Op you have the right not to agree with her. What u think about her does not change the fact that most of the pple calling gej a hero do so based squarely on sentiments.
For your to get the gist of her discuss you have to disabuse your mind. Lets wait for the report on gej's administration after may29 to see how much of a hero he realy is.
For me gej does not fit in the mould of a hero. His policies and actioons leading to the general elections were very unpopular. Even in the face of defeat he was still desperate and hungry. He neve wanted to leave. Forget about what you see on the surface.
All na wash!

I have been in Nigeria for quite a while and it beats me how a people can be so insensitive, attention seeking and never know when to give up.

I have always tried to stay away from political discus especially when it is difficult to be objective or expect that the other party tries to be, no matter how little.

Oby Ezekwesili is one woman who has had her chance to build Nigeria, how much she was able to impact on the polity is a topic for another day.

She obviously, like most of us, wanted to hold on and remain in the political space and especially considering the fact that her party was still in power. But Uncle Joe wouldn't have any of that and that explains her fighting from the other side (very understandable)

She had done her best in trying to ridicule the Presidency especially using her bring back our girls campaign. Not my business.

She had openly identified with the opposition. Understandable

But she doesn't have the right to choose whom our heroes are.

Our lives are not lived on the TV and might not worth anything to her other than a veiled advocacy which of course would be belated. So we choose our hero who made sure nothing happened to us.

After the conduct of the Presidential Elections, a lot of us, Corp Members, Market women, Christians living in the north (even where they are majority) slept with our eyes open, looked back with every step thrown, left our known residents, closed down our businesses, avoided a lot of places, vowed not to be part of of the elections anymore due to the obvious danger should GEJ do what Oby and those she worked for do just to win an election.

Our lives were in danger, our investments stood the risk of being torched by irate un enlightened followers who do not understand. How a democracy works.

But this man decided not to let all these happen, he didn't use the tools at his disposal to ensure he remains there and when he lost, he didn't cry on national TV wiping up sentiments and threatening to bring down the heavens, he didn't wait for people to act first and cause mayhem which off course would have been replied, he acted first.

He conceded defeat and on time, no protests that would have led to the loss of lives, all the fears were allayed and the known violence that would have followed if the result turned the other way averted.

So GEJ is my hero, and that of a thousand folks whose being and well-being were threatened.
He doesn't have to be yours given that you were made irrelevant in his government, he doesn't have to be yours since your loyalty unquestionably lies the other way, he just doesn't have to be your hero but don't tell us whom our hero should be.

You people are giving her the attention she wants

That's what happens when an old woman is addicted to twitter. And she is filled with hate too.

GEJ is no hero. Period! So If them beat you for race you go tif the medal abi? Nigerians have been benighted from staying too long in darkness that they don't know what it is to live under a clean system. Little wonder politicians still use petty things as tarring a road to campaign.

Those saying "A people" is wrong,should just swallow their pride and learn;it wouldn't hurt you guys one bit. A people is usually used in addressing a community,society or group of people. An example of such,is when I say "the way and life of a people,is shaped by their beliefs and traditions". This simply refers to a community or an ethnic group or a country,etc.
You guys should broaden your horizons rather than defend what you're ignorant about.

abduljabbar4:

Kindly cancel that 'A' and the title will be okay

Scrypt:


Wait, both of us went for a quiz, I am defending champion, then you beat me during the quiz. What is the next step to take? Argue with the umpire and refuse to give back the cup or relinquish my title to avoid disgrace?

The only thing I can say here is that GEJ was magnanimous in defeat. Let us not be overly sentimental over the issue, sooner or later GEJ would have said the same congratulations. Unless he is a bad loser.

vislabraye:


May be you have forgotten last election when he won very well. Did the opposition congratulate him?

[b] The religious cleansing and wanton bloodshed occuring in C.A.R is a result of power tussle btw two contenders from different religions and armed groups.........The ethnic cleansing,maas graves,child soldiering and steady destruction of a young oil rich republic South Sudan is a call to observe the activities of rival armed groups loyal to Salva kir and his estranged deputy,two major stakeholders struggling for supremacy even close to home is the division and almost descension (thanks to Dider Drogba and Ivory Coast world cup 2006 team) Civil War of Ivory Coast with Abidjan and Yamasoukkro both capitals of each division loyal to Gbagbo and Quattara both also contenders in their election....Nigeria currently sits on material far beyond inflammable than those already burning countries.Take a look^^^ amongst the bloody consequences of "sit tight' leaders,see the common denominator we have with these unfortunate peoples and their dead then Thank GOD for Nigeria and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan....Oby can shove her hypocrisy,jealousy and witchunt into her wig PANTS.[/b]
