Some of these people are better than goodluck Jonathan

IzonOwei:
...your wahala too much...have you seen a dictator that signs into law the FOI bill??...a dictator that espouses freedom of speech to the extent that persons like you can curse the president and still feel safe in your house...

I think we need a whole new definition of who a dictator is..

bouncino:
Dont know your definition of dictator. A list without Hitler, Baby Doc, the North Korea guy, former Chinese leader, Mobutu, Sadam, Ayotallah etc is incomplete.
I guess you were focusing on sit tight African leaders not dictators

chekasforchekas:
Gaddafi nko?

Keneking:


I agree with your last sentence. The definition of a contemporary dictator must be contested and negotiated. There would be tensions and modifications here and there...but for someone to upload a fatally designed tag for some past leaders in Africa as dictators is unfortunate. Jonathan would qualify in every ramification and standards in the modified definition of dictatorship based on his past and present antecedents.

I disagree on that of Mugabe, maybe am one of his supporter here in Nigeria. To buttress my point, as long as I condemn mugabe for being too long in power I refuse to refer him as a "tyrant" as regarded by the white supported by african puppet.

Simple reasons-

1. Zimbabwians citizen have been under the oppression of the white migrant before the emergence of Mugabe, to cut the history to its size, Mugabe discovered that the most fertile part of the zimbabwian soil has been occupied by the white farmer while the blacks were limited to a soil-less land for farming, not only that, the black farmers were restricted from entering those fertile areas, nor work in those areas except they want to be used as labour in their own country. These infuriate Mugabe which make's him to chase those white out of those areas by re-distributing among its citizen, the white farmer responded by reporting Mugabe to UN which led to the total break down of the economy, the UN withdraw aid, foreign exchange and even failed to buy their natural minerals. I won't forget the question mugabe ask the whites "how many blacks have a huge farmland in britain", that led to Mugabe blackmail till date.


Rogert Mugabe is probably the last lion that will roar for Africa. how can you be truly independent if your colonial masters still run 2/3 of the main national Income earner (farming), and they employ black farmers. can any one of u allow a stranger who enters you home(by force or with ur consent) to be controlling critical affairs of your home and lord over u and your family- would you still honestly claim to be the owner of the home it is important to note that befor he carried out the plan of chasing the farmers, he had petitioned the UK govt to dialogue over the issue and after delaying and promising for years they told him in no clear terms to **** himself... i like for u to imagine, u have a problem in ur home and instead of u immediately getting rid of the problem, u reach out to others for help, they BS u, what would u do....

Throughout the annals of history, humanity
has always tried to free itself. Africa has an
eternal dance of people who were
revolutionary who freed their people, those
that became the modern day messiah’s only
to enslave the very people that they were
bound to save. Here is a list of 10 saviours
who eventually turned into tyrants.

Charles Taylor

The first of many is Charles Taylor.
Charles’s full name is Charles McArthur
Ghankay Taylor and he was the 22nd
president of Liberia. Charles ruled for eight
years from 1997-2003. Taylor was born on
January 28 1948 in a small town near
Monrovia Liberia. Before he became the
president of Liberia, Charles was a leader of
a rebel group known as The National
Patriotic Front of Liberia. Charles Taylor was
accused of being a war time criminal who
committed several atrocities and crimes
against humanity, this is due to his
involvement in the Sierra Leone Civil War
that occurred between 1991 and 2002,
Charles Taylor was eventually found guilty
at the International criminal court of justice,
The Hague in 2012 for all eleven charges
ranging from terror, Conscripting or enlisting
children under the age of 15 years into
armed forces or groups, or using them to
participate actively in hostilities, Violence to
life, health and physical or mental well-being
of persons, in particular cruel treatment and
in May of that year, he was sentenced to 50
years in prison. He is regarded as one of the
worst dictators of Africa of the 21st century

Paul Biya

Paul hails from Cameroon and was born in
February 13 1933. Politics was always in
Biya’s blood, and he has managed to be
president for several terms, he has been
the President of Cameroon since 6 November
1982. Biya has many critics for his lack of
public appearances, but Biya wields his
sweeping powers like a tyrant. He rules with
his authoritarian fist that lets him essentially
push any policies that he deems necessary.
Though not the worst of the worst, Biya is
one of the best known examples of
authoritarianism. “Tyrants, the World’s 20
Worst Living Dictators”, by David
Wallechinsky, ranked Biya together with
three others mainly in sub-Saharan
Africa: Robert
Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Teodoro Obiang
Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea,
and King Mswati of Swaziland. He was also
ranked 19th in Parade Magazine’s Top 20
list of “The World’s Worst Dictators”

Robert Mugabe

Uncle Roo is the quintessential hero to
tyrant, the modern day messiah that helped
bring freedom to Zimbabweans only to get
himself power drunk, he has been in power
since 1980. Robert Gabriel Mugabe is a man
who needs no introduction. Mugabe is an
odd man when it comes to dictators. He has
the illusion of democracy on one hand while
he oppresses the white Zimbabwe people
with the other, Robert Mugabe has been
viewed as being racist towards white people,
targeting white citizens in various ways. To
make him even more confusing, a number of
Africans consider Mugabe a hero in their
eyes. Mugabe has committed many crimes
against human rights according to news
sources. In Mugabe’s words he has referred
to lesbians and gays as being “worse than
dogs and pigs” Though his worst crimes are
wielding his authoritarian power to strip
white people of their wealth and property. In
the international scene, he is regarded by
many, especially the white folks as one of
the worst dictators of Africa ever

General Sanni Abacha

Abacha hails from Nigeria and though he
only retained power for a scant five years, he
managed to commit a lifetime of crimes in
this time period. He declared his government
to be above the law and he essentially did
whatever he wanted. Sanni Abacha has been
described by political pundits as “the most
brutal dictator of the west African
powerhouse”. He ruled his nation with
impunity. Though unconfirmed, rumours
emanating from official circles has it that the
senior military officer died in sexual bouts
with Indian prostitutes. He will always be
remembered for the 1995 killing of the
political and environmental activist, Ken Saro
Wiwa. He was also responsible for five
billion dollars in stolen funds . It
is believed that his family still holds a
significant amount of these ill gotten gains.
General Sani Abacha is one of the worst
dictators of Africa

Sekou Toure

Sekou Toure was only to be president of
Guinea for four years. He managed to rule it
for three decades from 1958-1984. He
declared Guinea a one party state. Toure
was another typical case of someone that
was initially seen as the ‘Guinean Messiah’,
but later became a pain to his people. Toure
who was one time leader of the Pan-
Africanist movement consistently spoke out
against colonial powers, he befriended
African American activists that includes the
like of Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael, to
whom he offered asylum. He is survived
through the Guineans who fled the country
to avoid the death camps that were enacted
under his watch. Many of his political
opponents were executed in these camps.

Borrussia:
And has Jonathan ever dictated?

Keneking:


Your arguments and classification holds no water as they are mental propositions and fabrications not empirically supported and not justiciable. There are no references to these summaries you have put up here.

The difference is that while most of those characters mentioned were "lone-rangers", Jonathan achieved this particular feat in company of his PDP cohorts.

Correct me if wrong...Jonathan has to be included because his actions and inactions are felt in present times and easily a candidate of past African leaders with dictatorial tendencies.

captain247:


You are %100 wrong. Among all the qualification used in qualifying others e.g number of deaths recorded killed by the president, can you state with facts those Jonathan killed? Simply because you dislike him doesn't make him a character to be in that list.
