I saw these two pieces of profound opinions, one by a popular blogger of sorts and a reaction by one of his/ her followers. Think its somewhat worth a debate...

Africa's newest statesman. I think we should really appreciate our president for his sportsmanship and peaceful decision to concede defeat, it shows that he is not a sore loser and places the stability of the nation above his own personal interest. Some people are saying he has no choice that if he tried any nonsense, he'd end up like Gbagbo. Who told you that one? Do you know how long they've issued a warrant of arrest for President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan? It is not that easy to pick up a president, especially the president of Nigeria who is still the Commander-in-Chief of the continent's fourth largest armed forces with millions ready to fight on his side. Take it or leave it, some in Jonathan's cabinet, like Godsday Orubebe and probably even his wife, would have told him not to accept but I guess when he was alone and thought about how history would judge him, he did the right thing. Do you the impact that will have on other African nations? Do you know what that has done to our image globally? That we did not need France, USA and the UN to intervene?
His term still remains two full months and that is more than enough for him to destabilize all of West Africa and lead to a civil war or even break up the federal republic, or can't you see some people already shouting secession? Some people are shouting America will not allow Jonathan to do any nonsense but has America being able to remove Bashar al-Assad? Jonathan can secure the help of a global power like Assad did and he wil hold on to power, even if will mean a war but he did not. He could have orchestrated chaos but he did not. It is never an easy thing to accept defeat, it means swallowing your pride and ego because you believe in the greater good. You all know I am not his best fan but he has earned my lasting respect for that singular action. Yes, he made his mistakes, many would like to see him jailed but is anything greater than peace? We should appreciate him because this is Africa, a continent where incumbents don't surrender without fighting dirty. Once again, thank you Mr. President.


When all the proceed of Fuel Subsidy fraud, Missing $20 Billion, Missing Pension Funds et al has been accounted for. Then I can call him an Hero. Nigerians are too quick to swing opinions and still refuse to see that their leaders must be held accountable for their time in Office to set a good example for future Leaders. GEJ knew it was suicidal for him to either annul the Election or sit tight. He doesn't have such a Power base to effect such move, the African Union & the rest of the World have distanced from him. Foreign troops are already on stand by inside and outside of Nigeria. The Nigerian Military has no force cohesion and risk Mutiny. So, Kofi Annan and the rest only did one thing; help him arrange an exit Strategy. A negotiation which has been ongoing for Months unknowingly to his supporters. Soon, all of you will realise the extent of damage and rot that took place during the last 6 years.

the follower uhat wrote that statement is an ediet. sanusi never provided evidence of the allerged missing money. the man cried wolf, when he knew that there was no wolf. he should be jailed. and some stu*pid nigerians re still asking for a phantom 20b dollars that never existed. mtcheeeewmn

still thinking of what to say...

for fools screaming 20 billion dollars.. they should insist buhari investigates it too. he is in a position to do so.
