I think we are all loosing a great and vital point to this. If the country has the ability to curtail 2 Presidents, the country still won't change. The effect will still be the same and the recession will surely happen. Things are bound to happen and we can't change them, we only can prevent them. Resources are limited, and the population is growing daily. How do we manage these resources with the ever-growing population. We don't have a clue of the number of persons living at a particular place, we have no clue of the number of resources that can be harnessed at different states, and yet we think either Jonathan or Buhari can make a change? I think not.

EXTRACT FROM DELE MOMODU's ARTICLE TITLED 'THE SECOND COMING OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN'

I have been reading about the rising profile of our former President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and wish to state without equivocation that no one should rule him out of the 2019 presidential race. I first hinted this possibility about two months ago and wish to reiterate that Nigerians should prepare for the shock that awaits us. The story of Donald Trump should bring us back to our senses. Nothing is impossible. The second coming of Goodluck Jonathan may be so far-fetched or even belong in those categories of impossibilities but I wish to plead with our government and my fellow citizens not to rule it out. As one of those who made our modest and humble contributions to the coming of this Buhari government, I’m pleading with trepidation.

Jonathan’s popularity is rising not because of anything he has done to atone the sins that must have led to his waterloo but as a result of what our change government has failed or refused to do. The obsession of our government with going all out after Jonathan is the main reason the Otuoke man is beginning to smell like roses after the odoriferous position he landed himself last week. Only if our government had succeeded in maintaining the economy it met, Nigerians would have been ready to enter fire with Buhari. But there are just too many unresolved problems and challenges. The excuses that Jonathan and company left this peculiar mess behind has refused to fly. The groans might not be loud enough to reverberate all the way to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, as of now, but trust me it may become deafening, sooner than later. I do not care if men and women of power dismiss my submission with a wave of the hand but they should mark my word, there is a thickening conspiracy in the clouds. It would be a shame if we inadvertently play into the hands of those hovering and ready to pounce on Buhari.

I read about “persecution complex” long ago and I understand how it works. If you beat your own child so ruthlessly as if you want to kill him, the tilt of public opinion would always go against you. Many would wonder why you want to kill your own child. In our anger, let us pick our fights. There is too much tension in the land. I would be delighted if anyone could educate and convince me that Nigeria has gained much more than we’ve lost to this war of attrition. If we haven’t, we may need to retrace our steps urgently.

The BBC reported on Friday how Jonathan caused a stir in Sokoto State during his visit to the state to pay his respects to Ibrahim Dasuki, the late former Sultan of Sokoto. According to the report, Jonathan was received by a large crowd of admirers, some holding banners bearing the words “Come Back Baba Jonathan”. The same voices that chanted “Sai Baba” and “Jonathan Must Go” are now fiddling with the tunes of the possibility of a Jonathan to stage a comeback. Here lies the irony of political triumph and the paradox of high expectations.

The euphoria and momentum that saw the exit of Jonathan and the emergence of the Buhari change administration has since begun to wane following the inability of the new government to hit the ground running with the tenacity of a government in a hurry!

There are many who believe that the poor management of the ensuing economic recession didn’t help matters. Suddenly, Nigerians who had high hopes and voted massively for change are now caught in a limbo between confusion and uncertainty. As it stands today, the average Nigerian is confronted with the reality of an economic recession they never planned for; a situation they did not experience under the Jonathan administration and under previous governments.

Many of President Buhari’s supporters are worried that the humongous goodwill that engineered the Buhari change mantra is now being frittered away at the speed of light. The unfolding plot has now thrown up former President Jonathan as a new protagonist in Nigeria’s theatre of the absurd. For many of us who are ardent students of history, we have since learnt that nothing is impossible in the game called politics. Will history repeat itself again? Time is pregnant with answers!

Nonsense, anyone with little common sense would know that GEJ was the worst ever head of state; he presided over unprecedented looting of the country and literally wasted away our future.

9jalyte:


Really? So in your mind you have "common sense". Chai, the butterfly thinks himself he is a bird. Just take a look at comments above and conclude for yourself where you belong - the inconsequential few. Keep nursing your wounded heart and ego, I can imagine what you will be feeling when you look yourself in the mirror and see the face of someone whose vote put Nigeria in a mess.

Time after time, each sitting president seems to be better off than the former. Can't we see as time passes, things gets worse. Companies are leaving, unemployment has become a norm, and no one seems to be ashamed of it. And you clamor for Jonathan, or some freaking futuristic president who has got no clue of what the country is like?

If you want to understand a man, give him money, after wards, give him power. I think Jonathan was given every possible time to make the country right in his way. But he didn't, he couldn't. He failed, just like every project that has been handled by companies failed. Buhari has made a mess of it, and it keeps getting worse. We should not take our sight off many things. Our resources will soon wear off, and in no time, we will have nothing. Our kids are growing, our schools are depleting, we have nothing. No advancement, nothing to show for it. Great minds are leaving the country, and yet we say one man can make a change? This country has failed, and we keep putting blames on this and that.
When will that stop?

I was walking today at Abule egba, where the road construction which the Fed govt has got no clue where to begin from. I decided to control traffic, and a friend of mine asked, why should I be bothered about it? He asked why I should help people who have got no care about me or know about my existence. And I said, If someone doesn't do it, who will? I have to. If we keep neglecting little things like this, my brother, this country will never change. It will remain the same, even if Jonathan and Buhari work together. We claim we are one Nigeria, but we are not. I clamor for a working country, give me goosebumps when you rule, give me a reason to live for Nigeria, not to live in Nigeria. Give me a reason to cry when someone I don't even know, or will never cross path dies. Give me so much reason to love my dear country. We claim we are the happiest of persons in the world, how are we happy? Suffering, yet smiling. That doesn't exist anymore. I love this country, I left and came back, and I am here to stay, no matter what. Give me reasons not to regret the decision I have made.

