The massive corruption under Jonathan led to his electoral defeat. Nigerians got tired of his failures and corruption so he should stop the attempt at blaming Obama or anyone else for his defeat.

Nigerians voted during the election and not Obama. Infant, I expected the ineffectual buffoon to have done a serious soul searching by now and come out publicly to apologies for the wasted opportunities and the crimes he committed against the people of Nigeria.

Pointing accusing fingers at others for his failures says so much about his personality. Never again will Nigeria be led by a misguided character like Goodluck Jonathan.
U got my mail?

We always knew the Americans didn't want GEJ after the anti homosexual bill. Clearly even with the genocide presently going on the Americans haven't clearly condemned it. I hope God grants our youths the heart to hear the truth and accept it.

Not everytime read something that justifies GEJ and vilify it.
God bless you. You have said the bitter truth

Like i always say, many nigeria's are educated but not informed. America didnt interfere with nigeria's election, they had no reason to. Jonathan's monumental failure was enough to throw him out!
It's obvious you didn't comprehend OP's post.
Like you are more informed than Jonathan as regards the 2015 elections.

Obviously u are commenting based on ur bias or hatred for Obama. What u don't know is that no world leader in his right mind would support the unstable, clueless and corrupt regime of Jonathan. Its not only Obama that prayed for a change in Nigeria, all world leaders couldn't wait for Jonathan to be booted it. His administration was an eyesore.

And you asked what is wrong with Russia interferinghuh Well, the american constitution is what is wrong. World peace is what is wrong. Security of the international community is what is wrong!
Am sure u r enjoying PMB now. Take it or leave it D north conspired against GEJ.

Blame the world but yourself for your failure.

Obama is not Jesus nor is he God.
Obama did beta than so many US president
It wasn't is era the USA was bombed
He killed Osama
Iran will eventually get it without the US like it or not Netayahu can not do a thing about it.
Under who did Taliban, Alkaeda rose.

You are a very unwise human, Obama minding his country's business is why all of these happened.
young man, say what you know and don't say what you don't know... Obama is a monumental failure to the black race. Bin Laden is alive.... I think you need to be informed... just read about the 15 team 6 US seal that carried out the Osama mission in Iraq

When we say you are clueless we say so with some respect. You almost lapsed into imbecility.

Stupid policies, stupy excuses...

Unemployment has risen from 6% to 26% within two years.. Inflated prices for goods and services...

Economy recession as a result of poor policies..

It is complete shame and the very height of ignorance for PEJ to infer that Obama was making wild allegation of corruption against his government. Sebi Jonathan himself said on CNN that "if there is corruption, America will know". The findings of nowadays iare even telling us we just scratching the surface in terms of investigation of mammoth stealing that happened under his stewardship.

Is Jonathan claiming he was and still is the only person in the world that did not see the level of corruption in his government? He is fooling himself. He is coming up with all this bullshit to whip up sentiment because the heat and attention is now gradually getting to him - the international investigation of Malabu deal and local investigation of Ikoyi $43m.

Oga Jona, the hen is coming home to roost.

Obama directly addressed Nigerians in the days to the election, that is the height of interference.

azimibraun:
And I ask you at what stage did Clinton became Obama's choice? Don't just say it with the Nigerian mentality that makes it look like Obama single handedly picked Clinton as candidate and choice for Presidential race. Obama himself had one of the most gruelling primaries in American history no thanks to Hilary Clinton. Clinton was the choice of the majority of democrats in America. GEJ should just be quite. He supritended over a rich Nigeria and brought it to its owest helb ever. We are not done cleaning his mess. He is just lucky this is Nigeria otherwise he would be investigated thoroughly and brought to book if found guilty. The present government is lenient to him.
U see why u must not give dem Guns. Ipob youths no dey think before dem talk.

