Jonathan stuns the World with 2025 Sunhak Peace Prize win

Former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has made history as the winner of the 2025 Founder’s Sunhak Peace Award, a prestigious recognition by the Sunhak Peace Prize Foundation in Seoul, South Korea.

With this win, Jonathan becomes the first African leader and only the third recipient of the Founder’s Prize, following in the footsteps of former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen.

The Sunhak Peace Prize Committee lauded Jonathan’s relentless peace efforts, highlighting his pro-democracy initiatives and mediation roles across Africa. According to the committee:

“Dr. Jonathan is being honoured for his unwavering commitment to fostering peace and democracy, particularly through his leadership in the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation (GJF), the West African Elders Forum (WAEF), and the International Summit Council for Peace (ISCP).”

The award ceremony, set to take place in Seoul on April 11, 2025, will celebrate Jonathan and other distinguished laureates for their contributions to global stability and human development.

The Founder’s Sunhak Peace Award is one of two categories in the biennial Sunhak Peace Prize, which honours individuals and organisations making significant contributions to world peace, sustainable development, and conflict resolution.

Past winners of the main Sunhak Peace Prize include Senegal’s former President Macky Sall, AfDB President Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, and Dame Sarah Gilbert, co-developer of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Jonathan will receive his award alongside three other 2025 laureates: Patrick Awuah Jr., Founder & President, Ashesi University, Ghana; Hugh Evans, Co-founder & CEO, Global Citizen and Wanjira Mathai, Regional Director for Africa, World Resources Institute

Founder of the Sunhak Peace Prize, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, described the honourees as beacons of hope in a world plagued by conflict and division]/b].

“[b]The lives of these laureates are a testament to the power of concrete action and cultural transformation in achieving peace,” she stated.

Since its inception in 2015, the Sunhak Peace Prize has celebrated visionaries dedicated to human rights, conflict resolution, and environmental conservation—values Jonathan has embodied in his diplomatic and humanitarian efforts.

Congratulations to him.

But he should have rigged the 2015 elections and won it, but he allowed these APC bandits to come into power and we are all suffering for it.

The best thing that would have happened to Nigeria but just like in the bible, Nigerians decide to choose barabbas over Jesus christ. Now everybody is suffering it, may God forgive all of u for u don't know what u are doing.

Maybe he's weak, maybe he's not but at least he seems to be a better human than the mongrel APC foster on Nigerians.

Funny enough, time keeps playing it cards that Nigerians rarely learn from history they'd gladly repeat the same mistakes and expect miracles.

Tinubu is greeting though.

In greedy Nigerian politician's voices and that of their stewpid supporters "Na Award we go chop"? May God continue to bless and preserve you good ambassador of peace. Since they grabbed the power from you, the country called NIGERIA has never remained the same. Baboons and monkeys has been soaked in blood as they threatened.

Good news.
Now let the rumors begin

The TRUTH About Honour:
-Congratulations 👏 to him( Dr GEJ)-for he showed that Peace Class ,when he handed over Peacefully - to Buhari.
But that does not make him the best in our midst during his era .
He should have put people like El-Rufai( shouting Insecurity then), Sanusi( Insubordination),etc, during his Era-in the gutter and achieve so much for Nigerian Youths and Masses,as he was just too Weak.:
e.g how can Mrs Dezani ( from same Zone ) got away -With So Much Loots,without any check?
How can Such Amounts of Money 💰 - pass through a Presidency - Without Check and Balance - as to Why those Loots were going Outside Nigeria? So What is called Corruption then?
-Same manners with Buhari Era- e.g the Woman-Hajia of Poverty Alieviation Ministry ,
- the Serika Dickson of Sir Nigeria AIR-that has gone morribond ,
-the Accountant General- Idris and Deputy - all Sharing - NBILLIONS ( 1.9Billion)- even as they were retiring?
- Emiefiele - has alledgely stolen NTrillions in Ways and Means,+ Billions in Anchor 🔱 Borrowers Farmers Money - yet Una de shout- No Food.
Do you think 🤔, govt is just about Printing Money 🤑 anyhow?
•NIGERIANS -loves to Celebrate 🥳 Incompetence - through -Tribal,Ethnic and Religious Support.
•What Particular Things has your Nigerian leader ( s) done- that warrants Celebration ?
Since 1960- Independence-
•No Regular Lights 🚨
•No Good Health Care Delivery - Hospital - as your leaders regularly Jet Outside to London, Europe, Israel, USA,etc- to treat themselves and their Family- - with Nigeria FOREX - Money 💰. Do you know the Numbers Dying because there is No Balanced Diet- for them,on Daily Basis?
- No Good Roads,in Many States but People Are Suffering and Struggling -with limited Life- Span,while Governors, National Assembly Members,etc( including Past Ones) are Smiling to the Banks and going and Changing Dollars- for themselves?
•It Is Your Leaders - Collective -InActions, COMPROMISED and CORRUPTION- that have made Nigerian State to be in limbo Today.
-KISS 😘 The TRUTH!

Maybe you didn't read the screenshot you attached before you made your comment.

He said the choice is for Nigerians to make.

What choice did you make?

If you voted against him, why should he now put his neck on the line for you?
