Can they stop calling a hero already....
ReplyDeleteThis guy is a loser, a clueless adult who gets things he never deserved... at least one of the reasons why he is being called a hero
We will never ever have cause to appreciate him,.....he did nothing memorable, he accepted defeat because he is a follower not a leader....
@Anon 4:53, u totally missed it, and u r an ingrate if not u wouldn't b dis irrational wit ur judgement.
DeleteWht a shame dat some Nigerians r so blind wit wht it takes to b in leadership position. If u were given d opportunity to b d President of Nigeria I don't think u wil achieve half of wht GEJ achieved while in office.
GEJ tried, and he d wht he could do afterall he is only human, and we don't expect him to do more than his capacity.
God bless him abundantly, and I wish him well. Thumbs up to him, and more power to his elbows.
I hope dat time happens in dis lifetime. Linda take note!
DeleteI pray dt such a day neva come Wike. Bcos anylife dt wil mek us aprciate Jona is cloz to hell fire. May ur words go down ur belly alone Mr. Gov
DeleteWe r appreciate him now ,its only foolish people that doesn't know what Gej saved Nigeria form
ReplyDeleteSuicide bomber kills self and16 others outside mosque in Maiduguri(SEE HERE)
We appreciate him cuz he did d right thing. Talking about saving? He ain't save shit.
DeleteTill then. Thank you
ReplyDeleteOk, I hear u wike
ReplyDeleteOnly the wise and knowledgable ones will appreciate this statement.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing to remember him with. The memory of his administration has gone with the wind. Nigeria is not any other african country, he had no other option than to negotiate a soft landing by conceeding defeat

ReplyDeleteDo you know what you are saying....

ReplyDeleteYes ooô true talk
ReplyDeleteWike must be mad.in future!!!
ReplyDeleteGeorge Bush said the same thing after he left the American economy and reputation in tatters!!! Please we want to appreciate a President while he is there by being eyewitnesses to his excellence and accomplishments. Some Nigerians are just jokers!!!
ReplyDeleteGerrout. I don't blame u cos una dey lavish taxpayer's monies. Leaving the country in debt. Making thunder fire ur mouth. Wat has GEJ done for Rivers State,how far with East West Road and Refinery Road. How cum a whole Bayelsa State do not have a sound airport. Passing. Thru Bayelsa state,there is no trace of Former President's presence. Mcheww.
ReplyDeleteHEARD!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat members? Rivers assembly is full of ex militants and kidnappers now, the once Wike used to kill and intimidate voters. Wike is there because this family helped him to frustrate Ameachis government but they will soon know his real color. He is just tagging on because he needs their support at the tribunal. But he won't survive it, and if he does him and Faka madam Jonathan will fall out soon after. Let's wait and see.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk
ReplyDeletePosterity will indeed vindicate you. It is not your fault that the house of assembly did not pass the gay rights bill. US, UK, Obasanjo(the strong man of Nigeria holding it in a strangle hold) etc. Were all against you. US and UK are now ready to work with Buhari to fight Boko Haram because
ReplyDeletehe together with the APC members has
mortgaged us to them. God is the ultimate judge. He is watching. He is the one that will vindicate you at the end.
D only positive tin jona wud be remembered for is conceding defeat..dats all..but as a former president, he will be remembered 4 crashing our economy, 4 being a weak leader and for aiding and abetting highly corrupt criminals under his administration.

ReplyDeleteWow! Dis is wholesome, and God bless them abundantly. Thumbs up to GEJ, and more power to his elbows.
ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteThat's my Governor. Receive GRACE to function at full capacity in your NEW office my inlaw. Godbless U for standing by GOODLUCK & PATIENCE.
ReplyDeleteOf cos we wl appreciate him whether he do gud or bad.
ReplyDeleteOf cos we wl appreciate him whether he do gud or bad.
ReplyDeleteAbeg make we hear word.
ReplyDeleteWike could be sentimental in his statement but also entitled to his own opinion. High time we measure the performances of our leaders on the impact of their administration on the poor and not speaking from the favoritism enjoyed like Wike.
ReplyDeleteMr Wike you can continue to appreciate your gej, it's non of our business. An reasonable Nigerian knows that gej administration was full of corruption and impunity.
ReplyDeleteIMPROVE STANDARD OF LIVING?? YOU ARE A MADMAN WIKE
ReplyDeleteAfter d hardship in d country while he was ruling , den we will appreciate him while he's gone . If Wike thinks dats a Gud thing den he's not alright.
ReplyDeleteWe know dis sir
ReplyDeleteYes ofcos..all the people
ReplyDeletethat benefited from
him will always remember
and appreciate him.
Yes what governor wike said is very correct, Dr Goodluck Jonathan has done his bit and now new government is in place let him also do his best to improved the leaving standard of Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteLong Live Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Guy shut the fuck up. The blood of those u killed to become gov will also cry on your head in future. Fool
ReplyDeleteOf course he is right.
ReplyDeleteIt is only a matter of time before Nigerians realise that he (GEJ) wasn't so bad after all.

God and prosterity will vindicate you Jonathan. CNN just reported that a whooping 200million people have been eleviated from hunger and starvation this past couple of years and most of them are from West Africa. We all know that 3/4 of these figurea are from Nigeria all thanks to the Jonathan administration policies. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate him for handing over peacefully already.
ReplyDeleteCNN just reported that a whooping 200million people have been eleviated of hunger and starvation over the past couple of years and most of them from West Africa which inevitably means Nigeria. The only thing they missed out was putting in place socio economic policies and direct welfare policies that will uplift the living standard of the very poor which makes up most of the population. The result was grumbling and disatisfaction from a huge part of the country. They tried to remedy that with the N5billion ear marked for buying cooking stoves for the rural women but it came very late. They should have also worked on employment more. But alround he tried with transportation and foi and some other policies that helped to grow our GDP. He accomplished all this without looking at the US or Uk. This Buhari's latest marriage with the G7 and western world is a bit dodgy. He should thread carefully. I would like to see how it all pans out though. Maybe we would eventually find out that they mean well because history has thought us that for these nations "nothing goes for nothing"
ReplyDeleteHe's correct
ReplyDeleteYes, gbam gbammer, gbammest! I've been saying it. We MUST appreciate our dear ex president jn the future. He's a good man. He meant well. If he didn't, he would av won this election either by hook or crook. I love you Dr Goodluck Jonathan. Fare Thee Well

ReplyDeleteWike is worse than an infidel.
ReplyDeleteWell said Sir
ReplyDeleteHis a failure, more like a follower than a leader, he lacks the charisma to lead
ReplyDeleteWhat you said is correct my able governor.
ReplyDeleteThis reckless statement shld b enough 2 make this wiki on a man RESIGN his gvnorship. He probably will b worst than Jonathan.