Educate yourself. Supporting a shameless hero of theived shouldn't stop you from using your head. Obama left office with one of the highest approval rating in mordern us history. in fact he successfully delivered US from near economic catastrophe while your shameless patron saint of thieves delivered ua to thieves and recession. Please use this...
Of course approval rating doctored by Counterfeit News Network. (CNN)

Re: Jonathan: Obama Made It Clear He Wanted Change Of Govt In Nigeria by aribisala0(m):
Let us assume what he says about Obama is true, he is still responsible for failing to manage the American perception of him and his regime .As he famously said AMERICA WILL KNOW.
Maybe they knew enough to know that he was a waste of time. There is one fact he cannot escape. HE WON THE ELECTION in 2011. There after he surrounded himself with people who persuaded him that incumbency was enough to stay in power and he ignored all the warning signs. All he needed to do was unite the South and target Middle Belt support but he started unnecessary fights with Amaechi, Saraki ,Obasanjo, Dimeji Bankole and so on and chose some arrogant Eboe characters as his Best friends. He forgot that Nigeria is a very tribal place and that he is a minority. It is difficult for a minority to stay in power by rigging. Even Shagari failed.
Ultimately his treatment of the SW cost him dearly. Maybe he did not lose Ondo but the POP structure in the SW was dismantled under his watch. When he came to power All the governors in the SW except Tinubu were PDP. He threw it all away. He was persuaded by his Eboe friends to ignore people like Gbenga Daniel ,Oyinlola, Bankole etc perhaps because they were perceived as threats he did not empower any PDP person in the SW as a counterbalance to Tinubu. People like to credit Tinubu so much but to a large extent Jonathan presented Tinubu an open goal. There are many political veterans in the SW who could have used his support to make Tinubu fear even the loss of Lagos and put him on the defensive.
Not everyone in the SW political structure was for Tinubu but like politicians every where they use money to maintain their structure and Tinubu was the only one with money in the SW. EKITI state/Fayose showed what he could have achieved if he had woken up much earlier He surrounded himself with Maku and Orubebe and greatly underestimated Obasanjos influence with the Americans

I always knew that the full story of what transpired behind the scenes during that election will one day be told. There was grand conspiracy on an international scale against Jonathan. But he just had to go cos he sacrificed a lot on the altar of wanting reelection. He aligned himself with two timing rogues within and outside his government and they stabbed him real good when it got to crunch time. He allowed a lot of looting and sharing forgetting that with the Fulani mafia nothing seems to be enough for them but power.

Forget that story
His "treatment" of the SW was not what failed him...
His failure to convince Nigerians that he deserves a second term failed him.


In the SW, Jonathan pulled at least 42% of each state, and even won Ekiti state.
The net differwnce between tge votes of GEJ and buhari was less than 600,000 votes, and Buhari won the election by over 2.4m votes.

What this means is that even if the SW gave him a net vote of 1m, he would have still lost the election.

So let that sink in your head before you arrogate a false a a political importance to the SW, or even allege that it was the SW that Chased him out.
get that

That's so true.
What goes around comes around.
...and after he failed hopelessly in his bid to have Clinton succeed him, he claimed Russia's involvement. I ask, what's wrong with that? America have over the years sponsored preferred candidates in government all over the world. Obama's claim is a slap on America, however very good in my opinion. Its keeps the balance of power in the international polity. Games theory 101.
Not only claimed Russians, he tried to introduced the failed antic of the idiotic liberals in USA by alluding to a misnomer called Race. When the foolish dig and non-existence Russian involvement yielded no water and his involving in wiretapping USA citizens seemed to gather steam, the dumbass liberal media houses in USA stopped talking about Russia and the USA presidential election. One of the major drawbacks among Africans is the stupid idea that USA and European liberals like them. The worse person on earth is a pretender.

What is this one sayinghuh huh

LOL

And that guy whom you quoted talking about balance of power grin grin

Sorry to say, the power still tilts toward the western hegemony and their allies world over

Russia is not shit
With the sanctions on their neck, their currency becoming tissue paper and their country stuck in Syria, let us see how long Russia last before crumbling.

You pro Russians were talking about trump working with Putin or relaxing the sanctions on his neck...

How far with that grin grin

Trump fired into Syria and damaged the air base of his puppet, and all Putin could do was to cry like a bitch

Forget the bravado of Russia, the west still got them cornered

As for North Korea......

That guy is a goner, and he knows it, and neither China not Russia will save him cheesy cheesy

Trump was briefing the congress on his plans earlier today, and if what is cooking is served, that regime is gone


It's sad to say, but for that guy that you quoted, the balance of power is still tilted much in the favour of the western hegemony, and whoever gets in their way ends up crushed.
