Wrong.. not my general

yes he did, even cried at a point.

3Ceagle:
Deeply look yourself up in the mirror. Common, the guy has made good sense.

There are a lot of false conclusions in the writeup. On a side note, the main killer of apga was rochas himself who sold off himself to APC when the plan of making apga a strong regional force was bearing fruits.
All in all, change is constant. If the pdp becomes a regional party, then that's the effect of inevitable change.

Billyonaire:
Goodluck did a great job. He has presented to Nigerians the Power to vote and make their votes count. He has presented to Nigerians the FOI Bill, we have the rights to express our grudges in words and even insult these goons in government houses. Jonathan got the tracks laid, the trains moving and the masses transported. Our roads are now better, our airports are now better and Enugu is now Akani Biam(ed), our SS/SE are "lifting off" from Enugu and "landing" without having to kiss Lagos road before jetting out.

Jonathan made history, when he made that call to concede defeat in an election which was clearly rigged. Above all, Jonathan Dismantled the Oligarchs of PDP and present to Nigeria a strong 2 party state. APC must as a matter of necessity, issue GEJ an award for this feat. OBJ crused oppositions, but today he is shamelessly frolicking with Tinubu, a man he nearly destroyed. Jonathan allowed opposition to thrive to present Nigerians with an option. History will be Jonathan's friend.

Jonathan remains, Nigeria's Jerry Rawlings. We must worship Jonathan as a god of Nigerian Politics.

Well said bro... Only the unenlightened cannot appreciate the achievements. Even buhari is againSt the FOI law.

''NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH''
ON THE OBA OF LAGOS THREAT TO IGBOS IN LAGOS.

I think we the igbo's have got a real big problem, we are ranting here and there about the recent threat credited to the Oba of lagos, it seems we haven't learnt any lesson yet. Our igbo leaders have sold out that region to the PDP just because of greed and sending the region to political extinction. Now let us reason together, the Oba of Lagos is not a politician and secondly he never supported the candidacy of Buhari, which he made it open when Goodluck visited him before the March 28 poll, he went to the extent of raining insults on former president OBJ, now he is coming out to create another confusion by his comment, have we sat down to ask ourselves maybe he might be working for the PDP? Because they know the igbo factor in the lagos election, and igbo man can be use to do dirty work, once you grease the palm of an Igbo man, he can sell his dignity. Why are we not seeing the big picture here? Why do we always throw away our golden opportunities to develop the igbo people? Why do we make ourselves to be seen as a betrayer? Lagos under the leadership of Tinubu and Fashola has recognized the Igbo in lagos and have been generous to the igbo even to the extent of appointing igbo's into their administration and allocating juicy positions, it only in Lagos that an Igbo man has been appointed commissioner for budget and planning, it only in Lagos that igbo has been elected local government chairman, other non Igbo states has never done that, yet we allow ourselves to be used against an administration that has been so generous to us. I think we should be ashamed of ourselves because we have a very big issue, during the fourth republic, the Igbo had the senate president and we killed ourselves, we masterminded the impeachment of our fellow brother because of position, it is only the igbo turn that we had 3 senate president in four years, we are the same people who witch hunt down our own blood brothers because of greed, Buhari floated CPC and won some states in the north and today all those governors are still with him up to date, tinubu created ACN and won all 4 states in the west and today they are still with him, Orji Uzo Kalu formed PPA, won abia and Imo, but what happened? They went back to that same PDP that sent them out. You are destroying yourselves, making yourselves inferior to other region, becoming a follower because you have refuse to have a leader as a result of lack of trust in each other, we know Buhari, Babagida, Atiku etc as current leader in the north, we know Tinubu, obasanjo, in the south west, we know Edwin Clark, Anenih, in the south south, who is our own leader in the south east? Ojukwu, who risk his career, life and family for the Igbo nation created APGA and yet he cannot lay claim to the whole of igbo state, this is a shame on us and the worst of it is that, they have sold out that legacy after his demise, former governor Peter Obi is a betrayer, he dumped a platform that gave him 8 years in office, and became a follower, I can still align with rochas, he collapsed his APGA in forming APC, he can be adjudged as a founding member of that party unlike Peter Obi who joined an already existing platform, Theodore Orji can be described as the worst governor in the southeast yet he has the mandate to represent in the senate, Stella oduah has corruption charges hanging on her neck yet she got an heroic welcome in her state and was given the mandate to senate, we openly celebrate criminality and yet we want to be accorded respect, in my own view I think the Oba was even kind, he should have said igbos will be delivered to shekau to deal with them or even put them in a container and bombed. What were you thinking? You think just as you have deprived yourselves an association with the federal government, so they will allow you to make their state loose same too, no way! They want development, lagos has recorded so much progress in the last 16 years without much federal empowerment, have you though how much more progress it will have with the federal might? I pity you and your investments in Lagos. You said you want independent. I laugh, because have always asked where are the leaders that will govern us? Nwazurike formed MASSOB, today you said Jonathan has bought him over, hundreds of MASSOB members are in jail today, they have been denied bail but non of the Niger delta militant were jailed rather the collect billions of naira and they are sent abroad, yet you voted and cast ur support on Jonathan, I was told that it was the south south that betrayed Ojukwu during the war and he lost, thousands of Igbo died, yet you all shout GEJ till 2019, well thank God it didn't come through, because we are daft, he changed his name to Ebele Azikwe and we followed and say he is our brother. APC has come out to tell you to ignore the Oba, Tinubu has come out to do same, he went ahead to asked if the government have not been paying the school fees of igbo children in public schools, 4 igbo children has been given opportunity to become governor in a day in Lagos thru the spelling bee contest, they have enjoyed scholarship to study abroad in Lagos, yet we still shout everyday that the Oba threatened, why didn't ur so called Eze's protest at the meeting? The clapped for him because they are bunch of cowards. Well for me, an Igbo boy, born and breed in Lagos, I am appreciative of that state and will support it. Eko o ni baje.

