President Goodluck

Goodluck Jonathan became acting president of Nigeria when the president was out of the country then president when the president died.

With a name like that, how could he not survive and do well?

Looks like he is headed to a full term on his own. I have only a basic idea of the politics of Nigeria. I do know there is a lot of problems with governance in Africa. Some how the retreating colonials did not do a very good job of mentoring, but that is another issue.

I am just chuckling that a politician with the name of Goodluck could thrive and survive. He is an academic (PhD in Zoology) and is married to a woman named Patience.

The head of any country needs both Patience and Goodluck. I wish him well.
