DO YOU KNOW ENGLISH IS NOT OUR FIRST LANGUAGE? THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED MIS-SPEAKING!!!!! NO PRESIDENT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD INTENTIONALLY DECLARE HIS INTENT TO VIOLATE A "LAW OF THE LAND". I CAN CRITICIZE GEJ FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT BUT ONE THING I FIND VERY IMPRESSIVE ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT IS HIS TRANSPARENCY.....SECOND TO NONE.....THAT'S THE ONLY REASON NIGERIAN'S HAVE THE LIBERTY TO EVEN BE ABLE TO CRITICIZE HIM!!!!!!

Mandelaguy: where is this one coming from? You are the one who appears very lost on the issue at hand. If all you could do after reading thru this summary was to post " this one is lost" then there is a problem. Your mates have been reviewing the chat summary and picking out holes or salient points contained therein but you chose to review other people's post. Quite unfortunate. I hve been able to deduce 10 things from the Presidents chat as follows:
1. The sack of Azazi was effected in a bid to improve on the security networking
2. The president was still ontop of the security situation in the country from Brasil.
3. He did not cancel his Brasilian trip so as not to bolster the confidence of Boko Haram further.
4. He is working to attract foreign investors into the power sector and there arose the need to increas tariffs to encourage them to come in.
5. He said the new tariffs demands more from the rich and less from the poor.
6. He said that he made sure the YOUWIN scheme was accessible to youths without unnecessary connections. He also said that those who missed should wait for the next round
7. He said his govt is making fertilizer more accessible to farmers.
8. He says he is carrying out reforms in many sectors and those who want to crticise him can go ahead till the reforms start yielding dividends
9. He said the concession of Lagos-ibadan has legal issues to be resolved in court.
10. He said he' will not negotiate with faceless terrorist groups.
Oya, Mr. Lost. pls tell me what you heard in the Presidents chat. Over to you.

haaaaaa....i have to do this...let me reason at your level......I think you are the biggest and deepest CU NT on nairaland....now wallow in that.....OLORIBURUKU ASHEWO....yeah...my Nigerian Yoruba father taught me that!!!!

BetaThings:
If there is an aspect that you want to discuss, do so. People are free to discuss whichever aspect they want
It is not true that no Nigerian obeys the law. It is simply not true
By definition, if everyone is a criminal, there would be chaos
Just let all Nigerians disobey traffic lights or drive against the traffic on a one way road
The hospitals would be full
If GEJ flouts the law, what right would he have to say EFCC should go after anyone like he said yesterday
And he publicly swore to defend the constitution.
So his level of responsibility should be higher

engineerd:
Well, though its hard for me to say, she actually has a point. I originally was attacking from a different point of view of "OPEN" declaration, because i didn't think it was required by law!! If we are to go by the books, which we should, GEJ has no excuse!!! I yes i missed the declaration part of his speech....I just feel this adds no value to Nigeria's complex problem at the moment...its a case of putting the cart before the horse...But rules are rules!!

engineerd:

I think u are possessed !!! LOL...ok...i apologize for all my prior insults, but i think you should learn to show some diplomacy sometimes when putting your point across!! Strictly speaking, u were right....and all of a sudden GEJ's foot soldiers are no where to be found!

engineerd: lets simplify this...HAS THE PRESIDENT DECLARED HIS ASSETS TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES AS REQUIRED BY THE LAW?

msb247: GEJ was just trying to be funny with the way he was talking when he's actually boring. As for me, the whole thing didn't make any sense! What a chat!! What a country!!!

What we need is action not those common things we hear all the time...

ayobase:

I cant answer that on his behalf.
The question is....is that what is needed at this perilious time in Naija?
Imagine the headline on BBC ''THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, GEJ DECLARES ASSETS AMISDT PREVALENT CHAOS EMANATING FROM THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY''
The same pple like u will castigate the man!

nadabo70: Mr. Jonathan also explained why he had not visited Maiduguri and Damaturu, two hot beds of sectarian violence. He said the airport was ill-maintained for his plane to land, adding that he could not travel by helicopter for security reasons.

(And yet you have Arik air and IRS airline flying in and out of maiduguri everyday.perhaps their lives are of no concern to mr. president).

mr_man: So no mention of cassava bread and chinese bulb? So no mention of cassava bread and chinese bulb?

mbulela: What difference will asset declaration make sef?
It is not like any of these barbarians in power are living within their means.
You have elected MPs stealing 620million dollars in cash and calling it a trial from God.
Same guy is receiving well wishers in his house and you are people are talking about asset declaration.
I don't care whether he declares his assets or not. I am more worried by the fact that the guy is inept and has been promoted far above his ability.
With this man at the helm, we seem doomed.

dedeike: Best presidential media chat ever in recent times. mr president clearly won our hearts with his answers on so many of the issues raised. Thank you Bayoooo for posting this summary so that people like KOBOJUNKIE will be well informed

http:

Gbam, the man said in public that he will not obey the law that make him President and upon the same law he derived his power from...
Nigeria is doomed, and the worst part of it is the so called educated youth here on nairaland and in Nigeria as a whole still defending these criminals.... this guy just spit in our face and says i don't give a hole...we can go to hell.

being educated does not remove the sycophant in these slowpoke youth [/b]that have sold their brain to the devil...
When we go abroad, what do we hear... the law says this an that and we adhere to the law, [b]Nigerians are lawless starting from those crminals in Public places, hence a lawless citizens, that is why other countries treat us like criminals.

Johndoe100: A very good Q & A session by GEJ. Lots of issues clarified. I hope this gives the average Nigerian faith in what the government is doing.

Ayee Idris: GEJ may be working but Nigerians like visible results and the truth is with all the corruption, no one getting arrested, jan 1st subsidy issue,unilag name change and boko haram menace, its going to be difficult to find anything good in him. My major grouse is the "faceless" bokoharam. Since when did they became faceless? All those people that acts as their spokespersons nko? Or d sponsors he claims to know? What happens to our police intelligence? Not that I am advocating for negotiation "faceless or not" its not easy being in charge

Kobojunkie: ChannelsTV is running re-runs of the Video and again they have mentioned his refusal to declare his assets. ROFLMAO!!!

OAM4J: I can not point to anything inspiring in the whole chat.

Good I didn't waste my time watching.

Mandelaguy: In all sincerity, I have come to the conclusion that you will neve see anything good in the man. Some of us have seen through you,and we know messengers like you who abound in churches and mosques,whose trade in stock is to multiply lies,misquote people and spread discord,but you will never succeed. Like someone told you earlier,gloves are off,and people will punch out the truth from your mouth. All of us heard wha he said on asset declaration,not the way you are putting it to people. Wake up junkie.
