The fact that people are actually holding brief for that lunatic of a prof. is shocking!

How can someone who is in US quote a section of a constitution which says the president should be removed if he is insane and spits it on our faces that our president is insane? Chai! Nigeria or is it nairaland is full of surprises!

I remember when some guys from Ghana made a song 'thank God we are not a Nigerians', everybody on nairaland swooped on them that they have NO RIGHT to tell us that we are corrupt. Now a Ghanaian insulted the president of Nigeria and toddlers on nairaland are hailing him. Egwu dikwa! Nairaland has been overtaken by teenagers and that is a fact!

*By the way that prof. sounds like a nairalander. Those words he used undecided undecided undecided .....

hercules07:

I am not infatuated with Ribadu, infact, I voted Buhari not him though I have sympathies for ACN, the president is meant to inspire confidence and to give hope, if driving into Maiduguri was the only choice, then he should have done it, I expect my President to lead from the front and to show BH that he is not deterred by their craziness, heck, world leaders visit war zones, why can GEJ not do the same in Maiduguri. The Prof. should not have called him of unsound mind, but, all other criticisms are justified, no sensible world leader will give that kind of media chat and expect to be taken seriously.

Let's assume that GEJ arrived in Borno after driving 525 miles for 10 hours (actually it would take longer, with breaks and stops being necessary) with a large security detail.

What then? What would he do? His merely going there would boost your confidence that Boko Haram is being dealt with?

I'm sorry but all of this sounds like nonsense to me. The funny thing here is that you don't really have a valid point because GEJ was operating under the same sentimental thinking you are in wanting to go there to show he was serious and he actually planned on going there but he wanted to take the safest and most sensible route in and out. Since the degree to which he should look out for his own personal safety is determined by himself and his security chiefs and not others I don't see how his not going there simply because he couldn't do it in the way believed to be optimal for his security is a valid reason to attack him. It just doesn't make sense any way I look at it.

Mekusnwa: Where did they go to pick this character from? There's no end to what theses Gej haters will not do to get at him. Suddenly, they hve gone to generate a Ghanian professor to come and give a disjointed analyses of that interesting Media chat. Who interviewed this professor? Who made him world's foremost economist? I will not be surprised if this man was cloned by SAHARAREPORTERS or Kobojunkie to lend credibility to their falsehood. Let me assume that the man exist and face the issues raised.
1. He acted in ignorance when he said the president didn't declare his assets. The president indeed declared his assets but it was not made public. Even if you doubt it, the assets declaration that he did as Vp under Yaradua still subsists as he has not left office since then. So why the noise over assets declaration?
2. It is an insult on the sensibilities of Nigerians for the so called Ayitteh to label our President as insane and with unsound mind. Who adjudged Jonathan as having unsound mind? Did Ayitteh evaluate a medical report to that effect? How did he arrive at this weighty derogatory statement against a PHD holder? Who is Ayitteh to tell us we voted an insane President? please there must be an end to useless propaganda.
3. The so called Ayitteh questioned why GEJ has not fixed Maidugri airport for his usage. I want to ask, has Ghana even fixed the airport at Accra talkless of the one in hinterland? Is it Not the airport where a cargo aircraft crashed due to water logged runway. Meanwhile, Gej is carrying out massive reconstruction of airports across the country. He is doing in less than one year what many of his predecessors could not do all thru their tenure. Go to Abuja airport, the domestic wing has been closed down for intensive renovation. New car parks are being built. At the international wing, the runways are being built and the entire airport infrastructure is being rebuilt. Similar projects are going on simultaneously in Enugu, Lagos, etc
4. He said GEJ's Agric revolution is only restricted to distribution of palm seedlings. What an affront on truth. Even a toddler in Nigeria has come to know about the cassava revolution and fertilizer distribution reforms scheme.
5. Thankfully, the fake prof accepted the massive construction of rail lines across the country but only faulted the projects on account of what he described as non inclusion of Nigerians in the contract. Who told him? And since when has a Ghanian assumed the role of our local content enforcement officer?
6. He ended up betraying his true identity as an interested party when he said the president needed to consult the university authority and students body before renaming Unilag. What a joke!
Guy you are clueless and moronic,that media chat was disastrous and disgraceful.

Even if they had access to the interview, it would be very hard for them to understand what he was saying. His speaking skills is not clear, coherent and fluent. Imagine him repeatedly using "take light" instead of "power outage" and some other bad sentences.

Hmm
Between an internationally respected Professor of repute and you, I think we know who most people would pick as the dumbass, to be honest.

Picking just ONE point to post this epistle is not worthy of the intelligence most people here used to associate with you. Have you been compromised too, that you readily abdicate common sense?

