payless: Obama at UN to Meet With Palestinians' Abbas
WASHINGTON September 20, 2013 (AP)Share0Share on email
President Barack Obama plans to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly next week. The meeting will occur just days before Obama hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

Obama's deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, said the subject of Tuesday's meeting with Abbas will be recently relaunched peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Netanyahu will be at the White House on Sept. 30. In recent weeks, Secretary of State John Kerry has also met with both leaders.

Rhodes said Obama on Tuesday will meet with Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, with whom he will discuss the influx of refugees to Lebanon from the Syrian civil war. He said Obama will meet Monday with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

Go suvk toenail.

Nice hotel though. Obama and I would be meeting there next year. Can't wait

nkem Kalu: OBAMA CAME TO AFRICA AND REFUSED TO COME TO NIGERIA AND ALSO REFUSED TO SEE GEJ.....NOW THE MAN (GEJ) HAS GONE TO NY AND OBAMA DECIDED TO SEE HIM BRIEFLY IN A HOTEL ROOM THAT COSTS $7,000 PER NIGHT. ( DON'T FORGET THAT $7,000 IN U S IS EQUIVAILENT TO OUR OWN N7,000.00 PER NIGHT HERE. INFACT, THIS HOTEL IS NOT BETTER THAN A LOCAL ISOLO OR AGEGE MUSHIN HOTEL WHICH IS NOT UP TO SHERATON .) HAHAHAHAHA.......THIS IS THE BIGGEST INSULT OF THE CENTURY. CAN SOMEONE ASK THAT MAN TO PLEASE COME BACK TO NIGERIA HERE AS HE HAS DISGRACED US.

Little negro, stop this b.ullshit !
you are just naive

Who cares where Obama meets Jonathan? It doesn't matter. Jonathan is not a respected world leader and the whole US thinks Jonathan is just a criminal. Bottom line.

payless: American Presidents only meet with world's respected leaders at the Whitehouse. It is disrespectful to meet a Nigerian President at Waldorf Hotel for few minutes.

So na only you wey no sabi say all presidents are arriving to New York for UN general assembly stuff? They stay in hotels and the POTUS uses that opportunity to meet one or two leaders.

The Nigerian president has met the POTUS in the White House on different occasions.

Abdulsalam did meet clinton, OBJ did meet bush etc

HNosegbe: But really GEJ needs to work on his carriage.

Also, he needs to stretch his hands out properly when shaking hands. His handshake style makes him look timid.

The perfect handshake exudes confidence and personality, while a sub-par performance may leave your personality in doubt.

Shine u Eye:

I believe this is from your personal experience? Get a real job my dear.

I don't get pay checks I give them so get a real life

We need to ask ourselves a serious question, how much of our national issues are compatible with that of the US. Any discussions with Obama need be brief and straight to the point.
We have no problems the US can solve and they are bad news anyway. Obama has his own issues , all GEJ need to put to obama is our plight to make the security council.

fashola for president !!!
Fashola for 2015 !!

daryoor: fashola for president !!!
Fashola for 2015 !!

in your wildest dream...

President Obama's Bilateral Meeting with President Jonathan of Nigeria

muzeze77: Whats with this clownish dressing, when in Rome behave like a roman and when in US, dress corporate, This so-called bushman is disgracing Nigeria

See blind and stupid hatred. You've exposed your stupidity. Tell me the type of dress Tafawa Balew, Obasanjo, Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, Gaddafi, Saudi King and others have won or do wear when on international engagement especially to the west.

President Obama's Bilateral Meeting with President Jonathan of Nigeria

Chai.
See, wise men are talking.

Funny to think that some 40-50 yr old blind haters on this thread can only boast of having been class reps in their university days as their greatest achievement in public service. Yet they fail to see the wisdom that has transpired in the dialogue above.
So sad.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SAYS A $7000 PER NIGHT HOTEL IS EQUIVALENT TO A 7000 NAIRA HOTEL IN NIGERIA,BRO THIS IS THE WALDORF ASTORIA IN NY(GOOGLE IT) AND BTW IT DWARF THE STANDARD OF THE BEST HOTEL IN NIGERIA,YOUR COMMENTS SHOW YOUR LEVEL OF IGNORANCE WHICH IS LEGENDARY.

shymexx: Obama is a bad ar.se nyggah - that nyggah just kept a straight-face as the navy-blue skin tone having, fedora hat wearing baboon was exhibiting the effects of inhaling laughing gas.

