The article is an opinion piece by Solomon Ayele Dersso, a legal academic and analyst of African affairs
who regularly writes on African issues. He is head of the Peace and
Security Council Report at the Institute for Security Studies, Addis
Ababa office. He wrote an
article titled Badluck Jonathan and Aljazeera posted it. Is that not offensive?

What about what PDP has being broadcasting on NTA about Buhari, a completely hate campaign,#jonathanisfired
Its only in nigeria that any fool can insult the president and go free. They should go to other country and insult their president, and see the outcome. Bad belle?

It's not offensive if he saying the absolute truth. In this case, he is. bADLUCK... The truth is bitter ma'm!
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT SAMBO DASUKI, Nigeria's National Security Adviser?
In August 1985, the evening of the 26th to be specific, at a time when Nigerians were celebrating the Muslim festival and enjoying the public holiday, a soldier named Badamasi Babangida was executing his plans of overthrowing the Nigerian Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari. One of the soldiers who arrested Buhari at gunpoint was a soldier named SAMBO DASUKI. After Buhari was arrested and his government toppled, IBB threw him into prison and handsomely rewarded Dasuki by making him his ADC (aide-de-camp). Sambo Dasuki was one of the four four army majors that arrested Buhari at gunpoint that day. Others were Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, Lawan Gwadabe, Abdulmumuni Aminu (I have written on him before). Buhari was left to rot in jail for two years and this wrecked his family life so bad that it led to a divorce with Safinatu, his beloved wife upon his release. While Buhari was also in jail, Babangida sent soldiers to ransack and vandalize his residence, in the process destroying some of Buhari's most valuable credentials and valuables.
Let me skip what happened to Sambo Dasuki and his father the former Sultan of Sokoto under General Abacha to today. He has been appointed as the National Security Adviser to President Jonathan and you really think Sambo Dasuki will want the elections to go on and Buhari become the President of Nigeria? Think again, what is going on has nothing to do with PVCs or bla bla bla. It is all about the interests of a few people strangling the country. I think all Nigerians should remain calm and read more and see how the game is played with the destinies of the almost 200 million of us. Things are not always what they seem to be.
The real reason why Sambo Dasuki is against Buhari is not because of his participation in a coup that toppled Buhari but because of the following reason.
There is a massive billion dollars corruption on defense contracts perpetuated by Sambo Dasuki under the guise of purchasing military equipment for the armed forces.
1. He purchased a refurbished MI Helicopters as new for the Nigerian Airforce from Belarus at the cost of $84 million per one which the market value is $15 million two have already crashed and killed the pilots.
2. He purchased a substandard UAV (Drones) from China at an exhorbitant price of $260 million as against a brand new UAV which was offered to Nigeria by Elbit Systems of Israel who are the pioneers and leading UAV Manufacturers in the world at a lower cost of $16.5 million per one and the Chinese UAV crashed on its maiden flight at Mafa village in Borno State.
3. He purchased and install a Command and Control Centre in his office from an Israeli company called NICE at an exhorbitant price of $80 million which the market value is put at $15 million. His office is not an Operational Agency by law as it serves only as an advisory role to the Presidency on security and intelligence matters so he doesn't need a Command and Control Centre and since its installation it has never worked.
4. He has done a deal with the Tchadian and Nigerien Governments to pay them cash to fight the Boko Haram on behalf of Nigeria which he collected huge amount of money and pay them peanuts.
5. The South African money for arms scandal
These are the main reasons why Sambo Dasuki is scared stiff of Buhari's Presidency and was also forced to play the psychopantic role he is playing now to save himself from sack by the GEJ government because of the serious embarrassment they faced within the international community because of the Defense contract scandal which made GEJ to start thinking of dropping him and use him as a scapegoat in their camatose fight against corruption to win sympathy from Nigerians and International Community.
The writer is a tribal bigot and satanic
Reality
Its very offensive. No matter what, he is still our President and hence deserves respect.
The more God does for you, the more envy you will attract from men. The question though: does God consider you bad luck? Just carry the ball and run as usual, already. And ... Good Luck!
Believe it or not. But I watch Aljazeera every day and am always of the opinion that they don't like GEJ'S Government. All their pieces, articles and news reports are always ANTI- JONATHAN. And that is a good thing.

