Coming from the looting and stealing is not corruption clown who supervised the greatest treasury looting and stealing in the history of mankind and topped it off with the most divisive and unintelligent ethnic rubbish like this and that section of the country is my pillar of support when even at the end of the day, the same section of the country and his so-called pillar of support benefited ZERO from his administration.


The looting and stealing clown collected the largest FG revenue in the history of Nigeria but left empty treasury and reserve with not 1 single major completed infrastructure.


The fact that this dotard is not in jail and still running mouth is a reflection of a very lawless and aimless country.


What a travesty.

What is your cow rearer uniting the country with nepotism, incompetence. What has kunu drinking master achieved, 15 trillion squander including the recent 9 trillion. Yes GEJ divided the country but there were no visible agitations as it is with your President jubrin.

That's because those that were not benefitting from his govt were matured enough to strategize to win the next election and not wail and start unnecessary agitation just because they are not in power. Buhari did not cause any division, it is those that refuse to move on after their miscalculation in the last election that are causing division....

Jonathan said

If Sanusi hadn’t been suspended he would have come up with a different figure… If anyone steals $50 billion or $20 billion anywhere America will know, they will tell you where it is; it is their money.

For doing what Kachikwu did, Sanusi was sacked by Jonathan. Supporters of Jonathan accused Sanusi of sabotage then; today they call Kachikwu a hero

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/02/jonathan-suspends-lamido-sanusi-cbn-gov/

Over 70% of what are called corruption (cases), even by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and other anti-corruption agencies, is not corruption, but common stealing.

Former president, Goodluck Jonathan has revealed the steps he took to deal with Ethnic tensions during his time as president of Nigeria.

Jonathan said that he convened a National conference in 2014 to douse the rising ethnic tensions across the country.PoliticsNGR learned that He made this revelation while delivering a speech at the opening panel of the Dialogue of Civilizations, Multipolarity and Dialogue in Regional and Global Developments,’ Rhodes Forum’s 15th Anniversary Summit in Greece on Friday.

He said;  "When I was in office as President, I championed the cause for good governance, transparent elections and peaceful power transfers, because I also believed that at the heart of the dialogue for a more peaceful world, is the need to cultivate a culture of democracy and good governance at the national levels. This is a good way to reduce local tensions that could blossom into global crisis.

In Nigeria, through a process of dialogue, we arrived at an amnesty programme that brought an end to the crisis in the Niger Delta, an oil-rich region in my country that accounts for all the oil wells that remain the mainstay of Nigeria’s economy.

Sometime in 2014, I had a thought in my mind. Nigeria is easily the most ethnically and religiously heterogeneous society in Africa, and one of the most diverse nations in the world.

Many times, these different ethnic groups are pulling in diverse directions that as a leader, you may experience genuine fears that the centre may not hold. At that time, I asked myself, how can I as President, help build a more harmonious union in Nigeria. One based on the words of our National Anthem which ends with ‘to build a nation where peace and justice shall reign’.

To address this I convened a National Conference where the various ethnic groups and other stakeholders deliberated for five months on the future of the country. They had the mandate to discuss and advise the Government on all matters pertaining to our nationhood, except the sovereignty of the country.

On Thursday, August 21, 2014, I received the report. Our general elections came up six months after the national conference. The confidence and national goodwill the conference inspired, helped bring down the tension during and after the general elections. It was a confidence-boosting outcome, despite the predictions by some international bodies that Nigeria was going to disintegrate in 2015."

Just a few days ago, the Present Muhammadu Buhari-led administration stated that it will not be implementing the resolutions of the 2014 Confab report.

Sort of amusing that the ineffectual buffoon aka Fortunatus only recently found his voice and that at Caucasian speech circuits where ignorance of daily happenings in Nigeria by his audience give wings for the flight of his lies. During his tenure The ND and Kanu IPOB had yet to discover they are marginalized in Nigeria! He had only BH to contend with but demonstrated abysmal disability in the appreciation of intel which by default allowed BH dig in and demystified our Defence Forces. In its present form BH will think twice about taking on our Army

Okupe threatened to deal with whoever did to Jonathan what is currently being done to Buhari

http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/threads/warning-insulting-president-jonathan-now-a-punishable-offence-presidency.85934/

Name-callings such as "clueless" and "drunkard" will henceforth be punished according to the SSA.

"Being a critic is no license to insult and abuse government officials; most especially the President of the nation," Okupe argued.

He, therefore, said that his office will correct the trend even it will tantamount to doing it by "force".

Dr Okupe added that "when you say the President is a drunkard and so forth, you no longer deserve any respect."

Just shut up there abeg. Be sipping your sapele water there in Otuoke. You messed up so bad we had to put our confidence in Buhari to save us. Now we jumped from frying pan to fire.
Boko Haram was on a killing spree right under your watch and you kept quiet in Abuja. We don't know if we should blame you more or Buhari.
Expired Nigerian politicians always give outdated advice since they invented bread and butter. Like if they did it better during their regime. Obasanjo too was running his mouth the other day.
