What leads to being prosecuted on issues of plagiarism? What will be the situation before a legal proceeding is embarked on?

OLODO RABATA!!!

Kasich:
in as much as I'd like to ignore you and your comments for lack of understanding and foresight, I'll enlighten you a little on this issue

When u proof read it doesn't necessarily means you are checking just only grammatical errors and language structure, rather it entails d act of checking for the overall soundness of your write up, does it make sense? Will my listeners and readers grasp the idea? Am I communicating? Is the content original? And lots and lots of other things are considered too

For a campaign of such social magnitude one would have gone through the speech with whoever wrote, thereafter if accepted, you ask your special advisers to check for plagiarism, which is even easy to to detect with advanced search through google.

Am not asking him to write his speeches, all am saying is that he could have avoided the whole drama if he had shown a little seriousness towards this ' Change begins with me' campaign.

When will Jonathan apologize for brazen corruption under his corruptarian regime?

Saintp:


Some people are just irredeemable. The president has seen the error and has apologised to avoid further embrassment then you are here still defending that there is no plagiarism because PMB can do no wrong. How stupid can some of you get?

wolesmile:



Did you bother to check both speeches? And you call that copying word for word?

Kasich:



OMG!!!


Must u keep blaming everyone for your ineptitude

How's this an apology Shifting the blame to an overzealous staff, why couldn't u just proof-read the material yourself or have Garba Shehu himself go through it before going on air

This is irresponsibility, cowardice, and stupidity. There are certain mistakes I am ashamed of making at this young age of mine one of which is shifting blame to others when I could have avoided d whole drama

I'd be ashamed to be Buhari's media aid personally, because the things he makes them do and say atimes makes you question their qualifications and crisis handling capacity

abraka00:
How do you call that if not 'word for word'?

AZeD1:

Proof reading cannot detect plagiarism that's why there are specialised softwares for that.
You can read a text a hundred times and not know if it was plagiarised.

The government pays people to write speech, if they cannot do their jobs properly, they should be sanctioned.


Lol at the President should have gone through the speech with the writer....

You should also tell him to go through flight plans with his pilot or go through cooking plans with his cook to make sure the salt is not too much.

DaniDani:
the first time to apologize but on an irrelevant thing .why not apologize to zombies for deceiving them and running the economy aground.. well, they are good in misplacing priorities.

ogawisdom:


Stop quoting me from ur nursery sch until u graduate from kindergarten sense

muller101:
Luckily for him. He didn't end the copied speech with God bless America.

Have you ever heard of copyscape or plagiarism checker before?

Is plagiarism a grammatical error that proof reading will make u detect? Do u expect them to know all Obama's speeches offhand. The only person that could have known it was plagiarized is someone that knows abt that particular Obama's speech....

Kasich:
as for you Mr. Defender...ignorance is not an excuse, you obviously do not know the consequences of plagiarism and it's legal implications because you have never published anything before I'm your life, not even am original Facebook post perhaps

With google alone you can check for plagiarism within a minute, the fact that you don't know this and you are unwilling to learn baffles me... Keep defending his mistakes hopefully some day you will see the light, but until then try to get an education, you'd thank me later

Nateben:
This must be Buhari's quote, this man keeps f**cking us in the $ss without even lubricant.... SMH for his supporters.

hotspec:
Your comment shows ure not learned. PLAGIARISM is a global criminal offence. The academics know better. Plagiarism, copyright infringement, piracy, patent/ trademark infringement are all CRIMINAL OFFENCE on Intellectual properties.

udumosam23:



Thought i was the only one who saw that, this is no apology. He has even committed the greater crime of concieving deceit by committing another who could be innocent to take a fall for his blunders. This govt. Is a joke.

Oblang:


Comprehension problem is what u are suffering from. Proof reading alone is not enough to detect plagiarism except u are very familiar with the work bin plagiarized. Who is talking abt Google or plagiarism software here... Obama himself might not even remember he made the exact speech... If u are so pained u can decide to go to court for Obama...

Kasich:

Alright thank you... You won.... Move along please OLODO

iyke484real:
my brother you either have little or no capacity intellectual wise to comment on this issue.....nd I mean no offense Pls. But let me explain to you : plagiarism is deceitfully ingenious, its an act of unseriousness, fraud and incompetency It clearly definds the president's cluelessness position in his point of duty as a president

chiedu7:
Nobody should be surprised.

Speeches can only be done with education.

Buhari's lack of education is embarrassing Nigeria

It's like u lots have comprehension problem. Proof reading alone is not enough detect plagiarism except u are familiar with the work bin plagiarized. No one is talking abt plagiarism software here...

Kasich:


Eyah.... No wonder you cannot make a sound judgement, you feel everyone is as lazy as you are.. Other Presidents do it when they need to address the public.

Google it up n u see Obama, Putin and the like with their speech writers in a room brainstorming...

Please get a life and stop dragging this issue, a mistake has been made, efforts should be made also in order to forestall its reoccurrence, not by sacking the guy who drafted it, rather employ more hands that will work effectively

Longevo:

It's really embarrassing to know that my president can't even write his speech. He should go back to school and learn some of these things instead of embarrassing Nigerians like that.

Comprehension is alien to you vividly. Every writer knows he/she should check his/her writeup for plagiarism. It has become a culture in the writing sphere in this age. You should keep shut if you don't know how things operate.
