Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has spawned a Twitter meme. The president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has a habit of cupping his chin in his hands in deep thought.
The stance has been eponymously dubbed the “GEJpose” and is being mimicked all over Nigerian Twitter with hilarious results. There is even a Twitter handle that goes by the same name. It’s got a Twitter handle. We give you, the best of the GEJpose.
The original pose arose from these