Shut up there already. Disparaging your kin to impress some other groups will do you no good in the long run.

tochimas:
I fear for your rochas
Ohakim' s case should have taught him a lesson
IMO people chose him over ohakim and he thought that gave him right to misbehave.
The people of IMO state are still the king maker, yes, ROchas will go if they say so.
Even with all his gra gra.

How did he "misbehave" pls?

makzeze:
PDP call your boys to order. Learn to behave as an opposition party.

Jungle justice has no place in the new govt.

Burning houses is a strictly "sai buhari" -cum- APC fans ideology.

Rochas has been forgiven for dumping APGA at it's prime. He's a demagogue to the core, hence IMO peeps are willing to give him a second chance.

yibobasher:
We develop because we have fertile land and most of our children stay at home. You Igbos have an eroded barren lands and most of you run away from your homes like plague. When Oba said he will drown you all in Lagoon, that did not even make you want to go to back to your home. You all rather want to die in the lagoon than go back to your barren lands. Is that how cursed your lands are?

That's the problem with you folks. You just hide in Lagos or any southwestern city and feel you know all. Travel to the southeast for once. Don't worry, nobody will eat you if you're scared of all the cannibalism fables you've been hearing from childhood

Keegan:
You are blind and stup.I'd. Igbo are
enemy of progress and God
shamed them and will continue to
shame them forever if they fail to
repent. Show me any performer in
the east that supersede either
Fashola or Tinubu's performance in
Lagos. Shameless set of people,
lukuluku lo ma gbori yin danu! In
the first republic, Awolowo came
out as the best in the whole of the
Country for his performance in the
West, while in the 2nd republic
Latif Jakande was the best and in
this current dispensation let igbo
come out with anyone that perform
better than BAT or BRF in the whole
federation and many of these
ingrate and their wards benefited
from the good educational and
health policies of the Action Group
(AG), the Unity Party of Nigeria
(UPN) and the AD, ACN, APC
headed by these political genius
respectively. When our forefathers
were having empires, cities and
towns, igbo were in the thick forest
walking Unclad and living a
direction-less life lacked in moral
and intelligible culture, practising
osu with their fellow igbo even till
the present day, shame! If not for
colonization our paths wouldn't
have crossed and you'll be in your
God forsaken enclave. Igbo with
their latest madness and lack in
commonsense let the cat out of the
bag too early, they are clearly in a
deadly, dangerous and silly
competition with the Yoruba. Aso o
bo Omoye mo, o ti rin ihoho woja,
igbo are now open enemy to the
Yoruba. Ko si bi a se ma se ebolo ti
ko ni rungbe.

