President Goodluck Jonathan said yesterday Saturday May 25th that his first
name has brought some good luck to Nigeria. While granting an
interview yesterday, the president said:
"Traditional societies attach some values to names. That is why people select good names for their children. In the scriptures sometimes, when God sends you on some special assignment, He could even direct, ‘change the name of this child from this to that. But the name in itself does not make much difference because even from my village, there is one of my peers that also answers Goodluck. Another one that is a little older than me answers Lucky from my small village and I didn’t see the good luck and lucky in them.
With the emergence of a third terror group, I don't think so, Mr president.“In terms of bringing my name to bear in Nigerian affairs, within this period, we have our challenges. Of course, you are aware that we have our security challenges. But in spite of the security challenges, the country is moving on. I will say yes, it (his name) brought some good luck to the country.”

Linda,GEJ is not the one forming the terroist groups.These are things that are bound to happen. we are in end time;of which war is one of its characteristics.Christ told us to watch out for these signs and it is staring us at the face now.with all these legalization of gay marriage in prominent countries of the world,tell me what is it if not end time.why are there happening simultaneously now? Every day with its viral news;it wasn't like this in the 19's. He who have ears let him hear what the spirit is saying.
This is the full text of the interview..if you like publish it...but stop copying where you like only..
President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday said despite the security challenges in parts of the country, his first name had brought some good luck to Nigeria.
Jonathan said this while granting an interview to a 10-year-old Nigerian girl based in California, Miss Zuriel Oduwole, on the sideline of the ongoing 21st ordinary session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Africa Union holding in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Oduwole who was said to have earlier interviewed some other African leaders is working on a documentary on the union’s 50 years of existence.
She had sought to know from Jonathan how much good luck his first name had brought to the country under his leadership.
Jonathan said religion and traditional societies attached some values to names.
This, he said, was why parents select good names for their children.
He said, “Traditional societies attach some values to names. That is why people select good names for their children.
“In the scriptures sometimes, when God sends you on some special assignment, He could even direct, ‘change the name of this child from this to that.’
“But the name in itself does not make much difference because even from my village, there is one of my peers that also answers Goodluck. Another one that is a little older than me answers Lucky from my small village and I didn’t see the good luck and lucky in them.
“In terms of bringing my name to bear in Nigerian affairs, within this period, we have our challenges. Of course, you are aware that we have our security challenges. But in spite of the security challenges, the country is moving on. I will say yes, it brought some good luck to the country.”
On the legacy he would want to leave behind at the expiration of his tenure, Jonathan said he would like to be remembered for sanitising the nation’s electoral system as well as fixing the power poor and security challenges.
“If we can stabilise the electoral process, sanitise the political environment, then we make sure that we have power in this country and of course, security, every other things will take off on its own,” the President said.
Jonathan said he would also like the sanitation going on in the electoral system to be internalised in all sectors of the country.
He said, “People should be allowed to decide who governs them, who represents them at the parliament, who runs their affair at the local government level; the country never had that opportunity and the elite were no longer interested even in voting.
“Democracy was almost left floating in the hands of people who ordinarily have no place there. So, we are sanitising the electoral process. Now, Nigerians can select who they want to be their President, who they want to be their governor, who they want to be their senator, who they want to be their House of Representatives member or even their state House of Assembly member or even chairman of their council.
“We are doing that and I want that to be internalised in all the ways we do things. I want people to remember me for that.”
Jonathan also talked of his desire to put the nation on a better stead in the area of Information Technology.
He said with technological development, power could be stabilised and then, micro, small and medium scale enterprises would be encouraged.
These, he added, are the areas that create jobs for the people, improve the economy and reduce poverty to the barest minimum.
Also, the President said for African countries to come out of the woods and take their rightful positions among the comity of nations, their leaders must deepen democracy by avoiding abuse of power and impunity.
One word*fool

