The former president is a year older today and no former associate placed a birthday message for him in any of the national dailies, something that they all did when he was the president. When a Twitter user pointed this out, former presidential aide Reuben Abati reacted. Biko what does what he wrote mean in English? Meanwhile he wished his formr boss a Happy Birthday.

Reuben Abati please don't worry yourself.. We already know GEJ has no friends. Fair whether friends..
Happy birthday my presido👍
The reason they didn't wish him a happy birthday in any national daily was because the national goodies wouldn't be coming from him again. Let the wise ones in power now learn.

They only want to come close when they are benefiting from you
It means figuratively that the world would only associate themselves with you when the going is good.
Hmmmmmm....
Such is life!
When u r in power fake friends wil flock around u but when u leave u truly knw those who r truly ur friends.
Wht a shame!

Thats humans for you. No power no friend... Double your hustle
Is he just knowing dat only a person with power and affluence has friends??? Linda take note!

Oil money is what the world will lick with you. Indirectly, it means people will flock around you when you're in position of power and money
Happy Birthday to u my able president ur humility nd gud hat is amazing. God's blessings alwaz.
Means when the going is good people will rally round u. When it is bad they turn their back. He didn't finish it. The end is 'won kii bani lawoeje' literally people will pick the hand of oil, but won't luck the hand socked in blood. So oooooo true Linda
Well that isn't fair enough and... but if God wishes him happy birthday, what else... just thank God for life Mr Jonathan. Psalm 1:3
Disloyal fucks.
Such is life
Linda pls read ur write ups well b4 posting them,pls
People only flock to those from whom they will benefit! Literal meaning
Dis is wht usually happens when u hav fake friends around u. By their fruits u shall know them.

Mumu!!!
He helped me so there 4 kitikpa racha kwa gi nti
Aboki did you see the birthday messages for GEj and all the hailings that is what your Buhari can never get ,he is a wicked man ,he is not a democrat
Choi!!.. Which Farm was he the president of biko??
It literally means "the finger with palm oil is the one people want to lick"
Oil and Gas finger licking people.. Lick ham dry!!!
OMG. NNE Write in your language. What type of catastrophic offload is this.! Just write your dialect, people will translate
Why would they celebrate him when all his associate knew he was incompetent and a fool. Well meaning "Na Palm wey get red oil the world go follow u lick not blood". Hehehe
😨😨😰😓😫😰😩😩😩😩
NA HAND WEY GET OIL NA EM PEOPLE DEY LICK...LINDA THAT'S KINDA WAH IT MEANS
Ok! You did this on purpose . Just to draw attention abi! Cos even an illitrate won't write something like this.
Na so na. Conditional friends!
Don't mind dem ungrateful fools
Na only when you dey position 9ja man go know you. Once you are out of it. On your own.
Na so life be ooo
You drop your message I didn't see it as a big deal when he was a president majority people take the steps because of personal interest. Now is no more in charge so they face their own business.
MEANING LITERAL: The people of the world would only lick a oil stained hand.
PROVERBIAL MEANING: Success has many friends.
I don't understand what Abati wrote with yoroba. Eyaah! Maybe the reason why GEJ former aids refuse to wish him HBD on news paper is becos GEJ is not longer in power anymore as a president and most of GEJ former aids where criminals nd sycophants, GEJ aids where not there to work nd thank GEJ they where there to loot, nd milk Nigeria dry.
You nor know before,I just love GEJ with the way he handle things,Nigerians hero. TIMILEYIN BLESSING
Main reason I stopped helping people.... They turn their back against u when they no longer benefit from you....
Humans! All these intentional and wrong vocabulary! Just to get noticed on this blog. Try harder
Shut up U fool u asking who jonathan has helped? Aboki I know u are an IDIOT for real but I never knew u are such a dumb ass too. So p's forgive me for realizing just now, common gerarah here shit face.
Wait! Re u sure u re human? What kind of English is this? Even common birthday u can not spell. No be by force to comment oo
Oh dear! I weep for you Omeiza.
Mumu the devil worshiper called allah. Aboki your allah is a devil
Where did this one come from @omeiza go and enroll for English class I mean basic English first.. you can show your friends dis comment so they can help u out with reading it to your understanding dats if they all are not dis dumb too.
Omeiza, I want to believe with everything in me that you re doing this to lighten the mood of people on here... am still battling to recover from the bomb u dropped yesterday now you ve done even worst. Please, if this is really you writing English, i'd rather u quit please!
Na so lyf be naaa mteeewch HBD Mr Presido
Linda pls post my comment nw
That is the CHANGE Nigerians cried for
READ HOW I MET HIM, LOL
That is the more reason one has to be man of his own mind, never try to satisfy everyone you will end up dissatisfied. Such is life.....
Happy Birthday my Hero... May God continue to bless and keep u @GEJ
"Owo epo ni omo araye bani la, won kii bani la ti eje" literarily it means the children of the world lick oily and not bloody fingers with you. Oil simulating good and blood simulating trouble or bad times.
Well, uncle jona also let them down, by conceding. No more avenue for free money. So a lot of them blame him but can't come out to say it.
That's the way the sh*t goes. No one has many friends. rich or poor, former president or not. acquaintances maybe, but not friends.
Next time ehn, it's HIS BIRTHDAY n not HIM BATHDAY, OTHERS n not OTARS, SHALL n not SHELL, n finally it's FORMER n not FARMER.

Hian!!!!!!! Omeiza Jagbojo..... Is that English language? what are you writing biko nu?
Haa. Please! Please!! Please!!! Go and refund the money spent on your education to whoever is / was your benefactor.
Linda, You never tay enough for Lagos for you to sabi Yoruba language?
True translation = "The ex-president's incompetency caused a lot of this".
This is not new. In politics there are no permanent friends; only permanent interests
This ur write-up/ reply must be a joke yh. Trust me, it is not funny!! So stop!!! *straight face*
Hand of palm oil,
hand of rosey
hand of versace

They shuld wish him hbd so buhari will come for them wit one allegation nw
Looool finally!!! One yoruba Linda doesn't get to understand hehehehehehe..... he literally means all of em former associates are busy bodies...... .... na oil money dem sabi follow person chop.
Hmm.... Gbagaun!!!!!
Its politics it ain't personal. Its all about permanent interest and not permanent friendship
What he meant is that :
literally speaking: people will only lick your hand when there's oil on it but will not lick it when there's blood on it.
Figuratively: the world will only recognise you when things are good, but will leave you when challenges come.
Aboki dey ask "who he help"
Okay na
"Who u serve?"
U dey help who nor serve u?

Choiii! Linda.
Let me contribute to the translation for you.
it's a Yoruba proverb and it's actually two contrasting statements:
A statement contrasting between Palm oil and blood.
The color looks similar but tastes different,
Palm oil is Sweet while blood is not.
"Owo epo ni araye nbani la",
"won kii bani la ti eje".
Literally; People gather to lick oily hands with you ,
When the hand becomes bloody, they turn away.
Contextually :when you are enjoying, people come around you, but when one is not enjoying, they turn their backs.
