And add to that some people actually mentioned a Nobel prize....

Smh

you dont know how many lives that were saved because GEJ accepted defeat. GMB lost to yaradua and proceeded to court and lives were lost. GMB lost to GEJ in 2011 we all know how many lives that were lost. Those of you that are saying he is not a hero do not know how hard it is for someone to accept defeat and also told his party not to go to election tribunal.


As for Chibok girls... I am waiting to see when they will return... but as far as i am concerned no girl was abducted from GSS chibok

Accepting defeat isn't a mark of heroism. Especially after the debacle in Rivers and the SS/SE.
It's okay to commend GEJ (whatever) but please don't obscure and rewrite history in the process. More importantly, anyone who can receive praise must be ready to receive criticism.

[/s]

What is your problem with SS/SE results? What about the north? So any state won by pdp is rigged?

Gbawe:


Indeed. Are we now supposed to forget the monumental and universally acclaimed misrule of GEJ because of one act he was bullied into by the likes of David Cameron, Obama et al? GEJ did not want to leave and was not prepared to leave hence the massive rigging - and we have even seen the video proof - conducted for him in Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom et al.

Whether people know it or not, the result, which showed Buhari had won despite the massive rigging of team GEJ, had been known since Sunday. Many moved behind the scene to convince GEJ not to try anything funny and subtle threats were deployed. GEJ, as expected of his self-serving nature, preferred not to piss-off this powerful lobby group. They never wanted to hand over and were willing to do anything to sit tight. Many simply showed GEJ he will be made to account for his action if chaos ensued because he did not want to accept the outcome of an election he clearly lost. GEJ was 'strong-armed' to accept defeat.

You guys may die of the next result coming from Rivers State

Bevista:
While I do think PGEJ acted very responsibly & statesmanly in the wake of the election results, I have my reservations about him.

The way the results from SS & SE were 'cooked' up and the last minute attempt by Orubebe to disrupt the final collation leaves one with a lot of questions about his desperation for power. Add that to the way he made State institutions like NTA and the military to falsely mislead Nigerians on the Buhari certificate saga.

[/s]

The Results from the north were BOILED?

Deem:
I will never refer President Jonathan as a hero too!

No one cares

what a shameless and LowLife completely used and dumped dicksucker!. Asuming GEJ Refused the results, do you know what will be the fate of Nigeria by now?

abeg carry toilet role clean that white thing wey stain for your lap joo.

A hero, according to Wikipedia, is

"a character or person, who, in the face of danger and
adversity or from a position of weakness, displays
courage or self-sacrifice"

Another source defines it thus:

"a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic
qualities or has performed a heroic act and is
regarded as a model or ideal"

Unless Ezekwesili has a different definition of a hero different from the above, then I beg to disagree with her.

For promising to conduct a free and fair election without interfering in the process, and keeping his words: that makes him a hero

Think for a second what would have become of last Saturday's election had the president lost his calm after the card reader failed to capture him and kept him waiting in the sun for over thirty minutes, moreso when his party had advised against the use of the card reader. Had he stormed out of that polling booth, that would have been the end of election that day, and the consequences could only have been imagined. For maintaining his cool in the face of that, he is a hero

For calling GMB and congratulating him(something GMB never did in 2011 and can never do), and thereby averting "goons and baboons" being soaked in blood, he is a hero

For telling his party not to bother contesting the outcome of the election in court to avoid distracting the incoming president, he is a hero

Hate him as much as you choose to do, Mrs Ezekwesili, you cannot take this glorious moment from him. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has set a standard for democracy, not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa. The man is a true democrat and, indeed, our national hero!

Omo, thank you and God bless u real good. That is how they use that their small mouth to cause anarchy. Can she imagine for one second what would have happened if GEJ had used state power?

To think that this woman messed up the education ministry under her watch. She even put up all the unity schools for sale. Talk is cheap. Nonsense

Do u want him to go to sambisa forest to bring the chibok girls. Y re u politicing issues, did he nt mke attempt? Den y did'nt u go there nd bring d chibok girls yourself to mke a hero nd a means of showin concern. Dan to deceive urself spear heading a campaign to frustrate his regime

LEARN HOW TO BE A VIRTUOUS WOMAN FIRST.

And Oby Ezekwesili and the hundreds of commentere here would have had the leisure to be typing here if Jonathan had not made that phone call?
I am not a Jonathan fan but if resisting all the pressure from all those hawkish PDP political jobbers, and making that concession phone call isn't heroic, then Oby and her supporters here have been watching too much cartoons!

My people- what is heroic about taking the right decision? GEJ just did the needful for once, the hand writing was clearly on the wall before him! Please lets stop all these hero worshipping and aspire for what we need- a better Nigeria. God bless

What is your problem with SS/SE results? What about the north? So any state won by pdp is rigged?

Your thinking is too biased to get the point. The issue isn't about PDP, APC or rigging. You don't call someone who okayed the large scale use of state resources for oppressing Nigerians a hero. FYI, Pdp won states in other regions including the North Central and South West.
Please try to understand what people are trying to say before posting chirpy comments.

Pls let be careful how match some1 who is already down & has sorrender,d war is over let mentain peace,No victor!No vanquish!

What are you saying man?

Monogamy:
Leader of the Bring Back Our Girls group and former minister of education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, has said that President Goodluck Jonathan does not deserve the hero tittle for accepting defeat in the just concluded presidential poll.

