Ex President Jonathan Tweets His Buoyant Felicitations To Donald Trump. Obama May Be Making Faces, But Who Cares ?

As Nigeria’s President from 2010 to 2015, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan had to use all his wits to survive the fearsome political onslaught of a power drunk American president of African descent and heritage but with a Caucasian mother.
Obama seemed to have a canny disgust for progressive African leaders possibly wanting to be their personal dictator. He had designed humiliation for many of them, probably because they did not like some of his disgusting habits.
Jonathan already knew what Obama did to Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. This has not only destabilized Libya till date, Africa remains in perpetual security logjams because Obama’s government killed progressive Gaddafi and the continent remains in turmoil.
Jonathan had to lay low and accept all the humiliations, only lashing out at some brazenly shocking schemes of Obama by daring the consequences while doing the right thing.
For instance Obama’s obstinate instructions to some African leaders to accept gay and lesbian rights.
In a typical African setting, fathers would discipline errant children and flog them onto the path of righteousness without pampering them into continuing on the path of deviousness.
Where in a typical African setting would a father tolerate a man living with another man as husband and wife or a girl living with another girl as husband and wife without having biological children? An African father would call it a path to societal extinction and would have none of it.
But Obama wanted Jonathan to adopt it for Nigeria or be democratically overthrown from office. Goodluck Jonathan stoically refused to obey Barrack Obama’s dictation and instead, the Nigerian national Assembly passed a bill into law criminalizing gay and lesbian practices.
Enraged, Obama sent John Kerry to come down to Abuja and humiliate Jonathan out of office. And Obama had internal accomplices including associates of the then Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami according to a newspaper report, working together with two northwest governors and one Northeast governor to actualize the campaign so as to push Jonathan out by making him lose reelection.
The north east governor, Admiral Murtala Nyako accused Jonathan of having trained snipers bent on eliminating opposition. The big lie was bought into by some ignorant people, except the former Central Bank governor, Lamido Sanusi, who despite hating Jonathan with a passion was decent enough to confess that he may dislike someone but lying against him was out of the pale. “Jonathan is not the kind of man that would carry out such alleged assassination plots”.
One thing about Nyako and Sanusi is that they are both Fulani, a minority tribe that has been ruling in most parts of Northern Nigeria over the majority Hausa and some other tribes.
So entrenched is the tribe, that some of the tribesmen indulged themselves into deep criminality that including kidnappings for ransom, banditry, destabilization of farming communities, ethnic cleansing and human trafficking that often had offshoots in suspected human organs trade.
Jonathan was doing his best to dismantle that criminality carefully hidden under religious extremism and nomadic cattle herding. Many pro establishment folks felt threatened and they all swore to push Jonathan out by deploying propaganda against Jonathan about corruption and money laundering.
For instance when Jonathan was rejoicing with Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor on his birthday on Twitter, a twitterati made allegations about Ayo Oritsejafor’s private jet that was used to launder money into South Africa. But discerning Nigerians would have none of it.

It was not a crime. It was Obama’s failed satanic agenda of wanting GEJ to make gay & lesbians lawful in Nigeria . When it didn’t work, he placed an embargo on Nigeria.

If they put that scenario in an exam for you, F9 is what you will score. We needed arms to fight Boko Haram. USA refused to sell. Obama did not support Africa in policies so you expect the president to sit down without doing anything. Arms deals are mostly cash deals.
There it is. Obama wanted Jonathan to have no arms and ammunition in fighting Boko Haram and other forms of insecurity to make him fail. Some Northern governors were being regularly invited to the State House in Washington to plot strategies aimed at removing Jonathan from office.
Jonathan was a president who had grown the Nigerian economy to the level of becoming the largest economy in Africa, with an inflation rate that was lower than 8% or about that for five years while he was president. Obama used John Kerry and some of the northern governors to achieve Jonathan’s removal.
Gen. Buhari became the new president and within weeks, Nigeria’s rate of inflation soared above 20%. Cost of living crisis took on a life of it’s own and the exodus of Nigerians became a way of life.
8 years of Buhari gave no respite and the citizens suffered under his indiscipline with insecurities perpetrated by his Fulani kinsmen that went on unabated, causing more people to leave the country.
After Buhari, his Party, All Progressive Congress party remained in power and inflation has surged between 30-45 percent.
All as an outcome of the machinations of Obama as the grand puppeteer.
Unknown to Nigeria’s leaders both past and present, Donald Trump who first defeated a candidate supported by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton to become president, was later defeated by Joe Biden, Obama’s former Vice president, supported by Barack Obama.
During his four years out of office, Trump took his time and deeply studied
the methods and schemes of Obama. He found an Achilles heel.
Obama’s unhealthy support for gay and lesbian rights was vehemently despised all over Africa, even in his father’s home country of Kenya where then President Uhuru Kenyatta politely turned down Obama’s request for gay and lesbian rights in the East African nation. Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni also said no to Obama.
Even in America, millions of citizens greatly abhorred Obama’s promotions of those rights but they just bore the deviant behavior with silent opposition.
Soon after his win, Trump declared that a bill would be sent to Congress recognizing only male and female as gender in the Constitution.
Quick and sharp repudiation of the schemes of Obama.
Quietly chuckling Goodluck Jonathan must have privately guffawed while sending a message to Donald Trump on his dramatic comeback.
Dear President Trump,
I extend my warmest felicitations to you on your election as the 47th President of the United States. Your impressive victory is a testament to the American people’s faith in your leadership and vision for the future.
I am optimistic that your Presidency will not only advance the American dream but also promote the cause for global peace, stability and progress.
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations, once again.
-GEJ
Donald Trump Campaign Updates
@TrumpRDonald2, probably a parody account, replied to Goodluck Jonathan:
Thanks for your goodwill words together we will make America great again and restore electoral integrity in Nigeria and across the African continent.
The joke is now on Obama. Nigerian Americans love Kamala Harris. Many of them did not vote for her because of their deep seated anger against Obama. They were voting against Obama, not really against Kamala Harris. And Trump that they embraced is answering their questions and repudiating the things that Obama stood upon.
