I think I am the most criticised President in the whole world, but I want to tell this audience that before I leave, I will be the most praised President,” said President Goodluck Jonathan at the opening of the 52nd Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
Hey guys, I guess you know that pointing fingers is not my style, hahaha, just as I know that it will be difficult to find a single Nigerian who hasn’t pointed fingers at President Goodluck Jonathan since he became President. But really, can so many fingers be pointed at a single individual all at the same time? Some people have gone to the extent of saying that since Jonathan took office, everything has gone to hell in a handbasket. Others have held him responsible for everything that has gone wrong in the country, from the tear in their pants to the economy. Trust me: Nigerians are beginning to agree that when it comes to assigning blame, look to Jonathan first. There are some hardliners who don’t care if Jonathan wasn’t President during the civil war. He must have been thinking about it, and that’s good enough reason for them. They even say that if he hadn’t been sticking his nose into government, the civil war wouldn’t have happened. Funny, Nigerians have found the perfect target for dealing with their bad days. Late to work? Blame Jonathan! Did the soup in the fridge melt when you weren’t looking? It’s Goodluck Jonathan. Can’t find your smelling socks? Jonathan! Your baby pees on the chair, again? Jonathan. The possibilities are endless! Hey, are we not just being unfair to Goodluck Jonathan? We blame him for all and everything. Even for things that are not his fault. Let me ask you something sir or madam, if Jonathan is to blame for everything wrong in Nigeria today, what becomes of the previous presidents under whose regimes most of these problems started?

On Tuesday evening on my way back from NTA, I stopped at the Bar Beach to buy suya. I was a little bit early because I met the aboki lighting his charcoal. As I waited, I saw two weird looking rastas looking like archangels Michael and Gabriel in their white Cele garments walk down to just about five yards from the water, raised their holy robes in unison like atilogwu dancers trying to master a new dance routine and bent down and began to defecate. Couples of minutes later, I heard them walking back complaining of how dirty and smelly the beach had become from what it used to be. As they passed by me, the taller one said “omo naija, presido no dey try at all. See as this place don yamayama finish, dem no dey see as those oyinbo beach be for inside film wey we dey watch?” At that point, I couldn’t hold back my anger. I just had to say something: “Shebi na una just shit finish for that place so? And una get mouth dey blame the president. Una see him shit for there?”

We are having a distant relationship with the truth in this country. We have developed that rare ability to be hypocritical and not so much as give a damn whether we are equally guilty of the things we are blaming on others. In truth, Goodluck Jonathan should roll up his sleeves, spit on his palms and get to work on a lot of things. We keep saying that corruption escalated under his regime but why do we keep failing to associate it with the fact that these corrupt individuals are Nigerians? I listened to some custom officers saying that If it wasn’t for Goodluck Jonathan’s backward policies, everything at the Nigerian borders would be perfect. Yes, let us keep dumping everything on Goodluck Jonathan. Even our own responsibilities as citizens. He’s the reason our custom and police officers are more interested in collecting bribes than fighting crime and checking for contraband goods coming into the country. It is also Jonathan’s fault that the security operatives at the Lagos airport have all turned beggars. Should the president also take the rap for the Director-General of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria not being able to see that the nation is littered with fake products? Maybe Goodluck Jonathan should be with him daily and point him towards fake products and manufacturers. The fight to save this country does not begin or stop at Janathan’s table. It must be an all Nigerian battle. Let the pastors stop praying for corrupt politicians and tell them to their faces to stop stealing public funds. If all drivers have their complete vehicle papers and obey traffic laws, there will be no need to give out money to the police and we will be on our way to a better society.

Ask yourself where your governor got the billions he spends on frivolities? People in the rural areas of Akwa Ibom state are living in thatched houses and we are building another stadium? Have you tried asking what the Abia State Government did with the state’s allocation for eight years? Do you think President Jonathan will be allowed a minute of sleep if he failed to remit monies due to the states? So why then do we pour all the blames on him? Your governor owns empty estates in Dubai and factories in South Africa when people of their states are homeless and jobless, is that Jonathan’s fault too? Where did we get the preposterous notion that President Jonathan took office and people started having trouble finding jobs? Did we have a zero unemployment rate in the country before President Jonathan? Millions of Nigerians are working their asses out and dying as contract staffs and casual workers, where is the NLC? Is it not aware of the appalling working conditions Nigerian workers are subjected to by multinationals? Of course, it is all Jonathan’s fault. Last time I checked, Jonathan was a president or a magician. Should he be doing the job of the NLC too, supervising every sector of the country at the same time? Let us be truthful to ourselves, since when have we had good roads in this country? Were there roads in the country that Jonathan destroyed? Have we had electricity in the country before President Jonathan? We say Boko Haram started as a result of poverty and lack of education in the North, were there schools in the North that Jonathan destroyed? Trust me, the architects of Boko Haram know what they’re talking about when they say it is all Jonathan’s fault.

