theoctopus: The serious question here is this

Why are they afraid of GEJ contesting? It is very funny. I thought they said all Nigerian hate him and he is a monumental failure. So why are they afraid of him contesting? Something tells me, they know they are liars and weak

Shine It: Mods should have moved this thread to the joke section. Buhari says it every 4yrs, Fashola said it, most politicians would say it so what's the biggie? Remi Tinubu said she's not going to contest Lagos governorship even though we all know she will.
ROFLMAO!!! another Yoruba frustration thread,

adino:

wothout scrolling down for expo, I make bold to say that the speaker is no other than the great chief propagandist, deportation commander, newspaper performing babatunde fashola of Lagos.

Ayed44: What if d man changes his mind 4 d reasons known to him? Please can u direct me to any section of d 1999 constitution dat GEJ will be violating if he changes his mind and contest again in 2015?

Ayed44: Just listen to urself. If realy he is weak and incompetent like u are trying to portray him, then let him contest and loose at d elections. Why are u afraid of a weak man contesting? U need to examine urself well.

abu12:

If he change is mind good, he should be able to say "yes I promise not to run by 2015 but I will run now" who will hold him? It is a sign of irresponsibility for a leader like him to be dining

Pukkah:

As an individual that knows what he's doing, you should not change your mind so easily about very critical assignments. Go and watch people that do that and see whether they are successful.



1. Don't bring in the concept of a God that changes His Mind. It is one of the fault-lines of religion and cannot be reconciled with His Omniscience.

2. A leader that changes his mind must be honest enough to admit it and humble enough to tell his followers the compelling reason(s). What has changed between the time he made the firm and clear promise and now? Influence from friends and sycophants?

3. Has Jonathan fulfilled the promises he voluntarily made regarding power, security and transportation? Yes or No?

4. From 2 and 3 above, do you think he has the moral authority to contest in 2015? Note that we are not talking about his constitutional right here. Also note that for a leader, moral authority should be rated highly.

Caleboha: GEJ is not the first politician to change his mind with regards to seeking re-election. Its common place when you factor in influence from his community, friends, beneficiaries and psycofants. Even God changed his mind concerning Hezekiah why can't GEJ do same? I beg to say that this thread is utterly useless and inspired by mischief. Why is everyone scared of GEJ re-contesting? Its cowardly! They all panic whenever his 2015 intentions is brought up yet they call him weak and dull. If he is really dull and weak, defeat him at d polls!!! Gawwd! Una dey vex me oooo. I'm not Jonathan's fan by the way, just amazed @d panic GEJ's re-election bid is causing!

1. Short time? He knew it was going to be 4 years and made his clear and voluntary promises based on 4 years. No? Let;s even ignore his Acting President days.

2. Saboteurs? Are they a new feature in our system? Haven't they always existed? What happened to his experience as a deputy governor, governor, VP and Acting President before he made the promises? I thought his clear and unambiguous promises were made after considering the ever-present 'saboteur factor'. I don't want to believe that he lied or didn't do his homework well before making such critical promises.

3. Give him a second term if he wants? And what if he doesn't want it? We would start hunting for another person? Can you see the way they (you) are using Nigeria to play roulette?

eightsin: Why are Northerners so bent on Preventing GEJ frm contesting 2015 general election? how many of us can beat our chest n say we have not done something we swore not to do again? He without sin shld cast d 1st stone.

Come to think of it, GEJ has nt even said he wld contest d 2015 election.
Now, d question is: why are they so scared?

jmaine: I remember a very popular second term serving governor who consistently boasted he wasn't going for a second term cos Only students who fail repeat classes .

Jamb Question: Who is that governor and whose party platform is he flying his flag ?

jmaine:

Wrong answer for the identity of the governor, but you got the party right . .

eightsin:


I wouldn't say entirely bt he has done considerably well in such a short time coupled with the saboteurs in his administration who are bent on seeing him fail... Lets gv him a 2nd term if he wants it.

soulfood:
PANIC? WELL, IF A DRUG ADDICT STAYS IN YOUR COMPOUND AND YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES KNOWING HIS LEASE WILL SOON EXPIRE ONLY TO HEAR THE ADDICT IS PLANNING TO EXTEND HIS LEASE WITH YOUR LANDLORD. WILL YOU JUST KEEP QUIET? THE ONLY PANIC HERE IS MORE LIKE PHOBIA FOR THE DAMAGE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF JONATHAN'S RULE CAN INFLICT ON NIGERIANS.

Pukkah:


You still haven't addressed my issues.

Obasanjo faced stiff opposition from the South West. Yes or No? Sharia came up during his reign. Were there any allegations of born to rule or ethnicity then?

Yar'Adua was attacked and called names like 'Yaradull'. Reuben Abati even wrote then that people asked for 'Yar'adua' at local restaurants anytime they wanted 'snail'! Boko Haram surfaced during Yar'Adua's rule. Was there any allegations of tribalism then?

Today, you guys are lampooning the Northerners, attacking Amaechi and calling him a traitor; you conveniently forget that some Northern governors are supporting Jonathan! Even Shema who is from Katsina (Yar'Adua's home state) is at present supporting Jonathan. That of Bauchi (Yuguda) is also supporting him, etc. Bamanga Tukur is supporting him.

The same Northern governors supported Jonathan against Buhari and Atiku. Yet, you still abuse them and call them unprintable names.

Why then do you still mouth 'born to rule' and all those divisive statements? Why not look at Jonathan based on merit? Why are you whipping up sentiments?

Did Jonathan promise to spend one term or not? Yes or no?

Why is the FG deploying instruments of the state to frustrate or attack perceived opponents of Jonathan or any other person that may have a presidential ambition?
