Keep flying the flag

Weldone sir

The president is not contesting so he is no more a political magnet

The impact of 2023 election has started

We are watching.

I have a feeling that it is just starting

We really need passionate leaders with knowledge on how to do things

God bless Nigeria

The leaders are leading astray, the people are getting more confused and gullible. How are we going to really come out of this

We are even going backwards as a nation not just government

We are not at all?

Are we?

Are we even stagnant?

If you stay stagnant in this world you will be left behind.

We are being left behind

We need to turn a corner ASAP

Not just as a government but as a nation

We really need to start moving in the right direction as a country

We are not at all as a nation

We really have start moving in the right direction in this country

Which of the western nations did he have great relationship with? - UK, USA, Canada, Germany, France?

Agreed GEJ had a lot of goodwill from Nigerians and the world, just before and immediately after the 2011, but quickly lost it due to allegations of chronic corruption in his administration, his public condoning of corruption (remember stealing is not corruption and Goat some and yams speeches) and the mishandling of the Chibok kidnapping. By the time of the 2015 elections no nation wanted to have anything with GEJ.

He started very well with UK PM and Obama

You saw them when he launched his book. The President of Kenya. It is a common knowledge. The president of Benin use to see Naija as a second home. When last did you see him in Naija

God bless Nigerians

God bless Nigeria

Over 90% of Nigerians will do worse than our leaders in terms of integrity. How is that a resource. It is not by intelligence alone.

How many president can he call his friend. So if you don't build your international reputation as a president. You will not be invited by international bodies to help solve problems

It is not because he is worse than GEJ but his international presence is very low. He is not even seen in ECOWAS

Yes, being the immediate past president is alot but when President Buhari leaves office you will see the difference. GEJ will still have more respect than he will

He enjoys a good relationship on the continent

But his connection on the continent is as solid as a rock

GEJ that was a pariah among world leaders, that no one wanted to deal with when he was president. Even our West African leaders avoided him like a plague, not to even other countries like south Africa, Morocco, Arab nations and even western nations.

GEJ is enjoying his status as a former Nigerian president (the immediate past one for that matter) , just like OBJ enjoyed the same privileges before him. Even Abulsalami enjoyed lots of international invitations decades after handing over.

I totally disagree. Jonathan had a great relationship with the West but lost it towards the end of his tenure
