Abagworo: Trying to hold on to power by force is his major problem. He seems so bent on holding on to power and is doing everything possible including what he is doing to Amaechi today without minding if people will die or it will cause chaos in the country. What he did to Sylva too is evidence of tyrany. A patriot goes for the wish of the masses and not his personal desires. Obasanjo could easily have put Nigeria into chaos and remained in power but as a patriot he decided to relinquish power for the peace of the nation. Jonathan as a man looks patriotic but I believe some people benefiting from his Government are making him this heartless. Some say its his wife but I doubt that.

kingoflag: When it comes to GEJ's "sins" where does one even start from? This guy started sinning the very moment he became President! First official visits as President? To go visit Youweri Musevini and Paul Biya two of the worst Dictators the world has ever seen in modern times---- This was just 2 weeks after he got elected.

1 week after returning from those visits (and after just 3 weeks of being President) the cowboy hat wearing dunce decided to perpetuate himself in power for life (like his mentors above) by urging the National Assembly to alter the Constitution to include a "Single term Tenure" rule--- THE SAME CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THOSE TWO DICTATORS HAVE USED TO KEEP THE PEOPLE OF CAMEROON AND UGANDA IN BONDAGE! Nigeria's poverty level, high jobless levels amongst the masses, epileptic power supply, lack of security etc were not GEJ's concern, what bothered him most was how to retain--for life-- that power he'd tasted for 3 weeks. That proposal to the National Assembly let me know that GEJ was selfish as hell and Nigerians were in for a bumpy ride.

Who recalls that he was stoned while in Uganda and he denied it to the press in Nigeria? I said to myself "Yup, Nigerians just got themselves a backwards monkey that still thinks [he can lie on whim] like in the past and is not in tune with the present". All these happened less than 40 days into his Presidency; he hasnt stopped giving us something to talk about at least once a week since then.

In saner countries GEJ'd have been kicked out over a year ago. See Greece? See Bulgaria? See Argentina?

Nigerians are funny characters, really.

I totally agree with you. Nigerians deserve what they currently have. Imagine someone who voted for Jonathan told me despite the fact that Jonathan has failed woefully since he became President, he still plan to vote for him in 2015 because whoever comes in next will likely perform worse.

What's Tinubu got to do with this thread now?

Talking to certain people born and raised in Nigeria's (especially if they were raised in its interiors) gotta be the most excruciating experience ever. The way they "think" and "see" things is just unbelievable.

It's like a torture when you try to give these people orientation about some things. Only God knows the way they think. I will start asking people who they voted for before I send my $ to any of them again. These people are clueless to the core.

What a deflated clown! You are drowning in lack of knowledge. I voted PDP few times when I was in Nigeria. Some of my family members also did many times. I was one of Jonathan's supporters after the demise of Yar'Adua. My brain is not clouded like yours when it comes to having independent mind when considering candidates for election. I am never blinded by partisan, ethnic or religious sentiments like you. Your Principal (Retardeen, Odechukwu, Egbere, Otueke drunkmaster) has squandered the goodwill given to him after the death of his boss. Now we have no choice not only to destroy him before the 2015 election but also put him behind bar.

gboss4sure: Am yet to see someone say something reasonable here. Empty heads and Empty minds all you do is accuse GEJ but you cant state his sin with facts.

Sincere 9gerian:
You'r just a silly fool calling his father all sorts of atrocious names. You voted PDP in past? Maybe that was when the price was right. The reality on ground NOW is that your current pay master is ACN and it is written all over your post. If you dont like the truth, you can go committ suicide. Fool!

2 The president is not fighting corruption: GEJ has been accused of not fighting corruption. Instances such as pardon of Alams and failure of the president to declare his assets are the common instances. I admit GEJ has not be RADICAL in terms of fighting corruption. GEJ has not gone all out flogging and bundling governors, ministers and former presidents/head of states into prisons. But are those expectations REALISTIC? Can those such happen in a democracy? Even if it can happen in a democracy, does GEJ have the political base to do all of those? How many governors (even the over hyped ones) have fought corruption in that manner in their states? Is there any law prohibiting governors from fighting corruption?

GEJ may not have taken RADICAL measures to curb corruption but we cannot deny the TRANSPARENCY in govt business in the last few years. We must not forget the ongoing prosecution of fuel subsidy thieves (including the son of PDP chairman), pension thieves, bank chief executives, political exposed persons, legislators enmeshed in bribery scandal, etc.

We must not forget that the job of the president ends with investigation and prosecution. It is the job of the judiciary to convict or acquit suspects as the case maybe. The new Chief Justice of the federation is trying to cleanse the judiciary of corrupt judges. We hope she succeeds as that'll help fast track prosecution of corruption cases.

In addition, we must not forget that corruption has existed since independence. In fact, corruption was one of reasons for the first military coup.

"Trying to hold on to power by force is his major problem"

My guy, without political power you cant do anything. The president is only trying to maintain enough political base to push his programmes and policies. Take the Sovereign Wealth Fund for instance, how can the president succeed in pushing it thru if while he's pushing on one direction, Amaechi of the same PDP is leading the governors to push in the other direction. Same with many other policies of the govt. How can the new fertilizer scheme succeed if governors oppose it at state level? There can only be one captain in a sheep, otherwise there'll be chaos.
