Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Pharoh: 11:50pm On Mar 18, 2011 |
NIGERIANS CANT BE FOOLED BY ATTEMPT TO USURP THE RIGHT OF BROADCATING ORGANISATION OF NIGERIA[BON]OVER PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. I just got this from a comment posted on facebook, can we analyze the excuse given by this Nigerian?. In my opinion i very much think that they are genuine and legitimate with all other added factors. |

Lame, Lame, Lame Excuses What has the age of a station got to do with hosting a presidential debate. With the abysmal records of PDP who want to stand for debate when there is absolute nothing worthy to defend in debate after 12 years of misrule. Tell one thing worthy that i could be proud to defend as pdp president. |

@Poster, that is STUPID!! What sort of excuse is that |

[size=30pt]you can only defend PDP if you are one of two things: 1) personally benefiting from some connection with the PDP or 2) just plain plum dum.b which one are you?[/size] |

I mean if a president can't keep a simple promise by attending a presidential debate, how are we supposed to believe the promises made during his election campaign, absolutely pathetic |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:19am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Exactly, he said he would attend and didn't show last minute. Now people are cooking up ridiculous excuses for this?? Gosh!! http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13401163 |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Pharoh: 12:22am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: He said he will attend the debate organized by BON only. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:22am On Mar 19, 2011 |
NO, he said he will attend the NN24 Debate . . . they even waited a bit for him. http://www.saharareporters.com/news-page/finally-jonathan-agrees-television-debate |

Pharoh: How come we have allowed ourselves to be deceived by these mischievous |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Pharoh: 12:28am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: No maam that was old news because two days ago they came out with a clear cut explanation concerning their stand on debates. Jonathan Will Not Attend NN24 Debate – Presidency http://allafrica.com/stories/201103160641.html |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Nobody: 12:32am On Mar 19, 2011 |
timbuktwo said: you can only defend PDP if you are one of two things: Oh do shut up. For your information, MANY Nigerians DO support PDP for all sorts of reasons, not least because MANY Nigerians have seen their living standards and incomes RISE under the PDP govt. From lecturers to doctors, nurses, and bankers et al. Many Nigerians have actually done WELL under this govt. I know it's hard for you to accept that, but it's the cold hard TRUTH. Now bugger off. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:32am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Pharoh: This was after accepting the NN24. He said, "The Presidency has not accepted any of the invitations to debate which have come so far from a plethora of groups and associations because we believe that this multiplicity of competing platforms detracts from the seriousness, gravity and unified national focus that should normally be associated with presidential debates. But there is NO SUCH THING as a traditional Platform for staging presidential debates in Nigeria. That statement is just as silly as claiming there is a PARTICULAR WAY Presidential interviews ought to be conducted. So, I particularly thought this a farce, and looked forward instead to the President coming out to correct that nonsense. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by timbuktwo: 12:33am On Mar 19, 2011 |
^^^ unbelievable. on the day the country realised that of CinC is a lily-livered fairy, you are still trying to defend him. it's people like you that keep this country in the dark. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Sagamite(m): 12:33am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Someone should ask the mooron that gave such lame excuse on FB if ABC is owned by the US govt. Or if Skynews or ITV decided to hold a Presidential debate, the PM will not turn up. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Newscaster: 12:35am On Mar 19, 2011 |
NN24 is seen only on cable in Nigeria - it doesnt have a national coverage - you have to be on DSTV to get it. How many people have DSTV in Nigeria? Come on. Use your brain cells. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Nobody: 12:37am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Sagamite said: Someone should ask the mooron that gave such lame excuse on FB if ABC is owned by the US govt. Or if Skynews or ITV decided to hold a Presidential debate, the PM will not turn up. The PM won't just ''turn up'' because it's Sky or ITV. An awful lot of protocol and dealing would go into any decision made by the UK PM to attend a TV debate. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:39am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Newscaster:Facebook is seen only ONLINE in Nigeria--- that has not stopped the president from using that as his MAJOR channel for reaching the Nigerian people. I don't get the many excuses . . . really! |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Pharoh: 12:39am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: Which was their final position so i wonder why NN24 was then waiting for the president after this declaration. Kobojunkie: There actually has been a traditional platform and the new stations are just trying to steal the show, the link below explains the traditional platform and goodluck also came out with an official reply for skipping this debate as well. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-626791.0.html |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by sesman(m): 12:40am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Pharoh: That's fair enough, if he had already previously stated that he will not attend NN24's debate then perhaps we should give him the benefit of the doubt |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by timbuktwo: 12:41am On Mar 19, 2011 |
ROSSIKE: aha. another PDP apologist. let me guess, your daddy is a commissioner for one of the Governors, si? i'm right, aren't i?? |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Newscaster: 12:41am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: LOL. U compare the number of people on Facebook to the number of DSTV subscribers. Come back home. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Sagamite(m): 12:43am On Mar 19, 2011 |
ROSSIKE: And what amount of protocol did he need to attend a debate he knew about for over 2 months? How come the protocol did not prevent him for finding time to be interviewed by Dbanj at short notice? |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by timbuktwo: 12:44am On Mar 19, 2011 |
what's this nonsense about there being a "tradition" of holding presidential debates on a particular platform how many bloomin presidential debates have there been in this country and yet people are talking about tradition!! |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:45am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Pharoh: No, we do not have a traditional platform . . . BON has simply been involved in organizing some past debates. that does not now make them the one and only group that can. I can't believe you are even swallowing this up. NO one Organization out there HAS THE SOLE RIGHTS on presidential debates. That is against what these debates really represent. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by blacksta(m): 12:45am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: GBAM - sTop wasting your time with these people . they cant reason. I have heard excuses but this latest one is the greatest of all. Anyway foul yansh will be exposed after election day. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Nobody: 12:46am On Mar 19, 2011 |
And what amount of protocol did he need to attend a debate he knew about for over 2 months? The issue is not the time frame. The issue is protocol. Under what authority are NN24 hosting a presidential debate? These things can be easily rigged to favour one side or the other, so not just anyone can call a presidential debate because they run a tv station. How come the protocol did not prevent him for finding time to be interviewed by Dbanj at short notice? An interview is not a presidential debate. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:47am On Mar 19, 2011 |
Newscaster: The above are not from my mind but from yours. I suggest you re-read to understand the response better. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by timbuktwo: 12:51am On Mar 19, 2011 |
regardless of what you two guys are saying on here the whole world is agog with gej's no show. just twitter goodluck jonathan or go to his facebook face and you'll see what REAL nigerians are thinking. some people on here are so out of touch with reality. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Kobojunkie: 12:52am On Mar 19, 2011 |
. . . NO one group has SOLE RIGHTS to PRESIDENTIAL Debates . . . that is UNHEARD OF. |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Newscaster: 12:53am On Mar 19, 2011 |
timbuk two: thats their opinion - just like others have the right to make theirs. Dont u know? There are 21 Presidential candidates. Not 4. What will u say about others? |
Re: Reason Why Jonathan Did Not Attend The Presidential Debate by Sagamite(m): 12:54am On Mar 19, 2011 |
ROSSIKE: Rigged? How? So the national broadcaster of an African nation is irriggable (if that is a word)? So NTA cannot rig in his favour considering he is in charge of appointing their bosses? So what is his excuse? "I prefer a station where I am the one that can rig?" What authority does a TV station need to host a presidential debate? Which of the two stations is more likely to be riggable? The one where one of the candidates is Lord over their Lords (IN AFRICA) or the private one that it can be conjectured that it is likely susceptible to rigging? ROSSIKE: So he had time? |
