Any further attempt to analyse the level of damage, destruction, insecurity, and corruption prevailing in this country today is to resume another round of whipping on the proverbial dead horse.

The spate of Boko Haram bombings, budgeting of billions of Naira for the construction of infrastructure of vanity for the presidency, and the recent pardoning of convicted criminals in the same circles as the president would have cleared any doubts about the intentions of the Executive arm of this government.

The action to take now, is not the writing of lengthy lamentations, or tweeting of rants on Twitter, or even hitting the streets to protest a la "Ocuppy Nigeria", but to abide by the lawful, orderly, and Constitutional means of dealing with such matters: We must impeach the president. We are left with no alternative.

It is only citizens who have not read the Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria that are not aware of their lawful right to serve their Senators orders, including those requesting for the impeachment of the President.

In a case whereby Senators heed not to such a request by the electorate of their Senatorial District, Section 69 of the Constitution enables them to be removed and replaced with those more keen to do as told.

If you want change, it begins with writing out, printing, or filling the relevant information ( Your address, Date, Senatorial District address of the Senator representing the District where you registered as a voter, Senator's name, Your name, and the VIN on your Voters' Card). Submit to the Senatorial District Office, and start meeting, and lobbying within whatever interest group, union, or association you belong to to get as many as two thirds of registered voters in Nigeria involved too.

You may also edit as you deem fit, print, and share to fellow citizens who may not have access to the internet. Thank you.

Request For The Impeachment Of The President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria

Accept this instant notice as a request for initiating impeachment proceedings, pursuant to Section 143 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, against Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the sitting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The president has engaged in various activities which amount to gross misconduct including, but not limited to:
1. Wanton and wasteful expenditure of state resources.
2. Inaction in the face of widespread loss of lives and properties he swore to protect.
3. Disregard for due process in declaring his personal assets.
4. Abuse of office in the appointment of his friends and political sponsors as head of agencies.
5. Use of state instruments to pardon his criminal friends previous convicted.
6. Dictatorial impositions on Nigerian citizens without due process in the instances of removing fuel subsidy, and renaming Federal parastatals.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has also shown absolute incompetence in handling issues of national importance at the helm of affairs of this nation, with grave consequences. The conduct of President Jonathan is a violation of his Oath of Office, and his duties and obligations.

Endeavour to commence the process of impeachment immediately, as there will be no hesitation to invoke Section 69 of 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on failure to perform this most exigent duty.

I agree with you OP, but more must be done if you wish to save the country. Corruption is rampant, infrastructure is paltry, the standard of living is abhorrent and the population is too high. I don't trust Nigerians(and most Africans) when it comes to voting. The west should step in and rule for a while.

Good luck, Mr. Jonathan. It's time you were impeached. Writing by Joel Brinkley

Just outside President Goodluck Jonathan's office sat 17 ambulances, just in case he or one of his aides fell ill. They were seldom if ever used.

No actual health-care facility nationwide had as many, and in fact a few still have none at all. But as soon as a Nigerian newspaper took a photo of the ambulances and published a story about them, they suddenly disappeared -- probably to an underground garage.



Jonathan is president of Nigeria, which should be among the world's most prosperous nations. After all, it produces an estimated 2.4 million barrels of oil each and every day. With oil now selling at $93.61 a barrel, that's $224 million in income daily. And yet many hospitals can't afford to buy an ambulance. The reason, in my view: Nigeria is the most corrupt nation on earth.

Sure, Transparency International lists almost three dozen states as more corrupt -- Chad, Haiti, Laos, Yemen, Cambodia and the like. But are any of those nations as wealthy as Nigeria -- taking in $81 billion annually, just from the sale of oil? No, not even one of them. So Nigeria steals and squanders more money than any other nation, making it the world's most corrupt, by that measure.

Nigerian journalist Musikilu Mojeed finds all this so discouraging.

"With its geopolitical power, economic resources and middle class," he laments, "no country (with the possible exception of Saudi Arabia and Egypt) has the power to change the course of black/African civilization like Nigeria." After all, Nigeria is Africa's most populous state -- and large, twice the size of California.

So Nigerians are living an opportunity squandered -- particularly now. Egypt is in turmoil. In just the last few days, in fact, many Egyptians have been calling for a military coup -- anything to rid the state of its widely despised Muslim Brotherhood government. And a new report by the World Economic Forum ranked Egypt the least safe and secure tourist destination among 140 tourist nations evaluated.

Egypt has lost its place as the Arab/African worlds' leader, and Saudi Arabia never had it. So for Nigeria, the time is ripe. But its leaders seem interested only in stealing the state's money to make themselves rich beyond imaging. Think about it: $81 billion a year just from the oil, while most every local government official still tells his people the nation just doesn't have enough money to fix the roads, schools or hospitals. (Roads are in such terrible shape that government officials generally travel any distance by helicopter.)

And Nigeria's people -- well, they are as mistreated as any on earth. In only nine nations -- among them Liberia, Sierra Leone and Somalia -- do more mothers die during childbirth. And in only 10 states, including Chad, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, is the average life expectancy lower. Right now the average Nigerian's average life span ends at 52. That may be why the median age of Nigerians is just 18.

A few months ago, the Economist Intelligence Unit published an evaluation of the best places for babies to born in 2013, given their probable welfare as children and the chance for a safe, comfortable, prosperous life. Switzerland, Australia and Norway were the top three. The United States came in at 16th, largely because "babies will inherit the large debts of the boomer generation."

Dead last: Nigeria. "It is the worst place for a baby to enter the world in 2013," the report said.

Even with all that wealth, only just over half the population has access to clean drinking water, and one-third to a toilet, UNICEF says. Two-thirds live below the poverty line. Only one child in four who contracts pneumonia is given antibiotics, and only about half the population is literate.

The CIA also cites endemic "soil degradation; rapid deforestation; urban air and water pollution." All this in a county whose gross domestic product stands at $236 billion a year, in the same league as Denmark, Chile, Israel and the United Arab Emirates -- prosperous, successful states to be envied.

Goodluck Jonathan is certainly aware of all of this. After all, taking the oath of office, he swore to "devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God."

Well, just last week he demonstrated who he really is and what he stands for when he pardoned a former state governor who'd been convicted of embezzling state funds and laundering the money. That pardon triggered a broad, angry uproar.

Good luck, Mr. Jonathan. It's time you were impeached.

That is why I call these persons HATERS. Can anyone make any sense out of the six reasons the Op want the president impeached? What is the meaning of "Wanton and wasteful expenditure of state resources". Is the govt expenditure not approved by NASS?

What is the meaning of "Inaction in the face of widespread loss of lives and properties he swore to protect". Can the activities of JTF and SSS in boko haram infested states be described as inaction? The president of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mali, Iraq, etc should also be impeached for their inability to curb islamic militancy in their country.

"Disregard for due process in declaring his personal assets". The silly Op should educate us on the due process for declaration of assets. I hope the confused Op have been reading the Nigerian constitution, not Arewa constitution?

"Abuse of office in the appointment of his friends and political sponsors as head of agencies". This point is ridiculous and senseless.

"Dictatorial impositions on Nigerian citizens without due process in the instances of removing fuel subsidy, and renaming Federal parastatals". Any sensible person can only have a good laugh over this.

Why do they want the president impeached or killed? No reason, beside the fact that they HATE GEJ. They are haters and losers

See WHY they hate GEJ in this thread
