註釋
IN SUMMER 2010, Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan garnered unprecedented support among Nigerians and enormous goodwill from the international community in his epic battle to succeed the late President Umaru Yar'Adua as president. Propelled to power by his nation's local compradors and the "doctrine of necessity" in a country buffeted by sundry fissiparous tendencies, Mr. Jonathan, a minority from the Ijaw tribe won the 2011 Presidential Election convincingly in his own right and became Nigeria's substantive president. Nigeria has managed to remain intact under Mr. Jonathan, but five years after he became president, Mr. Jonathan has alienated key go-to-power brokers and squandered the good luck that helped him to power. His prevarication and dour personality, inaction and dithering administrative style are fueling more viviparous pulls dogging the corporate existence of Africa's most populous nation. Whether Mr. Jonathan wins the forthcoming presidential elections in 2015 or gets the shellacking of his political life is for the Nigerian people to decide, but whatever the outcome of the election, the next four years will be extremely critical for Nigeria as a nation against the backdrop of the smorgasbord of problems that will confront the Nigerian leadership and the swirl of economic problems that will face majority of Nigerians.