Obama was like, "What's funny? And why's this nyggah laughing?"

I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Did you notice the body language too? Did you notice how many times GEJ lost focus while looking at the cameramen until Obama slightly raised his voice and emphasized certain words just to catch his attention again? Did you notice the twiddling of his thumbs through out the meeting--- a clear sign of nervousness and an exhibition of insecurity?

God, whoever supports that illiterate dummy is waste to this earth.

Dpeacemaker101: I guess you are the press secretary to the president please tell us, you guys just come up with different stories just to mock yourselves. He was invited by Obama, I guess the thread is still on this forum if you can read.

No he wasnt invited!

He admitted on tape that he wrote a letter basically begging for a meeting. Go re-watch the video!

CongressIsrael: Again, there is no verifiable fact that Jonathan has been lobbying to see Obama in the white house, that is pure lie and if anyone claims otherwise, he should provide substantial evidence of such lobby and prove that he was there when the lobbies were being initiated by Jonathan.

Either youre deaf, morose or just a pathological liar. Go watch the video again and listen to what GEJ said.

ocelot2006:


Let's get this straight....there is an ongoing UN General Assembly were most Heads of States have convened (US President inclusive), yet you expect the POTUS to fly ALL THE WAY BACK TO WASHINGTON DC to meet with "respectable" leaders at the whitehouse?...........dude, isnt that STUPIDITY of the highest order?

Dont be dense, thats not what theyre saying. What people are saying is: He met your dunce of a President at a hotel for a few minutes when hes been to Africa twice and refused to even fly across ur useless country to talk less of visiting the President of the most important black nation on Earth!!!!

sweet_gala: We need to ask ourselves a serious question, how much of our national issues are compatible with that of the US. Any discussions with Obama need be brief and straight to the point.

Because hes unexposed and unenlightened. I bet you in his mind all he was thinking was "Ehen, look me and Barack... Tinumbu and Amaechi go dey jealousy me and fear now".

watch Madame President Sirleaf very calm how she composed herself how she did not fidget, also see how she was invited to the the whitehouse and also praised and admired by Obama.

Keep making excuses for mediocrity and see where it gets us

payless: American Presidents only meet with world's respected leaders at the Whitehouse. It is disrespectful to meet a Nigerian President at Waldorf Hotel for few minutes.

Why this hatred and display of frustration in a public social arena of this kind? You had better believe this hard truth that Jonathan is the president of Nigeria and will continue till 2019, not even your hatred can stop it.

This whole hatred for Jonathan is just outta control "JONATHAN WILL BE YOUR PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS JUST LIKE EVERY PRESIDENT BEFORE HIM WAS ENTITLED TO 2 TERMS". So yall mofos might as well put aside your tribal hats and start liking this Niger Delta man.

Apparently , you are very literate .

We don't know the full content of their discussion or the veracity, so any conclusions can't be made. However we can conclude that the press op was poor on Jonathan side he seemed to be star struck, and obama seemed too indifferent, but what do you expect when GEJ can't even put his party in order. Too much quarrelling. What do you think the American consulate do in Nigeria other than relating current affairs back to USA

pacer: Lol I am German and was only trying to be funny. i wouldn't live in nigeria or be the president of nigeria even if offered a billion dollars.

Sorry dude!
A billion dollars to you is just what it is... a collection of 14 letters of the alphabet.

The musk shrew saw a hawk and began to run, the hawk looked down in surprise and asked..."Whoever told that shrew I even want his type?"

Clowns are not allowed in the white house

kenbee: in Hotel or in Obama's living room, Obama meet President Jonathan with high expectation. enough of this disrespect to our dear GEJ. mind U that any insult to our dear Mr Jonathan is also an insult to the collective sensitivity of all of us from Nigeria.

And who gives a phuck about nigerians apart from nigerians. Loudmouths wit nuttin to show for

taharqa:

Oh!! SHUT ya ffucking mouth UP. You guys are taking this unbridled HATRED for a single individual too damn far; its almost making you chaps fickling CRAAAAZZY.

This is the Side lines of the UN General Assembly in New York, not Washigton. This is the same place Obama wud meet with the Chinese, Brazil President and others.