Calm down... Guess you've not heard of demagogues the like of Sam Mbakwe.. Peter Obi did marvellously well in his time.

yibobasher:
He doesn't have anything to lose. The Igbos does. At worst he will become a minister or ambassador. This dude has tried his best, it is unfortunate that he was born into a tribe of bigots that never reason beyond their myopic views. Now all Igbos states are in the hands of opposition party, let's see how they will develop

When all southwestern states were in ACN, did development stop there?

VIPERVENOM:
I dont think elections durin obj's time was this bad

Then you were either a kid or not resident in Nigeria then. Obj's tenure was the beginning of do or die politics. In connivance with Maurice iwu, electoral magic was performed. An obscure party (PPA) won in IMO when virtually no election held there then. It's like KOWA winning a state election with an unknown flag bearer because the president didn't want a particular major contender to win.

prodam:
Before you blame APC, don't forget there are 3 strong contenders in the state... PDP, APGA, APC...

Definitely not APGA...

ayusco85:
You win was a failure. Don't even go thr

Just say you don't know any beneficiary. .. I know of two.

ayusco85:
Just like march 28, I see APC sweeping at least 24 states out of 29 today.


Sai baba


#BabaNowThatYouAreThere.... I need capital to start my business. Just 10million naira will do

Na youwin for sure pass but you've voted the proponent out.

I think say na only Ibo people support Jonathan....

ozoigbondu:
See his fat stomach filled with too much of beer (Ranging from palm wine to gulder).All na wash.

How can he be seriously celebrating his substandard free education.Since he started this education charade the quality of education has fallen with rise in accpectance.l am of the school of thought that education should be paid.When one hussles to pay his fees he will know the value of it but if given free he toys with.No one knows the value of free things.

Tomorrow he will face the Judgement of th good people of imo if they find him guity he will be kicked if not he will contuine

Rochas is a true demagogue. He doesn't even need to campaign to win tomorrow.

suwailad:
When you find out the people behind their incarceration
you will see they are from the other part of the Niger river
fast forward till today those same people are still crying foul
what is their point?

Pls mention the names of the officers that Sat at the military tribunal that jailed them.

M4gunners:
He said one of Jonathan achievement is the set up for pension reform. Now that Buhari has finally enter,they have started to see Jonathan achievements,before they said he didn't do anything.God is watching.

Thunder go fire all of them. ..

He said one of the achievements of
President Goodluck Jonathan was the
setting up of the Pension Reform Task
Team in 2010, adding that the team in
its 2 years of operation was able to
recover N280 billion for government.
"The team courageously stopped the
stealing of N300 million daily by the
management of Police Pension Office
in 2011, the stealing of N4.25 billion
from the Head of Service on monthly
basis and the establishment of an
electronic pension management
system and smart cards to curb
stealing." he said.



Interesting!.... History will always be on GEJ's side, whether malu haters like it or not

uche77zero:
I strongly believe that her ability to develop a good business concept and initiate a good business plan gave her the grant not Goodluck if not you would gotten the grant as well

Credits to GEJ for providing such a entrepreneurial-positive platform tagged Youwin and also for making the choosing of winners transparent and irrespective of political loyalty.

Islie:
So, its only their own apartment.......


Why do I have the feeling that this is not the whole truth

It happens though. And it's usually fatal when the victims are asleep. Heard of a woman that was awoken by her dog as it could smell the gas better than humans.

Luxembourg : very high per Capita GDP (over $100,000) and less than 5% unemployment rate. Multilingual nation.

xdream:
Did you vote for GEJ? Did you campaign for his continuity in government?

When we were educating the public on the various things GEJ has done in Nigeria, they said we are talking rubbish. Remember Sure-P is there, VCF, YEAP and FAFIN, ATA etc.

Tony Elumelu would give out $10,000 but I can't guarantee that again with the change in government.

