President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday said he was ready to pay the supreme price for Nigeria with all the benefits he has derived from the country right from his school days.

Apart from getting scholarships in school, he said he became a deputy governor, governor, vice president and president by the grace of God.

Jonathan, who noted that he was not more hardworking than other Nigerians, said that security personnel who have not gotten 0.5 percent of the benefits he derived from office, have been paying the supreme price for the country.

He spoke during the Thanksgiving and Farewell service in his honour at the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life-camp, Gwarimpa, Abuja.

He said: “When I look at the whole picture of my life up to when I became the president of this country. And I say that if soldiers and police officers that have not received 0. 5 percent of the benefits that I have received from the state can lay their lives for this country, I should do anything in the interest of Nigeria including paying the supreme price.”

“As long as live, I will continue to do my best for the state because the state has helped me as a person. I have to thank Nigerians especially my state for giving me the opportunity to serve as deputy governor and the whole country gave me the opportunity to serve as Vice President and then president, first was to complete the tenure of the late president and later serve as president from which I am exiting now as a very happy and fulfilled man.” he said

Stressing that there are reasons for eveything, he said that some decisions taken by him and the government have their costs.

He said: “I believe there are reasons for everything. Some hard decisions have their own cost, no doubt about that. That I have ran the government this way that stabilized certain things, the electoral process and other things that brought stability into this country. They were very costly decisions which I myself must be ready to pay for.”

“Some people come to me and say this or that person is he not your friend that benefited. Is it not your government that this person benefited from? But this is what the person is saying. But I used to say worse statements will come. If you take certain decisions, you should know that those close to you will even abandon you at some point. And I tell them that more of my so-called friends will disappear.”

Humble as ever, meanwhile in Daura, a career soldier believes Nigeria owes him keys to Aso Rock by virtue of being a Fulani man.

He would have died for Nigeria, but instead Nigeria chose to kill him

God bless Nairaland.

God Bless You Mr President...

The good people of Nigeria are proud of you

Nigeria's most Democratic President ever

This dude keep letting people know how clueless he is. What does he understand by been ready to die for the country? When he haven't made any sacrifice for Nigerians. The same clown eat N3 million Naira food daily when there are families who went to bed without food and have no hope for the next meal.

This is the same goat that never went to born state since the insurgency took another dimension to cheer up our troops, this is the same goat that said he doesn't give a damn about declaring his asset.

I wonder if he reasons with his head or dick

Yes oo. He refused to go until when election came. He thinks Hausas are like those people he decieved with niger bridge

Many are sill blind to the phenomenon called Jonathan.
Sir, the UN is calling.
Continue in your humility and simplicity.

When the fanfare is over in Nigeria, then they will know the difference between CHANGE and ONE CHANCE!

Ur friends has ran away. I can be ur new friend sir

barcanista:
God Bless You Mr President...

Nigeria's most Democratic President ever

And the bad people of Nigeria are not.
Pot calling kettle black. Somebody like you telling us who is good and who is bad.
Hmmmm

Oooooo God .........this man again Pls why is this month so slow This May is the slowest month of the century

Lying in the church? Na wa o.

Goodluck you were a good man. The problem with you is that you were not like a typical Nigerian politician. I wish you well in your future endeavors though. Do try to lay low like certain past presidents (Shagari) and don't try to be a nuisance like Obasanjo and IBB.

Thank God u no die because pdp still needs u

U death would have been a waste yourself, PDP, and the nation at large..... nonsence

U can still die for otuekans and biafrans after may 29

but why him no die again na?

When you had the opportunity to die for Nigeria, you decided to chop 1b naira food.

When you were expected to lay your safety for Nigeria you decided to fly to France arguing that BH will kill you.

GEJ you can lie ooo

La wa ooooh

You have joined the Leaque of foremost world leaders of repute who lost elections when they should have won them.

The Northern Tiger must be ready to purge corruption from its root.



Buhari

Prove us wrong that you are not

BABA ONE CHANCE

BABA HYPOCRITE

BABA MAGICIAN


Prove us wrong by probing


Tinubu OBJ Saraki Atiku Rochas Amaechi


Prove us wrong by probing the corrupt Federal Civil Service which is dominated by Tinubu's people


Sir

Tinubu's people voted you because they believe they can steal the oil wealth and presidency through you


They believe Tinubu through Osinbajo can control your government the way Idiagbon did


Sir

They do not believe in change because if they do, they would have voted you in 2007 and 2011


Remember that you are a descendant of Usman Dan Fodio

Remember that your ancestors never allowed the Oduduwas deceive them


WISE UP

A clueless and weakling, a betrayer and deceiver will always speak like a confused man.
