Clerverly: I dont care and I dont give a damn

Fatdon: President Goodluck Jonathan, Saturday, said his junior brother, Chief Meni Innocent Jonathan, died of cardiac arrest.

The late Jonathan who, until his death, was the chairman of Otuoke chiefs council, was laid to rest, Saturday, at his Otuoke home town in Ogbia council area of Bayelsa State after a solemn funeral service at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church.

In an emotional laden voice, President Jonathan, clad in a black shirt, who described the death of Meni as very painful, said he died of cardiac arrest.
The president spoke at the church service. According to him, his brother lived a good life, though he was still a young person at his death, his death is particularly too painful to bear.

His words, “I always know that people will surely die. I always believe that people will live to an age where they make their names. Some persons die before they are born, there are a lot of still births. Some others die before they grow up to an age where people recognized them. He (brother) had his two sons fairly grown up; that, at least, will be with us. The circumstances of the death sometimes worries me. What worries me is the he died so suddenly.

”This was a young man I came home on a Friday, he came to my house, nobody carried him, he moved down just from his house across the road. We discussed he was a bit frail.I said follow us so that he could do medical check up.

”He drove himself down to Yenagoa to board the chopper to Abuja. He got to Abuja that Saturday and was admitted in hospital. The following Monday, his breathing changed. I said, ‘let us make arrangement to get him out to let him get treatment outside’. So an arrangement was being made. Unfortunately the following he had cardiac arrest and inflamed heart at the State House Clinic.

”We were making arrangement to move him to National Hospital. It is a very sad thing. He had been covering the home front for us. He has a very humble person. He was a reliable and trustworthy person you could ask to handle things for you. He is dead, there is nothing we can do. I must thank all of you who have come to join the Jonathan family to give us this respect. In some traditions, I’m supposed not to be in church. It is tradition that you don’t bury your younger ones.

Luckily for this community, we don’t have too many of these cultural and traditional things. It is quite sad, it pulled the whole Nigerians to the community to bury my younger brother.”

Present at the church service were Mrs. Eunice Jonathan, mother of the president; Dame Patience Jonathan; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal; his Deputy, Emeka Ihediora; Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State and his wife. Also in attendance were Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan; (Delta); Matin Elechi (Ebonyi), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Theodore Orji (Abia); among others.

Clerverly: The following Monday,
his breathing changed. I said, ‘let us make arrangement to get him
out to let him get treatment
outside’
And... Mr. President, you are not ashamed

High_Chief: What a careless death, if we had good hospitals in Nigerian maybe he could have survived and so many people die this way in that country. Its a shame

Clerverly: The following Monday,
his breathing changed. I said, ‘let us make arrangement to get him
out to let him get treatment
outside’
And... Mr. President, you are not ashamed

Wsdm: Thank you so much. The abundant of what is in the heart is said through the mouth. If after editing and counter editing, this is what we hear from Mr President then, we are in trouble for the remaining wasteful years of his regime. THRASH!

You guys should read that story over and over again and understand clearly what he meant by moving him out to get treatment. The man was being tended to at the state house clinic which is different from the National hospital which he mentioned in the next paragraph. It therefore means the plan was to move him from the state house clinic to the National hospital. Criticism should be done in a civilised and objective manner. I do not like GEJ and his entire PDP polithievery family but on this he has not erred. I might be wrong though but correct me if I am wrong.

coolkris: how much were you paid by ~pdp~ ?

Sincere 9gerian: When he was asked by the state of health of the first lady during the presidential media chat, he laid it bare and admitted the first lady was actually sick and has recovered.
