Despite all attempts by Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's spokesmen to burnish his CV and make him appear to be a high-achiever, the truth is that he lacks any record of achievements prior to becoming the President of Nigeria, on which to base his aspiration to be elected president. I have nothing against him as a person, but I have issues with someone with no track record of significant achievement and vaguely defined moral character aspiring to be elected into the highest office in the land. I have challenged again and again his supporters on Nairaland to list his achievements prior to becoming president without result. I have also challenged them to enlighten me as to his guiding principles (moral) with concrete examples of how he has defended these principles.The achievements, which have been dressed up by his media handlers are frankly unimpressive and unremarkable. The CV he submitted to the Bayelsa State Assembly can be viewed at:

Jonathan is another wasted generation - I have said it before and God is my witness - nothing good can come out GEJ _ Actually Yar adua was and is better than Goodluck  _ Atleast the former had a track record when he was the governor of Kastina  - Jonathan has never achieved anything as an assistant or main governor,  Same thing is replicating itself in the presidential office another wasted 4 years - with another 4 to go down the drain.  It is insanity to expect good to come out of evil.  

When will Nigerians realise this and start fighting for their right to good goverance and not imbeciles or is it that we are so conditioned to suffering. At this stage of our suffering other countries would have gone under.

Nigeria will never see change until those who hold us ransom are physically terminated.

@poster.very well,let me disabuse your mind.doing great things in life does not neccessarily require one have some blazing track record[s]who was fashola before he became governor?who would have given a chief of staff a chance at the highest office in the state?no one but the asiwaju.how about washington?who gave him a chance?Goodluck's case is clearly the hand of God.how many foreigners have been kidnapped since he settled by the militants?none.the militants,are they still agitating?no.
Has crude oil exploration"the moving force of the Nigerian economy as we speak"increased?oh yes!!
How about power"the real machine for industrialisation"has it been touched;in my area,transformers have been distributed and installed;there is now more power by far better than before!!!on talking to one of the PHCN men,he said:we are replacing old transformers and placing new one's where they are needed.
Goodluck will not disappoint Nigerians;all the pointers are in the right direction.I implore all Nigerians to support our president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.I appreciate your post.have you read about Atta Turk,father of modern day Turkey?he didn't have any known achievement before he came to power,yet,he went down as the greatest man in the history of Turkey!!!
Men who do great things are known to talk less most times.
Long live Nigerians, long live the president,long live the federal republic of Nigeria.

i take back all i have said - it is not everyday we have a president who was 'best performing deputy governor ' 

the man has been groomed for leadership from day 1

i hope its not the same way he became governor and vp  that he took those positions of leadership

"A Daniel has come to judgement" Although this time its James.

"Great men are ordinary men, with extra-ordinary amount of determination" If our president is from oblivion as is being speculated, from whence he came into prominence where he is presently found, why can't we see that he has come to prominence from oblivion? and that makes him the most qualified candidate.

God Bless Nigeria!

The issue about the 2011 election that bothers me isn't GJ. We have just about 4 months to the 2011 elections, who are the presidential candidates? whom amongst the aspirants so far has a good CV?

IBB?
ATIKU?
GUSAU?
SHEKARAU?
OKOTIE?
GEJ?

If these are the only aspirants so far, then Nigeria is in deep sh.it

No man is an island. . .It is the quality of the people around him that I am worried about.

The times we are in do not demand an inspiring orator nor does it demand a larger than
life figure. We have had our share of those and they have gotten us nowhere.

We need the states to get stronger and a willing accomplice at the centre to aid
the process.

You hit the nail on the head. It couldn't be put better. Some of the other posters so far (including the OP), have made childish and foolish "cv" comments. I wonder which of the aspirants has a better cv than Jonathan? Is it ex-soldiers or ex-governors? Who?

We need someone who will be ready to give Nigeria true federalism. Corruption is not Nigeria's problem, rather it is a by product of the country's weird federal structure that was built for the singular purpose of criminal embezzlement; that structure needs to go, after which the country will blossom.

I thought there was a thing called relevant experience.

Of what use is a man running for Deputy Governorship telling the rest of the world that he was a class captian in Primary School.

Support GEJ for president,thank you.

And who has more relevant experience and how? Provide the details, that is the only way you can prove that this thread and its "cv" comments are not childish and foolish.

It is a challenge and I'm waiting, let us do an intelligent comparison, instead of the foolishness thats been going on.

Read my post again and see if your challenge to comparing who has more  experience contributes anything to my argument.

Stop allowing your c.o.c.k to get erected when u here about GEJ.

Chill, listen, analyse and then respond.

I am only questioning why Jonathan thinks his inclusion of being class captain in primary school proves anything about his political skills or ability to lead a State.

I see what you are trying to show. He failed his high or secondary school examination. And had to go back and retake it. I passed on the first time i did it with A's.

It even took him 2 years to pass to get to university, I got in fast.  It took him 7 years to get a PHD. What?

I dont think his academic record has any relevant to him been a good leader or not. Yes , he may have failed secondary school or high school . Yes he failed the entrance into the university on several occation. yes it took Jonathan goodluck 7 years to get a Phd. That has nothing to do with leadership.

Look when I was in the university of ilorin, you can go and check my medical record. I was sick all through the university. I have a body composition that made me sick when i was young.I was sick through all examination, my university medical record would show that. when I mean every examination. I mean that. my classmate would tell you. So you may not know what made Jonathan failed those examination. It may be family problem too or lack of money.

Even fashola said he too failed secondary school or high school too. But as governor, he is doing project. This is why they say fashola is better than Jonathan. Nobody cares for academic record, the only measurement is project. Azikiwe academic record is as high as the twin tower. But had nothing to show for his leadership. Leaders must have project to show for thier term in office. This is what people are talking about . Buying a private get is not a project.

Building road and facilities that is there for the next generation is what they call project.

Academic record has nothing to do with leadership, if it did with the numbers of PHD holders nigeria has so far tried in government, Nigeria would look like heaven. Even PHD holders have made the place worst than what it should have been. It is on record in Nigeria. They have all failed to perform. which other minister or president can claim he had PHD and has a record to show. NONE. PHD holders have failed Nigeria in leaders.

Nobody cares if you have a PHD. People are not going to look at your academic record but only the project you have done. And what you can do for them.

Did he ever tell you that? Have you ever seen Jonathans CV? Or you are just practising your customary foolishness after reading his biography?
Develop a brain dude, even if its a tiny one.
