But can l also talk about Professor Ayade of Calabar

NEWACADEMY:
OBJ is retiring already. His connections are becoming outdated. I dont think there is any other leader who will command the respect of the international community like GEJ in Nigeria for now.

GEJ that was a pariah among world leaders, that no one wanted to deal with when he was president. Even our West African leaders avoided him like a plague, not to even other countries like south Africa, Morocco, Arab nations and even western nations.

GEJ is enjoying his status as a former Nigerian president (the immediate past one for that matter) , just like OBJ enjoyed the same privileges before him. Even Abulsalami enjoyed lots of international invitations decades after handing over.

That guy is in a class of his own

I totally disagree. Jonathan had a great relationship with the West but lost it towards the end of his tenure

But his connection on the continent is as solid as a rock

He enjoys a good relationship on the continent

Yes, being the immediate past president is alot but when President Buhari leaves office you will see the difference. GEJ will still have more respect than he will

It is not because he is worse than GEJ but his international presence is very low. He is not even seen in ECOWAS

How many president can he call his friend. So if you don't build your international reputation as a president. You will not be invited by international bodies to help solve problems

NEWACADEMY:

Which of the western nations did he have great relationship with? - UK, USA, Canada, Germany, France?

Agreed GEJ had a lot of goodwill from Nigerians and the world, just before and immediately after the 2011, but quickly lost it due to allegations of chronic corruption in his administration, his public condoning of corruption (remember stealing is not corruption and Goat some and yams speeches) and the mishandling of the Chibok kidnapping. By the time of the 2015 elections no nation wanted to have anything with GEJ.

NEWACADEMY:

Who are his personal friends on the continent?

You saw them when he launched his book. The President of Kenya. It is a common knowledge. The president of Benin use to see Naija as a second home. When last did you see him in Naija

NEWACADEMY:
If you say so

My brother it's bcs we both know this country very well from the seat of power to the ordinary poverty stricken man on the street, 95% of Nigerians are wicked and will not allow anything good to happen to this country. what you said is good but we both know that can't happen in this country. once that happens, they will kill the person just like thiefnibu did to one prominent Yoruba Lagosian who contested election at the return of democracy in 1999. the man had a well known history of taking care of Lagos and doing the right thing always and people were ready to vote him. but overnight, thiefnibu's thugs assassinated him and thiefnibu stole power overnight from afenifere.

We really need to start moving in the right direction as a country

God bless Nigeria

We really need passionate leaders with knowledge on how to do things

Weldone sir

Keep flying the flag

God must punish Buharis decendants

The problem GEJ had was:

1. He was too human
2. He forgot that he was a president of Nigeria where majority of the citizenry didn't like good things.
3. The Yorubas media collaborated with Obama government to paint his government black.

The best thing to do when the person you want to help refuses, is to just keep your cool. Enjoy yourself sir.

Interesting

He should find solution oo

Good job sir

African leaders must be better

How do people wake up in the morning and live when they know that people are dying because of their negligence

They see themselves as semi gods

DEmi gods even

It is only in Africa that a leader cant hold his umbrella

Our electoral system has to be fixed