The youths of this country were brainwashed by the word "change," now day don break, you're awaiting miracles.

Am a YouWiN awardee, I hope the president elect would continue this program. I just hope so. Someone that claims he has just 150 cows will have the passion to give N10,000,000.00 each to 6000 Nigerians in the next four years? That's sixty billion naira man!

Next time, the youths of this country will learn how to appreciate a good leader that is passionate about touching the lives of his citizens.

YouWiN! apart, GEJ has touched the lives of many Nigerians from various platforms. This is why I badge him my hero!

#WalksAway...

I heard of a female youwin awardee in Abuja campaigning against Jonathan.... What an ingrate!..

Zwingina?? To APC?.. I'm not your fan but you folks should be mindful of those you let in your party.

GEJ's economic team (including SLS before he revolted) is the best we've ever and we'll ever have... I DON'T stand to be corrected.

Midlife crisis?

Onegai:
Quick question:

In 2011, the entire SW and North Central (Taraba and Plateau and co) overwhelmingly voted for GEJ. In 2015, the same regions gave their votes to Buhari.

So why are you people now calling them tribalistic?

And yeah, us SS people don't align ourselves with Igbo politics. Some of it is tribal but a lot of the animosity stems from the fact you guys are constantly claiming us "our brothers and our cousins" and there is a lot of dominancy to that claim. It makes us uncomfortable (an example of that is when Igbos meet me and expect me to speak Igbo, when I tell them I'm not, they brush it aside and tell me "you are as good as Igbo" as if my identity and culture don't matter. I don't care how similar you think we are, please respect that difference. I don't call everything above the Niger Hausa-Fulani, why should you call SS your kinsman without them welcoming it? ) An Urhobo man won a seat in Lagos, yet all I'm hearing is "Igbos are growing their clout in Lagos", because apparently his tribal identity is now Igbo (btw I'm from his constituency, he was winning Yoruba votes and not Igbo).

My mum queued up for hours to vote GEJ. If it had been an Igbo candidate, she would have realised her back would hurt from all that standing, there would probably be violence at the poll and used quite a lot of excuses to stay at home. Same thing with my relatives and a lot of SS voters.

You constantly lament about being victims of tribalism yet are tribalistic. GEJ got his largest number of votes from SS states and everyone there feels Igbos let him down by not turning out massively to support him. Because they (and i) kept hearing from so many Igbos "GEJ is our man" and no other reason backed it up save misplaced tribal sentiment. No Igbo state could give him up to 800, 000 votes yet here you all are, still arguing and beating your chests.

You've proved you cannot be relied on by any political party attempting to court you (even the SW you're insulting gave him more votes and if I'm a politician now, I will certainly brush up on my Hausa because those guys are loyal )

I'm not starting a war, just being truthful.

Summary: The almost 2 million votes (aggregate) gotten from the southeast are not appreciated. Noted.

PS: only the enugu votes were enough to clear the vote difference in the southwest.

Raiders:
Nigerians should stop going to South East Asia country like Malaysia and Indonesia

Not possible ...

EroticAngelina:
I have no fvcking idea what this means

Bimbo alert!

Everyone wanna join the "winning team". Making rubbish out of the democratic competition that's been apparently developed.

Hokum... The average buharist predicted a Jonathan loss...

irunoobo:
[size=13pt]


If something like this is happening after 16years of PDP rule then I can say the north was right to vote out PDP. These people are so wicked that once they are in power they care less about those who voted them in. What is the joy in looting billions of dollars and people die of poverty and drinks same water with goats? How much will a community bore-hole cost this wicked outgoing PDP government? And some dumb Igbo guys will call GEJ their hero for been a sore election looser and accepting his loss. Will Mandela, Nkrumah or Even dictator Ghadafii sit and watch his people drink with goats?


GEJ IS A FAILURE AND HE IS NO WHERE AMONG AFRICAN GREATS [/size]

How many bore holes did buhari drill there if he was such a genius?. Dunno why some of you think Nigeria was founded in 1999... Or in Jonathan administration at that..
PS: not only ibos voted Jonathan. Heck, ibibios, ijaws, itsekiri, anang, bini, Esan and yes, Yoruba voted him as well and is their hero...