DAILY POST reports Jonathan, before the INEC chairman could announce the final result of last Saturday’s presidential election, had called General Buhari to congratulate him for winning the election.

Following his decision, many Nigerians have been praising the president for saving the entire nation from disaster.

However, Ezekwesili says if only Nigerians knew the extent of damage President Jonathan has done to Nigeria, they won’t hero worship him.

She took to her Twitter page on Thursday, to air her views on the recently held presidential election.

She tweeted: “When a review of President Jonathan’s administration is done, we’ll realize how much damage sycophancy did to governance. Example? Chibok Girls,” she wrote.

“A leader must be without an inordinate desire to be serenaded with ‘good news’ or their team will never let them know the true state of affairs.

“An environment that rewards sycophancy encourages team to withhold accurate ‘bad’ news (problems) from the leader while serving up ‘good news’.

” When a leader makes hero worshiping costly to those who engage in it, he/she deprives the ‘sellers’ market to set the ‘Mediocrity Benchmark.’

“A critical success factor in governance is for the leader to both in word and deed convey a culture that abhors sycophancy. No hero worshiping.”

I have huge respect for dis woman called Oby Ezekwesili....her type is very RARE in dis type of our society....

Madam Obasanjo, we don hear. I pity whoever calls himself your husband.

Bolade005:
Mr Ebele is not a hero to me, the real HERO is the man who never gave up his dream, the man who kept trying, the man who never stopped believing. General Muhammadu Buhari is the hero not Ebele.

Talking of heroes, the Late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh over Ebele.

Only if you knew the war brewing. You shut your gutter and praise God he took this decision to concede.. This woman is just talking trash trying to bring war to this country and she has nothing to offer. APC sponsored agenda she fuelled.. Make I see road abeg

God pass them all.

ibos don't need power you d!ckhead! they already have their kind of power. and they will use it to bring Jiminy and PDP to power in Lagos State.

continue to deceive ur poor self! That's wat u idio'ts said about the presidential election! If u guys love the stupi'd ideal of ur BIAFRA why do u keep populating our cities! Can't u see hw ungrateful an average Ibo man is! This is hw God punish an ungrateful man, He makes him irrelevant!

Abeg Just tell these people to stop embarrassing us. You can commend him, appreciate him, but which one is hero? and some mentioning Nobel peace price, for what na? His he the only one that'll hand over power in the world? His he not supposed to do that when he loss- International community will just be wondering what kind of MEDIOCRES we are.

Do watch your grammar please.

He is a hero because, he saved us from a disaster the world was waiting to witness, so many researchers and political analyst around the globe predicted doom for Nigeria during and after the presidential elections, US even predicted there will be no Nigeria...I accept the facts that lots of damages already happened but I bet you, we should thank God we are alive to witness a united Nigeria today because if GEJ had not performed that act of sportmanship that has really earned him the exhalted position of a statesman I am very sure most of us will be relying on the food stock piled at home before election, we will be scared to take a walk down the streets to celebrate victory of the just concluded election(if you want to know how violence taste, ask the boko haram escapees). With GEJ's influence he would have rigged the elections in the south east just as it was done last election where all the SE states gave him over 1Million votes, he would have sent the military to the North in the name of securing the polls, engage them in some kind of shooting and bombings which will instill fear amongst people, thereby preventing them from voting, with this he would have won the elections so well...but he did not. The world celebrate GMB and commend and hold in high esteemed GEJ because it takes a lot to do such. World leaders celebrate n respect him because from their experience they know his got the elections in his hands as the sitting president. He is a hero! "He without sin should cast the first stone". I will advice Oby Ezekwesili to emulate GMB by embracing sportmanship...

Long Live our General (GMB, GCFR)
Long Live our Statesman (GEJ, GCFR)
Long Live our amiable Jega
Long Live Nigerians...
We shall only remain strong if united and that is what we have shown to the world...
LONG LIVE OUR FEDERAL REPUBLIC
NIGERIA¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Madam oby,in as much as it pains u GEJ is a hero whether u like it or not.

naijaspeak:
[size=20pt]Jonathan is not an hero as being portrayed by the media. The People democratic party plunged Nigeria into needless suffering at the expense of Jonathan and politicians and minister who served under his government.

Huge amount of Nigeria oil wealth has been stolen and they are in the hands of the ruling class.

Jonathan created this misery and suffering Nigerian are going through while himself and his minister are living in stupendous wealth.

Conclusively, He should not be treated as an hero by the Nigerian society, media, international community, etc Ecowas is also being mislead to regard Jonathan as an hero.

Mrs Ezekwesili is 100 % correct in her statement in describing Jonathan as not an hero. Jonathan ruined the Nigerian economy.[/size]

Stop showing your stupidity here cos this site is not a physiatric home. You and your ur likes should hug the transformer cos the world is celebrating him

I bet you didn't know the trouble that man saved the entire nation by conceding defeat in timely manner.

It is normal, don't blame the woman. She needs a post from GMB administration and meanwhile madam, you can tell GMB to bring back the chibok girls alive because GEJ failed to bring them back. If calling GEJ a hero is your headache as you want to take everything from GEJ for saving Nigerians then you can ask GMB for GEJ's head when he ascends the throne.
