Dipo Eniola:

 

Your above question and its corollaries should be directed to your uncle Obasanjo who, believing Jonathan would be his puppet whereby, he Obasanjo would be indirectly in-charge of determining after he left office who and which sections of Nigeria gets what, when and how foisted Jonathan on Nigeria. His self-serving agenda backfired and he turned against the man he had foolishly believed would be his puppet President.

 

His other reason was to spite the people of the South-East to prove that a southern minority served as President before an Igbo President of Nigeria. You know Obasanjo, like most of you his Yoruba ethnic members are jealous of the Igbo and his can-do prowess. I wish that Jonathan had governed like a real Ijaw man, with no nonsense attitude to guarantee his elected two terms in office. And I hope other South-South ethnic nations have witnessed your usual Yoruba betrayal and political chicanery against their son, a first minority elected President of Nigeria.

 

If President Jonathan's Presidency "ended in disaster" as you stated, it is because the Yorubas of your kind wished him and his fellow Ijaws such ending. And such indeed, "is regrettable". Now, you folks of the SW should declare owambe and dance to your heart's desired content. For a Nigerian like me, it is not what happens now in this election that worries me. It is the day after. And I hope you know what that means.

 

Cheers.

Subject: The irony and sadness of a president from minority ethnic group

 

Folks:

 

If Buhari's ascendancy to the Presidency can reduce corruption by a mere 10-15 per cent, then his election may after all worth all the efforts.  The irony and sadness in all of this is that the joy of first electing the person from a minority ethnic group as president ended in disaster is regrettable. It would have been nice if it were not so.  I continue to ask, how did a man like Goodluck Jonathan rise to the important position of the President of Nigeria? He obviously is clueless; ill-prepared; ill-suited for the office. His educational background is questionable. He lacks charisma. He speaks poorly. His diction is horrible. He could not read and deliver what had been written for him. His appearance on the world stage lacks sophistication. Overall, it as an understatement to say that he is weak and very incompetent. Thus, with his inadequacies, Jonathan can never grow on the job even if he spends 20 years on the exalted position of President of Nigeria.  He is that bad.  I hope he leaves quietly. He will be doing Nigeria and Nigerians a lot of good by not challenging the results of the election.

General IW:

 

You are demagoguing right about now on this topic. Let me ask a question: do you agree that your fellow general, Olusegun Obasanjo is corrupt? Now if I ask what evidence do you have? If it quacks like a duck and waddle like a duck then it is a damn duck. No evidence necessary. Yours below resembles one of Prof. Adeboye who is always asking for references and evidence when it is one of his own but quick to characterize others.
