Eko Ile:



For some reason, I read this jokers post and laugh.

You are becoming a good comedian, just too bad some take your dumb talk seriously.

kokoA: It is only in Nigeria that a man who performed poorly as a governor of the smallest state (with lots of monies as oil royalty) in the country is voted in as a president.. Our leaders have their problem, but the citizens are worse.

ifeci:

it is not a competition of who can donate how many ambulances to whose village but a question of who donates it to where it is actually needed! having a surplus of ambulances where it is not being used is stupid! as a deficit of it in other areas of the country is causing a lot of deaths. This is simply common sense

bubadaniel13: OP just a question for the confused Mr Joel Brinkley,Is GEJ the first leader of Nigeria?how many years has he spent on power so far?Nigeria has been ruled by bad leaders for decades and u expect GEJ to turn bad things around within three years,the writer of the article must be dreaming.

ndu_chucks: The LA times reporter simply confirms what we already know - GEJ is a failure and unfit to rule Nigeria.



How can any sane human being defend the above? The sad thing is that we have 'educated' people, even here on NL, who will do just that.

With 17 Ambulances in front of GEJ's office (what for, sebi Yar'Adua is no longer with us), uncontrolled terrorism, Alam's pardon, corruption at epidemic levels, Billion naira food and entertainment bill, multi billion naira for the first lady's pet project, summary killings of our people without trial, e.t.c. e.t.c, one can only conclude that GEJ is a curse to the nation.

2015 cannot arrive soon enough.

mko abiola: If u are in support of ds motion.
Say HI and against say NO!
The HI's av it.

Efikman: The man should SHUT UP joo. Was it Jonathan that ruled Nigeria for since after the war and the oil boom and squandered billions of petro dollars over the decades? Was it him that underdeveloped Nigeria to its present state? Was it him who caused the Dollar that was exchanging for 70kobo/Dollar to crash to 163Naira/Dollar? Was it him that stole over 22billion dollar oil windfall in the 90s? Or maybe it was him who is the cause of the current Bokoharam unrest we have in Nigeria. Abeg the man should go and park well.

Braincheck:

Some people are just unbelievable. Inspite of the overwhelming eveidence as enunciated by the writer, you still couldn't help defending your slowpoke of a president. How i wish we can actually have 2 countries and 2 Leaders so thet those who are ready to die for GEJ will continue enjoying his polluted air.

Assuming he is not the worst thus far which i seriously doubt, what has he done to change the errors of the Past

Gej has given every true lover of this country (whether a citizen or not) countless reasons to hate him and to think or say otherwise is to wallow in self denial.

take dat: The longer an indolent leader remains in power, the longer is the road to progress! [size=14pt]If those sleazy low class crooks in the National Assembly will not impeach him,[/size] he musnt be allowed to return in 2015. When leaders have no solution, the solution is without those leaders- Away with the utterly clueless one!

Billyonaire: You are a nematode. How much is an ambulance ? Dont you have a state governor ? Dont you have local government chairman ? Should GEJ come and breastfeed you poor lazy dogs ?

Dibiachukwu:
OBJ's era wasn't that long ago. After OBJ was yaradua, who died in service (God bless his soul). The problem is that the same people that are condemning GEJ are advocating for a 1950s old soldier named buhari. Tell me what you think buhari has to offer, and why he didn't offer it promptly when he had the chance. 80 billion dollars can not turn Nigeria into paradise overnight. Johnathan could do more and should do more! What I don't understand is the sudden subtle hostility from all western quarters. What happened to their "good-willed critisms", when other precedent governments were killing us alive?

~Bluetooth:


Fu'c'k anybody who thinks Jonathan is going to improve Nigeria.This is someone that couldn't declare his assets even when Yardua publicly declared his own.

Nigeria keeps depreciating to a level where Abacha seems like a hero;corruption everywhere,terrorism without a solution in sight,heated polity,resuscitation of militancy in the Niger delta,state pardon to an international certified thief amidst other anomalies yet the orang-utan wants to rule till 2019.


One thing is sure,Nigeria will be worse off by the time he finally leaves office.the guy is just a mistake.Nigerians should help themselves and vote him out of power else the worst is yet to come !

Sunny_bobo:

It's not 'HI', it's Aye.

Sammiejokes:
tell us one anti corruption policy Gej has fought since being in office, you better wake up and don't live in the past.Nigeria wants to live now and for the future. I don't even understand your point.

mjconcept: It pains me when Nigerians insult Nigeria,now let me ask a question, what have you done for Nigeria? We choose to compare Nigeria with the USA, BRITAIN RUSSIA, those countries are way too developed even before we got independence, and we keep dreaming and refuse to bring it in reality, I am ashamed of the level of stup!dity some empty brian display here.

Tolu19: For the sake of things getting worse, for the sake of national wealth seriously wasted everyday, for the sake of corruption getting to a record high and the sake of wrong decisions made by GEJ everyday,I beg that he is impeached without futher delay.

If he had been impeached Dec 2011, Petrol would still be 65 naira
If he had been impeached in May 2012, his wife's plane wouldn't have forced Dana Air crash with many lives gone.
If he had been impeached before the helicopter of the govenors crashed,they would have still been alive
If he had been impeached in February,the world renowned corrupt and public funds armed robbers wouldn't have been pardoned.
Etc

Who knows what happens 2morow from our president.

Please Politicians do us a huge favour by impeaching GEJ, arrest him immediately after impeachment, recover all stolen funds, cancel all his waste projects like giving fones to farmers nationwide and d rest,arrest all his cabinet members and prosecute dem seriously like Egypt prosecuted Hosni Mubarak,send Okupe and Abati to special jail and seize all their assets,their should no mercy to any slight degree,nothing like Abati's wife crying on TV to forgive her husband or Abati village people coming in groups with placards for his release. Justice must be served wholely, no half justice for any of them. Rebuild the civil service, mend all crooked ways and let Nigerians be united again happy,richer,better and safer.

I pray thee.

Efikman: DID OBASANJO DECLARE HIS ASSETS? ANSWER ME OR SHUT THE FVCK UP.

JomoGbomo2: The whole world can't be wrong!

ifihearam:

You are comparing a lady who fell off a bike with the office of the president? There are certain things in this country that is associated with the office. Ohh so you expect the president to keep record of medical ambulances at his disposal abi? Show me on president on earth without these and I will show you a liar. Abeg make unu do better things with unu time jare.

Please bear till 2019.

ifeci:

A dull lad like u will always resort to calling names, am not surprised though but the point u made above is baseless cos for the fact that there are Governors and LG bosses doesn't mean that those at the federal level should be wasteful, we know that u guys at the top see the masses as poor lazy dogs but God has a way of dealing with pple like u, b sure dat u will live to see that day.
