Jonathan Goodluck was tagged clueless. He surrounded himself with the best and capable hands he could find. This is a rundown of some of the capable hands and their current positions after government. Diezani Allison Maduekwe: Former Petroleum Minister ---now---President of OPEC. Akin Adesina: Former Agriculture Minister ---now--- President of the African Development Bank. Arunma Otteh: Former Director General SEC --- now---Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank. It is not a coincidence that they have been appointed or voted into this positions. I am waiting to hear Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's new appointment. Not all were saints, some were certainly corrupt but some were brilliant minds who worked assiduously for this country. He left Obama and his double speak and went to Putin. Putin went as far as instructing a Russian bank to lend us the money for arms purchases. Buhari needs to swallow his pride and call Jonathan for advice. He was not the best president but he was better than all those that preceded him. Buhari will NOT make any headway in this war against Boko haram. The only idea he thought he could bring in was moving the command and control of the military to Borno State. Totally unnecessary. In this age of internet, fibreoptics and broadband, advanced telecommunications, satelites and drones your military command does NOT have to move to an Area of Operations. Afterall an aircraft carrier (as formidable as an entire army battalion ) can anchor in the atlantic ocean and lay siege to a country. America did not move its Pentagon Command and Control to Iraq and Afghanistan. All the years of criticizing Jonathan, that was the only strategy he could think of. The trips to Chad and Cameroun are in continuance of what Jonathan had already started. I remember the furore over the plane found with millions of dollars going to buy arms from the black market in South Africa. They said it was corruption and embezzlement. This man was making the most of a crazy situation but he was called all sorts of names.Now Buhari has got the first taste of an international diplomatic upper cut. Since he announced that the G8 said he should bring his shopping list, this is almost 2 months. No new military pacts, alliances or training packages have been announced. I weep for Nigeria. The next 4 years are going to be filled with perpetual backward motion. By: Mike Odeholonta

Abeg who get red oil? Op? Anybody?

then you should've ignored the thread as soon as you saw the headline.

@op, made very strong points but I still insist that the issue of bokoharam will end because it's a Nigerian thing. The brains behind it are presently looking for a less dramatic way to end it. One thing they are afraid of is that, some persons have made up their minds to look into this bokoharam issue, anytime it ends.

GEJ lacks idea and ability to differentiate between stealing and corruption. That's all !!!

I hear there is an official photographer to the President, yet no official economic adviser? I leave you to make your own conclusions…

.If you’re going to the USA, there are two questions you should prepare for.Boko Haram and Niger Delta..he was asked both, he failed both.

GMB said chibok girls were kidnapped from their hotel room.

Same trip..
GMB calls his party ANPC
GMB says his is not in command of his memory
GMB divides Nigeria into 5 & 97%
Why not stay back home?

GEJ built libraries in FGGC Umuahia & Owerri

If GMB likes let him #NoWorkFor5%, Our girls will still go to school and become World Bank VP.

: What informed the delay in appointing cabinet for this administration?
APC Wailing Wailer: Jonathan is not coming back. Deal with it!

GEJ built 9 Universities in North,

If GMB likes let him not build a crèche in SE, IMO will still have highest JAMB enrollment
#NoWorkFor5%

GEJ came and completed Egbema/Alaoji power stations,
If GMB likes let him demolish them, Nnewi will still produce cars #NoWorkFor5%

The SE has been very familiar with Marginalisation so GMB is not introducing anything new.

It won't stop Anambra from leading in SSCE.

Your post suggests you have read it already.

Jonathan was and is in no way clueless. A president is as good as his team. What we had with the Jonathan administration was perhaps the best team ever put together in an African government. From top to bottom excluding a few were brilliant technocrats. The problem is that due to the insurmountable problems that plague our nation, we have been unable to come up with a good yardstick for brilliant governance. We all believe that the president does everything and so all credit and blame is credited to him. While in fact a President's performance is the sum total of all the branches of government. I would recommend using two indices for scoring a government.
1. Human capital index(HDI)
2. Purchasing power parity
Both of this indices showed a favourable improvement in governance in the last 4years. Anyone who believes the last 4years were a flop need ride a time machine back to 2010 and spot the clear difference. GEJ was a success, period.

inferiority complex is one of major problem facing Nigerian I hate advance slavery must we approach US for assistance? I hate Africans

Rome was not built in a day, Formal president Goodluck Jonathan started building Nigeria but they prefer one with the magic wand. One with the magic wand already says he doesn't have it. And did we hear that the comatose Kano -Port Harcourt rail line is back to life? And so many other achievements... Again we say Goodluck Jonathan - Legend. Go check out the history of polio in Nigeria and you will understand how significant this achievement is.

GMB bemoaned the effect of Leahy's Law in his Speech and got US angry by so doing. Back home, he is saying he didn't know when he read it.

This same man said West Germany. This same man said ANPC. Today, He doesn't know when he read his own speech on Leahy's law.
Wetin remain?

This is the first time a President will embark on such a crucial visit to US and return with a baggage of gaffes, polarization and insults
