This is so sad that these people think this idiot president GEJ deserve such accolades.This show how America wants to keep nigeria from progressing by praising this thief and mugu. Plus That aside,  wait I thought  jonathan was ijaw man, what does he have an igbo name for-my mom told me GEJ 's mom and paternal grandma is igbo, but that GEJ father is by cultural tradition an Ijaw man because of his father's paternal lineage is ijaw. If that is the case does that mean  an Hausa? Cause i always claimed both culture. My mom is ngwa and my dad is hausa-fulani paternally and ika-igbo maternally.  Why must we answer or belong only to our father's tribe and not both.
