They said, pictures don't lie. I don't see the reason for this argument. The issue to determine is very simple from the pictures we saw, can Amaechi tell the world that that was the same house he lived in? The answer is no. The attempt to defend himself is neither here nor there because the apartment has been vandalized and no one can deny that fact. The next question is, who did? Amaechi has been in charge but of recent and should explain to the world in pictures in what state he left the government house?

Amaechi has allow his emotion to take over his reason and acted more like spoilt brat. some many questions must be put to him:

1. where are his handing over notes?
2. why was he not at the inauguration ground?
3. Was there a tour of the government house facilities before the inauguration by the incoming government?

the man is a big disgrace and a shame to the Niger Deltans.

Keep the preaching to yourself. You don't know me. Do you?

I don't have the need to know you now or in the future. Just setting the record straight

PassingShot:
Where is the hate in laying bare his undoing?

Oh, we should not even talk about all his misdeeds while in office just because he conceded defeat in an election he lost. All his sins should be wiped off just for that singular act!
In that logic, Buhari should loot as he likes, concede defeat when he loses and we forget all his looting thereafter. And then the cycle continues.

What a warped reasoing!

I had to take a deep breath not to follow in your line of response. You need education to matter the level you may have attained. You may not understand the reason why people all over the world including Buhari speak glowingly about GEJ's act of conceding defeat because obviously it's not in your level. You need to also understand that allegation doesn't equate guilt and you don't convict a man by just making allegations without proving them beyond reasonable doubt. So many allegations have been made about Jonathan's administration and you need to be patient for those allegations to be substantiated in a court of law before you condemn the man.

Jonathan is celebrated for his act of conceding defeat despite obvious lapses in the election and thereby, saving the lives of hundreds of Nigerians even if it's just one life. His misdeeds as you alleged in office is another issue on its own and they won't stop people from celebrating his noble act.

themilanway:
Yet he wasnt re elected despite all these monumental achievement he recorded.

Are you saying a larger percentage of Nigerians that rejected him made a mistake?

Nigerians find it easy to believe lies and propaganda that they were sold to by the agent of change. Thank God some of us didn't buy it. Obviously, he is not perfect like every human. are these achievements real? yes they are and it beat my imagination that people didn't notice them. thanks to APC lies and propaganda.

APC is now in power, we are watching patiently the unfolding of their achievements.

themilanway:
Didnt change the fact that Jonathan ran this country to a ditch.

Never again will he govern this country.

That my friend is the picture they want you to see but no one talked about the agricultural revolution, bring the dead automobile industry back to live, you-win program, eradication of fertilizer scam, the building of 6 new airport terminals, the construction of standard guage rail line from abuja to kaduna, removal of over 50thousand ghost workers saving billions, 12 new universities across the country, dualisation of abuja-abaji-lokoja express road. The list is almost endless. So sad that millions say they were blinded and saw nothing changed during the last five year. May God have mercy on us all. Injustice to one is injustice to all. Let give credit to whom it's due

PassingShot:
Firstly, we appreciate that you conceded defeat early but please do not make it look like it's a huge favour you've done us.

Secondly, we also have no regrets voting you out and may we never regret it.

Thirdly, you failed to consider Nigerians first in many of your decisions and you relied too much on the sycophants around you. You therefore betrayed our trust in you having promised us "fresh air".

Fourthly, you failed to accept responsibilities when things went wrong; instead of accepting responsibilities and take decisive actions, you looked on as if all was well. Why Abba Moro, Diezani and even NOI are still ending their tenure with you remains a misery because they should have been fired long ago.

Lastly, the difference between APC and PDP will be seen in leadership. Buhari will accept responsibility for mistakes and take actions to correct them. And that's where you failed woefully.
Now, go in peace to Otuoke.

Those who harbour hate find it hard to see anything good in others. What has this man done that it's hard to forgive and see the human in him.

Really disappointed at your post. If we don't learn to let go then we are doom forever. Jonathan deserve to be commended for conceding defeat for others to follow. Elections should not be do or die even the winner of the election has commended him on several occasions. The world applaud him, why then are you crying more than the bereaved. Let go of hate, the world is a wonderful place

I won't comment about the several posts here but based on my perception of him, I make my comment and leave Judgment to God.

President Jonathan, it's obvious that you meant well for Nigeria and if possible could make any sacrifice for the greatness of our Nation. Many did not understand your humility and simple nature and regarded them as weakness and uncultured but despite all the humiliation and insults you did your very best to ensure that the country remained united and strong. You took bold steps even to your own detriment just to serve your fatherland.

