I don’t suffer fools gladly. Why because, they are bad managers of human and material resources. A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in speaking his or her opinion. A fool will chase after the wind because he lacks wisdom. When there is defective leadership recruitment process, wrong people will ascend leadership position. Leaders with followership mentality are pretenders in power. Nigeria had produced some of these kinds of leaders and the country is not the better for it. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, former president of Nigeria is not a better president than Mohammadu Buhari. Therefore, it is dreamy of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, when he said; he fought corruption silently without making noise and spread wealth rather than poverty. He said further that Dasuki his former National Security Adviser; did not steal any $2.8 billion dollars. Could all that be a joke or a form political theorizing?

Well, if there is righteousness in the heart; there will be beauty in character. I have an instinctive dislike for politicians. They play on public opinion because public opinion can be fluid. They check the national mode and attempt to incite mass sentiment by creating public debate. Political arguments are consequentialist arguments. They embody the push and pull factors of politics. A Chinese proverb said “A hundred listening is not equal to one seeing”. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan political mumbo Jumbo is up to some mischief. History never changes, our knowledge and understanding of it, are constantly changing. So, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is aiming at historical revisionism. I will refer him to Ecclesiastes chapter 7 verse 1 where the scripture says “a good name is better than fine perfume …” He can not rewrite history.

Yes! Dr. Goodluck Jonathan can feel the judgment of history. But, history can not be rewritten with meretricious actions. If he had chosen to break his sabbatical of silence: he should speak truth. I can understand why Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is seeking media space and contents; to proving his existential affirmation as a former president. But, politicians are always not true to their values. Abraham Lincoln said “If you want to test a man’s character, give him power” Also, Winston Churchill said “the price of greatness is responsibility”. Please, be presidential in your utterances and stop all forms of intellectual scaffolding. Nigerians will not give you consent of ignorance. Speak political niceties and be the elder statesman you have already become.

Any way, there is no difference between a rock and a hard place. There area two ways to increasing in wisdom: mistake and mentorship. But the willingness to listen is the most important part of mentoring. Dr. Goodluck’s political hypothesis on anti corruption is not an educated guess. Those who have left legacies that have changed human history are those who establish the history of their being upon the foundation of a faith in God. Good people produce great nations. The problem with the innocent is that: they do not know that they have been deceived. They believe the lie for lack of knowledge. Nigerians voted right in the 2015 presidential election and they have no regret about it; the economic recession not withstanding.
The Political claims of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan beggar’s belief, the odds and ends of politics. He is flipping the argument in favour of his administration. It beats one’s statistical imagination. Nice try Uncle GEJ. Leadership comes from common sense and accumulated wisdom. If Dr. Goodluck Jonathan would listen to the grapevine in the street, he would not whine that he created wealth rather than poverty. He can not generalize wealth creation; when in truth, only those who are politically connected around him were made rich over night. He created wealth only for his cronies and hanger’s on. He made the Central Bank of Nigeria, Central Bank of the PDP. Moneys were paid from the CBN to finance his 2015 presidential campaign.

It is politically incorrect for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to say that; he fought corruption silently. The insinuation that the present administration is fighting corruption noisily is rather uncharitable. There was no time Dr. Goodluck Jonathan fought corruption. His administration rather encouraged it. Corruption can not be fought secretly or silently as Dr. Goodluck Jonathan seems to be suggesting. There must be arrest and prosecution of politically exposed persons. This will generate news and not noise. The crusade against corruption must be total and holistic without any untouchable. There must not be any distraction, please.

Of your writeup:full of sound and fury,signfying nothing.

Woow....

Most Nigerians lacks sense of reasoning,from the inception of GEJ administration we witnessed accusations upon accusation. First sanusi accused him of squandering 30bn dollars the same way they accused Deziani of stealing 15bn ,Dasuki 2.1,Dokpesi Obanikoro,FFK etc,hve you guys thought within yourselves how much Nigeria makes in a year,how much is our yearly budget then adding all these money they accused his administration of looting is more than his 4yrs budget,and still we had a very God economy,Agriculture was at its best,our railways came back,our roads came back to life,YOUWIN and other good initiatives that promotes good living standards was introduced by the same administration....now nobody is stealing for the past two yrs our corruption fighter is yet to make money to change the dwindling economy and they still pointing accusing fingers on the man that left power peacefully,Nigera will never move forward with the kinda youths I see in this country,GEJ is not perfect but he has done his own part as a Nigerian,you guys should let him be.

This write up is thrash. Look at the context in which GEJ spoke. He said his administration bought warships, planes, ammunition etc. In-which money for those purchases where derived from that $2.2bn. Therefore he doesn't believe $2.2bn could have been stolen by Dasuki. And this isn't the same thing as Dasuki never stole.

You choose your perspective and what you want to believe.

If you tell them there's corruption in this present buhari's government, they'll disagree

If you tell them that this government is failing ON IT'S OWN MERIT in various areas, they'll disagree and make excuses for buhari.

