Marcelo290: Am trying hard to find that sector of the country that was down in Jonathan's era that is doing well now, I can't remember any, am being objective, don't mind those who speak with emotions or tribal affiliation.
As a South African has rightly said here, the best way to measure the progress of a country is the economy, now compare our economy when Jonathan was the President and now, be the judge yourself. when the economy is stable, it gives room for other development, inflation is the order of the day, fuel prices have gone high, everything is now costly, under Jonathan, the exchange rate per a dollar was #170 and we were throwing tantrums, check the exchange rate now and know if am telling the truth or not.
His policies have made some foreign companies shutdown, rendering thousands of people jobless and adding to the already saturated unemployed people, this same man took us to recession during his military regime in 1984, now he is back after some decades and we are hearing of same, is it a coincidence? deal with that. Fulani heardsmen attack is a menace, the last fight in Ile-ife, Yoruba land, only Yoruba people were arrested including their King, no Fulani was arrested, same with other areas where they have maimed and killed many.
However, i give him some credit in his fight for corruption which he is neither doing in a civilized way, and his enemies are the major targets, also Boko Haram attacks have reduced, even this can be debated cos some say he has a hand in the origin, as for the Chibok girls release, only gullible minds would fall for that mirage, they are just good with making noise and propaganda with nothing to show for it, don't be surprise some people you see here on NL are paid propagandists...
His vice is an educated and wise man, one of the reasons Nigeria is still standing as a country. Right now my own people are even clamouring for independence.
yes, you guys must be thankful to your vice. He's carrying a lot of burden
Lionessza: Ok great . He's really fun , I wish he could release a new video about the current political situation in SA coz I know he makes great zuma jokes . Does Ethiopia have stand up comedians?
yea. We have stand up but not much organized.
His Zuma and India jokes entertain me. His Zuma jockes tho. . . .kikikiki
Marcelo290: Don't ever put Jonathan and Buhari in one sentence again, there is no comparison! Buhari is an abyssal failure! He is a tribal bigot, also lacks what it takes to govern a 21st century country, his 97 and 5% statement during his early days in office is one reason you see ethnic divisions/haterd and bashing even here on NL. His useless policies and appointments has brought the country to a halt, while Jonathan appointed technocrats in various fields to run the country, Buhari who it took almost 7 months to appoint his ministers did so with much sentiments and along ethic/tribal lines, Jonathan wasn't a tribalist, Buhari is... check most of his appointments and you would see the definition of tribalism aside what he says, most are from one section of the country.
Jonathan was a great leader, naturally, he is a good man, he embarked on huge infrastructural development, built 12 new federal universities to make sure each state has one, (this helped to reduce tension in the country thus emphasizing that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander), he revived our trains which stopped working about 30 years ago hitherto, built 130 almajiri schools for the northerners who so hated him, gave subsidies to farmers as to increase yield, made favourable policies and provided a good environment for local and foreign investors, all his major appointments were held by technocrats who were intellectuals in the field not minding the region they came from, this in contrast to Buhari who made appointments along religious, tribal, party and ethic lines, there was meritocracy rather than the mediocre we have now, our current minister for power is a Lawyer, minister for Petroleum same, now tell me the correlation. Even sensitive positions that ought to be handled by intellectuals like the ICT, Agriculture, Education etc are held by old dummies who don't know shii.
I can go on and on, a liberal democrat who despite the critics, he didn't hurt a fly, sponsored many Nigerians scholarship abroad, have you heard of the Abuja centenary city? have you heard of the world's Trade Centre in Abuja? these and many more infrastructural developments are his brainchild, that is the kind of man I would like to call my leader, an educated and experienced man who has seen life from both ends, his shortcomings was the media, he didn't make good use of it, he felt since he was doing well for all to see, he would still be voted, but you know how gullible some people are, easily brainwashed, mostly the core northerners, Buhari came to power with no plans to solve the problems he pointed out with is "Change and fight corruption mantra"... now many are crying and wishing Jonathan would come back.
He would award projects without proper scruntization of the cost which led to embezzlement, that was his major short fall, he lacked that bit of dictator spirit which every African leader ought to have, so anybody you hear insult Jonathan or said he did nothing, just know that person is a tribalist or just choose to be blind.
All ya have different opinions on your current govt.
genieluv: Thanks. Well, most neighbouring Nigerian countries do not really have a variety of African clothes like Nigeria buh they still do wear. Nigerians we developed ours far better than theirs. The man's upper cloth, hmm, well i'm not sure the material it was made of. Cos we have many of such materials n also import many.
****Here are some samples of cultural clothes of other west africans. Ednited check them out.
genieluv: Kk. Yes, i think it is my best for now, until i download more . I have about 4 of his songs in my playlist.
***Towards the ending of this song, he started singing something like 'Mira mira......moro moro....mira mira'. Lol. What is the meaning? Cos i love that part so much.
Please hear track 4, 13, 7 and 9. Which is my fav. especially 4

Muafrika2: Tutsi are just a bit mixed but you can still see their distinction and cushite attributes. The history of Ethiopia and intertribal wars and conquests explains how they found themselves in Central Africa.
9jakool: Really you have never heard of FESTAC 77. Festac stands for Festival of Arts and Culture. It's probably, one of the largest festival ever held in the World. It was almost kind of like an olympic of African cultures.
It was a one month long event that took place in 1997 in Lagos specifically in 4 venues which are the national arts theater, National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos City Hall and Tafawa Balewa Square. The festival featured art, music, theatrical performances, literature and history throughout the continent.
The FESTAC village was constructed to accomodate the 17,000 people who participated in the festival. The National arts theater was also built specifically for the event. The event had participants from all the countries in Africa as well as some from the Americas. It was backed by UNESCO and many organizations.
Here is a 1977 promo, the time 16:33- 17:05 is about Ethiopia.