You make assumptions that are not guaranteed to be factual. Even more bizarre is your insistence that GEJ has declared his assets - even when the man himself admits he has not done so and will not do so. Strange.

Texazzpete,

I know you're fond of delivering insults to other posters when making your points grin, so I'll just overlook that as a character flaw and hope you improve in the future rather than lashing back in a similar manner.

It's funny that you claimed I "posted an epistle". Common sense would indicate that most of my post was a quotation of a news article. I included it in it's entirety to provide context, not just to make a long post.

All I'll say to you is that your last few sentences in this post give you away as somebody who - like the clueless professor of political criticism who made his name doing nothing but criticizing - sometimes can't be bothered to verify your "facts". GEJ declared his assets as president of Nigeria in 2010. End of.

In the spirit of oneness, I would like to appeal to all nigerians to stop this perpetual criticism of the personality of the president because presently he symbolises Nigeria. Admittedly, his performance is not up to your expectations but you voted him in and that puts the blame on the you because it proves that your judgement is inexcusably poor. The man served as a deputy governor, governor, vice president and president before you voted for him again. His previous performance should have given you the opportunity to access him and decide. If truly we need a change we should not let our religious and tribal differences affect our judgment in selecting a leader.

not all clothes are meant to be dried in the sun.
Let us chase away the fox first and later rebuke the hen.

What mr president needs right is our support. Sure it may be in form of criticism but it should be constructive. He is all we got now let's deal with it. All patriotic nigerians should rise up and ask that big mouthed professor to shut his trap.

Now that's the problem with people. They always seem they can do it better. This is the 'most foolish' intellectual I've ever heard of. Just thinks he can open his wide unbrushed mouth and spew out errant rubbish. What does he know about the terrain of Nigerian politics that he thinks he can sit at his critic's chair and judge from his jumbled up intellectual point of view? Even if he may sound convincing enough, he should have made his 'suppossed judgement' in the privacy of his pathethic palour, not on the internet. I don't blame him anyway. He's obviously redundant and washed up of his intellectual capacity.

We should not even be discussing asset declaration in a country ridden with corruption. If the president can not declare his assets, what's the point in fighting corruption? If he can not lead by example, why is he still there? If he could declare publicly few years ago, why not now? What has changed? I think GEJ is hiding something. There is no other plausible explanation other than that.

The learned professor is simply put, an idiot and a mere agitator.
He surely without a doubt a mouthpiece for someone else.

There is a difference between "insult" and "criticise"

Mr professor needs to be schooled on the appropriate way to communicate to other dignitaries, most especially if their words could incite uproar/emotional response from the supporters of the other party involved.

Until then, he needs to shut up and learn how it is done properly.

No, I am not a supporter neither am I a non-supporter of the president!

@Post

I don't care if I get insulted or called unpatriotic. I am in support of what Prof. Ayittey said. I knew that some Nigerians will kick against what he said because he is not a Nigerian but the truth must be told. GEJ's administration is horrible and I feel sorry for the way things in Nigeria are going. Nigeria is heading to hell in a basket. I have nothing against GEJ personally but the way he is ruling Nigeria makes my stomach turn.

We need to put sentiments aside because as far as I am concerned, it is time we Nigerians take a good look at ourselves and our country. Nothing seems to be working and maybe we are waiting for boko haram to start throwing bombs in other parts of the country before we realize that things cannot go on the way they are going now. I trust Nigerians won't listen due to inflated pride and stubborness so let's keep living in our mess.

He therefore called on Nigerians to rid themselves of GEJ as soon as possible ........i guex dat prof guy is jobless n i suggest GEJ shuld consider offering him one.......GHANANIAN APE

LMAO. No, i usually deliver insults to m0r0ns. But we both know you aren't one. I didn't really go beyond the 'dumbass' word you used to describe the eminent professor. I'm sure when you have time for private reflection you'll see how ill chosen that word was.

Either way, if GEJ insists he has not and will not declare his assets, what else am i supposed to verify?

Unless of course you're insinuating and insisting that your President lied to the nation during his Media chat and in such a way that can be easily refuted by a search of 2010 Newspapers. In that case, you'll be proving the Professor's point that your president is not exactly the brightest bulb in the closet grin

As for your 'doing nothing but criticizing' statement, what else, really, is expected of a common man but to pay his taxes and obey all laws of the land? Does any man who do these things faithfully not have the right to criticize unmercifully if his leaders do not hold up their side of the bargain?

Harsh words aside, it is not very wise to focus ALL your ire on the Professor for just ONE point you disagree with. While I respect you as an intelligent poster on Nairaland, I am more wary these days...I used to defend Reuben Abati tooth and nail on this forum as the very essence of a patriotic Nigerian who spoke the truth to his Government.
