Goodluck Jonathan, President of Nigeria
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (born 20 November 1957) is a Nigerian politician and currently the President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). On 13 January 2010, a federal court handed him the power to carry out state affairs while President Umaru Yar’Adua received medical treatment in a Saudi Arabian hospital. A motion from the Nigerian Senate on 9 February 2010 confirmed these powers to act as President. On 24 February 2010 Yar’Adua returned to Nigeria, but Jonathan continued as acting president. Following Yar’Adua’s death, Jonathan was sworn in as President on May 6 2010.
Early life, education and personal life
Jonathan was born in Otueke in Ogbia Local Government Area of the then Eastern Region, later Rivers State, now Bayelsa State. He holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Zoology in which he attained Second Class Honours, Upper Division. He also holds an M.Sc. in Hydrobiology/Fisheries biology, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Zoology from the University of Port Harcourt. After obtaining his degree, he worked as an education inspector, lecturer, and environmental-protection officer, until he decided to enter politics in 1998. He is married to Patience and has two children. Jonathan is an Ijaw.
Political career
Jonathan, previously the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, succeeded Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who was impeached by the Bayelsa State Assembly after being charged with money laundering in the United Kingdom. In September 2006, Jonathan’s wife was indicted by the nation’s anti-crime agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for money laundering related offences.
Yar’Adua died on 5 May 2010. Jonathan was sworn in as Yar’Adua’s replacement on 6 May 2010, becoming Nigeria’s 14th President. He will serve as President until the next election. Upon taking office, Jonathan cited anti-corruption and electoral reform as likely focuses of his administration. He stated that he came to office under “very sad and unusual circumstances”.

Unfortunately most of the 419 fraud occurs from Nigeria where their booming internet cafes are set up to scam unsuspecting and greedy people. Most scams are aimed directly at Americans which promise millions upon millions of US dollars and frequently British pounds. I’ve gotten four such emails today offering me from 200,000.00 GBP up to $5.5 million US dollars. IT’S ALL A GLOBAL SCAM, PEOPLE, WAKE UP AND IGNORE IT. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL GET NOTHING IN RETURN! Nigerians make an average of $1.00 per week. They’re all a bunch of crooks!
I agreed sir to what you have said since I’m also receive such scam emails from nigeria using the name of their president and sending me soft copy of atm debit card and other documents that will attract me..their offering me $10.5 million US dollars..for those who receive such emails i do hope that you be openminded that now a days no one will give us such a huge sum of money, they will only get our money.
