Between President Jonathan and Nigerian People by Oluwatidamilare



Nigeria is the most populated black nation in the world, which is not disputed. Nigeria is the economy leader of the black continent, so says the economist. Nigeria has over three hundred ethnic groups; it has proven to be fact, so, not news again. Nigeria has three ‘major’ ethnic groups which dwarfs the over three hundred ‘minority ethnics’, that is one of the political turmoil in the country. Many ‘minority ethnics’ are still blaming the amalgamation of 1914. Some in the ‘majority groups’ have classified it as a ‘mistake’; it is getting bored hearing that. What has become intrigued is the love lost between the incumbent President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the citizens of this nation. President Jonathan assumed power after the death of the erstwhile president, Umar Yar’Adua. The event leading to GEJ’s emergence as the number one citizen of this nation can be classified as the manipulation of the greatest manipulator, nature.
Yet, the man Jonathan assumed full presidency on the back of one of the freest presidential election in the history of this country. People were emotional towards him during the election after all he suffered in the hands of some cabals during the indisposition of his former boss, Yar’Adua. He captivated all with his ‘shoeless’ story, which in all honesty, can serve as a motivational push to any studious person, anytime, any day. Almost four years after the romance, the opinion poll will clearly show that a significant portion of the nation which showed sympathy towards him is not impressed by his governance, or perhaps, his style of leadership.