For everyone out there, below are a list of things Goodluck Jonathan is yet to be blamed for, so go ahead and make your pick and let the blame game continue: Cancer, AIDS, racism, air pollution, sin, child porn, human meat at Jankara market, home video, obesity, Drake sleeping with everyone’s chic, Kim Kardashian’s nude picture, tribalism and every other kind of ism, Arsenal’s trophyless seasons,

It's hard for people to see the truth from the president but easy to lay accusing fingers on him.... hopefully after 2014 all the noisemakers will hide...and be seen running around with lawyers...trying to upturn an election that's already won by the president

That jonathan has exactly 159 days to spend in Aso Rock is no longer debatable! The only controversy there is, whether he is heading to Kirikri or otuoke!

#Change

I laugh in isiokpo.

The margin that will rock this elections go dey people like America wonder.

APC didn't just get it right with their selection.

I can hear the sound from my gameboy ...

..Flawless Victory.

But u don't feel sorry for the parents whose children were kidnapped in chibok or the several people who have lost numerous loved ones or the fact a lot of people in the realm of 100s of 1000s would spend their christmas in refugee camp. when I read foolish articles whose sole aim is to obfuscate the issues on ground by injecting trivialities like standing by while grown adults are taking a dump and spending your entire time observing them and hearing their comments I simply conclude that writer must be one of the numerous pseudo-intelligent individuals whose best display of intelligence should be shutting up rather than talking!

Ofcourse if u are a musician who career is failing, regional cum ethnic bigotry with sycophantic topping seems to be the best option out of your declining stream of income, so bros hustle on, sell your future for crumbs!

This peice is written for retards like you, what have you done to make Nigeria better? no matter how little, because little drops of water make the mighty ocean. The northerners that were busy chopping sha-sha with public money instead of providing good education for their children, now many are into boko haram business, man must wak, any how. So blame your governors for the failure of the north not GEJ because the north had already failed long before GEJ came to power. Secondly what were the governors doing when boko haram was at it's infancy, I thought prevention is better than cure.

Thank God there are more wise people than retards in this country. Fvck the anti progress crowd.

Truth be told, most of the these issues have been there before GEJ but many of them grew in uncommon proportion during GEJ's government and he is doing nothing to arrest them.
If GEJ had the institutions of EFCC & ICPC strengthened, the likes of TA Orji of Abia would be have known for sure that their post May 29, 2015 is the prison domain.

oh shut up....if you don't have any meaningful thing to say, keep your mouth shut. Jonathan is going to win next year election, then I will see who will be going to kirikiri prison if not buhari.
empty drums makes the loudest noise, you probably don't have a voters card

[size=15pt]Gej Is Being Dejected Disgraced and Embarrassed Everyday[/size]

That is why we need change

If the presidents supporters say we cant blame him when the country is not going in the right direction, let us not have a president. Period. Lets save the money we use for his salary and upkeep since he has no responsibility towards us. The fact of the matter is that the job is not for everybody. No excuses. No passing the buck. Its a job of privilege and much is expected.

Yes, abuse me all you like, because you know very well that you are one of those people who are spoiling this country. Your conscience pricks you soooooo hard that you typed that balderash above. Keep it up, GEJ till Your lord shouts Jesus is lord.

OMG do you have to bark if you don't have any meaningful thing to say? Ngeneukwenu is older than you in all ramifications and you said Shut Up asking if he/she has a voters card. Now let me see how stupid you are in your last Paragraph you said buhari is going to jail. Give me a reasonable reason why that will happen? Lets watch how you display your ignorance here again

same way Jonathan is older than him

GEJ till 2019.
No two ways about it.
Northerners should have asked their governors and LG chairmen what they were doing when Boko Haram was still at its infancy.

As for the many parents of the kidnapped children as well as the newly kidnapped 185 women in the North? My advice to them is to "get over it" and "move on". Igbo people were told the same when millions of their innocent women and children were killed by cowardly people who felt all was fair. You think your lives mean a thing to the country? Those Chibok children were always going to be child brides who would be consigned to a fate of popping out useless almajiri children anyways.
Frankly, I don't give a damn.

Presticible, acting maniacally bewildered shows the abysmal bysmal that u wilfully occupy. In simple English, the thing pain am.

Not easy being good luck Jonathan

Truly he is like Jesus Christ

A prophet not accepted by his own kin

Cast away when he truly is the saviour



Now even southerners are thinking positivelty about Buhari and it's orchestrated by propaganda.

People too blind to see. Jonathan did not start poverty, corruption or northern terrorists and he cannot end it overnight.

Very true.
