Pa Eziachi, so good to hear from you. Hope you are well Sir. Another excellent and balanced write-up. Hope you will stick around to at least help look at the new cabinet post May 29th. Wishing you a happy Easter.

Nairalanders, read from the very wise and honourable Pa Eziachi further real and on-the-ground damnation about the conduct of "democrat" GEJ. I am telling you all to be calm because revelations about GEJ rule will shock Nigerians. He was simply self-serving to the end. Nothing else. I agree with Eziachi that GEJ deserves some respect for throwing in the towel even if he was forced to but it is now becoming nauseating how his supporters want to transform this failure of 5 years, who we can never forget destroyed many lives, into a champion of democracy. GEJ has no positive legacy and his army off losers want him to go out with this "democracy champion" accolade by force. Won't work because we are not even anywhere near knowing the real Jonathan and what he did in office. Intelligent folks know the truth about this new ruse and fraud seeking to deify an outgoing GEJ a "democrat. We shall see. I am a patient man

Eziachi:
It is no secret that I personally had never rated Goodluck Jonathan as a leader right from his days as a deputy governor in Bayelsa, and nothing to do with just his presidency. I have always maintained that he was among those a certain faith usually placed on the Nigeria accidental leadership conveyer belt that began with Tafawa Balewa.

For the first time since Jonathan stumbled upon the leadership of Nigeria he made a decisive decision without going if, can I or should I that had plagued his leadership from day one, that has often resulted in bad news that could have been avoided. It was such indecisiveness that cost him a second term as president.

That first time decisive action was his decision to thrown in the towel when it was obvious that that the evil day they conspired to postpone for six weeks is not going away and now a complete reality especially after that Orubebe show of shame, as Obama and the Americans, plus the EU were kneeling on his back and probably the words of his former godfather (OBJ) was ringing in his ears about the Gbagbo’s outcome effect.

So I commended Jonathan for saving self that agony, saving innocent kids in Niger Delta of whom leeches like Orubebe has already mapped out evil plans to sacrifice. It must have been difficult for him to call it a day, especially with the sort of pressure his power drunken Mrs could have mounted on him to fight rather than to go quietly.

Having said that, it a bit going over the top, calling Jonathan a hero, the saviour of Nigeria democracy, the highest statesman etc by some crack head politicians and their supporters who cost him the election in the first place through their actions, inactions and zombie like utterances. Jonathan did what any sensible person will do when you got no choice or any positive alternatives. Calling Jonathan a hero is like calling a starving person a hero for gulping down a cheeseburger with a bottle of ice cold cola.

I was in Orlu on the elections day and saw how the whole place was locked down with armoured personnel carriers. However, the indiscriminate arrest of those the perceived to be their opponent and intimidation was very scary. By the evening on the Election Day, the whole of Mgbee Road in Orlu town leading to Ideato towards Ogboko where Mr Okorocha hails from was like a military war zone. I witnessed this first hand, not through internet posted pictures. That is not what a hero of democracy inspires his foot soldiers to do.

Having said all that, Jonathan deserved some respect and must be commended and emulated by all leaders, especially those in Nigeria to accept defeat when it’s a real defeat and to say no when it’s a fraudulent defeat through peaceful means, like Al Gore did in 2001 or Fayemi in 2014.
In fact, most African leaders ARE already ahead in terms of accepting defeat, irrespective of the so called incumbency when they lose.

And have you seen how relax Jonathan looks this days since conceding defeat to Mr Buhari? I was telling my wife that he must have had the best sleep in 6 years that night. Suddenly he is free, from the Chibok girls to the empty treasury he will leave behind.

PassingShot:
The bolded summarize the type of pathetic life you live. The only thing you deserve is pity as living must be really frustrating for you.

Kpele!

Ignore that cretin. Easily one of the most annoying and sentimentally unintelligent Nairalanders I know. They will all be disgraced again very soon. If you inspect the past utterances of these Jonathanians losers and TANdroids you will see they all stand disgraced and totally discredited. From the 'protection seeker' telling us Jonathan will "sweep the SW" to the hack threatening that "No GEJ no SW/North access to SE/SS oil". These are not the sort of discredited losers, empty chest beaters, braggarts and charlatans anyone should take seriously or waste their own time on. Let us just continue to wait and see.

