femicyrus: Therefore I should vote for GEJ abi Look for real issues to campaign with, this won't take you anywhere
You can't have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That's a recipe for disaster. And I don't mean just whether a politician is scientifically literate, but people who vote politicians into office.
Without name calling the General expose Dumbo and his horde of siphoning satanists, and upto this moment not a single satanist attempt refuting any of the issues raised by GMB, like they say facts are sacred. What I enjoyed most in the interview is when GMB guarantee that the Apc govt will burke Boko Haram and will have zero tolerance for corruption.
Ever wonder why those media giants no longer bother to interview Dumbo? The fool has proved beyond words he's a failure and an unrepentant mythomaniac, media houses ignore him for the embarrasment he was.
Its just dumb how you satanist use to lie about Apc to console yourself, dumbo will be voted out, your lies will not prevent that.
Here is the interview:
Amanpour: OK, General. Let me ask you because you are a former military general. You were ruling the country briefly. Why is it that the Nigerian military today cannot take on Boko Haram and have failed to combat that terrorist organization?
Buhari: Well, this has been made much clear when the national assembly attempted to conduct a hearing after soldiers were interviewed by foreign media about being sent to the front without proper weapons, the national assembly attempted to conduct a hearing by getting the budget approved by the national assembly over the last three years and inviting the service chiefs to come and tell them why is it the weapons are not procured and sent to the soldiers under competent leadership, and that hearing was scuttled. So, in short the misapplication or the misappropriation of the resources provided by govt for weapons is why the Nigerian military was unable to defeat boko haram.
Amanpour: Can I now ask you about yourself because headlines around the world are portraying this election as a choice between a failed president and a former dictator. And you're the former dictator according to these headlines. You know, people say and they remember that you expelled 700,000 migrants years ago, thinking that would create jobs, that you have banned political meetings and free speech, that you've detained thousands of people, secret tribunals, executing people for crimes that were not capital offenses. Have you changed? Or is this what the Nigerian people have to look forward to?
Buhari: Well, all those things you mentioned with a degree of accuracy of actually what happened was then under military administration. When that military administration came under my leadership we suspended as military then part of that constitution that we felt will be difficult for us to operate under that circumstances. So, I think am being judged harshly as an individual that what happened during the military administration can be extended under multi party democratic system.
Amanpour: OK. So now you say you're a democrat. What do you think you can do to combat Boko Haram and to combat the galloping corruption in your country?
Buhari: Well, Boko Haram, we know how it started. Certainly the Nigerian military that built a reputation internationally for effectiveness is a great embarrassment to them and to the country that they haven't been able to secure Nigeria of an area of 14 local govts out of 774, I believe this problem will not be too difficult for APC govt because we know the Nigerian military is competent and is a question of making sure the money voted for equipment and training are properly utilised.
Amanpour: About corruption, there's so many complaints for many people around your country about the massive corruption they say. Can you face up against that? Are you committed to rooting out corruption?
BUHARI: We have to because there are serious citizens of this country that said unless Nigeria kills corruption- corruption will kill Nigeria. And that's best illustrated by another hearing conducted by the national assembly on pension funds, question on electric power and then corruption in the petroleum industry which the country depend over 90 percent of its external revenue, the national assembly conducted the hearing here in Abuja and the 6 geographical zones and has taken the recommendations to the executives and it has been there in their collecting dust for the last 18 months
Smh.. 85% of Jonathan supporters are underexposed illiterates. The other day one said he wasn't answering on time so that means they were translating, not knowing there's some kind of delay. Now this one is talking about not looking up when he's probably looking at the image he's talking to. Where he's looking depends on the position of the camera and image. Have you ever used Skype in your life? Do you ever stare the person in the face?

President jonathan has stolen billions of dollars. His loss of power will expose the endemic corruption in his government of gregarious proportions. and knowing the nature of GMB to fight corruption as his cardinal point in the agenda, jonaboy will do almost anything to hold on for another 4 years to escape the hang man, even going as far as sabotaging nigerian's effort at ending the insurgency in the north east, because the north east is APC's enclave. Shortchanging the electorates will be a good kill for gej especially in the north east. This is beyond logical reasoning and this is the truth whether you like it or not, jonathan is on the run.
tolababa: WIKILEAKS LEAKED INFORMATION ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S SERIAL INCOMPETENCE (PUBLIC LIBRARY OF US DIPLOMACY)
Since the Nigeria government yesterday through the Nigeria Presidential spokesman Dr Reuben Abati released a Wikileaks leaked US Government confidential document on Gen Buhari, forgetting Wikileaks also released abundant information on President Goodluck Jonathan gross incompetence and corrupt background as documented by the Public Library of US Diplomacy, it may interest you to go through some of the revelations by Wikileaks since our government supports the activities of Wikileaks and already gave credence and credibility to Wikileaks by quoting and making references to Wilileaks leaked information... Find below some excerpts of Wikileaks revelations on the views of the US Embassy in Nigeria on President Goodluck Jonathan from his time as Bayelsa Governor to February, 2010..
AN OPEN LETTER TO DR ABATI ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S LONG HISTORY OF INCOMPETENCE AS DOCUMENTED BY PUBLIC LIBRARY OF US DIPLOMACY LEAKED BY WIKILEAKS
Dear Dr. Abati,
It was really sad seeing a publication from your office yestersday, where you referenced Wikileaks as your source of information, since you decided to go that way, it may also be interesting to add some of the the things you forgot to tell us. President Jonathan's incompetence had been noted right from when he assumed office as the Governor of Bayelsa State following the impeachment of his erstwhile boss, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha who was later convicted of stealing state funds running into billions of Naira. A man who President Jonathan granted a Presidential pardon in 2013. Agin, kindly permit me to use the same heading for the story you ran on Gen. Buhari yesterday.