You have lived your conscience and proven to Nigerians that you can still be humble even when you are in power. Go in peace and may the good Lord continue to bless and keep you and your family.

Keneking:
Jonathannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Parting gift to ehmTN....no smoke without fire whether gas, firewood or stove.

The economy is so hard outside oh...those people there should be thinking about how to succeed just in case.

Implication of losing $60bn under the current Jonathan's administration.

This government sef

What has addressing a false post by MTN got to do with Jonathannnnnnnnn as you put it. Very soon, virtually every failure will be link to Jonathan. I tire for my people. Look very much that you didn't read the post.

God will bless him for putting first the consideration of the suffering masses. How can capable Nigerians watch as the country is slowly being crippled. So sad, the love of self above any other considerations is greed and will destroy us as a people. Insults has been directed at the person of the president despite making all concessions necessary to end this fuel crisis.

Can we just be patriotic and put this nation first and this is why conceding defeat as made GEJ a hero that must be celebrated for others to emulate

PapiWata:
Ok ok try to calm down and stop the hysterics . Frog Eye Madueke is a vain and greedy kleptomaniac who is LONG overdue to spend some decades behind bars, at the pleasure of the government. Please don't deny Frog Eye her just reward for all that embezzlement and deliberate wastage of state funds on private jet charters flying routes served by major airlines. Frog Eye Madueke WILL remember where all that stolen money is hidden, once she has spent an adequate time to reflect in jail, under lock and key where she belongs until hell freezes over.

Allegations without substance will amount to nothing. If you rely only on the media for your source of information then you are in for a big shit.
Whatever the allegations might be the court of law has the final say. Comments on social media will remain what they are hearsay, allegations, speculations,etc without substance and of no effect. i don't wait time on such

kropotkin2:
lol! she realizes the big trouble she is in when the books are gonna be opened over the course of the next few weeks

Stop exposing your ignorance in public. A little thinking will dismiss this tales by moonlight. The elite class behave with much decorum toward one another compare to the other classes. They are civilized and will often act in manners befitting their statue in public.

makzeze:
Shame on Diezani!

She was at Abdussalam's house and now runnning after Buhari at the airport like an errand lady.

Please decode the story and you will see the falseness in it.

Djicemob:
All these media outfit saw it all but no one could as much as take a photo to back up the claim.

You,sharia reporters,punch and "everybody that saw it",una try well well.

Allow them. Even the gods fight in vain against ignorance. My people believe anything. The media once told us the discussion between a former head of states and his wife in the bedroom in the mid-night and yet naija believed. Anything seem possible.

The politicians now laugh at our gullibility at any happening.

BossTtdiamonds:
Crates, lots of crates awaits crooked politician.. like our famous Cock eyed Minister... Run eh!...
Temple run should probably model this scenario and create a "Temple Run Nigerian Version".. Buhari chasing em corrupt officials, no matter your highscore, them go still catch you...

we are in a democracy, the rule of law is supreme. Let the law takes its course.

The media obviously take Nigerians for a ride. This is pure junk journalism. Nigerians love sensational stories, if you can't get one please manufacture one A flight has a scheduled time for departure and sits are allocated prior to departure when booking has been confirmed. Just some few questions would have condemn this useless write up to the bin where it belongs.

First- what was the reason why she was running on the tarmac? was she late for the flight or if it was for buhari to sit close to him. Note the sitting arrangements are pre-determined. Buhari is only the president not a military head of states and there is a huge gap in between. We truly need education and my advise is don't wait for anyone to educate you please go out there and educate your self.

aviazuva:
Whether defeated or rigged out, he had no choice.

Really could he prosecute a war with all those two faced
individuals around him and his weakness

The nature of GEJ is not for commanding wars.
Every one including foreigners is praising him for conceding defeat
instead of for good governance and he seems happy about that
as if he was made president to concede defeat instead of govern well and let his works speak for him?
Is concedeing defeat his works?

Let him just retire and go.
Any job the UN shall give him shall be for peace, peace, peace, the sign of the weak one, not justice
but just peace, peace, and peace.

We need to learn to appreciate good gestures to encourage other do same. Calling the President names is obviously not necessary and disrespectful.

Let be careful when judging other especially when we do not have all the facts.

ionsman:
Other African leaders did it before him. Enough of this Gej ass-licking.

