President Goodluck Jonathan has said he is not desperate to continue in office..He was Speaking at the public launch of a book, “The People’s Choice: The story of President Goodluck Jonathan written” by Rev. Fr. Charles Imokhai.He said
“My second message is to all of us, especially those of us who are politicians, that for all of us who want to serve, we should be ready to serve but we should not be desperate to serve our people. “Sometimes, people ask me that Mr. President, from what we read and what we see, we see you still smiling and unruffled.
“Yes, nothing will really ruffle me because I am willing and ready to serve but I am not desperate to serve. That is what keeps me going.
“All of us who want to hold offices from the least, a counselor of a ward or a chairman of a council, a member of the state House of Assembly or member of House of Representatives, Senate, Governor or the President, if all of us are always ready and willing to serve our people but we are not desperate in that our mission, then of course Nigeria will be a better place for all of us.”

posterity will judge anybody or group of people that is responsible for constant power outage in isolo, holy savior area in particular. all phcn officials and their staff, whether it is politically motivated or not like the current issue of fuel hoarding by petrol stations around the area thereby causing artificial and unwarranted scarcity, the people were denied of power (which they paid for) and also petrol for their generators to use in their respective homes after work this warm period. As they keep the people in dark and penury, so shall their generation witness darkness up to the fourth. according to the irreversible law of nature, what goes around comes back around. he who holds me down holds himself, he who takes something from a child and raises his hand up, one day, he shall feel pain on the hand and brings it down while the patience waiting child takes back his ware jejely.

Jona ! Jona !! Jona !!! You can never smell aso Rock again, if you rig the election. Your end will worst more than Gadaffi or Samuel Doe of Liberia. I was surprise whenever I read many of our people comment here concerning Jonathan about coming election, why many Nigerian like suffering and smiling. We are not after party or tribe matter on this coming election, all we want is better changes for our dear country Nigeria. Let's forget about tribalism or religion matter for now, lets fight for better Nigeria. We are all tired of dumb and corrupt leader, nothing to write about for 6 Years Jona has ruled us. Most of our people has sold their future because of peanut money they gave them, that's why we see many negative comments here about Buhari. Nigerian ! Nigerian !! Nigerian !!!, let's wake up from our slumber and fight for the future of our dear country. Many European countries were always ask us, what are we doing in their country with all the minerals resources we have in Nigeria. There is no single day I woke up and happy about the situation in my country Nigeria, because of greedy, wicked and selfish leaders we have. May God intervene and deliver Nigeria from wicked and blood sucker Jona on this coming election.
