JayJohnson: One common denominator about the Jonathanians is their cluelessness and lack of vision coupled with being inept. It is obvious this President Jonathan wants power by force when he has been totally rejected. The boko haram war has been raging for years, yet his soldiers cannot fight a rag-tag local army of less than 3,000 Jihadist - shame on you Jonathan.
2015 will be a landmark in the history of Nigeria, Nigerians will totally reject the Ogogoro drinker from Otuke and vote for a president with foresight, vision and well prepared than this charlatans currently parading themselves in the corridor of power!