Bad belle! we need to appreciate his noble gesture so that others can be encouraged to follow. Making statement like your will obviously discourage other due to ridicule. He lost the election but won the hearts of millions of Nigerians who are eternally grateful for his noble gesture of conceding defeat despite the obvious irregularities in the election.

Let pour accolades on him, he deserves it. just imagine what would have happen if otherwise was the case. Let thank God for GEJ.

Nothing new about this approaches. It's not in the planning but implementation and execution.

I will seriously watch for the establishment of the special courts, it's been long coming and a significant step in the fight against corruption if it can be established. One major drawback in the fight against corruption is delay in trail.

We are waiting and watching, hoping for a new dawn.

It's really annoying when comments have to degenerate into insults. Is it necessary to always hit at this man and true be told most will never attain the height he reached in life. Let give respect to those who deserves it because someday it may be our turn.
When you manage people, you will appreciate the challenges involved, not to talk of managing a country of 170million people.
I commend him for that statement. He has done his part the rest is now left to us.

Booyakasha:
Too many people hate on Gej this days for no reason, forgetting nobody in their entire generation can get to where he is... stop hating guys, he is not even your mate.. some nigerians have this mentality of joining the crowd, i even see some Gej supporters betraying him immediately after he lost.. he is a legend, his name remains on the wall... he has made history, he wasn't even a military dictator that is so thirsty for power everytime (GMB), he stepped down and accepted defeat, the media screws with people's head, they make you believe false things, the media can turn a good man to a monster, the media makes you think being a president means you're sitting in a hot seat, the media tell the most lies... well, i wanted GMB to win, but Gej was/is a Legend.

Correct talk. How can one man be the problem of Nigeria and how will his exit now bring prosperity to all. I am waiting to see.

Development is a collective responsibility and everyone be involved. I laugh when i hear gullible Nigerians raising their hopes up the roof not understanding that their circumstance is often their own making not the govt. That no one can change their circumstance no matter how hard the govt tries, if they are not willing to change and make the necessary changes for a better life which may be painful. Even in the US, there are poor people.

ayoolanr:
wow finally Shippopo emerges!!!

Not nice. Let be civil

eazysally:
Must you take on her for standing for the truth? Haba!! Somebody have to stand up for these girls else they would have sweep the issue under the carpet for long, you tink ur guvment was serious about these girls NO!! But this woman kept them on their toes let us give it to her for once. The problem is that when you don't stay in the north east you don't know what these people are going tru and if your relations are not among these chibok girls u can't feel what their people are feeling. God help us they should be found by our gallant army. But we just have to give kudos to this woman.

My friend, you need to learn to read in between the lines. Don't just accept thing on the surface. The issue of boko haram is deep and i see it more as a conspiracy not just as an insurgency. So care must be taking when addressing any issue concerning the insurgency in the North-east. Before the Chibok girls alot of atrocities have been committed and after them more also have been committed. All these crime may not necessary carry equal weight but the Chibok cannot be said to be the worst. The freeing of over 1000 civilians by our military is an indication of the enormous atrocities committed by this group.
Oby is obviously playing to a script. currently, there is a urgent need of humanitarian assistance in the North east can someone help us to rally the international community for assistance to help the survivors of the insurgency. Oby can do well here with her international exposure. Why just chibok? Please don't misunderstand my point, the girls should be found. Every soul is vital and equally important.

Donrissy:
Well, to move to the next level, sacrifices must be made. Pres. Jonathan has made the sacrifice of press freedom of which he became a victim. Now every Tom,.Dick and Harry can say any gibberish. Can this woman come out during obj's tenure to attack the government at any slightest opportunity? oh I forgot she's his mistress!!

May God give us life to see how this woman and others criticize the incoming government where they get it wrong.

May 29 should be fast at hand so that Pres. Jonathan can take his leave since he caused the epileptic power supply, bad roads, etcetera that has bedevilled Nigeria since independence.
Happy Sunday

Thanks for you simple illustration, you hit the nail on the head. We need to open our mind and be fair in our judgement. As a christian, we were admonished not to judge other because our judgement maybe wrong since we are not all-knowing and only God is. I'm not in Jonathan's shoes, i don't know what it takes to be the president of Nigeria on a daily basis or a governor. I have limited knowledge and information on the real happenings in government circles and so also many others who pronounced Jonathan's government a Failure. I don't want to judge anyone but to emphasize the need for us to exercise caution when expressing our views especially in public spaces such as, social media.

