Is this the same ezekwezili that introduced a meaningless scheme while she was the education minister and allowed federal unity schools remain on strike? And for those shouting malpractice in SE/SS probably underage voters are legal in North.

Brimmie:
Thank you ma! Exactly what we've been telling them!

To them, If your House Rent expire and you leave The House peacefully, you deserve a Nobel Prize Award. At least for leaving in peace. Rubbish!!

My brother that is how Ibos think oh, rent your house to one to confirm my assertion

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.”

With all due respect Madam Oby, who asked your opinion on this matter? Why are you just bent on soiling your name and ruining whatever is left of your fading image. Why not hold on to the Chibok campaign, atleast it still hovers your name in the media and keeps it from going into 'extinction'.

If you are not blinded by your hate for Jonathan, you would atleast see the volatility of your remark. Jonathan has towed the unpopular path of conceding defeat much to the chagrin of his die-hard supporters and even enemies of the populace and you run your mouth amok to utter the gibberish you just did. Mind you, the challenge with the card reader during the accreditation is enough to have caused disruption of the elections but for his calm disposition and his comments especially giving his party's position on the use of card readers, let alone his phone call and unprecedented concession of defeat.

Please madam, keep your opinion to your self next time and stop making divisive statements capable of engulfing the nation in war and your type will board the next available flight out of this country leaving innocent and helpless Nigerians to bear the brunt of your nonsensical, irresponsible and highly unnecessary comments.

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!

Gbam!
You nailed it.

If any here is celebrating Easter in peace then tell this woman too keep quiet, what has she done to bring back these girls?? if its were are daughters taken she for carry cards too protest or she hire personal investigators to find her kids, hypocrisy at its peek

I totally agree with her. Isn't it the same Jonathan who was implicated in the Ekiti rigging scandal and refused to investigate it? Isn't it the same Jonathan who did nothing when his wife asked people to stone those who ask for change? Isn't it the same "I don't give a damn" Jonathan who refused to declared his assets? Isn't it the same Jonathan who did nothing when his vice president called APC a Christian party and asked northerners to vote for PDP becuase it is a more Muslim party? Isn't it the same Jonathan who waited until 6 weeks before the elections before combating Boko Haram. Isn't it the same Jonathan under whom corruption flourished like never before? Isn't it the same Jonathan who made sure the elections were postponed from the 14th of February to give himself a better chance of winning? Isn't it the same Jonathan that was busy distributing money before the election and was accused of bribing everyone including pastors?

The truth is, if Jonathan was truly a hero he won't have lost the elections in the first place. Jonathan deserves praise, though, for the single act of conceding defeat and congratulating Buhari but he certainly isn't a hero.

Mr know all tell that to d international community since u knw more than them.

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.

I guess d results frm kano were nt cooked up abi?Its nt important whether u and madam oby thinks otherwise,in d international community he is a hero u cant change that too bad.

Thank you my brother. After reading your post, I didn't need to write another one.

Oby ezekwesili is angry for not being appointed into GEJ cabinet.

She is too proud and stupid.

VERY SOON, just very soon , even OBJ, Buhari and the likes will wish to be Jonathan, cos he is a hero.

Had Oby ezekwesili anticipated the lives that would be lost if not for GEJ'S civilised manner, she would not be ranting nonsense.

She is selfish and wicked.

This "ordinary" thing PGEJ did is what his predecessors couldn't.

He put power in the hands of the people. He set the pace. Going forward, we decide who leads us.

Compare this with the records of all others who have led before him and you'll see that he's a far better man than they all. He deserves respect for this.

If he's got a case to answer, then he will answer, but for this, he deserves respect.

No one is perfect. Even when an evil man does good, his good deed is commended.

Firstly Mr(s) Teecher, Wikipedia is not considered to be an authoritative source. You may wish to reconsider citing a wiki definition as primary source.

Secondly, your forced definitions do not contemplate a scenario where the "person" is the architect of his own misfortune as you so rightly pointed out. He appointed Jega. He announced that he wouldn't interfere with the process (whether that is true or not is another issue). He cannot then claim to be a victim of the system that he created. There's no sacrifice or courage in that.

Finally, the handwriting on the wall showed that he had lost the election. Why didn't he place the call earlier? Before Orubebe's tantrum? All these gimmicks are designed for the gullible and uninformed. He did the proper thing but there was already immense pressure from the international community on him to accept the results whatever the outcome.
I won't waste any more effort on this topic. You can give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, or give a dog a good name in order to promote it, a dog will always be a dog.

This "ordinary" thing PGEJ did is what his predecessors couldn't.

He put power in the hands of the people. He set the pace. Going forward, we decide who leads us.

Compare this with the records of all others who have led before him and you'll see that he's a far better man than they all. He deserves respect for this.

If he's got a case to answer, then he will answer, but for this, he deserves respect.

No one is perfect. Even when an evil man does good, his good deed is commended.

I agree here.

You guys are commedians, 'he put power in the hands of people' How?

If it is by the elections conducted, that was not what he and PDP wanted but at the last minute, JEGA Jegalized them by introducing the PVC, that was why they were frantic when they realized they won't be able to RIG as usual, and started questioning Jega's integrity, they tried to beat it though but they couldn't, they still rigged as much as they could but it wasn't enough.

If it is by the fact that he conceded defeat, What else would he do?, What is the alternative? Gbagbo? The international Government were monitoring, they were checking every move, and sending messages, he has to just give up.

Now inspite of all these, I still appreciated that he is GEJ and not a person like Fayose whose desperation could dam the consequence and put Nigeria in chaos, So we thank him and wish him save Journey to Otueke, but Hero? Mba GEJ is no hero, he is an accidental leader, who got power and has no CLUE what to do with it.

[quote author=Monogamy post=32316728]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.”
