While going through President Jonathan's CV, I found out he spent 8-9 years in Primary School. He definitely failed repeatedly before moving to another class.

Also it is also noticeable that he did not make the minimum credit in WAEC, he had to take GCE to complete the minimum credit requirement to study Zoology University of Port Harcourt.
this means nothing.. the most important CV u need to check is that he is now the president of nigeria.. i bet u will kill to spend 15yrs in primary sch and then bcum the president later on. . he is succesful,deal with it u fool

Mr Okukpe would be like ''well, am not surprised. Remember, Mr President had no shoes to trek to school, and the period would have included some part-time fishing activites, to get some money for school fees''.

If the guy was one exceptional leader like that, nobody would send even if he spent 15yrs in primary school. But its the same Jonathan that isn't even confident enough to address a press conference or maintain eye contact during an interview, and that is married to an illiterate.
I agree with the OP's scrutiny of his academic qualifications. The guy may have a Phd, but he's always struck me as an unintelligent person. We should even go further and search for his PhD thesis and scrutinise. Its possible that Nigeria is being run by a slowpoke that has no business at the helm of our affairs.

Erm.....this post is a bit riddiculous.

I have a mate who repeated a year in primary school. He ended up spending seven years in primary school and graduated at the top of his class. He is now an engineer.

So, even if President Jonathan repeated, or had to take WAEC 20 times....does it mean he is a dullard?Or does it mean that he did not give up on his studies in the face of failure?

I am not a fan of this administration, but this post is completely ridiculous,

The brain to do it is what matters not muscles and agility. The brain to take the right decisions at the right time. This is what GEJ lacks.