I have followed several administrations in this country and I'm shocked the kind of base adjectives used to describe this one and the occupant of the office of the President. In our recent history, I can say with all confident that no administration tolerated dissenting views like that of Jonathan's govt and that to me is a big plus to our democracy. Freedom of speech is very important for the development of any society in this century. When you withhold freedom; ingenuity, innovation and creativity dies. No govt has allowed the inclusiveness in governance in such a small space despite the huge challenges of sabotage and insurgency like this administration; talk about Nollywood, youwin, graduate scholarship,Sure-p, etc. It's sad that no positives of the govt is being celebrated which there are many for us to celebrate like, the fertiliser scam, the agric revolution, the modernization of the military with modern equipment, road constructions, the completion of over 7 new power plants, the refurbishment of our airports, the construction of six new airport terminals, the rehabilitation of railways and construction of modern standard gauge line from Abuja to kaduna(completed) and so many others. Can we in all honesty comparing Jonathan's administration to others and say he has failed and the worst ever? I leave everyone to their conscience to take their stands.

It shall be well with Nigeria when everyone is treated equally, fairly and justly according to the law. Double standard will invariably destroy any nation.

This is a nice write up. i enjoin everyone to read. People like Oby should cover their face in shame, they know better but decided to turn the other side. I really don't why? Please read.

A new narrative has evolved but how this novel dialectics became prevalent beats me. Maybe after reading this someone out there will help me solve the opaque poser.

The new discursive description is this:

You are not a true Northerner unless you think like a programmed android. Once you have a free mind to form your own opinions like Zainab Abba Haliru and Farida Adamu you become tagged a fake Northerner.

The new definition of a Northerner is someone who thinks, reasons, speaks, acts, eats, sleeps, laugh, cry, steals, lie, and generally live the way certain slave-master elders say it should be. Every deviant is not a true Northerner.

You are a true Northerner if you say CAN and President Goodluck Jonathan are the sponsors of Boko Haram. If you fault this reasoning and call it a lie then you are not a true Northerner, yet Shekau is not from Ogbomosho and he is not a Christian.

You are a real Northerner if you call President Jonathan clueless but once you point out that a clueless man could not have performed greatly as he did in certain sector like Rail transportation, Aviation, Road Construction, Agriculture, Education then you are a fake Northerner. I wonder what they will call Mai Gaskiya when he follows up on some of the policies and good work of the clueless one. These guys are the ones who indict Mai Gaskiya with their hypocrisy because anyone who follows on or continue the ideas of a clueless person is brainless. So do not be angry when the other side call our most beloved Mai Gaskiya that.

You are a true Northerner when you believe that Mai Gaskiya has no house, has only one million Naira in his bank account and lives like a poverty stricken peasant. When you point out to these brainwashed Northerners that though Mai Gaskiya is a honest and largely incorruptible man he still owns four duplexes, lives comfortably and send his kids to very good schools they will call you a fake Northerner.

Most of these lot spewing what they don't know have never been to Mai Gaskiya's house. Yesterday evening at Zone 6, Wuse Abuja, Zahra Buhari went for her sister's baby birthday (her sister, husband and kids own a house in Zone 6) in a car convey comprising of a G-wagon, Mercedes 500 AMG 4matic (owned by her cousin Hassan), Peugeot 608 and the back-up DSS truck. Now is that how a peasant's daughter move around?

No doubt about it, General Muhammadu Buhari is among the most honest Nigerians to have held public office but he is not a poor man, actually he is a very rich man though not stupendously so. If you think am wrong then who is paying for Zahra Muhammadu Buhari's tuition and flat in Sussex?

Every Northerner who voted against Mai Gaskiya is not a real Northerner but every Southerner who voted against GEJ is a true Southerner. I wonder how further hypocrisy can go from here?

What the brainwashed mass who think like hypnotized Zombies do not know is that we are the true Northerners. Call me whatever you like you can never takeaway my Arewa roots just like you can never takeaway that of Zainab Abba Haliru or that of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. We must not all think in one direction like fools. Diversity of opinion and thought is the beauty of life. Deal with it.

AhmedMustapha:
Very true.Why should any sane leader surpass Jonathan's record in incompetence

No one is asking for too much but what he promised; improved power supply in a matter of months; 3 million jobs annually; N5,000 unemployment benefit for 25million youth, free and compulsory feeding for primary school pupils; reduced pump price of petrol and fix the refineries; stop importation of refined petroleum products; etc. or are saying all these are false. Nigerians voted based on these promises and it'll be disappointing if they are not fulfilled in his 4 year tenure.