They are now seeking to find a saving grace for a horrendously failed Presidency of 5 years. These immature mugus do not know that being seen as a democrat will be the least of GEJ's worries post May 29 when the new Government begins to gain access to all the atrocities the GEJ government committed in office. We dey laff in OBJ voice.

dustmalik:
Lamentation of LOSERS. Keep at it. Whether you like it or not, Buhari will rule this country better than anyone before him. You guys can commit suicide, for all i care.

Precisely. That is what they are. They are all liars as well happy to lie to themselves and others. The PDP was not ready to hand over and the entire world knew this and was ready for them. look at the video below where the fat bastard Okupe was threatening and shouting that Buhari "will never rule Nigeria". Where do people think Fayose, FFK, Mama Piss et al got the audacity to be insulting Buhari so much if they genuinely believed he had a chance to become their President? Would any of us do it? Does it making sense acting as they did unless they were sure Buhari would "never rule Nigeria"? They had sworn never to hand over to Buhari and put numerous plans in place to ensure this. This is why they all insulted Buhari at will and thoroughly thrashed the man, his family and his good name and reputation.

What they did not bargain for was GEJ acting to save his own skin, when pressure from home and abroad descended on him, and throwing them under the bus to the extent they are all on their own and Allison-Madueke has paid a visit to Abdulsalami's home which she probably has never visited in all her time in Government. Let us watch as things unravel. I can tell you TANdroids will be disgraced again because they do not know and will never understand what motivates the self-serving man they worship who remains about self-preservation above everything else.

nduchucks:
The peace accord put together by Abdulsalami and others, which was publicly signed by GEJ and Buhari is the primary reason why GEJ conceded so quickly. GEJ did not concede out of the goodness of his heart, far from it.

When Faka was calling for the stoning of Buhari supporters and making other irresponsible and provocative statements on the campaign trail, she was called out. Faka's attitude and irresponsible behavior coupled by those of FFK, Okupe, and Orubebe, were enough to cause Buhari to suspect that GEJ had no intentions of accepting defeat.

You people can continue to wallow in denial as you deem fit.

My brother, don't bother explaining anything to these losers and desperately dishonest revisionists. Is it Jonathan who divided Nigerian Governors and empowered the "15 is greater than 19" NGF election farce we are supposed to see as a champion of democracy? Is it GEJ who ordered our AGF, Adoke Bello, and former IGP, Ringim, to spring Teslim Folarin from a murder charge and have him flown to Abuja on a Presidential jet to deliver delegate votes to defeat Atiku in 2010 that is now an "exemplary democrat"? Desperation all the way to directly influencing the release of an alleged Murderer for God sake?

We all know the examples, too many to list, that expose GEJ as a self-serving desperado ready to do anything to get his way and remain in power. Did he not watch more than 15,000.00 die over 4 years only to then initiate military action when it was obvious he was going to lose the elections? Even revelations to come about Boko Haram will shock Nigerians. Like I said above, and for those always speaking rashly to then look foolish later, we will see the wikileaks-style 'extra information' that will suddenly begin to come out when GEJ after May 29th and the press no longer have to respect him or deal with him cordially.

I see the usual Jonathanian losers and shameless TANdroids are here talking nonsense as expected. The fact any pragmatically honest and balanced person will not deny is that Jonathan, over 5 years, has shown a level of callousness, cunning, political desperation and total lack of principles to make a solid case for sensible people believing he will do anything but hand over power. Obviously he has conceded defeat and now his losers will look for ways to spin him in a positive light. Well, all I will say to the forum is that I am a patient man. I waited patiently, since joining NL in 2009, and never left till PDP was ousted at the centre.

I will now wait for GEJ to leave and then be without any sort of power at all. We shall see how long it takes for the truth to begin coming out as per why GEJ conceded defeat and congratulated Buhari quickly to leave you desperate charlatans disgraced again. The problem is that GEJ is supported by follwers who are like him. I.e not very intelligent and quick to rash actions/actions utterance that later comes back to destroy and disgrace them. I realise trying to launder GEJ's image as some 'champion of democracy' is all that his sentimental and impulsive followers have left as the only thing to hold on to. Well, talk all you want. You lot usually do only to be disgraced. I will only warn you, as I usually do, wait and see. You people never ever learn. Wait till there is no reason for anyone to respect GEJ any more or accord him cordiality. Not long to wait.

Ilekeh:
And when he does, you'll be the same one crying "he's targeting Igbos". I'll be here too.

Una get mouth. Same you that sworethat Buhari will never be president, now that he won, you're saying he cheated. Buhari got most votes in the north, GEJ in the SE/SS. Yet you want to tell us that the election was rigged. Where? SS/SE?

