mickeymimi: Jonathan was forced by Western powers to concede and call GMB or else they were ready to whisk him to ICC i . Does he have a choice??!!
When he has signed peace accord plus the international eye is on him..A Peace Treaty…Non- Violence Pact was signed…. on two occasions- Before Feb 14 and March 28. So given the calibre of statesmen (Abubakar Abdulsami and co) and tension involved in the signing process, his ‘unaccepting’ a defeat peacefully could/would have been at HIS detriment. as if he didn’t try to rig the elections...what will he have done before. Put Aso rock on lock down? he is not a saint. don’t body should tell me he did not try to rig the election it just didn’t work for him.
What JONATHAN did (bowing out ‘peacefully’) is/was Sensible, Not Heroic. A hero for doing what he’s naturally supposed to do without being forced? We celebrate mediocrity and/or norms in this country.Then everybody is hero for every sane decision they’ve ever made.The truth is Jonathan had no choice.
What broke his camel’s back are 4 things-Card reader, PVC, Jega and Media. The last and fast card he played was to accept and concede to gain you people’s sympathy. He did all he could, but na God win!
it is only in Nigeria that someone will fail as a governor, become vice president, president , steal lose and fail woefully and when he returns home he is celebrated as a hero.
Why are we so enslaved in our land? why do we defer to people who are meant to be accountable to us .what makes Nigerians to thank Jonathan for handing over a government he does not own.
logica: People are funny; suggesting that he should spend his money on flight ticket and his time to go "clear his name". Is it the US judicial system that is now so infallible that they cannot make mistakes (either unintentional or intentional)? Go check on people being freed by The Innocence Project. If the US think he's a drug baron and want him so badly, they know how they do.

/ Don't mind them. As if opinions in NL count for anythIng in this case. The man couldn't be extradited from UK because they couldn't prove their case against him. He has been elected as a senator. Anyone that wants to lose sleep over that can go ahead. It is what it is.
Listening to some of these folks one would think US legal system is perfect. They tried. They failed. Case closed. \
Raiders: he should go and clear his name if he is not not the one indicted. He has an Intepol warrant out for his arrest. as long as the law is concern, he is a wanted fugutive. If he is innocent why is he still running from the US government
/ Listen to yourself.
A wanted fugitive in public sphere?
If he is of interest to USA, they know how to get him and it is very easy.
Rawani: There is no hiding place for the wicked. Abdulsalam himself should watch his back because General Buhari is restoring the blindfold of the goddess of justice, the $182m Halliburton bribery scandal recently linked to him is still alive.
But wait, why does Diezani suddenly need a mediator before meeting Jonathan? What could have suddenly gone wrong? The days ahead are pregnant.
/ In Nigeria's parlance, it is called "meeting before the meeting".
GEJ will not negotiate his own soft-landing.
He sends a beautiful woman to Abubakar who sizes him up to know his feelings.
After the negotiations, then both of them meet GEJ to put some finesse to the plot
CityNG: The U.S. and U.K. are bed partners. He was freed on legalities and the U.S. is most likely bidding their time to pick him up at their leisure without ruffling U.K.s feathers.
We can wait but I'm certain it's him.
We sell textiles in U.S. too let him come shop. I'll even host him
/ I am not saying he is innocent.
But conviction lies solely on the court. There are many factors at play in the court. Technicality happens to be one of them.
The onus was on the US government to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Alaji was Kashumu. They could not. There goes Kashamu.
They may elect to reopen his files if more evidence surface. But until then, Kashamu is not a convict but a suspect only in public opinions.
He is not even a fugitive else Interpol would nab him.
/ Whether it is him or not, the matter lies with the court. If the US govt. cannot prove her case against him, then he is free as a bird. Every suspect is not a criminal. Some people discharged and acquitted may be criminals same way some people convicted are innocent.
Once the court cannot convict you, you are deemed innocent. \
Firefire: [size=18pt]I’ll make Naira equal in value to dollar, says Buhari [/size]
Owerri – The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday said he would ensure that the Naira was equal to the dollar in value, if voted into office. Buhari stated this during the South-East presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyima Stadium, Owerri. “It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar; this does not speak well for the nation’s economy,’’ he said. He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected. Earlier, Gov Rochas Okorocha had urged APC supporters to vote for the party’s candidates at all levels, noting that a vote for Buhari without support to others at the state would amount to nothing. Okorocha said Buhari would address the problem of electricity, bring back the kidnapped Chibok girls and promote industrial growth. He said that Buhari was loved by the people in the region and urged them to elect him and other APC candidates during the March 28 and April 11 general elections. Former governor of Anambra, Mr Chinwoke Mbadinuju and former Minister of Education, Chinwe Obaji, were formally welcomed to the APC at the rally. The rally was attended by APC supporters from Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Imo. (NAN) -
ugoonuoha: So she sacrificed her reputation to serve her country and "do her best" rather than return to her enviable position at World Bank. You just made my point! Barth Nnaji is in his village with his integrity, while Prof. Nebo is calling the shots (For better or for worse; don't really understand power reforms). NOI has made a positive impact on the Nigerian economy. She's fought hard for many reforms. Some battles she won, some she lost understandably because she ain't an elected office holder. She published FAAC remittance to states. She introduced e-payments to eliminate graft via ghost workers. There was a time she even held up NASS members allowances. She has always been a vocal campaigner for greater punishment meted for corrupt officials (Her view of corruption is distinctly different from GEJ's own). My point is she did the best she could. Her legacy lives on.

You are comparing a World Bank position with an annual salary of about $250k/year with a job as a minister in Nigeria where you have millions of dollars you can loot with a single stroke of pen and no one raises an eyelid? World Bank where she was a boss vs. Co-ordinating minister where is the boss of the bosses.
You don't know the meaning of sacrifice. The propaganda really worked on some of you.
egbedore: No one is perfect and we all make mistakes at one time or the other. And as the adage says "To sin is human,but to forgive is divine"
But I have noticed that it is always difficult for ladies that have issues out of wedlock to get a man that will love and marry them. After all,having a child isn't a disease.
Why is this so?
/ It depends on how the woman plays her ball.
Some single ladies cannot even find a husband na im Fiberasima (abi wetin be her name) don get five under her belt. And she has kids!
/ There is a big difference between acting and failing vs. doing nothing and blaming imaginary enemies with all the excuses in the whole world.
What's the point in being the Commander-in-Chief when the individual is aloof?
The world turned their backs on GEJ because of the Chibok saga. When you have the first lady of USA and the president giving press conference about Chibok girls while GEJ was somewhere in SW eating birthday cake, it portrays GEJ as the most inhumane and wicked dullard at the highest level.
Even professional spin masters could not spin his idiocy out of that one. Jonathan's case is a good riddance to rubbish. /
nuelzy: well first i doubt he eva said or posted such tin since d thread lacks concrete evidence...and common,dude has gat his prestige..he is more talented..peter is still relevant cos of his dancing and errotic display of uncatchy packs...all in all dey still remain my no.1....but gosh! dat kissdaniel....#dude is making me.....
/ He emphasizes on that in most of his interviews. So I won't be surprised he said it.
I bet you if Mr. Akiolu sorry Oba Akiolu goes to London today, he will join other visitors in taking pictures at the Queen's gate like his counterpart Oba Adeyemi III. He will just be a number.
