Monogamy:
Leader of the Bring Back Our Girls group and former minister of education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, has said that President Goodluck Jonathan does not deserve the hero tittle for accepting defeat in the just concluded presidential poll.

DAILY POST reports Jonathan, before the INEC chairman could announce the final result of last Saturday’s presidential election, had called General Buhari to congratulate him for winning the election.

Following his decision, many Nigerians have been praising the president for saving the entire nation from disaster.

However, Ezekwesili says if only Nigerians knew the extent of damage President Jonathan has done to Nigeria, they won’t hero worship him.

She took to her Twitter page on Thursday, to air her views on the recently held presidential election.

She tweeted: “When a review of President Jonathan’s administration is done, we’ll realize how much damage sycophancy did to governance. Example? Chibok Girls,” she wrote.

“A leader must be without an inordinate desire to be serenaded with ‘good news’ or their team will never let them know the true state of affairs.

“An environment that rewards sycophancy encourages team to withhold accurate ‘bad’ news (problems) from the leader while serving up ‘good news’.

” When a leader makes hero worshiping costly to those who engage in it, he/she deprives the ‘sellers’ market to set the ‘Mediocrity Benchmark.’

“A critical success factor in governance is for the leader to both in word and deed convey a culture that abhors sycophancy. No hero worshiping.”

An hero is someone who ran into a burning building to rescue someone in danger; a clueless guy who had 6yrs to prove that he is really a goodluck but turned out to be an absolute failure, got beat badddddd, I mean got his ass handed to him at the poll and accepted his fate is not a hero.

Thesame jobless morons that have been shouting GEJ till 2019 now have another agenda to start painting that disappointment with a saint brush, it ain't gonna happen. We didn't partake in your expired rice, so if you are losing your mind already, don't worry Buhari will be fixing the health section, you'll be adequately catered for.

Don't try to disclaim this...don't try it at all,except you've not been following news in Nigeria.
Buhari did say it.

dustmalik:
I'm inclined to agree with her.

Acidosis:
buahahahahahahahahahah

Witch.

So who is the Hero? A blood thirsty beast who promised that the dog and the baboon like you would be soaked in Blood?

A man who failed to concede defeat; condoned violence and refused to apologise to over 700 families, comprising majorly the Igbos and Yorubas?

This woman is a witch (no apology).

tbaba1234:


Nope, you are the one that is unaware that the statement was made by someone else not Buhari .

The statement was made by Lawal Kaita, a PDP politician from Kaduna.

Do your research.

Mynd44:
Those who call him "hero" are the problem with this country and sick in the head.

And add to that some people actually mentioned a Nobel prize....

Smh

Raxxye:
A hero, according to Wikipedia, is

"a character or person, who, in the face of danger and
adversity or from a position of weakness, displays
courage or self-sacrifice"

Another source defines it thus:

"a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic
qualities or has performed a heroic act and is
regarded as a model or ideal"

Unless Ezekwesili has a different definition of a hero different from the above, then I beg to disagree with her.

For promising to conduct a free and fair election without interfering in the process, and keeping his words: that makes him a hero

Think for a second what would have become of last Saturday's election had the president lost his calm after the card reader failed to capture him and kept him waiting in the sun for over thirty minutes, moreso when his party had advised against the use of the card reader. Had he stormed out of that polling booth, that would have been the end of election that day, and the consequences could only have been imagined. For maintaining his cool in the face of that, he is a hero

For calling GMB and congratulating him(something GMB never did in 2011 and can never do), and thereby averting "goons and baboons" being soaked in blood, he is a hero

For telling his party not to bother contesting the outcome of the election in court to avoid distracting the incoming president, he is a hero

Hate him as much as you choose to do, Mrs Ezekwesili, you cannot take this glorious moment from him. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has set a standard for democracy, not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa. The man is our national hero!

Bolade005:
Mr Ebele is not a hero to me, the real HERO is the man who never gave up his dream, the man who kept trying, the man who never stopped believing. General Muhammadu Buhari is the hero not Ebele.

Talking of heroes, the Late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh over Ebele.

GEJ my HERO! FAYOSE my role MODEL...

stagger:
This woman needs to see a psychiatrist.

She never described OBJ in such lurid terms, when everyone knows OBJ's culture of rigging and systemic corruption, not to talk of his third term agendum nearly sent this country to the precipice. Of course, can we forget he embraced her in a public gathering in a way that smacks of lack of marital decorum?

OBJ sent 3,00 elderly men and women in Odi to their early graves. Madam due process, go siddon abeg. GEJ's move to handover power and concede defeat is unprecedented in Nigerian and African history, and for that he deserves commendation.

vislabraye:


Was last election free and fair? If no, tell me where there was rigging.

saxywale:


Exactly...
''The Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom would be very concerned by any attempts to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission (INEC), or its Chairman, Prof Jega; or in any way distort the expressed will of the Nigerian people.''

They reminded GEJ of the Gbagbo treatment with a subtle threat in that joint statement. My guy GEJ prefers to enjoy his loot in peace instead of being shamed and disgraced. It's just common sense.

elari:

By now people like you should be ashamed, after all the noise u and ur crew made, u still have the gods to show ur ass on nairaland. Some people really do have no shame

laytoshtwo:
my dear am not supporting anybody here..I whouldnt know what buhari would have done..so assuming Buhari lost nd he refused to accept defeat then that make him a bad man, a bad citizen and an unlawful person...simple...my cry is dere is no heroic action in accepting defeat...



Your opinion









Will buhari do the same if he lost?

Kizmarty:


You're very very wrong.
Go complete your research well

philips70:


Elections were massively rigged in Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Enugu....in a very high criminal scale. PDP, as smart as they are quickly photographed some arranged northern kids in a single line to use to counter any claims of this fraud. If I were a judge and you bring those pictures circulating as evidence of underage voting you must spend some years behind bars.
