12 People Who Ruined the Jonathan's Administration.

 
I don't know the criteria they used to get these analysis but it is worth reading. If there is one thing that hasn't work well for President Goodluck Jonathan, it is the calibre of men and women who he has appointed in various positions.
Here are 12 personalities that have further dented president's personal image and image of his administration.

1. Alhaji Bamanga TukurHis disastrous tenure as PDP's national chairman was the biggest game changer for the PDP from which it might never recover. Bamanga's tenure also coincided is the period when three major opposition parties were consolidating into one major opposition party, but the chairman face to recognised the emerging, Instead, he encouraged the party leader to settle personal scores within the party. It was a cover for Bamanga to also settle personal scores of his own. He suspended a state governor for refusing to answer his phone calls. He watched askance as seven governor formed a faction called 'the new PDP' (nPDP), and he didn't care a hoot when five governors jumped ship and joined the APC.

2. Chief Edwin ClarkAs soon as Dr Goodluck Jonathan rose to the presidency, this Gowon-era Information Minister created for himself a position hitherto unknown in Nigeria politics, that of the president's ethnic godfather. No yoruba pontentate occupied the post during Olursegun Obasanjo's eight years and even the feeble President Umaru Yar'adua has no such godfather. Rather than use his extra-constitutional position to steady the presiden's position, Clark use it to create numerous enemies for Jonathan through his use of intemperate language and regular assaults at dissenting folks.

Permission to make Mistakes

Life is about making mistakes and taking corrections. Tell me, who hasn't made any mistakes? The good news about mistakes is that there is room for reflection and correction.

The chances of not making mistake is 0.00% which means it is impossible not fail sometimes. I draw huge strength from making mistakes and meeting people who have made mistakes, because there is a different lesson in each mistake made. I remember one time I had to stay something and I Just made unreasonable mistakes with those words and everyone laughed. I thought to myself, "they are just words, why are they laughing". I felt bad and tortured myself a couple of days and I keep working on getting better. My experiences in mistakes teaches me that people will always laugh at you when you make the slightest mistake even your friends, yes they will. Don't be angry when they laugh, only learn from what has made them laugh.

WhipLash: THE Latest Political Prostitutes By Etcetra.

This Etcetera's Saturdays post is always interesting especially when he hits hard on his co-celebrities. Read to see what he had to say...

Some say Afro Candy is a prostitute. Some say she’s not or at least, not yet. A few others say she’s a porn star, which is not in the same league as prostitution. Porn stars are taxed, prostitutes are not. So Afrolicious baybay, you have to up your game to get into the league of prostitutes, if it is what you really desire. My suggestion would be; instruct your agent or booker to get you appearances in any of the political campaign videos, so you can put to use that floppy behind your mama gave you. And if you are lucky enough, you can get cameos and wiggle that thing around the aspirants themselves. You have to get your bum (sorry your hands) bloodied to earn the highly coveted “Political prostitute” tag. Now my Candilicious Afrolistic baybay, these are a few names of the latest political prostitutes in the country: Olamide, Banky W, Don Jazzy, Flavour, Duncan Mighty, D banj, Mercy Johnson, Ibinabo, Ini Edo, Mama Gee, Naeto C, Joseph Yobo, Daddy Showkey, Kanu Nwankwo, and Sammie Okposo.

A group  named the Greater Lagos Alliance has called for the disqualification of the Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives' Congress, APC, Akinwunmi Ambode in the 2015 governorship poll. The group, which claims to be non-partisan, hinged its call on the recent discovery that Ambode allegedly has a history of mental illness. hmm how true?

This recent discovery is a written statement signed by the group's president, Dr Lanre Adeoye.

See the Press Release from The Greater Lagos Alliance. Read below:

“We have been working behind the scenes for the enthronement of a new government that would take off from where Governor Fashola stops from. After assessing the two major candidates (Ambode and Jimi Agbaje of the People’s Democratic Party) and made our position known publicly on who to support based on their competencies and comparative advantages, we are sad to announce the withdrawal of our support for the candidate of the APC.”Adeoye, a successful American-based neuro-surgeon, hinged the group’s shocking decision on an alleged chanced happening on the condition of Ambode when he came to the US for routine checkup.
