Between President Goodluck Jonathan and late General J.T,U. Aguiyi-Ironsi, it is becoming increasingly difficult to say with certainty who was the most simple minded. Both men had these following attributes in common. They made every effort to appease the North. They surrounded themselves with frienemies (enemies pretending to be friends), who stabbed them on the back. They failed to do the needful for their people when they had the opportunity. Both accidentally came into power, which they never anticipated. Ironsi became Nigeria's president at the failure of of Nzeogwu's revolution, while Jonathan came to power at the death of his boss Umar Yar'Adua. Indeed, the two individuals were delusional or at best overconfident. Ironsi banked on his 'invisibility', while Jonathan relied heavily on his 'Goodluck'. And in all they both wanted One Nigeria.
Mr. President, Nigerians Began checking out from 1966!
“Something must have gone wrong along the line from 1914 when the Southern and Northern Protectorates were amalgamated till date. When you look at the 1914 amalgamation of the Southern and Northern Protectorates, and between the period Nigeria got independence in 1960 and the time I was sworn-in as president, you will agree with me that I am not the problem of Nigeria. I have just stayed two years and the problems have been there before me. What we must do is to make a change for the development of Nigeria. We cannot check out like that of the television man.....”, he added.”
Ndigbos massive support of Jonathan was a demonstration of love and their forgiveness of the role the Ijaws played against them during the Biafran-Nigerian War.

Ukpai, BOFF stated that: "We the Biafra Organisation of Freedom Fighters (BOFF) formed in the year 1969 have woken for the last time and had taken responsibility of the bombings that exploded all over Biafraland. We are motivated by Radio Biafra London (RBL) propagating facts and figures about our dear country, this is to let the world understand when we say we are not Nigerians and can't associate with any activity happening in Nigeria anymore. We are Biafrans not Nigerians and can't vote unless Biafra comes. We use this opportunity to urge all other Biafra agitation group to wake up to realities on ground.

Delivers protest letter to British PM
BOFF was formed at the peak of the Biafra-Nigeria War by Ojukwu.
According to Prof Chinua Achebe in his memoir There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra, Ojukwu created BOFF as a unit that would improve the overall relationship between the Biafran Army and the people it served and on whose behalf it fought. Colonel Ejike Obumneme Aghanya was appointed the chairperson. He had been president of the Nigerian Broadcasting Service Eastern Region. Other staff of the BOFF included Dr Ukwu I. Ukwu, Dr Oyolu and Major Okoye. Ojukwu created BOFF to make Biafran Army different, by making it pay attention to the welfare of the people of Biafra. Young women were also recruited into the BOFF, some whom eventually joined the Biafran Army.
With the progression of the war BOFF got involved with militaristic operations such as infiltration of enemy camps, guerrilla warfare and propaganda. Col Onwuatuegwu had wanted to transmute BOFF into a full-fledged guerrilla army towards the end of the war, but his entreaties were rejected by authorities at the time.
According to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, her father Prof Okonjo, who was a Brigadier in the Biafran Army, once headed BOFF.
In a related development, Biafrans in United Kingdom protested the Nigerian election in London. Letters of protest were left for the British Government at No 10 Downing Streets by representatives of the Indigenous People of Biafra. The election was also boycotted in some parts of Biafra as a demonstration of Biafra's protest against the election.

Results show that whereas General Buhari is predictably leading in core northern states, Jonathan made strong in roads in Buhari's strongholds while maintaining significant leads in his strongholds in the Southeast, Southwest and North Central. Results from each state are shown below.
