Nigerian Preseident - Now on Facebook!

Goodluck Jonathan, the President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria is now on Facebook, cementing its role as the leading social networking site for Africans. So far, 56,704 people Like This on Facebook - I'm only surprised that's not 5.6 million.

And to those who think this is just a shallow PR move by the President, he has a retort for you:

I want to assure you that your feedback and comments on this page are important. I read them and they have influenced government's policy.

On Monday, a young Nigerian named Tuokpe Onuwaje who is resident in California made a comment on this page expressing disappointment that though California has the 7th largest econo...my in the world Nigeria does not have a consulate there yet we maintain one in Atlanta, Georgia which has a smaller economy. This youth further informed me that Nigeria had a property in California which was abandoned in the 80s.

Upon receipt of this information, I instructed the Nigerian Ambassador to the U.S to visit the property immediately and report back to me with a view to reopening our consulate in San Francisco California. I am pleased to tell Tuokpe Onuwaje and all fans of this page that the visit was concluded today.

I am also looking at other request made here and will within available resources and time take action or respond to your questions.
Thank you. GEJ
