Glycosunde:

What is your APC leaders like Tinubu? Do you think I give a hoot about PDP or APC. I'm a Nigerian and like I said Jonathan is part of Nigeria problems just like Tinubu, Buhari and others

Antoeni:
Jonathan is Just too Calm

zeusdgrt:

Nop they made u think he was the problem.

Firstvaxer:
Gej is a man of peace, no doubt. We need peace urgently in this Country right now

floss:

GEJ was not the right person to lead Nigeria, no form of disrespect .. he is a good man, but there is what we call sequence, America is enjoying today what older generation fought for...what Nigeria need at the moment for a president is a radical, strong will, Smart, rational and no nonsense kind of leader that is ready to go to jail if found wanting, he will lay the foundation for our democracy so that every incoming leaders will build on it,.... GEJ will now be the perfect match for a future leader.....for christians; John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus Christ (Sequence)...I don't think Nigerians were wrong voting Buhari in 2015, this was what they were looking for... Buhari's CV pointed him towards being the John the Baptist needed to prepare the way for our democracy but seems not all that glitters is diamond.... the person that will lay that foundation is not a politician, let's stop voting in politicians they are the reason Nigeria is the way it is....Vote for a leader, look around you, people with good leadership qualities most times don't have any portfolio or office, they are volunteers that help ensure that things run smoothly...those are the people that will lay the foundation stone for our democracy....we have tried politicians for more than 20yrs, nothing to show for it.

Glycosunde:

Nobody made me believe he was d problem bcus he is part of the problem. When d road to Otuoke his home land is still not motorable, then what can he do. If not for his cluelessness, Buhari won't have been d president. Ur enemies will always use ur weakness to their advantage.

zeusdgrt:

Oga jonathan was not myopic like u or buhari he never worked based on tribalism or regional sentiment,he was busy trying so hard to please all regions, stretching his arms to all that's why they betrayed him.so stop thinking myopic cz of the road network to his village

ZendayaColeman:
Bubus uselessness turned GEJ to a hero

FastLane25:
abegi... why is he advising politicians.. Oga u no different from them during your time...

Deadlytruth:
He tried hard to please only Northerners and that was why he divided the South which all stood with him in 2011. He sacrificed even the interest of his own SS Region to please the North because he has his eyes on their phantom huge voting population against 2015

Tiwatopebabe:
Truth be told, democracy is doomed. It has failed and it has even become a jinx for the African continent. What this system needs is a secession. And an adaptation of a new form of government. Until then, election may turn out to be war, a bloody war because why one man from a tribe out of hundreds of tribe in Nigeria will put his tribe over everyone, ask them to misbehave in any way then come back to quote democracy is beyond me.

zeusdgrt:

The south had measures and mechanism put in place by him for growth hence NDDC and the rest,he was simply trying to bring every region to development not trying to please.

Deadlytruth:

First and foremost it wasn't him that established NDDC as you would have us believe. Rather, NDDC was set up as far back as 2000 by the Obasanjo administration and that was a time when Jonathan was still a very obscure deputy governor of Bayelsa State.
Below is the inexhaustive list of the ways he tried to please the North at the expense of the South. I wish you read through and explain how such actions, inactions and choices of his amounted to attempts to bring development to every region:

1. At a time it was reasonably being suspected that the Northern elite was behind the insurgency ravaging the country and spreading down South, Jonathan sacked Andrew Owoye (His own fellow Southerner and Bayelsa kinsman for that matter as National Security Adviser) and replaced him with Dasuki a core member of the Northern Oligarchy. Could you kindly explain how that passed for an attempt to bring development to all regions? If anything, that decision alone became the catalyst that rose insecurity to the cancerous level we battle with today.

2. After reluctantly conceding to midwife the 2014 confab, he openly declared that to him personally, Nigeria's problem has nothing to do with the structure but with corruption which once killed, every other thing would miraculously begin to fall into place. Where in the world has corruption been successfully killed and buried if one may even ask? Please tell us which, between the North and South is notorious for that line of argument if you think he wasn't trying to please the North at the expense of genuine national interest.