Chief of Army Staff Dambazau(2010) on President Jonathan as a sectional leader
¶3. (S) In response to the question as to whom the COAS believes is the Commander-in-Chief of Nigerian Armed Forces at this time, Dambazau, a northerner said, Goodluck Jonathan. In the view of the COAS, Jonathan holds that authority until such time as either the National Assembly implements a constitutional action returning authority to Yar'Adua, or there is some other manifestation that shows the President is capable and has resumed his duties. Dambazau said it was unfortunate that the entire Yar'Adua health situation had not been handled well. There were a few people around the ailing President who were manipulating the situation for both power and money, he noted. The COAS highlighted that the "Katsina group" around Yar'Adua has "caged" the President off and even before his departure to Saudi Arabia more and more Yar'Adua was not being seen as a national figure. It is unfortunate that Jonathan is beginning to do the same thing. The people that Jonathan has around him now are behaving just as badly as the Katsina clique, with Jonathan handing out favors to his ethnic group, which the Army Chief sid was not/not Ijaw. Dambazau said the Acting/Vice President comes from the smallest ethnic minority in Bayelsa State, and that he is beginning to behave like a "sectional," leader and less like a national figure with national responsibilities. The COAS said he has had several meetings with Jonathan and that he is a "simple man who is easily influenced." He gave the example of the recent transfer of naira 19 billion of GON funds to a Niger Delta environmental project that was done at the end of a meeting that Jonathan had with a group from his region. Dambazau said this was done outside of the normal Cabinet decision-making process based on a meeting he had had with his "kinsmen."

JONATHAN TOLD THE US AMBASSADOR HE DOES NOT ANTICIPATE STANDING FOR 2011 ELECTIONS
¶13. (C) Jonathan said he does not anticipate standing for elections in 2011 and that he is not working towards being a presidential candidacy. He wants to put into place an electoral structure that will be ready for national elections. He did, however, note that, "if they want me to run, that will be something to consider at that time." However, he stressed that his focus now and for the next 12 months will be on "doing a good job and witnessing respectable and credible elections in 2011."
"I was not chosen to be Vice President because I had good political experience," he said. "I did not. There were a lot more qualified people around to be Vice President, but that does not mean I am not my own man."
He said he is "not a politician" and had very limited experience as an administrator, but concluded, "I will not tolerate a brawl."
COMMENT "It is always hard to judge how some will behave (or surprise you) when leadership is unexpectedly thrown in their lap. The verdict is out on Jonathan and his previously underwhelming personality and performance needs to keep us in the cautious lane" SANDERS Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=10ABUJA215&q=goodluck
JONATHAN'S BAGGAGE OF CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE
¶5. (S) Clearly, reports of the President in a coma and on a respirator do not bode well for any recovery. In addition, Jonathan's dispatching emissaries around town to take a temperature check on the atmosphere surrounding what may be his, sooner rather than later, ascendancy to the Presidency further leads to the news that the President of Nigeria is in his final days. We are preparing a report (septel) on the baggage that Jonathan will carry with him into State House as there have been past reports of corruption, political thuggery, and payments to "militant factions" from his days as Governor of Bayelsa State as well as questions about his competency in general.