Lekewatt:
wetin this unrepentant wailer dey talk sef? I beg dress jor.

Securedlife:

any one with COMPLETE/FULL COMMON SENSE Will know that GEJ was the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria. Did I hear you calling him "head of state", sorry, he was never a head of state but a PRESIDENT, is dat clear?. Now repeat after me, PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT, good! dats my boy. this is Saramen, the Secretary General of wailers association jikwoyi branch, abuja

mightyhazel:
Buhari is a disaster! Even a stone will defeat him com 2019!

yetseyi:


Finally, someone who shares my opinion, Nigeria's problem is systemic and Nigerians are very impatient people. Cleansing this country and bringing it back to the Nigeria of old will take years, I know that it didnt't matter who won the 2015 elections , the recession was bound to happen it was only a matter of time ,in fact some people had been preparing and making plans for this time years back.

Sometimes when I see people jumping up and down saying if Jonathan won we won't be in this situation I just shake my head simply because it would have happened irrespective of who the president ,CBN governor , finance minister is. Sometimes its calls for emiefele and adeosun to resign and people don't understand that sacking them won't solve this country's problem.

I am not surprised anyway because party affiliation, ethnicity and religion influences Nigerians a lot and we can't seem to talk logically without these sentiments.

The Nigerian system itself needs a overhaul and one major thing that will help Nigeria is if corruption can be eradicated, if that can be settled it will be good to our nation.

The recession was bound to happen irrespective of who was elected.

BTW I am not APC/PDP.

NaijaMutant:
GEJ is not seeking reelection, pls don't use him as a bait in your fight with the daura cabals.


Just take heart, The daura cabals outsmarted the Lagos Ibadan expressway political mercenaries despite their sophisticated education.

If you want to wail, Pls buy a form and register officially

I don't think you are Okay by saying that, maybe be u r blind and only hear tru ur ears, even d Atmosphere is a complete witness that GEJ is better than d present president.. I hate tribalists and unreasonable mindset like this

davidif:


Chei! this is so sad that things are so bad in Nigeria that some Nigerians are wishing for the return of corrupt and incompetent administration? Its so sad that Nigerians did not have better options at the elections and had to chose between Buhari and Jonathan. Two people who could probably never win an election in most advanced countries in the world. Its like trying to pick between an E or an F in an exam.

Something needs to be done about how electoral process especially in the primaries. Instead of the party cabal picking the who determines to win the party nominee and represent them in the general elections let Nigerians go to the voting booth and decide. Let the people vote like they do in the U.S. Let them vote during the party primaries and during the general elections. In the U.S, 17 candidates decided to run for the Republican nomination and eventually after several months Donald Trump won the nominee and he went on to win the general elections. Party candidates ought to be picked by the people and not the party bosses.

CarlyX8:


MeAboki go and sit down, the APC made us to believe that GEJ frittered our resources and people like you believed without asking questions. GEJ squandered 2.2billion dollars, and everyone is blaming him, OBJ squandered 16 billion dollars meant for electricity projects and nobody is calling OBJ. Buhari stole 2.8 billion dollars in 1978 and he's going about fighting corruption, meanwhile PMB is an embodiment of Corruption

NaijaMutant:
Dele Momodu is another sore loser of the Tinubu APC faction who has been sidelined by the daura cabal in aso rock.

They are unofficially wailing through different means and channels but we are not buying it cos if the daura cabal had not sidelined Tinubu and his loyalists which includes Dele, all this wailing epistles wouldn't have been written.

Watch as they rewrite history so quickly, praising a man they so maligned 18months ago.

Expect more praises of GEJ and more criticisms of Buhari from these political nonentities called loyalist, even though well educated but lack any will of their own, they sheepishly follow the orders of the godfather, they love whoever he loves and hate whoever he hates
These sets of humans are worse than Buhari's zombies

You are the one saying nonsense.

Why do these guys reason like this?

disprove what I said and stop d tinubu heartattack....doesn't fit u.....who did dele momodu support during the NA election?...have u even bn following political news instead of just jumping on threads and shouting tinubu upanddan....

LaClicKLaBenDin:


Really? So, please, tell me, what should we call Abacha's loot?

How much has been traced directly to Jonathan as loot?
How much has been recovered from Abacha's loot, and how much are we still to repatriate?

Hate is a powerful force, capable of eroding the very faculties which makes humans higher than animals.

9jalyte:

The only reason i voted buhari was because GEJ was out of it imagine the looting that survived under him**Buhari is not the best but GEJ deserves 0 praises

head of state??

Bro did you really drop out from Nursery school??

dckng16:
Oga u re talking trash! The same old stories and blames everytime. Buhari is d worst President ever! I voted for him in anticipation that he will deliver and perform better, but he made life tough and unbearable for Nigerians with his useless Economic policies. Can't wait for 2019 to come. e just dey pain me dat INEC has been bought over.

expee06:


The worst president ever yet People never committed suicide due to hunger and starvation neither did he deceive people into believing he's fighting corruption while his cronies and allies milk Nigeria dry like a certain Chief of Staff taking N500M bribe from a telecom company.
No sane and objective human will compare what we have now to Gej's time. we are doomed with the present set of APC comedians