Don't bother with that bitter n1twit. Losers like him are not relevant currently. They made so much noise before the election yet are now reduced to being impotent empty barrels no one reckons with. Abeg, ignore those bitter losers and empty chest beater. All they know to do is make noise and no one takes them seriously any longer.

BlackTechnology:
Whether you hate it or not, Buhari represents a False Change



When is Buhari probing Tinubu and OBJ

You have no shame showing your face on these sort of threads. Did I not call you out for your impotent threats of "No GEJ no SS/SE oil"? Silly coward and empty braggart. The militants you were counting on have grown fat and used to their luxury lifestyle. We await you taking to the creeks to deny the SW and North "SE/SS oil" as you love to call it. Foolish loser and impotent chest beater. We were waiting for you to deliver on the thousands of hollow threats you were fond of making daily here for the past few months yet you have changed tone before Buhari is even sworn in. How do people around you even stand you?

No GEJ No oil No Nigeria.

On true federalism we stand.

Keep your prayers bling-bling Pastor. We already know you hate Buhari, his region and religion. You are not one of those who will be allowed to declare "the King is dead, long live the King".

OgaTheTop2:
Metuh, one of the many idiotas that deceived Jonathan and pushed him to failure. Your eyes are cleared now. Soon they all will leave Jonathan to carry his cross. This life as, smh.

Indeed. I am glad we won't have to listen to the likes of Metuh, FFK, Fayose, Okupe et al any more. Those characters made Nigeria appear a nation full of hooligans, charlatans and unprincipled liars.

Billyonaire:
Buhari is now a courtroom jester ? This is a man elected to be President, that will fight corruption, yet he is sitting down cracking jokes with Osinbade, the corrupt surrogate of Tinubu, who is by the way, one of the Directors of Alpha Beta, a company used to defraud me and my companies of my tax money.

I will be a Buhari fan, the moment he starts arresting corrupt politicians including Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Chicago Drug KingPin turned Politician, whose fraudulent acquisitions of land and ocean bays have left the mouths of Ibeju-Lekki Residents agape with awe.

Buhari, prove to us that it was you and not Tunde Idiagbon that ran things in the yesterdays of 1980s. You do not have 4 years, if Jonathan could be rigged out after making trains to move, after making fertilizers to go digital. You will definitely be booted out in a show of shame.

Stop the aged smiles, get to work and show us how you will stabilize the price of crude oil.

Every time you speak it is obvious you are extremely ignorant. Who da eff is Osinbade?

I said it before the election that PDP loudmouths like FFK, Fayose, Okupe et al should note that you could become nothing overnight minus power. GEJ was always lacking as a leader even as President of the biggest black nation on earth. Without power, how will such a man look out for others like Allison-Madueke while he is busy negotiating a 'soft landing' that will allow him to go and enjoy his loot in Otuoke?

Nigerians are yet to understand that Jonathan took a plea deal which will mean he is not disgraced and hounded yet others under him are fair game. This is why Allison-Madueke is on this begging mission that many of her PDP peers will be embarking on from now till Buhari is sworn in.

ChinemeOkpan:
Bros I am not making it up.

Diezani has been up and down visiting Atiku, General Abubakar, Okupe has been in touch with Tinubu and FFK is now on speaking terms with El Rufai.

You should know the antics of corrupt charlatans who seek protection for selfish reasons by now

Buhari is what Nigeria needs now and we thank the heavens for making it happen

Indeed. I think Buhari will inspire other leaders to be patriotic and willing to sacrifice for the greater good of Nigeria as it should be.

ChinemeOkpan:
The General has spoken!

His word is his bond!

This is a man that remained calm in the face of adversity and cruel attack from the PDP. He maintained his dignity throughout the campaign.

Nigerians are blessed to have Buhari as President Elect!

Diezani, FFK, Okupe, are now running up and down seeking protection. Sign of Change.

God bless Nigeria

"Seeking protection". Your words crack me up You're right though. Nigerians are blessed to have Buhari at this stage in our history where corruption, greed and wanton immorality has eaten into the fibre of Nigerian society completely.

ChinemeOkpan:
I am not a fan of Saraki- too much baggage but he has paid his dues, he took risks to work for the APC and boy he delivered. Kwara is now a APC state.

If the PDP did not rig heavily in Anambra, Ngige would have won hands down. He would have been my preferred choice. Going forward, it is only sensible that Saraki from the NC gets the Senate Presidency.

