The level of malice towards GEJ is unparalleled in Nigeria from the SW. Everything from yoruba newspapers to bloggers to politicians and speakers are vehemently against GEJ, why? You can say 'incompetence' but Yar' Adua didn't get this level of venom from that region and he spent his entire presidency in a hospital bed. The North it's self isn't this vocally anti-GEJ. Anything GEJ says they're willing to accept the opposite without question, even amnesty for Boko Haram which Boko Haram specifically said they don't want. 2 Likes |

We hate what he represents He is a right wing neo-liberal robot being controlled from afar. He is also incompetent and corrupt to boot. the yorubas instinctively hate the unilateral and undemocratic power of the presidency . We hate the institution as it is presently constituted. Regardless of whom is or where the president comes from. In the right hands, those powers can be used for a lot if good. But our system is structured in such a way that those powers will always be in the wrong hands. The president's wife is also a huge turn off like all the other First Ladies since maryam babangida. In fact, she is the most nauseating followed by turai and Stella. 9 Likes |

Jonathan overwhelmingly won in 5 of the 6 SW states in the last presidential election, so your argument that Yorubas hate him is flawed. Rather, most of those who repose their faith in him either because of his high scholastic attainment(doctorate degree holder), someone from an humble "shoeless" background, the religious ones who adored him for kneeling down publicly in humility before revered men of God, the "na our oyel" and minority factor and/or because of the treatment he received in the hands of Turai-led cabal, have come to the realization that he is a mediocre at best and a wolf in sheep's clothing. They voted him based on sentiments and not because of the tantalizing, teasing and mocking sounds of promise and hope he gave. Some have come to the realization that in governance, past performance is practically a guarantee for future results. What was his achievement as the governor of Bayelsa? Nothing! I wish him all the best though! 6 Likes |

We don't hate Jonathan. We disagree with his policies. As a matter of fact, my entire family voted for Jonathan. Don't forget it was Yorubas who fought against the fight that was waged on Jonathan when Yar'Adua's cabal were preventing him from becoming interim President when his boss was abroad receiving treatment. Yorubas like Tinubu, Bakare, Shoyinka, Obasanjo, Gani Fawehinmi Jnr. and many more. It was Yorubas who organized public protest in Lagos and Abuja in support of him. The only notable faces who were in support from other region were Akunyili and Nnamani. On the record, the noise makers of today from SS were no where to be found during this saga. Jonathan has squandered the goodwill given to him by many people in 2010. Jonathan now sees the same people who fought for him and also voted for him as his enemies. Jonathan is an ungreatful human being. A deceiful man indeed. We don't hate Jonathan. We only disagree with his policies. 16 Likes |

Ikengawo: You have no clue They are not . In fact , most times they come together. The main points of neo-liberalism include: THE RULE OF THE MARKET. Liberating "free" enterprise or private enterprise from any bonds imposed by the government (the state) no matter how much social damage this causes. Greater openness to international trade and investment, as in NAFTA. Reduce wages by de-unionizing workers and eliminating workers' rights that had been won over many years of struggle. No more price controls. All in all, total freedom of movement for capital, goods and services. To convince us this is good for us, they say "an unregulated market is the best way to increase economic growth, which will ultimately benefit everyone." It's like Reagan's "supply-side" and "trickle-down" economics -- but somehow the wealth didn't trickle down very much. CUTTING PUBLIC EXPENDITURE FOR SOCIAL SERVICES like education and health care. REDUCING THE SAFETY-NET FOR THE POOR, and even maintenance of roads, bridges, water supply -- again in the name of reducing government's role. Of course, they don't oppose government subsidies and tax benefits for business.( fuel subsidy removal) DEREGULATION. Reduce government regulation of everything that could diminsh profits, including protecting the environmentand safety on the job( NO FUNCTIONAL GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS) PRIVATIZATION. Sell state-owned enterprises, goods and services to private investors. This includes banks, key industries, railroads, toll highways, electricity, schools, hospitals and even fresh water. Although usually done in the name of greater efficiency, which is often needed, privatization has mainly had the effect of concentrating wealth even more in a few hands and making the public pay even more for its needs.(needs no explanation) ELIMINATING THE CONCEPT OF "THE PUBLIC GOOD" or "COMMUNITY" and replacing it with "individual responsibility." Pressuring the poorest people in a society to find solutions to their lack of health care, education and social security all by themselves -- then blaming them, if they fail, as "lazy."(Everyman for himself) Rightwing describes an outlook or specific position that accepts or supports social hierarchy or social inequality.[1][2][3][4] Social hierarchy and social inequality is viewed by those affiliated with the Right as either inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[2] whether it arises through traditional social differences[5] or from competition in market economies.[6][7] It typically accepts or justifies this position on the basis of natural law or tradition.[4 2 Likes |