If you tell them that the present method of corruption fight has a lot of intellectual hollowness in it and it's nothing more than fear factor or effect, they disagree.

They don't see BVN as an anti-corruption strategy. rather, they see breaking people's houses at night as the best anti-corruption strategy even when we know that doing that alone have made it almost impossible to win such cases in court. They have no choice than to whip up sentiments and emotions.

They told us about arms fund and how everything was looted. Someone says that amount can't be looted. They change the narrative to "misappropriation"

They say it was all about election funding, we say tell us how the present government got this election funds, they give us the impression that that doesn't matter.

Nigerians. WAKE UP!

DON'T LET THESE PEOPLE FOOL YOU TO ONLY BELIEVE THEM.

DO NOT JUST BELIEVE THIS GOVERNMENT. YOU'LL REGRET IT IN THE LONG RUN.

Whatever you think is his crime_ he held this country head high, and it is only intellectually bankrupt person, a mischief maker, sycophant and morally degenerated fellow, or a person who deliberately wanted to be economical with the truth that will score less the Nigeria of Goodluck with the Nigeria of today in terms of good governance_ I don't mean things were bed of roses then but it is far better than what we are experiencing presently.

Your level of ignorance is dizzying. And on top of that you've got this poo load of silly arrogance.

Hunger never reach this guy side yet, oga, wait small. e de come o

Fanaticism is a mental disorder....

I have an instinctive dislike for politicians. OP, you're very bias ehn. Only you dislike politicians yet you preferred one to the other.
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, former president of Nigeria is not a better president than Mohammadu Buhari.

Well-done OP. The above made me not take your post seriously.

I will refer him to Ecclesiastes chapter 7 verse 1 where the scripture says “a good name is better than fine perfume …” He can not rewrite history.

OP, there's a difference between me building a good name and someone else destroying my good name. It's obvious who will receive divine punishment eventually.

But, history can not be rewritten with meretricious actions. If he had chosen to break his sabbatical of silence: he should speak truth. JUDGE! what makes you think he isn't speaking the truth or what makes you not think the issues against him weren't exaggerated?

But, politicians are always not true to their values. Abraham Lincoln said “If you want to test a man’s character, give him power” Also, Winston Churchill said “the price of greatness is responsibility”. Please, be presidential in your utterances and stop all forms of intellectual scaffolding. Nigerians will not give you consent of ignorance.

You don't have the right to judge when you've already chosen a politician after your heart. Forgive me OP, but the above write up of yours is obviously meant for your favorite politician.

It is politically incorrect for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to say that; he fought corruption silently Politically incorrect? now I know it is "politically correct" to fight corruption on social media, to finalize one is corrupt before hearing in courts.

The insinuation that the present administration is fighting corruption noisily is rather uncharitable. thank God you voiced out your insinuation.

Corruption can not be fought secretly or silently as Dr. Goodluck Jonathan seems to be suggesting. There must be arrest and prosecution of politically exposed persons. This will generate news and not noise. The crusade against corruption must be total and holistic without any untouchable. There must not be any distraction, please.

Who told you corruption can't be fought secretly or silently? OP, you're more intelligent than me now what procedures or how do FBI or the secret police get hardened criminals?

You have to know GEJ is different from PMB. GEJ had no military standings or growth like PMB. He was like a chicken surrounded by cattles. So he had to use wisdom to fight corruption silently so he doesn't get distracted,or his plans thwarted. Though he never arrested anyone or make noise over it but his policies against corruption were right on point. Even those policies are those helping GMB to curb corruption effectively (if only he is fair though).

I admire the wisdom of GEJ. That's what you do when you're like a chicken in the midst of cattles. I don't know if anyone understands me.

Pro corruption, as a lover of corruption and critic of rationality, have you estimated what you think nigeria earns a day? Have u forgoten so soon that kpmg once wrote it that due to corruption, nigeria can not determine how much crude that is produced a day. Out of the budget, how much were actually spent on the intended purpose? Most of the money looted under your heroic president were not even remitted into the federation account

I understand you bro,may God continue to grow you in wisdom
Your type ate rarely found in this side of Africa

I have severally that the best and most effective way to corruption is not the garagara of arrest and detention of 'offenders', the best doesn't lie in enforcement but in a well articulated anti-corruption education designed to equip the populace with knowledge of the dangers and ill effect of corruption. Another effective way is blocking all the holes through which corruption corruption festers and this Jonathan did without many people knowing.
When he ended the corruption in the fertilizer distribution to farmers he didn't make a public announcement if it.
When he introduced IPPIS which aimed at sanitizing the salary system of the govt he did shout it.
BVN was introduced without much funfare, he tried removing the fraudulent subsidy scheme inherited but the enemies of Nigeria fought him to a standstill and he had to back tract.

Yes he didn't arrest and humiliate people on allegations of corruption but he was more concerned with laying down durable policies that will fight the scourge from the root and not the top as the current landlord of Aso Rock is doing.
