Oceemo:Guy that phone call need to be hyped honestly. Please go to a quiet corner and think, imagine Sudan, look at Libya, look at Syria, put yourself in the position of those in borno and its environs then tell me if it shouldn't be hyped. Those who haven't heard bomb blast and destruction close to them may never value the small amount of peace they are enjoying. Like a quote, Freedom is never appreciated until when lost. Go and thank God, nobody knows who a gun shot or a grenade will send to his or her early grave. 1 Like |

Wadraj: I disagree with you, I'm not a big fan of GEJ but I think he saved Nigeria from plunging into chaos, the troubles in Kenya would have been a fraction of what the whole country would have been going through at the moment. Little mighty acts like this are often taken for granted. Whether he was coerced, threatened or pleaded with to make that call, I would still applaud him. He did the right thing. Enough blood and lives have been wasted. |

I suspect there is malicious intention to make the phone call a big deal. There is really nothing heroic about it. Any fool can easily spark off national crises.The concession of power didn't come with heroic gentility. The several manoeuvres to rig the elections just couldn't beat the overwhelming choice of the masses. The heroes are Nigerians and Jega himself, not someone we need to hold accountable for making our country a historic laughing stock. |

No one, I said no one persuaded the president to admit defeat. b4 even campaign, he said he was not desperate for power and that his ambition is not worth the blood of any citizen. This man no het talk but to discredit a man of honour. 1 Like |

elantraceey:if only you have a trifle imagination of what the melting-pot of the marriage called Nigeria would have turned out to be had that hyped call not made and defeat conceded, you certainly won't be sitting behind your keypad unguildedly typing the call "has been over-hyped long enough". You probably already saw Orubebe, an elder stateman stowing electoral process on national TV without a tad care for his name. The analysis in the OP's post by an expert opinion is only a euphemised papered-analysis of what would have happened. The blood-letting currently going on in Rivers State is little more than a dot in the maze of what the entire Nigeria would have grappled with had Jonathan not conceded defeat before consultation. There are folks down here in Niger Delta who are snarky with the president for conceding defeat without putting up a good and hard fight. Had he not so done, a great many would have taken up arms, hit the street(not just the creek) and the long-predicted war would have begone. Let me help you to see with your mind's eye what the sort of life you and I would have led had that supposed hyped call not made. Life for you, for me, for all Nigerians would have been nastic, brutish, primitive and short. Something of an hobbesian state. This time not just a news of insurgence happening somewhere in a distant north where we type, arm-chaired at home, 'RIP to the dead' in the comment box and it slips from our memory grip; this time it will be brought to your, my doorstep like the ware of a hawker. Even now, after the 'hyped call' had been made and defeat conceded, some folks down here and online, are sussing out that it was stark inane to have let sleeping dog lie and are now angling for a revenge of what they felt was the north surreptitious blueprint to make the country ungovernable for their brother with the intention of making him appear clueless in the bargain and consequently voted out. Just pray this heated bout of emotion get squelched otherwise we just might need myriad of those hyped calls to do an 'abeg-drop-your-gun' job in the last resort. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jcmaiah: Though the President's prompt concession of defeat is noble, the decision still exposed a lack of intensity in what he believes in. I believe the President caved in to pressure, a character flaw that truly defines GEJ's weak Presidency! |

Why arr we all saying the call has been hyped, why is it that in this part of the world we dont like recognising the truth or good things. We may call him dumb, weak, foolish or whatever we like but this guy has proved to the world beyond any doubt that he is one of the wisest presidents if not the wisest that Nigeria has ever produced. We've had people who couldn't this instead they gave us people of their choices but GEJ against all odds did it. No one cajouled or forced him but he willingly did it, forget the peace accord. For me, He is the hero of Democracy as far as i am concerned. May be Nigeria would have been another sudan or DRC, God forbid but thank God he took that bold step to relinquish power. As we thank God for preserving peace in this great nation of ours, let also thank God for using GEJ & thank GEJ for allowing himself to be used by God for preserving lives. Lets not take his action lightly cause i could remember how the whole atmosphere was filled with tension during the campaign period. I am not a PDP candidate but i praise good things or acts when i see one 1 Like 1 Share |

Wadraj: U talk foul a lot just to discredit a good deed. With or without Peace accord, GEJ would have called GMB. Or haven't u seen people back out of agreements in the past? What makes it very symbolic is that GMB will never call GEJ to congratulate him if he had lost this election (with or without peace accord) |

gists: Anyhow you look at it, there is something even God has no direct control over in every man. That is called 'CHOICE'. Everyday, with each CHOICE we make, we write the pages of our destiny. He was given an advice (as we were told, not aware of) like every other person; he made his choice like every other person and you want to stand between him and his fame? Bros, Karma is a b*tch.
