Goodluck Jonathan is no messiah

Goodluck Jonathan says he will set up a facebook account to meet with his constituents online. Do they have electricity to log on to facebook?

I say do not expect much from a man who has gotten everything in politics without lifting an arm.

He is not a spectacular person and we should stop hailing him like a messiah.

The only thing has going for him is that after a long time under the slow Yar Adua, we now have a president who is healthy and can walk without stumbling, can talk without sneezing and can clap without needing to have drips passed into his veins to regain energy afterwards.

What did he achieve as governor in Bayelsa? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves.

We should begin asking him to deliver on electoral reforms so that at least we have credible elections next year.

Congrats Obama!

I stayed up all night watching CNN's Situation Room as the results started to flow in. I dozed off around 4am and was woken by my nephew around 6am to see Obama delivering his victory speech. I had missed the early part, nontheless, I was overwhelmed with joy to realise he had won at last.

I quickly dialed up my Dad, who interestingly was not yet aware of the victory, to share the moment with him.

In the office later we shared some good time and had some drinks as well as posing for fotos with the dailies, to really etch the day in history.

America, you have done well!

Yar Adua: Est-il mort?

Why is there a deafening silence from Aso Rock about Yar Adua's health?

Can we please know the true state of health of the president?

Who is gaining from the absence of the president?

Who will gain from the rudderless state of the nation's sailing ship?

Questions but no answers.

Somebody out there who knows please enlighten me.
