There was this argument before on whether President Goodluck Jonathan was actually the one responding to people's comments on his facebook profile. The way the President continued to respond convinced many that he was actually reading people's comments. But now a blunder has occurred on the Jonathan facebook, which has exposed the fact that someone else is 'running things" on his profile.

In the latest post on Thursday 29th September, 2011, the President used his facebook to 'advertise' one of his advisers, Oronto Douglas, in a manner that was unethical for a President. Read the post as follows:
A great lover of Nigeria, her people and her environment, I welcome a patriot, Oronto Douglas, to facebook. GEJ

Then he goes on to advertise Oronto Douglas like this, at least just the excerpts:

Oronto Douglas; is a leading human rights attorney in Nigeria, and served as one of the lawyers on the defense team for the Ogoni leader Ken Saro Wiwa, who was executed by Nigeria's military rulers in 1995. Douglas co- founded Africa's foremost environmental movement, the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria and has served in the board of several non profit organizations within,  and outside Nigeria. Though he has been arrested and tortured by successive military regimes, he continues to work for and speak out on issues of social justice in a corporate- military state. He was the first Niger Delta activist to be hosted by a serving American President – he presented the Niger-Delta struggle at the White House to President Bill Clinton. The point is a President would not use his profile to advertise his surbordinate, so that post possibly was done by Oronto himself or someone under his control. So is the facebook real?
