Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan reached out to the country's vocal online community for feedback on his administration's midterm performance. A post on Jonathan's Facebook page asked Nigerians who want to "take ownership" of the agenda to make their thoughts known.
 
Nigerians on Facebook didn't hesitate to respond, with the post receiving more than 2000 likes and comments.
