Someone lost a race and he's being celebrated as a hero for accepting defeat.

They make it seem like he won and handed over his victory magnanimously to Buhari.

I don't think Buhari would do the same if he lose because, animals are different from humans

U conceded defeat and where are we today when you gave over power are people not dying every day its better we emphasize more on things that unite us than things that divides us God save us all. long live federal republic of Nigeria.

We celebrate mediocrity too much in this part of the world. You lose an election, you concede defeat and you get celebrated... I don't get it...
GEJ is a perfect gentleman and I respect him a lot, But he lost that election and he knew it even before the election...

Did NOI lie or did GEJ forget? I'm confused.

Someone is not telling the truth here, NOI said she convinced GEJ to accept defeat,now its another story from GEJ . 2 adult who can't actually be trusted with their words.

Guestlander:


Why are you so sure Buhari will lose? Do you have opon ifa in front of you?

Because on the streets out here Nigerians are fed up with APC lies and the president's total unawareness and insensisitivity to many national issues.

Nigerians have also realised that the corruption fight is a scam cos we have fallen about 12 places in corruption rankings since 2016.

Forget what you see on NL, PMB has very very few supporters on ground.

Cheers.

I always know that ikonjo is a money loving bigot since the day she demand she be paid in Dollas....if GEJ dance to she n her cohot decision what state would d country have been

Worst they all fly out of the burning country.......God is watching all of una in 3D

Fear is the Harbinger of Peace.

That his book is not complete o if he doesn't explain the height of corruption under his watch, especially that of #dasukigate...

FFS, this is not a big deal. In every sane country, you're meant to step down when you lose an election. It's only in Nigeria that you become a hero because you lost and stepped down. E for no step down na. Mumu people

I don't know why young Nigerians are always in a hurry for short cuts. Headlines is always the main thing never the story behind it.

The man said they were making sundry suggestions... He was not paying them any mind. He never said any one of them said he should not concede or concede.

So touching... Can't stop respecting this man.

If had refused, the election would have been cancelled in some areas and rescheduled. There will be revolt, the North will go gaga and part of the West. Southeast and South south will be calm but will later retialate.
Some will be for and others against. The military will move in and to queel the riots,possibly a take over. Boko Haram will have a field day, Niger delta militants will take advantage of the commotion to grind the oil sector to a standstill,biafra agitators will step in forming a sepratist movement. It would have been total chaos and the genocide would have been unprecedented. The international community will step into the confusion,they also will be overwhelmed cos it won't be about election again but division of the country.
Millions will die cos Nigeria will become YUGOSLAVIA... War with different faces!!!

Thank you GEJ for not allowing your ambition come before the people.

Correct you got it right. Though he also has some fought but the sacrifice he made is golden.

It is funny,even his political enemies were with him

You see why we need a selfless person to rule us... We can now see everyone just like taking vain glory to justify how righteous and good they are to be the hero when all they need to do is just get there and get the job done and shutup! Nothing goes for nothing everyone is somehow selfish in their own way but we should always remember Karma will recompense you or your offspring for doing good...Evil never triumps good so why bother when people dont recognise your good deeds..Now who is lying among both? GEJ or okonjo? ...Anyway we are all humans but we should always never forget to avoid sensitive lies.

hehehehehe,funny being,read the story well oooo

But Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Mohammed Bello Adoke have a different recollection of events sir

Okojo-Iwela offers the following insight



And this is corroborated by both Segun Adeniyi and Mohammed Bello Adoke

Stop side tracking. Those different views if anything showed similarities. The point was that he was contemplating a mist the different alternative views and had not come to a definite cinclusion. In the end those were his advices and nothing more. He was the general and commander in chief. The final call rest with him and his heart. If he had made a wrong call you would have criticisms him. He made the right one so please give him his credits. You all hate to give him credit.

But I say he is the most credit worthy president since independence.

But Bubu dont care.
He is planning to win this election by fire by force.

chiefolododo:
Jonathan is not a general

. But he won a war before it began and brought peace to the land.

Good .We can now see that Jonathan is a man of peace surrounded by SELFISH PEOPLE .Even Okonjo Iweala !

Well those of you saying Jonathan did what he should have done and nothing special, well in a sane country, Buhari lit this country on fire when he lost, he should have been charged for treason and not anywhere near the sit of power. Judge for yourself hypocrites

TheRealestGuy:


Do you know how many people lost their lives after the 2011 elections just because of Buhari's statements after his loss?

Better brace yourself for 2019 cos if you think PMB will concede defeat peacefully the way GEJ did then you're living in a fool's paradise.

In Africa there's a sit tight syndrome with most of her so called leaders, even OBJ tried to bribe his way to a third term.

African leaders are known to love to hang on to power even at the cost of citizens lives and what GEJ did remains a very commendable feat in Africa.

Cheers.

This is democracy not 1980 military rule. Sit tight era is gone. Buhari loses, he gets out. Or should we heap praise then too that he conceded defeat? Bullcrap

it would have been complete chaos and bedlam....thank God he conceded.

Although I stand to be corrected. GEJ participated in an election, lost the election and conceded Simple!!!! The other option would simply have been for him to cheat!!! (cancelling elections in some polling unit etc). Do people now want us to eulogize GEJ for not cheating. It could have been an entirely different case (the way it's trying to be projected) if GEJ was cheated and despite that still conceded defeat then I would have if possible had personally recommended him for a Nobel Prize. NB It would be unfair to say GEJ was cheated, remember it was the same INEC chairman who umpired the election that brought him in was that same who supervised 2015 elections.

IamD18:
You did what you are suppose to do. Nothing special.

We should stop celebrating bullshiiiiit in this country.

God bless you!!!
If Buhari ends up loosing next year. The simple thing to do is hand over.
It’s a public office not anyones birth right .
Politics aside... we make all these politicians feel entitled.
It is an insult to our collective conscience that a public office holder will loose an election and he/she would even be contemplating on wether to accept defeat or do other - wise .

Jonathan actually won that election becausr card readers failed in many parts of his stronghold while Jega's INEC allowed child voters, illegal migrants from niger and chad to vote without card readers in buhari's stronghold in the north. We all know what happened, and how our yoruba media refused to report all these anomaly because we yorubas hated the way GEJ embraced the East as a father for all. GEJ simply wanted no bloodshed unlike the papa of Monkeys and baboons (PMB)


The current INEC is also planning to adopt same rigging measures, they are going to ensure card readers fail in PDP strongholds while immigrants from niger, sudan, chad without PVCs and underaged voters will be given a field day in buhari Jibril's stronghold.

Myn d44, I have reported this member for calling me a "devil" yet no punitive measure against him has been taken.

Is that how it's supposed to be?

Please stop misquoting me. Thank you.
