After going thru this thread, I figured out something. In a country of the blind, the guy with one eye rules, with all these insults on the president, I think that means He's better than y'all. If he's retard, we are immobile for his actions determine if we move or not, if he has coconut head, that means we all have no head for indeed we elected him there, if he always bride ppl to get there, that makes us all thieves for accepting his bribe to put him there. Orale carnal.

After causing disunity in the AU by rushing to recognize Libyan rebels even when the AU leadership tried to broker peace, he now turns around to contest for the leadership position in thesame body. A joker. This clearly shows we have a daftee as president who does not do his homework very well.

He thinks other African countries have leaders with short memories like Nigerians that will forget PDP atrocities in 2015 election.

@idealkocep,
until we start telling ourselves the truth, nothing will change here. it is only a fool that keeps doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
are we still giant of Africa? the answer is noooooooo. we are no giant of africa. benin republic president winning nigerian president, if our joe get shame, the news this morning will be that he has committed sui,
do u think joe will loose if our own jega was in charge of that election? no he will come out with a land sliding victory as usual.
instead of a president to use his office to bring peace to his own state(bayelsa) he is busy using his political muscles to bring about disunity in his state. joe brought bombing to nigeria and is gradually taking these bombing to his state.
look at nigeria, many committees probing many frauds yet non has come out or will come out with anything reasonable.
how can a man whose wife is a criminal be bold enough to look at someone else in the face and call that one criminal.
do you think other africans are as blind as nigerians on the crimes of this pdp govt?

You are the true definition of OLODO
So because they did not support his badly thought out, power hungry decision to renege on a gentleman's agreement to put forward the Benin president it means they have a grudge against Nigeria eh? When will you guys get your heads out of Jonadunce's ars3 and become your own men?
If he had any sense and shame at all he'd have even sent his foreign minister there in the first place so he could stay back home and try to fix all the wahala on the home front as well as save some face wrt his ignominious stance during the Ghadaffi saga.
Rather he went there with an overbloated entourage to seek to usurp an agreement. Thank God they disgraced him. Id1ot!

Well I am sorry you see things that way. . . . For all I care To hell with GEJ and his ambitions I could give a sh!t less about him. I was speaking based on a bunch of decisions taken against Nigeria by other Afican countries in various African organisations. You come across as one who seems to think they know too much. But at a closer look, it becomes obvious that you are an epitome of the term "Jack of all trade master of none."  I am not implying that you wear "Yellow shorts" but I have been thinking. . . . When will mentally deranged people, learn to read posts properly before jumping into conclusion, and making excessively retarded comments[b]?[/b] Possibly when people like you learn to channel their energy towards their sub-blue collar 9 to 5 job, and stop dying to be relevant on a freaking ONLINE FORUM! Anyway, judging by your post, you have transcended the point of stupidity into a dimension unknowing. You are an unchallengeable proof that evolution can actually go in reverse mode too.

The man needs a sense of priority. He has his hands full with stuff going on in his country.
THAT is where his attention should be. I rebuke the tendency of scatter-head in GEJ in Jesus Name.

You are right on point, but you have failed to understand that the issue of Boko Haram is more of politiccs than usual islamic militancy experienced in the other part of the world. Were you not aware tha a Nigerian once said that if he is not elected as the president of this country that Nigeria will not know peace. Have you aske yourself, why is it that it is only when a southerner rules this country that those almajiris in the north ferment trouble in the name of religion. Yesterday it was sharia, now Boko Haram. I know Jonathan is not doing enough to out smart his opponents but if this country is to move on we should  all assist him in whatever way we can rather than criticising him from all front. The removal of the five states governor has been a welcome development in deepening our democratic values and norm. I am surprise you a looking at it from political perspective. Please open your eyes, there are things you are not seeing right. It is always easy to see the mistakes of players from spectators angle.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

President Jonathan Did Not Contest for AU Chairmanship



It has come to our attention that some media houses are alleging that President Goodluck Jonathan was "defeated" by President Yayi Boni of Benin Republic in the “contest” to elect a new African Union Chairman at the 18th AU summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This report is false and is only the latest in a series of sensational and fictional reporting in a bid to cast the administration of President Jonathan in bad light. Let me make the following clear:



1. It is not true that President Yayi Boni “defeated” President Goodluck Jonathan in an election; there was no contest in the first place and President Jonathan was not a candidate for the AU Chairmanship position.



2. It is also not true that President John Atta Mills opposed President Jonathan at any time. Ghana and Nigeria enjoy excellent relations.



3. It is true, however, that in the last week, some newspapers have been speculating that President Jonathan may be adopted by the ECOWAS Heads of States and Governments to be the next chairman of the African Union, since it was the turn of ECOWAS to produce the AU Chairman for 2012-2013. Mr. President was indeed approached by leaders within and outside the West African sub-region to take up the challenge of leading the AU for the next one year.



4. While appreciating this kind gesture, President Jonathan resolved that he needed time to focus on domestic affairs in Nigeria, and that it would be practically difficult for him to combine the three positions of President of Nigeria, Chairman of ECOWAS and Chairman of African Union. He therefore rejected the offer.



5. In order to make his position clear, President Jonathan, in his capacity as ECOWAS Chairman, summoned a mini-Summit of ECOWAS at the AU Commission Headquarters on Saturday, January 28, 2012, to ensure that there was a meeting of minds on the position of AU Chairman. His preference, he noted, would be for ECOWAS to adopt the leader of another country, in order to promote a sense of belonging among member-states. Nigeria, having occupied the position of AU Chairman four times in the past, would readily support any such country.



6. As it turned out, the President of the Republic of Benin had indicated interest in the position, which paved the way for his unanimous adoption by the ECOWAS Heads of State as the sub-region’s candidate for the AU Chair. Thus, it becomes obvious that President Jonathan rather than being “defeated” by President Yayi Boni of Benin actually facilitated his emergence as AU Chairman.

Oh! This is an afterthought! Why didn’t you respond before the announcement of the contest? It was in the media that GEJ was contesting. And no one debunked it. Now he has crashed woefully and you are digressing.

Just maintain your tail in between tour legs. Shameless opportunists!