OP, I am partly Yoruba and love GEJ. I also have a good number of Yoruba friends and neighbours who feel the poor man is trying and cannot satisfy everybody. A couple others agree or disagree with him and give you reasons but really others feel the tribe is not well represented at the center and will criticise with all their venom whether good or bad. But who do we blame with this whole issue of inadequate representation at the center? We have five key posts in the hierarchy of the FG. The zone was fortunate to have been allocated Speaker of House of Rep's even almost after it recently produced The President. Our own ACN rejected our own daughter Mulikat with so much media propaganda to discredit her and teamed up with Tambuwal instead so that they alone will remain to be worshipped by everybody. 5 Likes |

Ikengawo: The level of malice towards GEJ is unparalleled in Nigeria from the SW. Imagine a people used to being subsidized into lazy life styles, someone comes along and tries to end it....the result is endless insults.. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand this type of behavior, it's expected... What baffles me endlessly is that the insults come from a part of the country that claim to be the most educated and hence should be in the fore front of taking this country out of his lazy attitude, driving industrialization through creativity and hardwork, instead their time, efforts and attention right now is how to revert to a situation where sharing of oil money is further entrenched, even if it means supporting book haram.. 3 Likes |

~Bluetooth: Na today, The Opposition Alliance for Democracy (AD) led a physical combat in the hallowed chamber of NASS when it became obvious that N'Abba was keeping good on his promise to impeach OBJ in agreement with the senate. The S/West fraternity is so strong that they always act in their favour whether good or bad ( always own up this your ideology and stop deceiving the gullible and feeble minded). If they say this regime is less favourable to S/West that I can understand (having enjoyed the spoils of war with the North from 1970 - 2010) but demonizing every move of GEJ government is outrageous and barbaric to say the lest. I know of a certain that policies like removing indigenous right for right of residence will never be supported by the West whilst the North will resist removal of Quota System for merit with their blood. This is today's Nigeria for you. 2 Likes |

They appreciate that though we‘re not where we‘re supposed to be yet the ‘little‘ that has been achieved they commend. Nairaland is not a true reflection of the Yoruba‘s on Jonathan. |

We hate him because we massively went against another Yoruba man's third term ambition because we knew it was wrong, and in the process we made a way for him and today he calls us his enemies. The same OBJ who did everything in his power despite at the detriment of incurring the wrath of his party loyalist, is been branded an enemy of the Ibos and SS right now. Also, the 1st person who fought and bled for GEJ during the cabal saga broke out when other tribes were quiet and scared is, a Yoruba man called, Tunde Bakare with Wole Soyinka are today seen as the enemies of Gej, and they've been branded traitors.

Ikengawo: The level of malice towards GEJ is unparalleled in Nigeria from the SW.@OP, you seem to have fallen for the antics of the noisy but few ACN liars and propagandists on NL. Just take out a few minutes to research the profile of the few yoruba IDs that relentlessly attack GEJ on this platform. If you do, you'll discover that for over 90% of these usernames, their attacks and insults on GEJ dates back to pre-2011 elections. In 2011, these same haters were hating and abusing GEJ on NL, while GEJ was winning elections in the southwest. Dont be deceived, the few noisy Tinubu's dogs on this forum do not, in any way, represent the feelings of an average yoruba person on ground. Tinubu's dogs can only make noise and bark, and their noise begins and end on NL. Besides, they aren't even as noisy as they were in 2011. If you want to know how noisy they were in 2011, just open an average NL thread of that era, you'll think the whole world is against GEJ. For the media houses that now operate from Tinubu's bedroom (Punch, Nations, etc), most Nigerians no longer take their reports seriously. 7 Likes |

Yoruba people don't hate him. But we are candid and honest in our appraisal of his tenure. The guy hasn't risen to the level of expectation we had for him when we elected him so obviously we aren't too happy. We expected him to be an action man as opposed to Yara'dull. But GEJ is proving to be even duller that we imagine. He acts like a puppet. Unlike the Igbos, we are not fawning over him and singing his praises. I guess in your eyes, that means we hate him? Not so. 2 Likes |

the funniest thing is that one main reason yorubas don't like him is the way he has performed on the Boko-Haram issue. Very very ineptly. You would think that Igbos would be the ones most angry at him for his performance on this issue, yet they worship him. Very paradoxical. Also, the fuel subsidy crisis from last yr was just ridiculous and showed him to be a puppet of the IMF. |
