Most of the government parastatals and corporations that have been run aground where done so by Master and PhD holders.

Good leadership is not by degrees.

blackpanda:

GudluckIBB:
Op how come Olisah Metuh has agreed to refund his own share of the loot?

He even said he supports PMB's anti corruption war.

Op if it is propaganda smentioned, can you compel Obanikoro to come home and starts walking on the street in Nigeria?

Op since Agbele, fayose's right hand man was arrested, how come fayose has not been talking?

Pls don't allow hatred to become cancerous to your system. Buhari has defeated jonathan and even the jonathan has moved on with his life. So make u sef dey busy with your own.

I am not saying Jonathan did much in any part of Nigeria. What I am saying is that he over associated with them. Ok what do you say about Jonathan adding Azikiwe to his name? That made the Yorubas and Notherners to think Jonathan is for the South East only.

Former president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan lost the presidential election because he acted like a political bigot


When former president Goodluck Jonathan contested the previous presidential election he won in most part of the country and met the statutory requirement of the law, defeating former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari retired, a fulani man from the North and other candidates.


President Goodluck Jonathan enjoyed the sympathy of the generality of Nigerians from all nook and cranny in the country by appealing to their emotions when he made public, a story of how he used to trek to school without shoes. Another good reason he won the election was that he portrayed himself as a detribalized Nigeria, which made the Yorubas and Hausas to vote for him en masse      


However during the 2015 presidential election. There was a lot of drama which snowballed into an overt defeat to the incumbent president. some of the melodrama are discussed below:


One of such drama was the sudden change of name from President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to President Goodluck Azikiwe  Ebele Jonathan.

There is the saying that you do not change a winning team, So why did he change the winning name? He changed his name in other to have a block vote from the South East and he got it. However this parochial and miscalculated move portrayed him as a tribalist, a political bigot and egocentric politician, because he did no consider the South West and the North.


Jonathan an Ijaw man and a legitimate free born from The Niger Delta area in the 2011 elections, suddenly became illegitimate and a lost slave in the 2015 elections and was adopted by the people from the South East.


Virtually everyday prior to the 2011 elections, on tv, you would see people from the South East and South South dancing with Ibo and Ijaw regalia and eulogising the president Goodluck Jonathan, giving a wrong impression to other part of the country that Jonathan had spent all Nigerian resources in these areas. To the extent that Igbo actors in Nollywood mobilized and openly campaigned for Jonathan while pouring insult on Buhari From the North. Some Igbos even accused Buhari of arresting their brothers who were into cocaine business when he was the head of state. There was no moderation, wisdom or even morality in their onslaught.


On 1st October 2010, there was a bomb blast in Abuja during the 50th independence anniversary celebrations. The then president Jonathan without proper investigation came out on air to exonerate his people, giving a wrong impression that people from the North were responsible, however, few hours later MEND- Movement For The Emancipation for Niger Delta claimed responsibility for the blast. The major player. Henry Oka was later caught.


All these point of view above point to the fact that the former president Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential election due to over association with the South East (Igbo) which are a significant minority and he did it without wisdom. Yorubas and most Northerners voted for Jonathan in 2011 because they felt he was from Niger Delta but when he added Azikiwe to his name during the 2015 elections they concluded that Jonathan was an Igbo Man. So they changed their mind, because most people from the North and South East are not convinced yet that Igbo people are mature enough or even ready to rule Nigeria.  Don't forget the issue of Biafra still lingers in the heart of most Nigerians especially the Notherners. Igbo people unfortunately are not even helping matters by trying to redeem their image. Take for example on nairaland Igbos are very quick at supporting and defending people with questionable characters such as Bukola Saraki, Sambo Dasuki, Nnamdi Kanu, Ayo Fayose, Olisa Metu. Majority of Nigerians will not vote for such people. If Jonathan was a good politician he would have added a Mohammed or a Fashola rather than an Azikiwe.

Argentina's problem is that their national team is not the Barca first eleven. It is Messi...and a host of some average players.

Maradona won the 1986 World Cup with some teammates who were exceptional in their own right(Buruchaga, Jose Lous Brown). Ditto Pele and the Brazilian squads of the year 1958 and 1970(1970 guys...Tostao, Rivellino, Jarzhinio, Clodolado, Carlos Alberto).

Modified...Thanks for all the responses. Wow!

Still....to slightly modify my point...Argentina has always had that problem of getting its good players together as a unit around Messi. (Maradona, during his stint as Albiceleste coach used dozens of players in the period 2009-10)....and that has always been the issue.

Faremisodeeq:
. Thank God Buhari was elected the president. Had it mean he was . People would have been saying petrol would have been N45,#1= $1 . And the likes . Let us just keep praying for naija

christiscomin:
You are wrong once again..... Read the news he was the second in command. DON'T WAKE UP, PICK UP YOUR PHONE, AND JUST COMMENT ON NAIRALAND......READ!!!

Guyman02:
The highest ranking Customs officer (Yoruba man) was bypassed for a retired Fulani soldier as CG, now why is the highest ranking Prison officer appointed to take over from Mr Ekpendu, why didnt PMB get a retired Yoruba Army Officer to take over for a balance?
I am not trying to be tribalistic but rationale as what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

We already know that the 5% people of S/E and S/S are not expecting to be named for any key position by the man who has not stepped foot in those regions for the past one year as highlighted by the British Foreign Minister.

dustmalik:
I remember reading on here a few weeks back, how a member of the security detail of the now sacked CG of Prison slapped a female member of the house of representatives. Today, he has been sacked.

faaz24:
Read my comment fully and digest well please.
Not trying to justify the killings

FisifunKododada:
That's demonstrably false. There was at least one huge protest in Aba attended by Cownu of all people months before his arrest.

TPAND:
Burna boys mom's comment is just insensitive. A girl cliam she's pregnant for your son, instead of telling your son to invite her, so you could get an authentic details of the whole event, you rather went on displaying traits of being a bad mother.

Burna boys mom's actions just suggested the kind of home she's from. Not all mothers deserve a happy Mother's Day. This woman is one of them

modath:
Oh oh, Pained? Really? over what exactly? Sadist MO?? quit playing..

Grief is in stages, Denial & Depression has been compressed and shown, we are in the anger stage now, hence the needless provocation, tantrums and hissy fits.....i see Bargaining soon, ACCEPTANCE is inevitable, it's a matter of time...''

omenka:
Are you ashamed of admitting you are the pained old mod kicked out because of his bigotry?? Mentioning Rose2014 to come assist you ward me off or what??

Like I said, you'd be more useful taking up arms and blowing things up yourself. Your rants on nairaland is of little or no use.

While at it, go back on my timeline, create a new thread, and repost ALL what I said about the ogogoro drunkard's era to show my "hypocrisy" and your "patriotism".

Pained loser. Like I give a cricket's ass what you hate or like.

Jesusloveyou:
ineffectual buffoon, he allow the scam to take place, that is why he never give a dawn till tomoro, that is why he was insensitive from day one, if it had happen in pmb time, within 2months it would have be over

TheGoodJoe:

Stop all these, families are going through pain and they are praying for their children's return.

Things like these can deflect attention from them while the families and friends go through pain.

We need to put pressure on the government to help reduce the pains of the families.
