And his son has the effrontery to come preach zoning for us while his father can't even practice that in his enclave, WE ARE WAITING FOR HIM AT THE POLLS

GJE has never looked as a smart man. He looks dull, talk dull, walk dull and steal dull.

GEJ is surely the most popular candidate in the race 4 now, in my own opinion though. People will always seek for change, a shift if u like. GEJ represents that shift. "There comes a tide in the event of men atimes" [I think the quote belongs to Julius Ceasar]. Today, GEJ is the tide.

The issue here is that you as his ardent supporter can do better than u r doing nw to give him a resounding winning. I think telling people who need to be convinced to go and use acid to soak garri is unhelpful as can be seen here on this thread : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-516539.0.html

na_so seems to be listening to u, so u can advise him better

Ok i'm back, just finish reading the crap some people post here, to all those who who bash Jonathan i just feel like asking these questions
1. Name your canditates ?
2. Have any of you voted before, if you have who did you vote for ? that's especially to JANUS

Jonathan was governor of bayelsa for less than a year, He went about completing projects that were embarked by the administration of ALAMS, He made it clear that he was not gonna embark on any new project because the time frame was short, the bayelsa housing project at the express road now sanni abacha express road was finished, the bayelsa 5 star hotel was also embarked by him and some of the roads started by Alamiesigha too was completed by him, remember the time frame was too short for him so embarking on new projects was not a novel idea but completion of existing projects was his priority, for those bashing him with the corruption toga, i guess most of you read it in the papers, and we all believe the EFCC headed by Ribadu was the one that released this story, so it means if any one has the authority to talk about this issue its the EFCC headed by Ribadu not even Farida, now we have a situation where Ribadu himself has come to disclaim this story not only that terming it as all falsehood so why are people still talking about Jonathan being corrupt when Ribadu himself has come to refute this claim do we know better than Ribadu, the posters making such claims now, where they part of the investigative team ?, c'mon i understand "Its one hundred times easier to criticize than to create" so i can forgive you for your criticism but it should be based on fairness and good judgement, It's not yet uhuru with Jonathan there but his candidacy is far better than anything the North has placed on the table so far and would serve the needs of the common man than any of the aspirants out there now, you know why because Nigerians have seen this old recycled idiots before, of all the lot Jonathan appeals more to the common man and his desire for a better Nigeria far outweighs that of any of the aspirants right now, We all have our views and our preferences but before you go bashing him, PLEASE name your preferred choice lets also know, "[size=25pt]AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WOULD VOTE FOR JONATHAN[/size]" case closed

IBB is not going to give up after the primaries. He and Atiku are already battling to take over ANPP. If they don't succeed, as Houvest says, they have already threatened serious mayhem that will shake the unity of the country. Don't be decieved, it will not end with the PDP primaries.

houvest:
I have no iota of doubt that GEJ will win the PDP primaries but I fear that a serious North South rift will happen after that as IBB and co will do every thing to whip up Northern sentiments to win the election but will fail. They will now try and make Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ via riots,etc. I hope GEJ knows this is what Jallo means by options ABC and should try now to plan now his own options ABCD, ie A/ win the primaries B/ win the peace in PDP, C/ win the elections D/ win the peace in Nigeria. Plans for war or fighting should be a distant last resort by GEJ. I believe involving all in a dialogue in plans BCD must be on the table. I dont trhink anybody wants war. Talking and making concessions to massage hurt egos are all parts of political ways to solve national problems. Nigeria certainly will not survive another war unless both GEJ and Ibb want that break up secretly.

Comparing Goodluck to Obama is a lack of understanding or appreciation of what makes Obama special.

Obama in his speeches makes very intellectual arguments rich in History, logic and common sense. His mastery of tenses and diction is also second to none. So please let us judge Goodluck by his standards. Don't compare him to Obama because his level no reach at all!!!!!!!!!

Goodluck did not even provide a single argument for why anything should be done. For over two years now there has been a debate about whether we should have Sovereign Wealth Fund or Excess Crude Account. Now Goodluck Jonathan has finally developed balls to back the idea. In his speech he promised to set aside N1b for the creation of Sovereign Wealth Fund but failed to say why he has come to that conclusion or what informs that decision and folks are going, what a speech and comparing him to Obama.

What if the NASS decides to oppose the Sovereign wealth fund. What if Governors are able to mobilise support in NASS to kick against it? Is it not by providing a superior argument to the Nigerian people that you can somehow win the moral argument and get the NASS to do the right thing?

Let GEJ enjoy his moment, in the next coming days we will take this speech apart and take it to the cleaners.

I AM SIMPLY NOT IMPRESSED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mistakay:
The presence of Niger State Gov. today only confirms one thing.Its a gathering of Goodluck's enemies.May he see the light and abandon this mission Amen!

krendo:
Today is the begining of the end for someone's political career

Mark my words, folks just attended Jonathan's political funeral in advance.

chuks01:
goodluck looks scared and the governors i see here most of them are yet to decide which candidate to vote.sincerely the governors that look sincere to support him are benue,kaduna,abia and enugu for now, i will update later, this game is getting interesting, i think some of the governors are just here for attendance sake.

Retards like the guy above T@meD0 are the problem Africa as a whole has today, I agree we fielded over aged players but dont tell me we where the only ones, in all honesty the only team that had a 19 yr old gal in this competition would have to be the hosts, It was quite glaring that those korean "girls" where above 19 or 20, We shouldnt just believe anything a caucasian or asian tells you without consulting your brain,that would just make you a RETARD!!!

Kx:
Almost all the Korean girls are in high school at age 14, 15 etc.
Nigerian girls are the "youngest" at 14, 15 16 etc and they are all playing pro in Pelican Stars, Delta Queens etc,
Does this mean nigerian girls no longer attend secondary school?
If they do, at what age did they leave sec school?