My opinion too. It should be Ngige. Yet he is no longer a Senator after May 29th. After all is said and done, Saraki is probably the best choice. Like you, I agree he has baggage but he seems to have come of age and appears to be at that level where Politicians begin to eye a positive legacy. He might see his position as redemption and a second chance to be a dynamic and pro-people Senate President perhaps preparing the grounds for a future presidential challenge. His commitment to the APC cause and hard work on behalf of the Party is commendable and indicative of how he is a determined and resourceful character who could be very useful helping the APC pass laws beneficial for Nigeria.

do you agree?

Give or take, yes. Choi, GEJ has really destroyed the PDP. Jonathan has to be the most polarising and most divisively destructive leader in the history of Nigeria. The PDP was finished when GEJ decided to chase out Amaechi, Kwankwaso et al for his own selfish agenda. Now the self-acclaimed "biggest Party" in Africa have been reduced to nothing under GEJ.

I support Saraki as well. I think he is a good choice given the options available.

luvmijeje:
Personally, I think those women failed because Jonathan is weak, dull, corrupt and unprincipled. Because I always wondered why Iweala performed excellently under Obasanjo but performed woefully under Jonathan.

No. Allison-Madueke, like GEJ, is innately corrupt and unprincipled by nature. Okonjo Iweala may not be corrupt but she is certainly unprincipled, a lair and complicit in the fiscally irresponsible and profligate leadership of Nigeria that Jonathan got away with. I really don't know if you are trying to tell us that women cannot be criminal-minded and unprincipled without a man, Jonathan this case, being responsible for their conduct. I hope this is not what you are saying .

Has your useless JagbaJantis of Bourdillon not by so doing bought protection for himself just like Ibori did with the other dying president, Yar'Adua

What is this loser talking about? Incoherent babble from a confused hypocrite and unintelligent nonentity.

oluspencer:
Hypocrisy is when diezani wears veils to visit Abdulsalami to beg buhari. Guess jona only beg on his and patience behalf yesterday

I have said it already. Everybody is on their own. Oga GEJ is now completely about looking after number one. Our Presido no send nobody. Fayose, Allison-Madueke, FFK et al, you are all on your own. Now you guys will all know the meaning of "power is transient" as we warned you would when you were carrying on like mini-gods.

anonimi:
Many commentators don't even know if the title matches the picture or not.

Many commentators do not know how things work among our leaders. If Buhari oversteps it will be Abacha, Part II.

You're pathetic. You went from pretending to want what is best for Nigeria to now suggesting crooks who have looted our nation blind, and ruined the lives of millions, should be allowed to keep their loot and left to go unpunished. I always knew, in regards to GEJ fans, that behind the veneer of shouting "transformation" up and down is an underbelly of anti-people wickedness and evil.

We will see what you think you know about "our leaders" when Buhari sanctions the recovery of Nigeria's stolen billions now hidden everywhere worldwide. You GEJ fans have all proven you know zilch about your fellow Nigerians and I can bet any money it will be proven soon that you know nothing about your leaders either.

"Please sir, beg Buhari for me. Na the devil make me do am".

Enouwem:
Brothers and Sisters, this dream came to pass...

Indeed.

My good friend Tochukwu has now come to his senses. Voting for APC governors, which is not going to happen anyway in alaigbo, is not really needed. Buhari will show you why me and others told you not to hate or resist him. His government will be fair and equitable to all. Igbos would not be marginalised or relegated to the background as the openly clannish and ethnocentric Jonathan did to the Yorubas.

Buhari has already said he will work for Nigerians who voted for him, those who voted against him and those who did not vote at all. Anybody who has anything special to contribute to the progess of Nigeria will be included in the Buhari "make Nigeria great" project. With Buhari it will not be about 'starving', sabotaging and discriminating against PDP states as the PDP openly did against others for 16 years. In any case, I believe the PDP will find it diffcult to survive because once Buhari begins to lead by example then Nigerians will all follow to make Nigeria work. The APC will then continue to be the choice of the majority by far.

Mynd44:
You will only turn yourself into what you claim to fight with this path.

Learn to see the funny side to all this and realize he is hurting

Prejudice and discrimination hurt people greatly. We should not tolerate it or those who practice it. I believe those who are open and unrepentant bigots should be shamed as obtains in progressive societies. That is another way to develop Nigeria and foster ethnic unity. Bigots should be shamed and showed there is no place for them in society.