Wow! This is very offensive. An insult to Nigeria
That's too far and he claims is the head of peace of whatever.
Lol!! They didn't need to put such up
Badluck is an understatement.
Very correct
He has brought nothing but Badluck to our dear country.
Buhari may not be the 'best' for now but he is the best available.
If Buhari brings badluck then we will vote him out in 2019
it very unfortunate that this government that we all think he is the messiah of Nigeria has performed so woefully. even foreigner and the rest of the world can attest to it. #BADLUCK JONATHAN.
They're very stupid...Aljazeera or whatever they called themselves should first face d problem of the Middle East, Isis, Al- Qaida so forth and so on...and leave my president alone. Last warning!!! GEJ till 2019👍
He is a stupid man
God of vengers! Avenge all GEJ's Enemies.
Not ok! Disrespectful

Hmmmm
WHICH WAY NIGERIA?
Hmmmm
WHICH WAY NIGERIA?
Linda, there is freedom of press and expression, what he expressed is clearly his opinion, from his own point of view, the article is appropriately titiled, the full article depicts the reason why it is so….
Linda pls read d Article he was referring to Jonathan as badluck, buut was saying Jonathan is not favoured dis time around, meaning bad timing for Jonathan
Freedom of speech!!!
WHAT ABOUT DOCUMENTARIES AND ADVERTS DEPICTING BUHARI AS A DESPOT? HAS GEJ OR LINDA CONDEMNED THEM?
It is very wrong for him to name his article that and also very very wrong for aljazeera to carry it too....
He was just being Satirical, Linda. You like to invite trouble on other people. There is nothing offensive in calling Goodluck Badluck, if truly he has run out of Luck or has degenerated to become a jinx to our country.
#JeSuisChibokGirls!
Impulse400
He truly is BADLUCK. That's why we want him out and fast!!! I hail from delta state but I support BuHARI!!! I have my PVC too ;-) mac10...
Totally disrespectful! Smh
This is preposterous.
Can we say this is the first time ..... no no no. let them say whatever.
No matter what, he is the president of Nigeria and thus the number one citizen who deserves some respect. They are taking this too far
You are the biggest fill of them all. GMB for president!
this is nonsense! Aljazera had better apologise to Mr president. this is way to far and highly disrecpectful!
Yeah, is badluck to dis country
U craze no be small. Badluck indeed
Surereal infact he's a grade 1 badluck...
Haba..
I don't see anything wrong about the guy's article,if there's nothing wrong with all the documentaries and advert about our former president(gmb) and gej has not said or done anything abt it, cos his the one sponsoring it all.I can't say he is bad luck bt he has definately run out of good luck,so we're going to vote him out,and if buhari too run out of luck we'll vote him out too....
He deserves no respect. Respect is not a right and should be earned. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's a free world!
I dnt support oga jona government...buh dis is so wrong n unprofessional 4rm dis yeye arabic station
"Solomon" Ayele Dersso!!! WHAT A PITY!! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE WISE TYPE OF SOLOMON...THE OPPOSITE IS HIS LOT. WHAT YOU WISH FOR PRESIDENT JONATHAN (BAD LUCK) WILL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE AND OVERSHADOW YOU. PRAYERS WILL NOT DELIVER YOU UNTIL YOU USE A SIMILAR MEDIUM TO RETRACT THIS NONSENSE.
Real bad luck, God will punish him
they must be mad simple#teamGEJ#
Dey r foolish n i knw sum big headed Nigerians wee support. Can dey call obama or anyoda president that. Rubbish
No, not on this kind of platform. This can invoke violence in a very big way. Aljazeera, I must say + the writer who gave the consent should be sued/ arrested for in sighting violence. And I am sure this madness would stop.
Very very wrng
Rubbish
U r a fool
U r a fool, idiot
If hez badluck u also badluck fool
They have every FREAKING right to publish what they want. After all, your government in Nigeria use the media to put out what THEY want and nobody bats an eyelid. eg when that Fayose guy put full page adverts condemning Buhari. So what's the big deal about this? What's good for goose is also good for gander abeg.

