Life is full of surprises and your comment is surprising in that we tend to assume stuffs without necessarily finding it out....

Cheers... Nothing personal though...

Nothing personal as well. It is just about calling out an utter failure who has blood on his hands, robbed millions of people a good life and part of the sovereign wealth, and was a curse.

There's nothing to find out here...once you donate money to small counties, they'll give you an award for recognition. It is basically like donating or volunteering at local councils in the UK. I honestly don't know what he needs the lousy awards for tbh. If I were in his shoes, I would go ghost and enjoy the loot. But I guess he's too dumb to realise that no one cares about his existence.

Yet the only impact he made on your life is the 100 likes you hope to get from individuals who don't know better. While GEJ is busy pouring likes on his children in the form of 100s of millions on them. how pathetic life can be praising a man who didn't give a shiiit about your future.
Go and wail in your room bro. Sorry your bubu cant garner as much as that likes. Its not his fault that he requested for 100 likes and they gave him 200plus. Deal wit is bro.

On Saturday the 23rd of April, in Antioch, California, President Goodluck Jonathan was honoured by the cities of Antioch and Lathrop for promoting peace and democracy in Africa.
At the award ceremony, the mayor of the city of Antioch, Mayor Wade Harper, expressed his admiration for Jonathan and declared that the city of Antioch, California was proud of his legacies, especially his act of overseeing free, fair and conclusive elections and leaving the scene when the ovation was loudest.


He recommended Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's behavior to other leaders. Former President Jonathan, who was represented by Mr. Reno Omokri, gave a goodwill message to the two cities that had gathered to honor him as well as to the Nigerian community in the Bay Area of California. Dr. Jonathan said he was "proud of Nigerians in the diaspora and more so of Nigerians in the US and even more so of the Nigerian diaspora in California."

Continuing, the former President said Nigerians in the diaspora were an asset to Nigeria who remitted over $20 billion home annually, "much more than the World Bank, IMF and foreign direct investment."

Dr. Jonathan ended by saying he was proud of diaspora Nigerians and tried to show his appreciation for their support of Nigeria by ensuring that during his time in office at least three direct flights were initiated between America and Nigeria to ease travel and reduce costs for travelers to Nigeria.

Jonathan;s Goodwill message to the Cities of Antioch and Lathrop
I send this message of goodwill to the Nigerian community in the Bay Area of California who have gathered at Open Heavens Community church to celebrate with me as I am honored by the cities of Antioch and Lathrop. I had planned to be there. Indeed I had concluded travel plans. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control I could not make the trip.

I have always been proud of Nigerians in the diaspora and more so of Nigerians in the US and even more so of the Nigerian diaspora in California. Some of you may recall that upon my ascension to the office of President on May 6th, 2010, one of my first acts was to open up a Facebook page to personally interact with Nigerians.

In June 2010, a diaspora Nigerian from the Bay Area of California informed me on my Facebook page of an abandoned building belonging to Nigeria in San Francisco and I dispatched our then ambassador to that city to claim the property and renovate it.

Hopefully, the building may again host a consulate as it once did in the 80s. The point I am trying to make is that I have been communicating with you and I see you as an asset to Nigeria that makes me proud. Elsewhere, I have mentioned that aside from oil, diaspora Nigerians are the single largest source of capital inflow into Nigeria. In my last year as President you remitted $21 billion home. Much more than the World Bank, IMF and foreign direct investment. My people, you are an asset to your fatherland.

Because of the importance with which I held you, my administration facilitated direct flights to Nigeria from the US to Nigeria. We ensured no less than three airlines fly direct between Nigeria and the US including one from Houston to Lagos for the benefit of those of you from the West Coast.

We also ensured that Enugu airport was upgraded to an international airport and I recall that a number of diaspora Nigerians from the US boarded the inaugural Ethiopian airlines flight that landed there in August of 2013. Again let me say that I appreciate the Nigerian community in the Bay Area.

I would also want like to thank Mayor Wade Harper and the council members of the city of Antioch for choosing to honor me for my efforts in promoting democracy. I am indeed humbled by their thoughtfulness in recognizing our modest efforts. I also wish to express my gratitude to the city of Lathrop and its mayor and council for also deeming it fit to recognize our efforts.

I wish I could be there in person, however, I have asked Reno Omokri to represent and I am with you in spirit. Thank you and may God bless Nigeria, may God bless California, may He bless the cities of Antioch and Lathrop and my God bless you.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria 2010-2015

Cities of Antioch and Lathrop

I have been living in California most of my life. I have never heard of these cities.

I just had to google it. Antioch is a city of about 100,000 people (one of those little towns off the highways).

Jonathan's handlers are shameless.

This 'honour' will not erase his Ineffectual Buffon title the whole world knows he actually deserve.

This 'honour' will not change the fact that Goodluck Ebele Jonathan led a team of vandals to vandalize our Nation.

This 'honour' will not change the fact that GEJ is the only president in the history of Nigeria who destroyed our Armed Forces by corrupting them and making them Ineffectual on the battle field.

Re: Jonathan Honored By Two Californian Cities by ISpiksDaTroof: 3:25am On Apr 25, 2016
Reno Omokri is organizing sham awards from city to city in hopes that when he is indicted GEJ will come to his aid or what? Or is he hoping to push GEJ forward as an alternative in 2019? Or use GEJ to sponsor his own political ambitions or private business? It has to be something because all of this is not making sense. I bet GEJ himself is already tired that's why he didn't bother showing up for this latest comedy show and asked Reno to go accept the award on his behalf and to help him read his acceptance speech to a empty hall.

The man who could not make any positive impact in his home state Bayelsa, for period he was president, there is no road in his home town, his people are groaning, and he is taking awards in another country.

Clueless indeed.

OLADD:


Redirect your kolo-mentalism to the sitting president who refused to negotiate with Boko haram at the peripheral stage of the insurgency when he was nominated as the only trusted negotiator by the sect. If he had done that (just the way Obj did) maybe we wouldn't be where we are today. After completing the bend, you can then make a detour by venting your anger on northern elders who are playing politics with the lives of their fellow countrymen. Leave Jonathan out of it. OK?


OLADD, you for change A to O com eend with another "o" for Olodo,. Buhari refused cos BH had blood on their hands and he said he did not want to be a part of it, also, idiots chopping money were telling I and you that Buhari is sponsoring BH while enriching themselves and having ineffectual buffoon in power. Anybody will trust Buhari cos he is a man of his words. Instead of you to blame GEJ and his corrupt admin, you still brougt Buhari into it Was it his govt, why should he be responsible?
