Former Nigerian President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan took on his facebook page to commend and bless Nigeria Youths to mark Democracy Day in the country. On his post he listed out some great achievement done by the youths, He said " Nigeria Youths single handedly created Nollywood, the third largest movie industry in the world, can be expected to return the favour and make Nigeria proud.

The Post read:

On this Democracy Day 2018, I want to urge all Nigerians to pray for peace in Nigeria. We need peace in Nigeria. And it is up to you and I to ensure that our National Motto: Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress, is a reality and not just mere rhetoric. I urge Nigerians to understand and accept that nobody’s political, economic, religious or social ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian.

As this year’s Democracy Day falls on the holy month of Ramadan, let me seize the opportunity to also extend Ramadan greetings to the Muslim Ummah. As you pray for Nigeria, I join my faith with yours and look forward to our prayers being answered by Almighty God.

There are many opportunities and crises on the horizon, but we must have the mentality of seeing the opportunity in crisis rather than the crisis in opportunity.



We have one of the fastest growing youth population in the world and we must see this as an opportunity, not a crisis.

As I said previously, Nigerian youths ARE NOT LAZY.

What our youth need are opportunities to showcase their positive talents. They need leaders who believe in them and show affirmation for them through their words and actions.

Democracy is a game of numbers and the youths have the numbers. More than 50% of our population are youths. If we develop policies, programs and projects to empower the youth of Nigeria, the Nigerian youth, who single handedly created Nollywood, the third largest movie industry in the world, can be expected to return the favour and make Nigeria proud.

And they are already making us proud both locally and internationally.



Nigerian youths are showcasing their brilliance around the world and I want to make special mention of Ukoma Michael, who at thirteen years of age invented a battery operated fan that lasts for 19 hours on a full charge. This ingenuity domiciled in Michael should be encouraged by our leadership.

Internationally, Princess Elizabeth Bright and Ramota Tele Lawal, two 22 year old Nigerian youths who in May of 2018 became the youngest elected councillors in the United Kingdom, have made us proud. Very proud indeed.

These youths are the epitome of the hardworking, talented, innovative and ambitious Nigerian youth who make our nation respected in the community of nations and give us hope for tomorrow and national pride for today.

Rather than discourage them with our words and actions, we as leaders must give our youths hope by using our language to draw out the very best in them. We must accept that nations only grow when elders plant trees whose shade they know they may never personally enjoy. Leaders must think of the next generation and not just the next election.

While we celebrate Ukoma, Elizabeth and Ramota, I know that there are perhaps millions in Nigeria who are equally brilliant and only need the right enabling environment to unleash their creative genius. They are my inspiration on this Democracy Day. They are the reason why I believe in the continued corporate existence of this great nation founded on justice, equity and freedom.

Happy Democracy Day. God bless you and your family and may God bless Nigeria. GEJ.

I beg U, I beg, i just beg u, Mr Good-luck ebele Jonathan or what ever you are called park and cage your speeches wella make we quench the fire of your speech in Ekiti state first. Hypocrisy of the century, If u so much love Nigerians why not tell Nigerians that you are ready for probe at least to wash off your hands from all the accusations you have been receiving. Even Obj was courageous and shamefully said he is ready to be probed and you are there making hypocritical speeches. Do you love they Nigerian youths as you praise them? while you were in the office you,your family and your colleagues looted away the funds to enhance the capacity of children and youths Mkpi, Okoh okoh ewu you think we are still that stupid for you as before aby. If you feel Nigerians are happy with you, try to say you want to contest any election again even local council. Before any of your yeye speech, Mr former President just tell Nigerians that you are ready for probe just to wash your hands off, for the sake youths, children, Nigeria and for Gods sake.

Failure to declare readiness for probe then any of public comments means toying with your conscience, toying with Nigerians and The Almighty God that gave u that golden opportunity to save the next generation but you joked over it.

ElsonMorali:


Don't be dumb. That I despise Jonathan doesn't mean I support Buhari the INCOMPETENT.

Jonathan is an effectual buffoon while Buhari is an incompetent leader.
