Texcoco: Come May 29, Jonathan will be the cynosure of all eyes not Buhari, who will be under pressure to deliver...Obj blew his legendary status vying for third term,GEJ became an African Icon selflessly conceeding second term...The Janjweedes should live with that. OBJ was still relevant, even after his third term saga. GEJ is a quiet man and so he will be after May 29, while OBJ will be pushing the Western interest all over Africa. The West don't really like GEJ . |

efilefun: Cuz he conceded defeat that makes him the best....laiye, someone that knows the way out of boko haram but decided to wait until the last minute so he could use it to campaign, or someone who said he never heard about the #ekitigate saga see what he turned our military to, nothing but bunch of liars, he sent orubebe to scatter the whole election if not for God and the patience of Jega, Jonathan is never a saint and incase you dont know Abdulsalam actually told jona to make that call, jonathan that turned NTA to a station that couldnt say the truth which they know... Even when Obasanjo was seeking his third term agenda he wasn't as desperate as jonathan, nobody heard trash from the media nor nigerian army or some adverts mocking the death of Buhari's wife and daughter.. He accepted to call cuz he was so scared of being treated the same way gbagbo was treated and with the constant warning from USA, UK and other countries only a fool will disgrace himself publicly like orubebe again.
MODIFIED: this is to those calling their father's age mate fool on here without facts well Jonathan wasn't the first african leader to concede defeat so get your facts right before you start quoting me and spewing trash like an "hediot"
President Abdoulaye Wade in 2012 became the first West African leader in a while to concede defeat when he was thumped by former protege Macky Sall, enabling Sall to proclaim that "the big winner...is the Senegalese people".
Ex-Malawian president Bakili Muluzi, who observed Nigeria's elections for the Commonwealth, ran against dictator Hastings Banda in 1994 and succeeded in ending his 33-year-rule
Zambia's Rupiah Banda drew more than a few tears when, on losing his presidency to Michael Sata in 2011, he told the nation: "I have no ill feeling in my heart".
"I wish him well in his years as president," he continued. "Now is the time for a new leader. My time is done. It is time for me to say good bye. Well articulated. 1 Like |

The same GEJ who destroyed the Army and politicised them so much they had to HIDE BUHARI's CERTIFICATE so they can claim the Army does not have it? Only to bring it our after Buhari won the election!
Army hierarchy is a disgrace!, to betray one of your own Generals, for a clueless Clown like Ebelete Jonathan?

Re: How Jonathan Defeated Obasanjo by emmatok(m): 7:11pm On Apr 03, 2015 |
manuelo130: I cannot agree less We all know OBJ and his desire for African statesmanship. He jumps onto any bandwagon that portrays him as a statesman in Africa. He fought Jonathan tooth and nail for obvious reasons to the extent of anticipating the now infamous "Gbagbo treatment" on him But Jonathan certainly has the last laugh. If he wins the for leadership in Africa, OBJ might commit suicide. I have not researched the modality for this award but i am very sure that both Buhari and OBJ will scuttle the opportunity for Jonathan if they have any role to play in that award. Every word that came out of the mouth of OBJ regarding Jonathan was laden with so much hatred that you almost think they had pre existing issues to settle. I guess we all have to wait and see. Whats so special about Mo Ibrahim award, that will it be giving OBJ sleepless night. OBJ is a member of many African and international organizations. |

