Fools definitely don't understand that statement.What he meant by "For you to fix the world,you have to fix Nigeria,For you to fix Africa,you have to fix Nigeria".It's just a mere saying to remind Obama,That Nigeria Remains a force to reckon with on the African Continent.Africa's Greatness and power must be attributed to Nigeria's role on the Continet.Therefore,Africa is Incomplete without a working and functional Nigeria".Get the tone right.don't criticize him yet.Moreover,this trip has been fruitful from day one,he's spoken more like a president in New York".

B4 criticising GEJ how many of U have reported an armed robber, akidnapper or just an ordinary thief to the police?

How many hard the opportunity to cheat in an examination or job interview but restrained themselves?
ur state governors are busy looting their treasuries but have the guts to attck GEj at the slightest excuse.

mars123: Obj and Donald Duke ran for presi...Obj won(Nigerians voted him)
Igbinedion governed for 4yrs,squandering was done...WAS GIVEN ANOTHER 4YRS and he continued from where he stopped.
Some deltans still celebrated ibori's birthda wen he is in prison for mass squandering and theft of their state funds
Some yoruba's still call Obj their God!
Elected governor of abia state runs a very poor and unimaginative governance and some say he is" WORKING"
The truth is we are suffering from our corrupt decisions!remove sentiments from 2015 let the obvious best candidate win.

Ifeanyi ubah who is in debt and his company has been taken over by govt is is contesting for gov anambra, and pple will still vote him. They same pple cry when the govt loots them dry.

God bless you my brother. I just got tired reading stupid comments. People just love insulting the president without even having any clue on what the issues are. They wait for issues to come up so that they can insult some more. There are some policies implemented by GEJ that I am not happy with but I am proud of him for the initiatives he is taking to fix this country. He is truly a listening president.

Human beigns are bound to have their own opinions on issues, hence why we are called rational.

'Cos the poster u quoted has a conflicting opinion to yours NEVER warrants you insulting him !...

unless you are a definition of the opposite of "rational" in this context, then would you realize you only ended up been the name you tagged him !!!!

omanzo02: It's very obvious most respondents here failed English language.

GEJ was not even talking about Obama when he used "you", simply putted he meant " To fix the world, u must fix Africa, to fix Africa, Nigeria must be fixed".

GEJ use of "you" was for a better understanding to his listener, and making sentences like that is common with Nigerians, so leave the man alone.

Leave them with dia arm-chair criticism. Some people need to go back to the basics. A man is using figurative language to another and critics are in the comfort of the bedroom ranting.



For education sake, what Jonathan is implying is that you cannot overlook Nigeria and say you want to make impact in Africa. Thank God Obama is not on NL, otherwise....


By the way......

wandeok: President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan made history yesterday as he became the first Nigerian Leader to ring the closing bell at the Newyork Stock Exchange (NYSE). Recall that in 2009, Late President Yar Adua was the first Nigerian Leader to Ring the Opening bell on the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchange. He Took to his Facebook Page and posted this after ringing the closing bell…..

“Goodluck Jonathan
Today, I had the honour of ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange after I had heralded to global captains of industry Nigeria’s efforts in recent times that has made our nation a prime destination for foreign investment and one that ensures some of the highest Return on Investments (RoI) in the world. This is just the beginning of greater things to come for our country and our continent. The foundation of planning which we laid at the inception of our administration is being strengthened for greater service delivery for our people. My attention has just been drawn to some modest but positive steps in the education sector. In 2010, the pass rates for our National Examinations Council (NECO) Senior School Certificate Examinations was 15.84%. To address the abysmal failure and general decay in education we convened an emergency education summit in 2010 to deliberate on why we had fallen so far back and how best can we move up? We took the report from that conference and began implementing some of the recommendations. The education sector had the highest sectoral allocation in the budget the following year and has remained among the topmost in allocation since then. On Friday the 20th of September 2013, the results of our efforts began to manifest. This year, 69.57% of Nigerian students passed the 2013 Senior School Certificate Examinations. We cannot relent. While we continue to negotiate with ASUU so that never again will strikes be an impediment to the realization of our children's educational aspiration, it is important that we keep our eyes on the ball: a holistic turn around in our education. As we make progress in every sector of our economy: Transportation, Aviation, Agriculture, Power, Finance, Energy Security and all others it is not celebration time until all our citizens can feel the progress in our communities and our constituencies. We must pay greater attention to education. As I said on this page on April 10, 2012 when I commissioned the first of 400 Almajirinci Model Schools in Gagi, Sokoto state “a nation does not become wealthy by what it has under the ground rather the wealth of nations are today measured by what is between the ears of her citizens”. To the world I say, we have the most industrious humans on earth and we are ready for business. To fellow Nigerians, our collective work for change is not done. Lets us not be discouraged by the attempt to drag us into partisan politics when the urgent issue of the moment is governance. GEJ”

President Jonathan is in Newyork for the United Nations summit.
President Jonathan also met with President Obama. The meeting was held in the LyndonnB Johnson suite in Waldorf-Asstoria. “For you to fix the world, you must fix Africa. For you to fix Africa, you must fix Nigeria”. That’s the message our dear President Jonathan greeted President Obama with as they start their bilateral meeting. Obama condemned the attack on Kenyan mall. President Jonathan will be addressing the U.N today.

I have seized to bother about the comments of APC and Anti-GEJ's critics since there is nothing he does that will be seen as good.
More so, they do not want him to succeed. They wish he fails, so any move towards progress by GEJ, offends them.

What will surprise me is if the same APC goons start using the same standard for their APC/nPDP fellows.