When we "see the funny side" then Nigeria will continue to be the joke it is today where some leaders can openly make discriminatory statements before our president and all is waved off as a joke. I guess we all have different outlook based on our experiences. I personally think Nigerians tolerate and promote prejudice unacceptably. Progressive societies should not tolerate open bigotry, hate speeches and discriminatory hatred against anyone.

Perhaps I am too used to an environment where a white person is jailed for racially mocking on twitter a black footballer who had a heart attack on the pitch. We have different threshold of tolerance for hateful and malevolent bigots. I think they are nothing to joke about and speak to them like the scum they are but I concede you are entitled to see the 'funny side' and indulge those sort. Your prerogative entirely.

Mynd44:
Please no insults. There is no point to throwing insults around

If I have no kind words for a prejudiced and repellent bigot who openly wishes the worst for my ethnic group then most people would understand I am perfectly normal. I have no polite words for hardened bigots who discriminate against others because of race, colour, sex, age, ethnicity, religion et al. Carry on being 'polite' by doing the equivalent of a black man inviting an unrepentant racist to his home for dinner. My bad for trying to tell you not to indulge a bigot. Carry on.

Mynd44:
Lol

@Mynd44.

You have time arguing with that old, ugly and totally discredited bigot called chukwudi. He is one of those who should have deactivated his account out of shame because everything he predicted did not happen. He got everything wrong because he is a sentimental and prejudiced individual who ignores facts and prefers to work with fantasy, gossip and conjectures. Entertaining the idiocy of that yeye old man is done at your own expense.

change49ja:
The only reason why PDP survived for 16years was because of corruption.

That and the fact that they partisanly controlled the wealth and institutions of Nigeria. Minus the control they enjoyed as administrators of Nigeria's wealth and income, the PDP is finished. This is because the PDP is full of unprincipled hacks who joined the Party to get rich quick. Those sort, because the progress of Nigeria is not their concern to begin with, will nevef make an effective opposition.

saxywale:
Exactly...
''The Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom would be very concerned by any attempts to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission (INEC), or its Chairman, Prof Jega; or in any way distort the expressed will of the Nigerian people.''

They reminded GEJ of the Gbagbo treatment with a subtle threat in that joint statement. My guy GEJ prefers to enjoy his loot in peace instead of being shamed and disgraced. It's just common sense.

Thank you. Someone aware of the facts. GEJ remained about self-preservation to the end yet we know his fans, many hardcore bigots, will tell you GEJ's poo is brown Chocolate in an attempt to put a positive spin on everything to do with their fallen messiah. The reality is that GEJ was 'arm twisted' to concede defeat.

4bobo:
God bless you. This was what I was telling some people here before, they kept saying he saved country from disaster, and lf he refused to handover, and later caused wahala, that no body can arrest him, even icc because he never carry gun and kill people. I just laughed at their childlike thinking.

Too many ignorant kids running around. GEJ and his 'team' were not ready to go. We all saw Orubebe's shameless and desperate display. We have seen Okupe ranting like a maniac as well that "Buhari will never rule this Country". They already created an impression in the minds of powerful stakeholders , home and abroad, that team GEJ wanted to sit-tight by all means. This is why John Kerry was sniffing around and Obama directly and unprecedentedly addressed Nigerians about the elections. The determination was there to match any attempt by GEJ to sit-tight.

raumdeuter:
Well said

The Heroes are Buhari, Jagaban, Jega, and the millions who stayed on the queue in the rain and sun to vote Jonathanout

Don't mind these losers forever eager to spin GEJ in a positive light. I told them all before the election that a very powerful system, consisting of Nigerian and international 'players', wanted GEJ out. They realised he will make Nigeria fail if allowed to continue. This is a very powerful and influential lobby group the average Nigerian is not aware and thus did not account for. This group monitored and 'man-marked' every move GEJ made with the intention of leaving him no 'manoeuvre' room to frustrate the will of the people and sit-tight.

It was some in this group, from the west specifically, that moved to convince GEJ to accept the result as soon as they all knew, as early as Sunday, that Buhari had won. They made it clear to GEJ the implications of any sit-tight shenanigans which then goes on to cause chaos. Me and you know GEJ is the uber self-preservationist . Some can continue to delude themselves about GEJ being a democrat yet we know better. For me they can even nominate GEJ to replace Ban Ki Moon at the UN. I don't care. Good riddance to bad rubbish. What matters to me is that GEJ will no longer lead my beloved Nigeria beyond May 29 and that it is Buhari who takes over from him.

By the way, did you choose your user name because you are a fan of Thomas Mueller also nicknamed Raumdeuter?