Yes! Dt Solomon & d Aljazerra are badlucks to their generation.
Haters are everywhere. The bible said it; surely they shall gather but not by d Lord....& they shall also fall by their counsel. Solomon & Aljazerra crew shall fall, bitterness hate will continue to be their portion all the days of their life. May God continue to bless & uplift my president Goodluck Jonathan...Goodluck all the way, Nigeria.
It not very offensive!! It a good step in the right direction! Badluck for Him. Buhari is the new man for the job! -Pst.Chekeleke
Its offensive! Can imagine ! N his a peace woreva! Mtcheew!
*academia * . Wait until ICC comes for him then maybe all you supporters will go with him to the Hague and share his sentence with him, mtcheww !!! Don't call a spade a spade .
This Aljazerra, ain't they Muslims? God forsaken fools! It's evn possible they may hv bn influenced by the opposition group here. Nigerian politicians cn go to any length to rub others Charcoal...
Is that Al-Jazeera's article or the author's article? Al-Jazeera only published it. I know you would not react if CNN or BBC did the same....nonsense
Can you please shut ur mouth, you always come off as a very unintelligent person abeg. Whats 100% okk in this? If someone calls your father badluck ko matter what, will you like it? All you senseless People here, can they say that to any white leader or muslim leader?
That's harsh.. it's not appropriate
Very derogatory comment to make about the sovereign of a country.
He's not a badluck. His oppositions just wants to pull him down.
Very derogatory comment to make about the sovereign of a country.
I hate jonathan not the writer.. Jona want to make the office of the president look like thar of a head master... Imagine such a post on international pages... Thank God i choose to vote him out no matter how long its takes... Buhari still on my mind...
. <<100%Nigerian>>
These kids won't read this, they think it's too long, they don't know wat it means to have a nation torn apart from the inside.
@kennedy you're Sooooooo dumb
I like Buhari, but I won't tolerate an international news organisation or anyone insulting our president. When they insult our president, they insult all of us. Please all well meaning Nigerians should condemn this, whether APC or PDP.
For those of you saying they are right with that rubbish and senseless publication, you are the most useless people I have seen on earth for the acknowledgement you are giving, is GEJ the worst president on earth? no matter how bad your father is can you let people throw him stones? They should be sanctioned and no two ways about it, if you don't know what to say always learn to shut you mouths!!!
Aljajeera is isis mouth piece
We all have freedom of speech and are free to say whatever we want about anybody,including Obama.
You're sick. Seek help please.

Mr Irabo abi Iyabo stay there and be supporting rubbish this issue of election have beclouded ur sense of reasoning, remember what happen in France last year
To the press man, for calling Nigerian president bad luck, May bad luck follow u to work, May bad luck be ur wife, children, neighbors, may bad luck kiss you in the morning, do lunch with you and sleep at night with you!!!!
I bet most of the ppl here didn't even take time to read the article b4 venting their opinion. As we all speak over 200 girls are still missing, impunity's the very order of this administration, soldiers have been killed due to lack of equipment, not one single corrupt public official has been sacked under this administration, girls have been reportedly raped in IDP camps, trafficking is been reported in the camps as well, the list goes on. For God's sake what is our crime as Nigerians? Ask urself. Now the author of the article isn't just one nonentity out of job but a senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies,Addis Ababa office. If u haven't read the article, please do and make sense out of it b4 we curse ourselves out. If the author of the article thinks GEJ is badluck or goodluck is matter of opinion. God bless Nigeria.
Oliver Uju just listen to how smart u sounded...SMH
Can we ask GEJ why a camera phone of less than 10,000 naira have clearer video than NTA and the coverage for his PRESIDENTIAL interview tonight?

na wa oo for people
@Toronto finest,you just got it right! The man pretends to be good but allows idiots do the dirty job.He's been fooling Nigerians all the time this way.But the scales have fallen off.now we know all the truth.
All Jazeera should know better not to have quoted same way, it is very unprofessional and inciting, needless say that the author obviously lack wisdom and only went through school it did not go through him. Little wonder people like him have shildren who are not doing well.
His(their) opinion does not count. GOODLUCK 2015 and beyond. Under the Umbrella ella ella eey eey eey *inRihanna'svoice*
Buhari won't take this as a president...Trust me!
Educated illiterate.
As a nation, that article shouldnt go unanswered for, forget about the president, as long as he is still the president of our Great Nation, its an insult on the Presidency, its office and the nation at large
what's inappropriate abt dat...is not a BADLUCK personnel
I don't like GEJ, but this is disrespectful. He's a president for crying out loud, that respect should be there
Does the president respect the 180 million people he governs?
What do you expect from an Islamic News Channel - insulting the president of a nation.
Can you imagine a Nigerian TV station doing that to a sitting president of an Islamic state?
Aljazeera is promoting an islamic agenda. It is the news channel of Moslem Brotherhood. So as far as I am concerned, they can go and hang.
Goodluck Ebele jonathan is Nigeria's president and will return to Aso Rock come March 28.
