  1. This goes to show the true nature of GEJ. had he not been surrounded by wolves and allowed himself to be manipulated by those self serving advisers he would have been one great president. But I must give give him his due for this singular act of statesmanship. It has acquitted him of his many failures. You have won my respect and admiration again

  2. I love this man Jonathan. You made me eat my words. I'm sorry for all the comments and harsh words I hurled at you. It was because of bad governance caused by people you surrounded yourself with. My respect your excellency Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. This is a lesson Muhamadu Buhari must learn. We have voted for you so that you can perform better. Discuss well with Goodluck so he can share his wealth of experiences with you.

    1. The people around him are wolves, they knew his weekness and used it very well, coupled with a bad wife that could not protect him. Jonathan was indeed week. I wish him all best. Those wolves will simply walk away.

  3. Buhari should also learn how to accept defeat at all time not cause violence

  4. GEJ, the usual pathological portrait of a Wolf in Sheep Clothing.

    In my humble opinion and assessment, GEJ was snookered into quickly conceding defeat after the worldly acknowledged public shameful behavior.

    All glory, honor and thanks to Almighty God for the wisdom, composure and manner in which Prof. Jega handled Elder Orubebe, making the evil scheme of GEJ and PDP to seriously backfire.

    GEJ was forced to quickly concede defeat knowing fully well that he can never be exonerated from the shameless manner (which for the records, GEJ has never officially rebuked to this day) that Elder Orubebe portrayed our dear Nation Nigeria.

    Let it be known to all well meaning Nigerians that as we speak, GEJ has not in his private or official capacity dissociated himself from the public shameful behaviour of Elder Orubebe.

    By this, I really wonder whether majority of Nigerians have not lost the sense of knowing what is truly right and wrong.

    May the good Lord in His infinite mercies complete the deliverance of Nigerians and Nigeria at large in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.

    1. Fool shut up your gutter mouth! You think most people would have vowed for buhari, if there was a better third candidate. And most people did not vote because they would never vow for a power drunk, violent preaching person like buhari. Whether Goodluck was forced or not he has become more honorable now than ever before and I will continue to love him as my president. I know most people were expecting Jonathan to try to oppose the election and thereby bring violence. But he put you all to shame. Let him be! You have buhari now! He never would have given this country the peace we enjoy today.

  9. President Jonathan is a hero. He is worth being a UN President. He has conquered defeat by conceding defeat. Had it been any other leaders we have ever had, you and I today will be hiding somewhere because of war. Now GEJ had brought glory, honour, respect and dignity to this nation. Change has actually come to Nigeria, and is not without GEJ. Your excellency sir, GOD BLESS YOU

  10. President GEJ should be commended for conceeding defeat and congratulating president elect GMB but that singular act does not mean his 6YRS in office wasn't a failure.

    Well, first i commend GEJ for his brave phone call even when the results were not declared.., yes, i am a Buharite but this has definitely earned my respect for GEJ, he for the first and very important time stood to his word "my political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian". Despite the prophets of doom predictions of a division, blood, chaos, it took GEJ to bring those to non effect. I have always said that GEJ is a good president, but probably not for the current condition the Country is, we need an iron hand ( like jerry rawlings-ghana saga )to break the wings of the high and mighty which will now pave way for a calm, cool headed person like GEJ. maybe in the next 8-16 years. I wish him all the best... a lesson to the women... support your husband from behind not taking the front wheel...mama peace or mama war was the beginning of the downfall of GEJ, but i hope some day he rises again. God bless GEJ, God bless Buhari and above all God Bless Nigeria.

  14. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a man that well brought up and trained in a good virtue and norms of the society and displayed it to the core. Jonathan remain the best president among all the president we have since indpendent. Somebody who have penchant for education and development of the youths and women. Because he knows that for any nation to be successful you must develop the youths and women. Thanks very much our lovely and adored president. May you live long and reap the reward of your labour. Your children and wife will not die before you. All those that brought you and your government down and ridicule you will also be ridiculed and brought down in all their efforts. Your enemies will lik the dust of the ground according to yoruba incantation which says arigisegi to ba se igi a fori ara re ru. gbogbo ibi oso, ibi aje lori aya re Patience ati awon omo re, be lo se ma ri fun won, bi igbin su a fehin re ko, bi ajapa su a fehin re ko ebo ota ko pa ota.