3. On being appointed as National Population Commission Chairman in 2014 or so, Festus Odimegwu publicly spoke a very bitter but very much needed truth by declaring that all censuses ever conducted in Nigeria were fraudulent and the figures inflated in both North and South with the objective of making a big catch in federal allocation, and then promised to end that trend in his time by introduction of digital documentation of bio data. Immediately, Governor Kwankwaso of Kano State, reeling from guilty conscience despite Odimegwu accused both the North and South of the menace of inflation of census figures, made a public speech in which he accused Odimegwu of being under the influence of alcohol having only worked in Breweries all his life. Then Kwankwaso proceeded to Ask Rock to mount pressure on Jonathan to sack Odimegwu and replace him with a pliable Northerner which Jonathan didn't waste a second doing thinking that such was an opportunity to connect himself to the sympathy of Kano State's phantom huge voter population ahead of 2015. Could you kindly explain how that amounted to an attempt to bring development to every region?

4. On the opening day of the 2014 confab, Jonathan went to the venue and in his opening speech advised the delegates to use 75% as basis for consensus on any issue. Now, every educated person knows that even the universal 66.7% (i.e. ⅔ majority) is very difficult to secure in most democratic bargains, so what reason would a PhD holder president have for proposing 75% if not to demonstrate to the Northerners some assurance that he had an initio deliberately programmed the confab to fundamentally fail so as to get their sympathy ahead of 2015 election?
Can you explain how his 75% proposal wasn't meant to rather kill the ultimate objective of the confab which was all about putting in place the right kind of structure that would have genuinely brought development to every region? Please recall that when the likes of Idris Kutigi later tried to suggest in one of the sittings of the delegates that the normal democratic ⅔ majority be stuck to as basis for consensus, the core Northern delegates fumed and staged a walkout insisting that the president who midwifed the confab had himself dictated the consensus percentage and must be stuck to. Pray tell me if they would have insisted on sticking to Jonathan's proposal had he suggested say 30% as basis for consensus. And with all these you still believed that Jonathan wasn't trying to please the core North ahead of 2015 but trying to bring development to every region?


5. When the confab had reached an advanced stage, Jonathan again came out to the public and declared that at the completion of the confab he would forward the report to the National Assembly statutorily dominated by Northern representatives for further action. Didn't common sense rather dictate that he sent the report to the masses who asked for the confab in the first instance on account of the fact that it had become obvious that the National Assembly wasn't really interested in anything other than approving offensive allowances for themselves to buy latest model cars and other anti-people concerns? So in exactly which region's developmental interest was Jonathan going to send that report to the National Assembly if not to just a way of proving to the resistant North that he didn't really mean to have the recommendations implemented.

6. Then I guess his building of Almajiri schools in the North when the natives of the riverine areas of his own SS were living in coastal shanties and shades of trees had become their classrooms was an attempt to bring development to every region also?

7. During his campaign in Portharcourt Stadium in the build up to the 2015 election, Jonathan with his own mouth confessed that he purposely denied the SS region of projects because he didn't want to be perceived as a regional bigot. But then by so doing he was actually bigoted against his own people hence still a bigot all the same.

I can go on and on citing countless examples of how Jonathan failed to learn from history that the North is not pleased by any developmental projects or gesture from a Southerner in power.

In summary, Jonathan was massively voted out of power by those he thought he wanted to please, and that served him right.

zeusdgrt:

The basic assertion that jonathan neglected his own to appease the north is far from the truth,when Yar adua was in power the same assertion was pushed by the northerners after militants were given packages to surrender their arms for peace and development.Now jonathan stepping into the shoes of same assertion wanted a place for all where developmental strides and grow simultaneously hence he reformed the NDDC under him to carry massive project as well he also developed the north,the main reason he was voted out was for tribalism by the north and greediness by the west and few south but they had to find a bases to discredit his tenure hence the media,boko haram etc was effected even protest that the lifeless one is against today was undertaken by him.Jonathan never neglected his people the sabotaged his efforts to make it seem so.Even confab was for the same reason of simultaneous growth in all regions.