calebo101: Please nobody should ever mention Jonathan and Obasanjo in same sentence, they are miles apart!!!
Obasanjo oversaw 2 elections and none of them was free and fair, Jonathan did. Obasanjo had 8 peaceful years of leadership he did NOTHING for Nigeria, Jonathan in 5 years did much more despite the demons from the North tormenting him. Jonathan laid the bedrock of democracy for Nigeria and Africa. It's not easy for a sitting president to sign the FOI bill when you know it would be used to witch hunt you, Jonathan did!
Under Obasanjo's tenure, Bola Ige, Harry Marshall, and a whole lot of political assassinations occurred even when the political climate was not tense, Jonathan's tenure despite the tensed political atmosphere never recorded a single assassination and nobody was or went on exile.
Obasanjo was so deluded he claimed Jonathan was training snipers with people on watch-list, how mad can a man get?? That midget El-Rufai was on exile during Yar'Adua's tenure and could only come back to Nigeria to flex his mouth because Jonathan allowed it.
Jonathan's defeat was just a powerful merger of the Northerners and SOME of their South-Western allies. If Jonathan was to be a Yoruba or an Hausa man, he would have been the BEST president by miles Nigeria ever had. But unfortunately he is a minority and not in control of the mass and social media, that's his bane.
All they had to do was give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, and they did it. Suddenly Jonathan became the most corrupt man ever in Nigeria. They conveniently forgot Abacha's loot which decades later is still being discovered and recovered. They also forgot Obasanjo's romance with the Halliburton scandal and Siemens's scandal and the shameless "Ghana must go" saga when Obasanjo tried to buy a third term in office. They forgot Obasanjo and Atiku never built any university for Nigeria but established their own private universities.
But like someone said, Jonathan lost Nigeria and won Africa and the World. Even in defeat Obasanjo has been trounced thoroughly by the man from the creeks. Watch how Jonathan becomes an Africa statesman after his handover and how world leaders use him as a reference point on the growth of democracy in Nigeria cum Africa. Being clueless seems to be a blessing after all.
Unlike Obasanjo who gatecrashes into Africa countries to give his unsolicited advise. Useless old man without a family and without dignity. oh bro, u've reasoned exactly like a replica of me. Though one of his problem is being too a gentleman. Thank God for his life. As for Obj, I respect him as an elder statesman, he has tried for this country in doing the good, bad n ugly.

Re: How Jonathan Defeated Obasanjo by Nobody: 11:24pm On Apr 03, 2015 |
Beautifully said sir! Marvin67: I never understood what people meant whenever they said GEJ never loses a battle until I saw the outcome of the elections. The 2015 presidential election wasn't just a battle between GEJ and GMB, it was also a battle between GEJ and OBJ. Everyone who knows Nigeria well, knows that OBJ spent his time in office, trying to create a name for himself in Africa. Eventually, he left office and became one of Africa's most respected former leaders. GEJ however had more issues on his neck while he was Nigeria's president, and I'm sure he almost had no time to think of Africa. But after losing the elections, GEJ performed an act that made him leap frog OBJ to being one of Africa's greatest. His singular act of congratulating the winner, made the whole world and all of Africa respect him. In some quarters he's been described as the father of modern democracy in Nigeria.
Even the APC which I never thought would ever use the name Jonathan and commend in the same sentence has this to say through Alhaji Lai Mohammed by that singular act, which went a long way in dousing post-election tension, the President had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. It also noted that Jonathan had written his name in gold in the annals of Nigeria’s history and catapulted himself to a statesman.
Also, Mo Ibrahim a man who has never said anything about OBJ had this to say about GEJ; Thank you Mr President. If you are seeking a legacy, you have definitely achieved it.” If GEJ eventually wins the Mo Ibrahim award for 2015, then he'd definitely be smiling all over Africa, far more than OBJ is smiling. When the UN, AU, Commonwealth, etc looks for an African democrat to use an example, they'd definitely use GEJ, while OBJ falls into the category of so many former presidents.
Lastly, as my warri friend said "who God don bless, God don bless, Jona no dey ever lose. Him lose Aso Rock, but him win Africa".

It not bout Jonathan, even if it was you and I know that what is being said bout isn't true, I would resist it also. What I wished Nigerians would do is to appreciate a good person when you see one. Lemme give you an instance, take the comment made by the so called Oba of Lagos against the Ibo people. Is it right? These are people that have co existed with you for years even before he became an Oba, they have been paying taxes. Performing their civic responsibilities as a resident of lagos and even still supported the throne. All cos he want his candidate to win, you threatening them and their lives with oaths and curses? Now assume this man was in Jonathan's shoes, don't you think he has declared war already? He won't even allow results to be read. He would have cancelled the Elections and made inciting comments that could make this country experience another civil war. This is the very nature of the APC and it hurts that people don't see that. That is what they should kick against. Now, with someone like that, won't it make you review jonathan and appreciate whatever he did to ensure peace during and after elections? Pls, in honest terms! Again, I apologize. |