JONATHAN IS NOT A RISK TAKER
¶1. (C) Assistant Secretary Carson met with Lagos business community leaders on February 7. Per these sources, Governor Fashola of Lagos State is on the verge of being impeached despite bringing new roads, hospitals, and schools to Lagos. The Governor does not pay attention to the patronage networks. Vice President Jonathan is neither a risk taker nor an activist but it is better to have him than no one in the seat of power. Isolate and monitor communities in the Niger Delta to force them to become well run. END SUMMARY. Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=10LAGOS81&q=goodluck
BUHARI ON RULE OF LAW
¶4. (C) On the possibility that Yar'Adua might be unable to complete his term due to ill health, Buhari revealed that he had been telling other northern leaders that "no extra-constitutional measures should be taken and that the rule of law should be followed" (i.e., that VP Goodluck Jonathan should take over as President). He said any other course would violate the constitution, which "would go against everything" he is standing for with his current appeal before the Supreme Court. Buhari then concluded that making progress on the issues of poverty, health, and development should trump the informal North-South rotation of the presidency. "Ultimately, it is a question of who can better solve Nigeria's most pressing problems," he said. Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=08ABUJA2339&q=goodluck
GOODLUCK JONATHAN CHARACTERISED AS WEAK 22 Jan 2006
¶11. (C) In the last 24 hours, we have seen a substantial increase in communication about the hostages through official channels and increasingly optimistic assessments of their condition. This appears to be good news. However, the information is coming from a single source: the Governor of Bayelsa State directly or through his SSG. Yesterday, we characterized the governor as weak and out of the loop, but today he tells us he is the only one with whom the kidnappers will negotiate. And at least one element of the presidential committee also appears to have ruled out FNDIC involvement without providing any justification for doing so. The governor's assessment that divisions within the kidnappers will lead to the hostages imminent release sounds positive, but so have many other statements over the past ten days. Most of these positive developments depend on one source of information, and we have yet to independently confirm them. HOWE Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=06LAGOS82&q=goodluck
STILL ON THE DOUBT OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S INTEGRITY AND COMPETENCE
As Nigerians come to grips with the probability of Yar'Adua's demise, there appears to be growing public support -- even in the North -- for Vice President Jonathan to assume the presidential mantle. Despite widespread doubts about Jonathan's integrity and competence, there is encouraging deference, at least in public, to the principle that the constitutionally-prescribed line of succession should be respected.

JONATHAN CLEARLY OUT OF DEPTH
¶17. (C) A Shell member of the crisis response team also doubts the Bayelsa team's veracity. Bayelsa Governor Goodluck Jonathan told a reliable contact of his that he had been personally threatened by the militia group holding the hostages. The contact assessed Jonathan as clearly out of his depth. Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=06LAGOS98&q=goodluck
JONATHAN PAID NIGER DELTA MILITANTS 100MILLION NAIRA IN JAN.2006 AS RANSOM
¶7. (C) Mitee said the group held fast to their demands, the release of Dokubo Asari and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, amnesty for the kidnappers, and improvements for the people living in the Niger Delta. He said they did not raise the issue of ransom money, until he was abruptly informed the hostages would not be turned over to him after all. At that point, the leaders informed a perplexed Mitee that Bayelsa Governor Goodluck Jonathan offered 100 million naira. After some internal dispute about the money, they accepted Bayelsa's largesse. The kidnappers told Mitee they would use the 100 million naira to purchase longer-range weapons. Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=06LAGOS235&q=goodluck
ON JONATHAN'S BAYELSA PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVES
¶5. (SBU) Jonathan,s BPI is a product of both benign public interest and selfish political motives. Regarding Jonathan,s political motives, he wants the PDP 2007 gubernatorial nomination but is facing stiff competition from Timi Alaibe, the NDDC Executive Director for Finance. Taking over the government office less than a year ago, Jonathan needs to distinguish himself, establish a political base and then distance himself from Alaibe. Despite the obvious political flavor of the BPI, there are some encouraging things in it. However, before we move to pat Jonathan on the back for this initiative or even contemplate support thereof, we need to better gauge how much of this actually is enlightened policy and how much is electoral politics. END COMMENT. Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=06LAGOS1076&q=goodluck
RAJAKUMARI ALSO NOTED GOODLUCK JONATHAN INCOMPETENCE
¶1. (S) Summary: On June 18, 2008, Poloff met with Rajakumari Jandhyala (strictly protect throughout), a United Nations employee on loan to Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan's office to aid in the development of a strategy to end unrest in the Niger Delta. While describing the GON's Niger Delta initiatives to Poloff, Jandhyala complained that the team in the Vice-President's office was not up to the challenge of properly formulating, vetting, and implementing a comprehensive plan. She also said President Yar'Adua was unaware of how poorly crafted the process has been to date.. Source: https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=08ABUJA1226&q=goodluck
I hope you enjoyed reading this sir and i guess you forgot the saying "Those who live in glass house do not throw stone"
All the best as you continue to ridicule and useless the office you occupy and also tarnish the image of the Nigeria Nation with your unguarded and ill-thought utterances.
Very soon, the people will decide... Olarewaju Olaniyi Precious @olaniyiop on Twitter Cable reference id: #08ABUJA1226 cablegatesearch.wikileaks.
And you with certifcate,tell me someone in your bloodline that has achieve and sacrifice as much as the General did for Nigeria..
This man started sacrificing for the Nation from 18years of age.
Your fathers and uncles were hiding under the table when these men were defending the Unity of Nigeria
For the Goofball OP slandering General an illiterate..You lack the intellectual acuity to call a Graduate of one of the best Military academy in the world..
I listen to the interview live..we all have a peculiar accent even with his thick hausa accent I felt the honety and passion to save Nigeria in his speech..
Truth is self-evident. Facts do not need debates. All the propaganda in the world cannot make a lie true. What is Right, like Goodness, uplifts. Evil depresses, even to one who pretends they are hardened.
You can keep spreading the lies and attacking his personality but that won't stop people from loving the amiable and incorruptible General
