The summary of what former President Goodluck Jonathan said is that Nigeria has moved from being the giant of Africa to being the snail of Africa.

One thing is certain, Goodluck Jonathan has a hand in this sad and negative development.

He performed abysmally. And he knows this.

It is such a shame. Africa is waiting for Nigeria.

Nigeria owes the black race as her slow development is a huge setback to the entire world.

Agree with you!

Caseless:
We don't even have a collective national resolve that we want to make progress or grow, there's only a national resolve to steal. The resolve is, those inside should steal their own now, and those outside are waiting for their own turn to get inside the system and steal their own, too.

When those inside are out, they begin to complain about what they failed to fix while they were there, and those outside before, who are now inside stop complaining about the systemic problem or ignore them completely because it's their own turn to steal and feel insulated from our general problems. You don't talk while eating.

When they're out, they begin to complain again and the "circle" continues. That's what you see Jonathan doing now. That's what we always do.

His Goat and Yam theory is the best way to fight corruption, i've come to realize - even though he was not really serious about fighting corruption.

We have the most selfish population in the world. People hurt the system for their own gains and it's the norm.

No nation grows operating like we do and something is fundamentally wrong with us as a people.

And you call yourself an FX expert ? What a joke you are, check the exchange rate in early 2014 before the general election GEJ is the same as PMB why couldn't he maintained FX withing the range of 120-150 if he isn't a failure. PMB and GEJ are not better, a bag of rice was sold at 5-6k during Yaradua reign. Rice was sold between 10-12K during GEJ era (Meaning 90-100% increase in price PMB did almost the same by pegging Naira @400-500 while commodity price (Rice from 12k to 35k). You need basic economics and please change your Monica it doesn't befit you

For justice to be fairly served, I hope you include yourself among those averagely corrupt Nigerians to be killed.

I am not the one who first called for the elite to be killed. so going by your insinuation i think you are just pained and jealous. where were you and your ancestors when those elite were making money for themselves and their children.

Balderdash. Not making any sense.

Please find something better to do with your time.

I am through with you.

Agree with you!

Brilliantly captured assertion. I couldn’t have typed this better myself.

Very rare to see another Nigerian that know Nigerians for what they actually are.

Thank you!

We've been through it all, so we know our attitude toward things - we excel more at doing the wrong things than we do doing the right thing.

A northerner is beginning to see some good in Jonathan.
Hallelujah!!

Jonathan is a good guy, but too gentle to be a president.

Just hear yourself
I never knew presidency is for thugs

A philosophy that says no matter who you vote or dont vote, you deserve economic prosperity if you think i do as well.

I deserve to be rich whether u vote 4 me or not.
If u vote 4 me, it never means i will do ur job.
u will still have 2 do ur own job satisfactorily or be held among those responsible 4 the economic crises.

in other words,itz not about one person.

if the governors and senators dont reason like me, things wont improve even if i become president.


the rich people(which includes the rulers ,legislators and senators) have 2 ensure that the law makes my philosophy mandatory in politics/governance.



generalizations like we all wanna use someones head are needless.

u dont know how hardworking my mum has been 4rm the school as a teacher 2 the farm since i was born.
she has been teaching and farming.

she just wants a better job,she has suffered 2 much too.


u dont try to justify what a ruler is doing wrong by assuming we all wanna do it.

if the cost of governance must reduce,then the cost of every other thing including contesting an election must reduce as well.
