Who says GEJ has not achieved much as a president? Privatisation of NEPA to PHCN has rahter worsen the electricity situation in the country. Nigeria imigration job emloyment ended in sham an no one has been employed after then. What is the exchange rate of Dollar to naira today? They are spending the country fund on publicity like TAN and the likes to buy our minds. They also plan to share stoves in dis modern era to make us re-elect them. Nigerai has never has it this bad/worse.

Thanks Bro.

I am so excited about the strategy.

He knew Atiku was very powerful. Infact Atiku impeached Evan Enwerem his Senate President and installed Okadigbo. He had the judiciary, he had the house of rep, he had 28 of the 36 Governors (Damn It) [That is why Obasanjo had problems with Ladoja, Fayose and co then.

Instead of fidgeting or [b]confronting [/b]Atiku, He pretended as if he was not aware at all, Planted a mole and finished 8 years successfully. (Even trying oliver twist)

The lesson is to be wise and know the right time to confront an adversary otherwise, you make him plan more dangerous things against you.

hmmm.

It's only in Nigeria that a president who was openly vindictive and went to war with his perceived enemies will write about Jonathan's squirmishness of his perceived enemies.

He influenced the outcome of an election and made a very sick yaradau our president and he's blaming God knows who for not making yaradau's illness public.

Sharing the story about the non-existent elder statesman about the country being run by those women more than anything painted him as a chauvinist. Little wonder his daughter hates him.

Obasanjo ruled for 8 years and he didn't have any significant achievement in all his years as president, yet he has the mouth to criticise. This is a typical case of a pot calling kettle black!

tongue

At least Obasanjo handled his enemies wella, I can't remember a time where he blamed his enemies for his failure but has for Jonathan, the man should be castrated alive

Shot up kid, without OBJ's achievements u wunt have mobile phones today to type dis rubbish!

you must be a big fool. was it obj that build MTN? or is he the CEO? was he the one that brought them to Nigeria or did they come by themselves?
Yes he gave them approval to operate here in Nigeria, but anyone who thinks that there were no strings attached (underground deal ) must be on a loong thing. He was just fortunate to be the president when MTN came, any other president would have given MTN the approval to do business... as long as they get some gain .
And if after 8years of power, all he could show is signing an approval for a telecommunication company to operate in Nigeria , then he is a BIG failure!

people say he is weak, clueless, and not fit to rule. But nobody, not even a single soul has said anything indicting concerning his policies, his economic reforms policies etc. All they do is personal attack and the northeast crisis. yes he is doing poorly in that area, but we are seeing some improvement. the northeast crisis has dragged on not because the government is incapable of dealing with the issue but because of the collateral damage which obj completely ignored when he committed genocide in odi.

Ur noise for this thread don dey too much. Was the man, Yakubu Gowon, that spent the highest number of years (9) as our leader not a minority from Angas. FYI, Jonathan's Ijaw ethnic group is the fourth largest in the country.

What has Odi issue got to do with boko haram? no one is attacking the person of GEJ but rather his policies. His actions or in-actions are a part of his policies. His inability to tackle corruption is a part of his policies, u don't tell me you are fighting corruption yet corruption strikes a worrisome tone in your govt. Gej has not received 10% of the criticism OBJ got during his reign. OBJ was criticised by North, East and West, even d dogs criticised OBJ and no one countered the criticisms. Gej misused the trust imposed on him hitherto 2011. I can't imagine GEJ boldly trying to re-contest without fixing or building a refinery as promised yet people sing his praises out of mere tribal or ethnic appendage. You talk of economic reforms! My question is for how long will these reforms translate into a meaningful standard of living for the average Nigerian? When will the price of oil in nigeria reflect the reforms?

OBJ is not suppose to say anything about corruption in this country. Kettle calling Pot black. But No. 5 and 7 make small sense shaa.

GEJ till APC fields a credible person.

Nothing much about this FTC. Well, here in Otuoke where I'm schooling, we are yet to see the book.

The kettle is actually the qualified party to call the pot black because they have been on the same fire. All information about corruption come from inside sources. You guys are confirming that GEJ is corrupt when you say a fellow corrupt leader should not out him. Think about how ridiculous that sounds.

Sincerely what right does OBJ have to criticise any president?

The same right you have. You need to start using yours because you are younger than Obj and it is your future. Only God should never be criticized.

I can't see the correlation in ur argument. A leader need not come from the majority to be accepted, ur impact and policies determine the majority of support or backlash you get. Gej is getting the mouth strokes he deserves.
