        So unfortunate that in Africa, voluntarily handing over power is an achievement.

        This is good news. A lesson to African midget and paralytic regimes who have passed into the doldrums of time. Such a decent woman, such beauty of governance. A repertoire of delivery which would last for a milestone. Kudos!!

        BAD joke! This is a mockery to what we understand as 'good governance', and sets a new low! Africa's standards on meritocracy and accountability in public service is fast fading. #Disappointed by @Mo_IbrahimFdn

        Ah this is a complete disservice to the Liberian people how could you award a lady that admitted to the world that she failed to reconciled the Liberian people, she failed to fight corruption and she gave priority to nepotism you have done to us injustice.

        She doesn't deserve it . She pretentiously fought to allow the outside world to see her as a Good Leader, but locally (nationally) , is a #DevilInDisguise. Because of her, the new government had encountered economic, social, developmental and sustenance problems.

        She deserves it! Congrats #EllenJohnsonSirleaf! #Liberia. #Gambia would always remember you and #ECOWAS in your efforts to get #YayaJammeh relinquish power and saving us from "possible civil war" I hope current African leaders look up to you as a role model!

        If she happens to win the prize then the rest of Africans leaders should take their time to think about the prize and let it challenge them.
