Exactly. As terrible as it is, sometimes I even prefer he do

something - I just feel like throwing up.

Imagine telling us the Police Hqt bombing is not that bad - WHY? - "Because bombing is taking place all over the world" - GEJ

foward1212:

dont regreat one bit, my vote for GEJ, I really dont, the misshaps are not his fault, they are all because of opossion, that have refused to accept defi[/b]t, they are all because of the fact that some people have refused to accept change, they are because some poeple want this country to continue the way it has always been.

For the first time we have a leader who is different, who is not one of the recycled leaders, we have always had, and not replaced by their sons, or friends or relatives, but someone from nowhere, someone from a humble background.

He is just one man, and this change has to come [b]gragually, in other not to cause a big caeous [/b]or disaster, even Jesus himself, did not finish his ministry on earth in one month, or one year, , he took his time, he had to [b]develop[/b]e, and [b]their was impact all the way in the cause of his development, so lets give our president some credit and some level of confidence. For the first we have a close to pefect election, and a lot of other good things he has done and is doing, the fuel, kerosine, cement, etc are some of the good things associated with his govenment and leadership.

The ministria[/b]l appointment, is not totally his decision alone, there is always [b]imputs from states, and from other souces, but its his [b]responsible [/b]to checkmate them, supervise them, and sack anyone who is not doing well.

ITs our responsibliity to pray for our leader, and give him all the support necessary.  

Da Doctor:

it matters not, as long as you got him

bk.babe97y:

Wow. And I used to think Seun was intellingent.

Concept:

I do not see anything GOOD in Goodluck, he is nervous, no confidence such character cannot lead a state like Nigeria of people with smart ideas who mostly channel them to crook ways. Everything he has done before the election is graft in cash and kind, even if a madman comes to pledge his loyalty, he will surely go with "egunje" Nigeria has been customized with corrupt practises and the mentality has been passed to the unborn, you are infected so am I. Most Nigerians do not know how to live a normal life without cutting corners; something must surely come besides salary, let me tell you, the root of all our problem in Nigeria is corruption. Corruption encourages laziness, lackadaisical attitude to work because the mind is set to have a reward at the end of a duty, legal or illegal.

There is no way things can work like this. If we can wrestle the society from the grip of this syndrome called corruption. PHCN will work, Refineries will work smoothly and importation of petroleum products will cease, credible candidates will emerge after elections, unemployment will reduce, those companies closing down will flourish; they die because their board members are corrupt and so on,

How do we achieve this? We need a BETTER THIEF because a day healing is not enough for a madman, there will still be exhibition of some traits sometimes. Mr. Fashola and Buhari/Bakare are good examples. They have administrative skills and discipline respectively. GEJ and his wife;Dame have sometimes been linked to EFCC harrassement, the reason they still walk around tall is the goodluck syndrome, we all know the story. The society is being characterised with corruption as a normal way of life and it is this society that produces the expected leader however starting like this will help us until we get to people that can lead and have zero tolerance for corruption.

Mr. Goodluck does not have these qualities and the antidote to the corruption's venom, he does not have(clueless). If BB were voted in, I am sure by now many of our flamboyant politicians including GEJ would have sought for asylum in another country, that is when you can see how the real EFCC can bite. I see him as the first Nigeria president ever that is not pragmatic, he always sees it the way he sees others seeing it. Mr. President should act like a man with authority.

Nevertheless, Nigerians have decided to put themselves in SELF SLAVERY for another 4 years. Logically, I do not see why the GEJ of a man is voted in; a man who depleted the inherited foreign reserves his predecessor has built over the years within the few months the baton of presidency was passed to him. I heard a gallon of kerosene now sells for N1,500. What is the hope of a common man. Where is our value. I want Nigeria to boil, some of these leaders have to go. Corruption has to be tamed now, I say now or else Nigeria is doomed. Please leave me with my opinion in case it does not align with yours, another 4 years is ahead of us, after that I can take your insults. My prophesy is live on transmission please do not dial/tune the channel, more are to coming your way. GEJ lovers U never see anything. Under the supervision of these man, they will milk Nigeria dry.

@Seun
- He has not closed down any newspaper or TV station or ordered a journalist to be beaten for criticizing him.
- He signed the FOI bill.
- He finally got US approval which means corruption-wise he's improved a little bit.
- He didn't block Bankole's arrest.
- His power sector plan is relatively realistic in its recognition of the need for private sector involvement.

What happened? I thought there is a wet transformer kept for those who are not happy under Jonathan rule? Shouldn't they be hugging the transformer?

What arrant nonsense from people who have never been in democratic leadership settings.

samtoye:

@ Seun (Nairaland),

I remember you were one of the "Fresh Air" advocates, its a pity you would rather cover up now than admit Jonathan's glaring and usual "fecklessness", even your current stance still doesnt show objectivity which is part of your contribution to Nigeria's problems.

Nairaland has the potentials of Facebook but the only set back is the Nigerian factor!!!!! a simple example is you run your operation on 24 hrs standby generator which would definitelty errode the revenue you could have used for expansion, the PHCN albatross!!! If Mark Zukerberg was a Nigerian he would have ended up an ordinary cyber cafe owner or a yahoo boy!!!!!. Lets all add 4 years to our age now and tell me whether Nigerians can afford to do trial by error every 4 years!!!!! BBC says average life in Nigeria is 45 - 55, even if you live to bibilical 70 and beyond; 4 years is a substantial part of your life. For christ sake lets leave this our politcal hypocrisy and fight for the future of our unborn children!!!!! Goodluck to me, Goodluck to you, Goodluck to everybody, Goodluck Nigeriaaaaa ehhhhh!!!!

For all the idiots asking this question, the man is not a magician. It took Obama four good years to bring back America from its economic and health care turbulence, and he didn't have uneducated Almajaris bombing different parts of the country at intervals.
So please shut your mouths and go eat a brownie, or hot suya!

cold:

For those preaching patience;I say hush it already!It would be a grave mistake if Jonathan listened to, or worse joined, those who preach patience. No, Nigerian leaders don’t exhibit any patience before they embark on looting – they often start their very first day in office. Why must the long-suffering citizens endure endless exhortations to remain patient, fast and pray, trusting that God, not their leaders, will one day descend from the sky to build their roads, furnish their schools with labs and libraries, create jobs for milling graduates, empower our power authority, conduct credible elections free of manipulation, provide potable water, prosecute corrupt officials, dispose of the hills of trash that perversely decorate Nigerian cities – and do much more.