Bck 2 Jona, its a pity he hs decided 2 be delusional, evn if we remove all d deaths including d plane crash, bombings, uni killings, etc. He shld name 1 economic dev he's so called goodluck hs done just 1 nd I'll rest my case.
He should pray for the same good luck that happened to Nigeria to happen to his own family and let's see the outcome
This is Not the first or the last that will have be hearing this form so call politicials.why not put this to work because I known will(Nigeria) have what it to have all this ideas to come to reality.thanks
Joke of the year ! Someone that is definitely high on some crack
Hahahaha! U on point!
Take time to study your bible. Everything that's happening in Nigeria today is simply the signs of end time. irrespective of who's rulling the country Nigeria today. Let's stop all this blames and continue to pray for the mercy of God upon our country.
He asked Amanpour to ask his father the meaning of his name. Now he knows the name has brought goodluck? Can someone tell him to stop talking? -Newyorker
Better answering Obama because in terms of security in Nigeria, it has become worsen with kidnapping and stealing everywhere compared to your predecessors. In the states, security seems a little improve compared to his predecessors. So forget name and act. Good name is right and fine but you must act and keep striving, be righteous man.

Nigeria is just an experiment.

Bt den again, jonathan has no balls @ all, nt even one, so he has just made d job easier for his bullys. His name hasn't brought ny gud luck o, its bin a really bad tenure, nt because he is a bad person per se bt because d northerners re out to frustrate him n he is a freaking dumbass n coward.

This Man is just a clown,he actually doesn't have anything to offer,wit d enormous resources in dz country,a leader after 18mths of rule can't boast of improvement in d majority of d indices of national life is a failure.there is no two ways to issue,Jona should resign honourably or d third world trait of dying in office will haunt him.
Agada u must b crazy ,wat luck has he brought,bad I suppose ,its fools like u dat wud neva say d truth.
Jonathan,are u trying to venture into comedy again, u better just leave dat office 4sum1 who can perform
Dumb ass!
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. You may think that this is just comments from just a tiny drop of Nigerians in the country BUT you should try to just place yourself ALONE without the military or police at a central area for example like Obalende and you will see what the true nature Nigerians have become. Lets see if you can survive the hardship you have brought on the people with your tenure. Where is the minimum wage you used the gain votes from people. You will only bring destruction if you come in a second time. As far as I am concerned your lilly-livered personality has only been able to make non-corrupt people corrupt and those who were already corrupt more corrupt people. You should be ashamed of yourself and causing you is just a waste of time because Lord knows that and your party and any other party have only the more corrupt people to offer us in the next election. The big question now is who will be the next Nigerian President that will not give us excuses for promises, who will make the people to help in cleansing the country of bad evils physical and spiritual. Who the Almighty Lord Most High will give to help us out of the depths of suffering that Nigeria finds itself. Whom will work together with the people to make Nigeria a respectable country where Obama can come to visit and the government won't really spend more than 500 000 Naira to welcome and NOT 500 000 000 naira as GEJ government would want to spend. I bet you that if GEJ were to go to USA they probably won't spend much to receive him. Do you know how many people in his government are not happy that Obama is not coming again? You know how much that could have gone into roads, hospitals, education, agriculture.... that his government would have spent if Obama had decided to come? Shame on you gej,,,shame on you.
cant stop laughing............ahahhahahahahahahaha
If I hear, for ya mind
Aside Terrorism may Βε̲̣̣̣̥ it's G̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡D̶̲̥̅ luck to our petrol money embezzlement our unstable light, our insufficient food A̶̲̥̅πϑ moreover our fantastic education whr children now learn new vocab lyk "my fellow widows" it is a pity guess we should join hands A̶̲̥̅πϑ change dat name to 'Prsido Lukdog Elebi Jumongthan' jst a suggestion anyway fellow 9ja's let support D new name.his first name Wa̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇ a mistake pls. Council of elders have changed it....
Sorry, is Mr Pres high on cheap drugs abi designer drugs???
i have been in shock since you came to Government with so much lack lustre leadership.
If we look up DELUSIONAL in the dictionary, this man's picture is there. Jonathan is a joke. You know how people give a sarcastic "goodluck" when they know you have a harebrained scheme... well it is the meaning of the Goodluck in Ebele Jonathan's name. YINMU
