Mrs. Jonathan started her career as a teacher at the Stella Maris College, Port Harcourt and Sports Institute Isake. She then moved to the banking sector in 1997, where she established the first community bank in Port Harcourt called the Akpo Community Bank. Mrs. Jonathan also served as Marketing Manager of Imiete Community Bank. She returned to the classroom briefly again as teacher. Eventually she was transferred to the Bayelsa State Ministry of Education, where she served until May 29th 1999 when her husband became the Deputy Governor of the state.

@Naijaking, I don't recall seeing Turai on the campaign trail telling people to vote for PDP. First ladies are very public figures and when they stick their necks out publicly, they shouldn't be surprised if they get the attention they crave. Madame Patience' continued embarassment of GEJ is another sign that the man is too weak, a strong man will tell her to stop embarassing herself and others - nolongtin.

As you stated in your dear thread whein you announced to NLers that Pastor Bakare's former name was Sindiku, if Madame Patience cannot read, she cannot read. shikena.

This is the funniest thing I've heard. Dude, the greatest thing that attracts people to the Jonathans is the way the woman in the market and man in the street see themselves in the "first family."
You can speak all the English you want, but to the voting masses, Patience Jonathan is a magnet. She is very successful at what she is doing, she pulled a far bigger crowd than Buhari could dream of in Ibadan.

Just look at it this way, she is not speaking to you, but there are a million others who do not have shoes, who have no car to drop them off at school; they hear her call and believe in Goodluck.

Goodluck to you, my friend. And Goodluck to a better Nigeria.

Beaf, your defense of the disgraceful embarassment of the President and herself, by the first lady, is pathetic, inexcuseable and pitiful. With people like you advicing the president, it is no wonder that GEJ's gaffes are just as bad as his wife's. Can you people find a way to reach these people who do not have shoes, as you described them, without embarassing yourselves. [b]With olodos like you as advisers, I shouldn't be surprised.[/b]Tell your uncle who made you a special adviser, that it is impossible to stop most political waves - Buharism is a wave that is sweeping across Nigeria and appears to be unstoppable.

Get your copy!!!

Remii:

some words are difficult for some people in some areas to pronounce.

With all due respects, not mocking any tribe:

Lagos kids have problem with "r" "oi e o pe" instead of "ori e o pe".
Ibadan have theirs with "sh" that is why you hear jokes like , kini soo (show) soo suo (show sure)
Delta (Urhobo in particular) don't call "L" well, they call "Nateef" instead of Lateef
Hausa /Fulani cant call "P" , "feople" instead of people.
Some Calabar guys call "Younson" instead of Johnson

I have heard Ibos call "umbllera" instead of Umbrella.

so its just accents,

Even there are American and British pronunciations. Anti is called as written by British while Americans call it 'antai". It is preventive in British and preventative in America

I've said it on Nairaland and I keep saying it. Let no coward who sits in London or US washing plates or dead bodies not get our attention into posts that does not make any meaning to us. U sit in wherever and u criticize people in Nigeria here, in case u don't know, we are better than u so stop defacing our first lady. Every tribe has their own accent and english might just be a problem so what? Most of us too have accents and no one is killing us for it. Poster why don't u just shove it up your a.s.s? Cos whether u like it or not, we need fresh air!

Eko Ile:



This is exactly why we're trying to get rid of GEJ and the rest of you primitive and backward clowns.


If the governor of a state, a vice president and a president no fit organize education abi tutoring for his own wife, what's he got to offer our students and Nigerians general in terms of education?
