He was not composed. Didn't u see how his lips were moving in an uncordinated manner, looking down as if boko was around. Seriously, I am a neutral fellow when it comes to GEJ matters but the interview I watched tonight forced me to talk. Guy! You have watched Obama talked na. You go fear confidence. Let's tell ourselves the truth. GEJ is not the man for Naija Job. Shikena...

Summary of the brief Q&a:

Q) On extra-judicial killings, high-handedness driving more ppeople to Boko-haram... - U.S State dept

GEJ: it's not true

Q) On Corruption, lack of Power and basic amenities still unavailable to most nigerians? - Amanpour

GEJ; the chain has to be repaired before the bulb can light

Q) On Oil theft, excessive state funds stolen, even your Finance Minister admitted to Billions stolen,Crude-oi l shipped out illegally in your government? - amanpour

GEJ: the international community has to help us stop this stolen crude taken abroad, countries must work with us to stop this trend


My personal evaluation:

To be frank, having a 'Dr' tied to your name does not ensure one to be an exposed Intellectual anymore.

#God help his people sha, cos na one chance we don enter so.

To be frank, it was really cold and affected his composure. Nevertheless he said the right thing, and he did just good.

These kids on NL cant stop being silly. Why would the president of a country be scared or lack confidence? Scared of who? I just dont understand these bad losers.

I agree GEJ is not a powerful public speaker like Obama, Rochas or Fashola and sometimes does not prepare well for interviews but Jonathan is Jonathan and governance is not all about giving powerful speeches here and there.

Suggestions that GEJ was scared or lacked confidence for whatever reason can only come from depraved minds and silly fault-finders.

To be honest with ourselves, there is no amount of training that can give GEJ the require poise and composure he needs to be able to represent us well on the international scene not to talk of the intelligentia for steering the wheel of this nation. He seems to have overstretched his luck to the point that his know-how cannot sustain. I don't know who can teach him Public Speaking anymore. Not even Rueben Abati nor Prof Wole Soyinka!!!

What about his eyes? Were his eyes moving in uncordinated manner too? What about his nose, hands and hair? Were they cordinated or un-cordinated?
So because his eyes were moving un-cordinatedly during an interview we should vote him out in 2015 and vote in your principal, whose eyes moves in cordinated manner?

Like I said in my earlier post that I meddle in GEJ matters only on a rarity. But the level of incompetency that I noticed today made me to break my silence. For the person who said that I concluded based on his lips-reading, I was able to do that simply because I am a Psychologist. Meanwhile, I am not censorous as "Sincere9geria" hastily highlighted. I am only being absolutely sincere. It is so unfortunate that most Nigerians are hypocrits, sycophants and dishonest people with due respect to the few who say things as they are. Nonetheless, I wish my country a safe journey in GEJ's boat.

Nigeria battles to stop spread of al Qaeda chaos in Africa
Posted: January 23, 2013 1733 GMT
By Samuel Burke, CNN
In her testimony to Congress on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cited jihadist group Boko Haram as part of the broader Islamic militant threat in Africa.
Clinton said that the West-African group, whose name means “Western education is sinful” is a major threat to Nigeria – Africa’s largest oil exporter.
In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday, Nigerian PresidentGoodluck Jonathan agreed that Boko Haram could pose an existential threat to his country.
“If Boko Haram is not contained, it would be a threat not only to Nigeria, but to West Africa, Central Africa and of course to North Africa,” he said. “Elements of Boko Haram linkup with some of al Qaeda in northern Mali and other North African countries.”
Emotional Clinton angrily denies Benghazi cover-up
For that reason, he said his government is “totally committed” to working with friendly nations to help contain problems in Mali. Like many other world leaders, Jonathan said the problem there has been exacerbated by the free flow of weapons out of Libya since the fall of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
President Jonathan admitted that initially Boko Haram caught Nigeria off guard; now, he said, the country has been making progress to contain “the Boko Haram saga.”
He said his government is working day and night to make sure that the deadly attacks on an Algerian oil field do not happen in Nigeria.
The Economist reports that the death toll fromBoko Haram attacks in 2012 was 1,099 – double was it was the previous year.
“If you look at the last six months, incidents of killing started dropping,” President Jonathan contended, insisting that the government is gaining control.
He denied suggestions from the U.S. State Department that the Nigerian government has conducted a large quantity of arrests andkillings that have been indiscriminate, possibly driving more people into the hands of Boko Haram.
“The United States of America is completely wrong,” he told Amanpour. “No security agency arrests anybody just for the love of arrest. We have intelligence that enables us toarrest the people who have been arrested.”
President Jonathan also insists that poverty and unemployment are not fueling the violentrise of Boko Haram – citing religion as the primary motivation of this jihadist group.
As part of a counter terrorism effort, President Jonathan’s national security adviserhas sought to engage in dialogue with Boko Haram.
Jonathan told Amanpour that the discourse has helped the situation, and that he will continue to pursue this strategy.
The Power of the Presidency
Christiane Amanpour was the first journalist to interview Goodluck Jonathan when he assumed the presidency in April 2010. One focus of that conversation was about the endemic electric outages that average Nigerians face.
Three years later, despite continued problemsand a report by Nigeria’s Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission that says 60% of Nigerians are without access to power, Jonathan said that the country has made significant strides.
“That is one area where Nigerians are quite pleased with the government – that our commitment to improve power is working,” he said. “I promise you before the end of thisyear, power outages will be reasonably stablein Nigeria.”
Endemic Corruption
“You cannot change the mindset of people bywaving your hand. You must take means to make sure that you don’t create an environment where everyone will be corrupt and we are doing it very well,” Jonathan said.
He cited the previous elections as signs of success against corruption. International observers, The African Union, and the Independent National Electoral Commission allpraised the polling.
But there is still widespread corruption in theoil industry.
Last April, Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said that 400,000 barrels of oila day were looted from the country in just one month.
The International Energy Agency said that $7 billion dollars a year is lost annually to oil theft.
“Frankly speaking, speaking I want the international community to support Nigeria because this stolen crude is being bought by refineries abroad and they know the crude oil was stolen,” Jonathan told Amanpour. “The world must condemn what is wrong.”

I do not need to be the President of Nigeria to show how confident I am. Besides I will not even go there if I know I am not ready and so I don't need a smelly human like you to tell me what to do. There you have a man standing like a houseboy in front of Hilary.

Simple, he is not ready, he is not inspiring, he does not know what it takes to lead, he denies responsibility, he is a big coward with no confidence.
