SOUTH AFRICAN POLITICIAN CALLS JONATHAN, “IRRESPONSIBLE” OVER SILENCE ON BAGA by dodoniyi: 10:02pm On Jan 14, 2015
South African politician, Malema, attacks Jonathan, says President “irresponsible” over silence on Baga (with VIDEO)

[b]South Africa’s eccentric youth leader and federal lawmaker, Julius Malema, has launched a blistering attack on President Goodluck Jonathan over his handling of the massacre in Baga, Borno State, describing the Nigerian president as “irresponsible” and suggesting South African intervention against the extremist Boko Haram sect.
Mr. Malema, who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters Party, criticised Mr. Jonathan for rushing out public condemnations of the terrorist attack on a newspaper in France when he has remained silent until date on the bloodbath in Baga, a troubled town in his own country.
The youth leader said the South African National Assembly will consider a motion on a possible intervention in the bloody campaign by Boko Haram that has claimed thousands of lives and has worsened in the last weeks.
Boko Haram seized Baga, a fishing community on the northern tip of Borno State by Lake Chad, sacking the military base there and killing soldiers and hundreds of civilians.
Rights group, Amnesty International, said at least 2,000 people were killed in the attack, and said the carnage is the worst attack since Boko Haram began a bloody campaign targeting civilians and government officials in 2009.
On Tuesday, after over a week of silence, the Nigerian military said about 150 people died in the attack, including Boko Haram militants, rejecting the figure provided by Amnesty International.
The call by the military came barely 24 hours after a spokesperson said the casualty figures could not be “credibly determined”.
Mr. Jonathan, who has been on the campaign trail ahead of the February 14 presidential elections, has yet to comment on the attack till date.
But the president was one of the first world leaders to issue a statement condemning the killing of 12 journalists and police officers in Paris, by Al Qaeda-linked terrorists.
While the president has not condemned the Baga attack, his cabinet members too have not commented on the incident.
Yet, like the president, Finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, also tweeted messages of solidarity with the French people, condemning the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
Mr. Malema, who had previously served as the president of African National Congress Youth League, said the action of the Nigerian president had demonstrated “irresponsible leadership”.
Speaking at a press briefing, Mr. Malema mocked Mr. Jonathan using his first name, Goodluck.
“Eh Goodlook, or Goodluck or whatever his name is or badluck I don’t know …He is quick to release statement about the killing in Paris; but don’t (doesn’t) say anything about the killings in his own country. That’s an irresponsible leadership,” Mr. Malema said.
“We are really saddened by what is happening in Nigeria. It is highly disturbing.”
“And we need South African Government to intervene and we will be raising the matter in the Parliament.
“We will make the Parliament to debate it as an urgent matter and pass the resolution for South African intervention in Nigeria,” he said.

How did you liberate South Africa?
You guys can deceive yourselves.
Anyway, no one takes Malema seriously even in South Africa.

Ur obviously not knowledgeable

Google is within reach.

Nigeria, Libya were some of the fronline benefactors to the ANC and Anti-Apartheid movement.

Whether Malama is the National clown of South-Afriica, his words r a direct reminder of Jonathan as a failure.


Son u r the only one suffering from deception or better still, a lck of knowledge there of.

Imagine South Africa that Nigeria liberated considering passing a resolution in their parliament to liberate Nigeria from Boko Haram, a ragtag group of arid thugs. All because we have an slowpoke as leader who goes to party from scenes of bloody carnage. Dumbo is a psychopath, I've often said so and unless Nigerians wake up from this nightmare leadership, he will continue to disgrace us worldwide. He is so stup*d even a youth leader in faraway South Africa is upset with his crass leadership... after US Sen. John McCain dismissed him and his government as "non-existent" and callous. Over 2000 innocent Souls massacred and not one word from the sadist, but he rushed out an eye-service message of condolence to the French even as his counterpart was at ground zero visiting the site of the shootings and commiserating with victims' families. In over two years of his fake State of Emergency, Dumbo has not visited even one site of mayhem in his own country. Words cannot describe the anger in me, thoughts of the Otuoke Chimp is truly nauseating. He is sick, a vampire under whose presidency his blood brother and sister have died because he could not build a standard hospital in his Bayelsa State, his mother-in-Law died because he could not fix the East-West Road in his South-South... and even his cousin and former Governor of Bayelsa, Timipreye Sylva, has said there's no electricity in Otuoke because Dumbo is a selfish leader. What more? Blame it all on the opposition APC, they must have told this SA youth leader to castigate Dumbo for his wickedness in silence. Dumbo is a mess that has polluted the African continent and a major disgrace to Nigerians and humanity. The South African boy of yesterday is Dumbo's father of today... Just as Malala of Pakistan is his mother on Chibok. Tufia!
