He said, “There are certain things we should have done as a government, but because of the situation in the country, we have not been able to do many of them. The kind of embarrassment we are receiving now - will never continue in this country.
“We want to build a very strong Army, Nigeria Police, Navy, and the Air Force so that these rascals called Boko Haram will never stop us because we will surely rout Boko Haram. We are very committed.
“In the next few months, no criminals will ever embarrass us again - in this country.”

patrickmuf: I don't blame some fellas for referring to GEJ as a clueless president, in our present scenario, it's ill advised to go about setting timelines you're not even sure of...It's only hurting his chances come 2015 as his opponent will be on the lookout for the state of things come the proposed timeline and if things don't change it's easy to term him a failure...

PassingShot: Same way he said sometimes in 2012 that it would end by December 2012!

“There are certain things we should have done as a government, but because of the situation in the country, we have not been able to do many of them."

obayaya:

Please just hush it already..

What's deceptive about being optimistic and hopeful?

What's all these stuffs you wrote up there? Nigeria is this!! Nigeria is that. Goodluck this!! Goodluck that!!

Before you started your sojourns abroad, I'm sure you lived in Nigeria. The Nigeria you lived in didn't have all these problems you listed up there right? Delusions!!!

We all are hoping the insurgency ends soon. And that's all that matters. All these _shit you wrote up there to justify your veiled wish that the insurgency continues so you can continue to cast aspersions on the president means nothing.

Nigeria is faced with myriads of problems!!! None of which started today. The best you and I can do is support the government of the day in her quest to solve the problems.

melvin0004: are u in Nigeria at all.2nd Niger bridge project is on,airport hv taken a new shapes,roads construction ongoing in all part of d country. etc.with tym dis guy wud perform more.pls tell APC dat der can't win 2015 election with propaganda.

Guidette: Another empty promise.

Where is the light he promised us?
Where are:
The roads?
The security?
The Chibok girls?
The sponsors of bokoharam?
The corrupt officials?
The dividends of subsidy removal?
The employment opportunities?
The 2nd Niger bridge?
The airports?
The universities?
The oil refineries?
The agricultural and industrial development?
The water supply?
.……………

NO ACTION PRESIDENT is what GEJ is. A disappointment/embarrassment to the nation.
In PEJ's voice: Chai! Diaris God oooo

Guidette:
Are you kidding me? I'm in Naija now, and right now as I type there is no light, my dad was nearly killed in one of the bomb blasts that happened last week and my mum went for a burial last week in which the death was caused by doctor strike. So you are telling me that I am not realistic? Why would I want insurgency to continue when it affects me and my family directly? I will never wish bad on any person even GEJ. Thousands have died while nothing meaningful has been done to stop Boko haram.

Jonathan just needs to go because if the problems have been going on for decades and he still can't solve it, then he has to move and let someone else do what needs to be done. I am not a sycophant, so I say things as I see them.

WombRaiders:

May it not end! Let the tentacles of Boko Haram spread to whatever part you reside and may it affect you and your family.

Amen to that!

dotcomnamename:

Plus you and your entire generation. Amen.

Excluding me because even if you use the fastest train in the world, you can't reach me so easyly, you will have to cross the red sea, the Irish sea and the Mediterranean sea..

Guidette:

Ok, I have heard. Where are the rest because right now there is no light in our house.

obayaya:

If you really believe the bolded, then I'm afraid you've not been able to understand the enormity of the fight against Boko Haram and you may never be able to understand.

You hide in the safety of your house and call the sacrifices of soldiers paying the ultimate price in this fight "nothing meaningful". SMH



And all you see are empty promises?

And you expect him to perform a miracle and right all the wrongs that have accumulated over the decades in a day?

And what in your opinion needs to be done as regards boko haram?

greggng: Pdp is boko haram and boko haram is pdp he should be able to know when they will end their rascality

omenka: The embarrassment of having Jonathan as Nigerian president will end in 2015!
