And Jonathan is that cloud lingering in Nigeria's atmosphere preventing the sun from shining through, making photosynthesis impossible/extremely difficult, hence making our crops wither and the land baren! We shall dissipate the cloud by forcing it to rain across the country in february 14th next year (even though only the Niger Delta regions usually experience rainfall during harmattan), heralding a new dawn of sunshine, growth, and harvest aplenty!! So help us God. 2 Likes |

malele: You rightly admitted insurgency started b4 he became president...Nobody forced him to lead,he claimed to have soln to Nigeria's problem. Since you now admit he is incapable of dealing with it, why wldnt he allow those that can? Leadership isn't an allcomers affair!!!! 3 Likes |

"This cloud is made up of a sense of humiliation. We sent our children on an errand and they did not return. The errand is what we are celebrating today. The errand was to prepare the children for today but they never came back, that is what we cannot allow ourselves to forget." - Soyinka I was so much touched by this powerful remark by Prof Soyinka that I had to struggle to suppress tears. It has such a poignantly piercing effect on me that it made me feel like I PERSONALLY somehow betrayed and failed these innocent girls and their helpless parents! Maybe we all betray them for just going about our normal life while they remain captives in the hands those evil monsters. I feel even more saddened about the whole saga when I remember the reprehensible and despicable manner in which GEJ's goons were callously and viciously harassing decent and eminent Nigerians, men and women of conscience, who were so touched by the shocking incident that they spontaneously, and out of their sense of humanity and enlightened responsibility to children, felt they needed to do something to spur the government to expedite action towards rescuing the little girls before it was too late. But it is already too late for many of them perhaps. And when the 'leader' of the government and his wife, and their clannish goons, did not even believe that the girls were kidnapped in the first place, and were even so openly intimidating anybody who believes they were, it is not even reasonable for anyone to expect such a government would have the focus, the clarity of purpose and the political will that were needed to mobilize the government machinery and resources promptly and speedily enough to stand any chance of getting the girls rescued before it was too late. The case of the Chibok girls will surely be recorded in history as one of the spectacular cases of colossal failure, betrayal of trust and abdication of governmental responsibility. And the fact that the betrayed are youngsters, the most treasured of any society, makes it even more unpardonable. Thank you so much Prof Soyinka, for pricking our conscience in such an effective way by bringing this issue to the fore again, and on such a significant and appropriate occasion. 1 Like |

it is very unfortunate! Can you imagine this useless government trying to impose austerity measures on a people who should be enjoying and feeling well. But instead the clueless dumb head of state decides to print new notes coupled with the senseless stealing of public funds by his cronies May it never be well for those trying to keep Gej in that office |
