unscrupulous dimwit.

Litmus: If true then the Nigerian penchant for blaming everything on government, facilitated recently by social media, plaid a leading role. People no longer assume responsibility for their own personal growth or failure because political interest conveniently excuses them by laying the problem at the feet of the pertinent Government. Thus, armed rubbers only do so because the government created no jobs; the young men raped those girls because the government rapes the nation daily; the soldiers fled the war-front because the country under the government is not worth dying for, etc, etc.

Is it a wonder then that in this atmosphere no one has personal pride or shame? Everyone feels justified in doing whatever pleases theme safe in the knowledge that the government or authority of the day will pick up the blame. It is in this respect that soldiers wives felt justified in protesting and questioning army postings and choice of weapons and Soldiers felt that they can take to the social media to moan and solicit sympathy. Overzealous criticism and mass empowerment by social media is crating a feckless, disloyal, juvenile and irresponsible generation. The whole phenomena deserves sociological study.

Litmus: If this story proves to be lies Nigerians most, most, most make the BBC not only retract the report but apologies unreservedly to the Nigerian Military, Johnathan Government, Nigerian people and relatives of soldiers lost so far in this war. It s outrages.

Sagamite:

You did not read your response to my post that I quoted?

MissMeiya:

He has zero traits of leadership.

- quick decision making
- direct and constant communication with the public
- inspirational speaking (speeches, eye contact, strength of voice, concise campaign-able points, etc.)
- inspirational looks (countenance, posture, etc.)
- uniting instead of dividing
- being seen as a force instead of a victim
- taking responsibility for everything, no matter who was directly responsible, as long as it happened under his watch
- keeping promises instead of making empty boasts
- taking action instead of making weak accusations


Seriously, I could go on. He has none. Nothing.

I don't have anything against him personally. I'm just utterly underwhelmed by him. He is not a leader. And Nigeria does not need a spineless puppet at its helm.

Even if the leader was taking Nigeria in the wrong direction, at least they would be leading Nigeria somewhere! He's just sitting and watching. No wonder people are beginning to call him Nero.

From being brazenly occupied and attacked by terrorists (to the extent that the PRESIDENT was AFRAID to set foot in part of his own country!), to part of the country being declared under control of a terrorist group? And it's been 5 years? And the man is in Germany chatting with a football team in Canada?

calebo101: To be frank, all these things you guys are saying about Jonathan are all Bull Shit. In as much as nobody is happy with the spread of Boko Haram does not call for condemnation, it calls for more support.

calebo101: It grieves young people like us to see some married men and women and of course transgenders here bringing party affiliations into a matter of National Interest.

calebo101:
Anything to divide Nigeria, count us in. Let everyone protect their territory.
WE ARE NOT ONE. Don't be deceived.

Seun:
That does not logically follow from what I'm saying. I'm saying that it makes no sense for GEJ to fail at his job on purpose. It's one thing to say that his efforts are not effective and quite another thing to say he doesn't care. It makes no political sense for him not to care. Even if he truly doesn't care on a personal level, he must surely care that his continued failure to beat Boko Haram is destroying him politically.

20pounds: This is goodnews! 480 other Nigerians will fill their place, thereby creating employment. The transformation is on course! Who said GEJ is not working?
Very soon, Adamawa state will defect to Cameroon too with their Lamido and we shall go and occupy the land and own their horses and cattle(plus Nyako's mango trees)
GEJ till 20

dvee2:

I restate one very important point, BEING SEEN AS A FORCE INSTEAD OF A VICTIM. Believe me most of his supporters genuinely see him as a victim, indirectly placing him at a position of weakness

SirShymex:

You need to "flee" down to my yard asap - and let me disarm you!

Really and truly, AK47 is still a bad boy - but it depends on who's handling it and against who.

Those Shekau bh faction I saw in the video today should get it from an AK47, even with their 50cal, on a sunny summer afternoon.

whitecat007: Tunde Bakare prophecy about Jonathan is now playing out before our eyes.

calebo101:

Obviously you are a fool, don't bother to reply me cos i don't want to exchange words with you.

I am sure you took your bath with salt and water last 2 weeks, .

Am i right?

bayulll01: During the whole #chiboksaga and when he hosted the world economic summit they ask him about the #chibokgirls,do u know what Gej said,we want the paroent of the chibok girls to cooperate with us,can u imagine,how can a elected president utter such statement,ur president is pathetic and a joke a disgrace to the whole Nigerian cos we are brilliant and intelligent people

duni04:
Bros there's a reason why the president is called the commamder in chief, the buck stops at his desk. He's responsible for the military and their defeats or successes. His job is not just to dole out momey to the military, any i.diot can do that. He's supossed to provide leadership to the military as commander in chief and ensure the money is judiciously spent and the welfare of our soldiers is guarantied. That leadership and accountability is what is lacking with Jonathan.

bayulll01:
that's the most annoying thing,me keep falling and claiming sympathy as if the position of a president is for dummmb fellow,we expect him to solve problems not creating one,what pple don't know is this guy is seating at the affair of more than 160milliom nigeria and he's seriously messing it up daily,I once told my colleague at work the only crime those chibok girls commited is they choose to be a nigerian

Mbediogu:

Dear, I cannot agree less with you but he cannot press too much, not more than he is allowed under the constitution. There are 'sideways- forces' in action also. Murtala Mohammed was also Commander in chief at his time and tried to do it forcefully as you would want the President to do now.
The crux of what I am saying is that a national challenge remains what it is, work for all.

MissMeiya:

If his so-called enemies are that much more clever than he is, to always be outwitting him, let him step down. He is obviously not up to the task.

Litmus: If this story proves to be lies Nigerians most, most, most make the BBC not only retract the report but apologies unreservedly to the Nigerian Military, Johnathan Government, Nigerian people and relatives of soldiers lost so far in this war. It s outrages.

Pennywise: No one should come here to defend Jonathan and the Nigerian army as it stands without first watching the latest BH video on SAHARA REPORTERS. I felt truly sad and ashamed to see a rag tag poorly equipped group of teenagers that have become the nightmare of Nigerian soldiers. Practically all the vehicles they use in their operation are abandoned Nigerian army vehicles and tanks.

The vast amount of ammunition, artillery shells and all sorts of military equipment including tanks APCs body armor, etc abandoned by fleeing Nigerian soldiers are enough to prosecute a full scale civil war. A whole batallion of soldiers ran away to Cameroun for protection by that country's soldier.

This is a pure narrative of cowardice, indiscipline and corruption. If the COAS does not resign over this, he should be sacked. How many more people have to die for Jonathan to wake up and do the right thing? We are on a slippery slope. If the burden of leadership is too much for Jonathan let him resign honorably.

In the meantime efforts should be made to bring home the battalion of cowards, try and then shooot 20 of them

soroptimist:

That is the problem with Jonathanians....they consistently help the dude manufacture a lot of excuses and silly conspiracy theories that eventually makes a hero out of his traducers

If his band of praise-singers had told him to get serious with the chibok saga,we probably would have brought them home now.....but the clueless man,urged on by his accursed worshippers kept saying it was all a scam

And that is the mindset with which GEJ have approached every problem and challenges thrown at him.....Mindset of a defeated soul

Missy89:

lol.

From what i saw in the Video, AK 47 held together with duct tape might not be enough to save the nation.

MissMeiya:

I wonder. To be the leader of an entire country, not to talk of a country as challenging and complex as Nigeria, is for the BRIGHTEST, most BRILLIANT that country has to offer. Is this man our best?
