed down and start working. My only compliant is that they should have anticipated the potential for serious violence and made necessary preparation. That has been trait of his governement, and he must deal with it swiftly and properly. Though acting by dismissing the internal minister is a step in the right direction, in my opinion is not enough.

He needs to start building strong institutions, but most desperately he must start with security. Nigerians must be made to feel safe and secure under his administration. I remember being in contact with a friend, who's family what caught up in the Kano troubles, it was not easy.

@Odunnu, sorry to hear about your family's experience.

Like I maintain, it is not ones interest if Goodluck fails, but I have this feeling he wont.

I would urge people to start focusing on the most important election of all - state. This affects everyone, and I believe this is were accountability can be enforced. Let us start by holding our respective state governors to account. Dont forget they are responsible for security in thier individual states

Yesterday we campaigned, today you voted! Hahaha < Just joking>

LuckBoy,

Are you saying that the North was very peaceful before Jonathan became the President of this Great Country?

You had over six months to decides whom to vote for.
It is too early to judge this man. Lets all give him a chance to prove himself.

At least buharis people such as; IBB, Atiku, ciroma, gusau, aliero, ishaya bamaiyi, abba ruma, turai, el-rufai, abacha, buba marwa and all their surrogates will not be there. GEJ will appoint intellectuals & technocrats!

Peeps would have read a defrent meaning to that. They would have said he knew he was going to win the election before inec published the results, thus the anticipation of violent.

Well, it would have been better to secure life and property than to have people reading all sorts of meanings to things. The fact remains that there was opportunity for government to be proactive but they didnt act.
Please tell those familes that have lost loved ones in ths madness that

Please monkeyleg don't get me wrong, I am with you on this, the government should always be proactive.

@Arosa,

Sorry my bro, I misunderstood your post.

i want to give goodluck a chance, though i wasnt for him. I know it cannot be easy, but he need to step up to the plate and start acting. There are good resources out there to assist him, if he so desires. i believe this is the time he must surround himself with the best adviser he can afford.

The security sector in Nigeria is just like any other sector - crumbling, from lack of investment and proper management. i wonder why people are expecting good results from a failed system. this is the time to invest greatly and ge those onboard who know how run large successful security forces

The only things we are perfect at are complaining and bickering.

Indeed, Violence in Northern Nigeria started 1 year ago .  .  .Yeye de smell.

@OP,go collect back ya vote na.