We are not asking for too much but what he actually promised to do. Very sad when we try to defense when our leaders try to rescind their promises and pledges to us.

APC as usual preparing the ground for more excuses when they eventually take power. We can't do this or that because Jonathan emptied the treasury. For those who are ignorant, pls note that these are the usual excuses by any successive administration. Only a novice will believe that the Jonathan that the Apc accused of everything under the sun will leave a full treasury for the incoming government. Jonathan govt is the most corrupt according to Apc, so why are they acting surprise that an empty treasury is what is left and most of them are also leaving their states in similar manner or is there anything new about this allegation. Please don't take it that I'm supporting looting of treasury; it's a capital NO. APC is lying as usual, lying is in their nature and Nigerians will soon come to see it. Neither am I absorbing Jonathan administration of any corrupt charges but their must be equity and fair play. Don't destroy the reputation of a man on the alter of politics.

Apc is full of falsehood and lies. It's a pity that Nigerians bought their lies without questioning. When i hear statement of this kind, i see the reason why i distaste the party.

President Jonathan, you stand tall always. Please ride on and ignore the haters.

we are proud of you and service to your father land. History will be very kind to you but I don't know if same can be said of those who betrayed you and your traducers. God bless you and your family.

kasiem:
We've exhausted all the praises that words can express but we know you deserve more than it, thankfully, those that deceived the world with lies about you are indirectly confessing on your the difficulties you faced and the extent u gallantly fought them. They claimed that we are not having 24hrs power supply cos of ur incompetence but now they are telling us how difficult it will be to achieve such a feat. Even oby that called u a corrupt leader has now confessed that under u a systematic approach towards curbing the corruption got us improve in the fight against corruption. I've always doubted the efficacy of posterity in this rugged and crude world filled with propaganda but now the way things are going in justification of ur service to humanity is giving me a hope. Thanks Mr president for what you've done and the one you will keep doing as a UN envoy

Thank you my brother. The truth is a shining armor, the righteous run to it for cover. It's difficult to perceive the truth in our environment polluted with lies and falsehood. Many were easily carried away by the falsehood and won't listen even when presented with facts. Today, they tell us that they are no miracle workers to deliver on what they promised us and yet some people still stand up to defend them but never gave Jonathan the same chance and opportunity. So sad!! My friend you stand tall above the common place.

dotfam2104:
.....y nt mention these promises dat are tantamout to miracles. Give me d exact quotes of d miracles he said he wud perform. Buhari is so experienced dat he wont make careless promises. He's sm1 dah knws wat it takes to be d president judging by hz track record. I watchd him closely during d campaign, he chose hz words carefully. He neva promised heaven on earth. Tanoids jez want him to make mistakes by raising expectations nd use it against him, forgettn dat wr r all Nigerians. If buhari succeds, its for d benefit of all. Dz pple ar already out criticising every step d guy takes, d guy hznt even gotten to power!! U dont criticise jez for d sake of it. We all shld jez pray buhari succeds, anyfyn dah apns will affect us all.

It's very disappointing when we try to evade the truth. Buhari campaigned in the open and the campaigns promises were publicized in all form of media, TV, radio, social media, print, etc. How come you didn't get to hear of them. For the purpose of this exercise, let pretend you didn't know of any of his promises, I will mention two of the contentious ones:

1. Payment of unemployment benefit of N5,000 to unemployed youth in Nigeria. A figure of over 25million.

2. Compulsory feeding of pupils in Primary schools nation wide.

can you tell me realistically, how he intend to achieve these promises despite falling revenue and other pressing challenges?

it's no fight my brother, hate and insult will never solve our problem. We need to be objective rather than engage ourselves in this unnecessary altercation. I will support the president-elect to success but I'm also a realist and cannot be carried away with such lofty ideas.

themilanway:
Just hear yourself,you sound bias already."APC campaign promises MUST be fulfilled"in 4yrs?

So you really think and believe APC will fulfilled all their campaign promises in 4yrs?

Bros wake up and smell the coffee,already there is alot on ground even before they are sowrn in which will take atleast a yr to mop up before turning their attention to whatever promises they made.

I think you are the one that needs the waking up. Do you know what integrity means? You speak very ignorantly and very baised. Buhari rode to the presidency based on his integrity and we should hold him to his election promises. If we can't hold him to his words then sorry he's no difference from the GEJ, Atiku and other politicians that we criticize. It's double standard if we do otherwise.

I rest my case.
