Its so funny d way people think. Most of the quotes above were written for Jonathan. Buhari on the other hand might not be fluent or as educated as Jonathan but I think he's more sound. If u want to judge by quotes, pls bring out madam PEJ's quotes. Atleast Jonathan was her lecturer. Like student, like lecturer. Thank U.

Whynotthetruth:
Our dear President Goodluck Jonathan has in the course of the life this administration, used and dropped so many words of wisdom; to which we can learn a lot from...It is food for thought for all and worthy of our meditation topics in our quite time...

1)MY AMBITION IS NOT WORTH THE BLOOD OF ANY NIGERIAN... GEJ

2)DEMOCRACY CALLS FOR SACRIFICE AND TOLERANCE, AN OPEN EAR AND A STRONG VOICE...GEJ

3)CYNICISM AND SCEPTICISM WILL NOT HELP OUR JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. LET US BELIEVE IN A NEW NIGERIA...GEJ

4)I PREFER TO SEE THE SILVER LINING IN A DARK CLOUD RATHER THE DARK CLOUD IN A SILVER LINING... GEJ

5)WE ARE NOT SWORN ENEMIES... WE'RE NEIGHBORS WHO SOMETIMES OFFEND EACH OTHER BUT CAN ALWAYS SIT DOWN TO TALK OVER OUR DIFFERENCES...GEJ

6)OUR FOUNDING FATHERS...DID NOT DREAM OF A COUNTRY WHERE NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS WOULD EXCHANGE BULLETS IN PLACE OF HANDSHAKES...GEJ

7)GOD IS A GOD OF DIVERSITY. GOD CREATED A DIVERSE WORLD FOR HIS OWN PURPOSE. WHAT WILL THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IF ALL OF US WERE OF THE SAME HEIGHT, COLOUR, GENDER, NATIONALITY AND ETHNICITY? I THINK IT WILL BE BORING...GEJ

coolI HAVE COME TO LAUNCH A CAMPAIGN OF IDEAS, NOT ONE OF CALUMNY. I HAVE TO COME TO PREACH LOVE, NOT HATE. I HAVE COME TO BREAK YOU AWAY FROM DIVISIVE TENDENCIES OF THE PAST WHICH HAVE SLOWED OUR DRIVE TO TRUE NATIONHOOD. I HAVE NO ENEMIES TO FIGHT. YOU ARE ALL MY FRIENDS AND WE SHARE A COMMON DESTINY...GEJ

9)IN PRESENTING MYSELF FOR SERVICE, I MAKE NO PRETENCE THAT I HAVE A MAGIC WAND THAT WILL SOLVE ALL OF NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS OR THAT I AM THE MOST INTELLIGENT NIGERIAN... GEJ

10)ANY SOCIETY OR COUNTRY THAT CLOSES THE VITAL VALVES OF ITS DEMOCRATIC SPACE CANNOT DEVELOP AT A REASONABLE PACE...GEJ

There are so many more to add...but let me allow others to contribute before I continue again...
God bless Our President...
God bless us Citizens...
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria...

Please educate yourself. Read this lecture delivered by Gen. bBuhari...http://www.waado.org/nigerdelta/essays/politics/Buhari.html

Please educate yourself. Read this lecture delivered by Gen. bBuhari...http://www.waado.org/nigerdelta/essays/politics/Buhari.html


Meaning What's the meaning of the link you sent to me Did you read it at all Who calls a prostitute to deliver lecture on the importance of virginity Does the prostitute have the answer? Why call Buhari to deliver a lecture on democracy? Is he a democrat? Does he have the experience of a democrat? A round peg in a square hole The speech is contradiction of Buhari's person and actions...let him practice those things he wrote...

Check out some points he raised;
1)Asking students to rise and speak out when he, as head of state abolished students unionism...isn't it hypocrisy?

2)Asking the media to report government dealings always...what did he do to media when he was in power? decree 4

3)Accusing government of irresponsible priority by building stadium instead of funding universities... what did he do in that sector as military administrator and head of state

4)Encouraging lecturers and other intellectuals to speak up...what did he do to them when he was in charge remember Tai Solarin?

5)Asking leaders to be both good leaders & good losers too...Is he one? When he lost in 2003,2007,2011...what did he do? Worst still in 2011
Remind him that charity begins at home...let him practice what he says...shikena
Hypocrisy of highest order...

[b]When asked about the location of the Boko Haram group who kidnapped the schoolgirls, President Jonathan said: “I don’t know where they are… there is no confirmation of the location of the schoolgirls, you are a journalist, you know more than me.”

- When asked about the government’s effort to bring the missing girls back home safely, President Jonathan said: “I assure you that we will get the girls out but we can only do it with the co-operation of their parents and guardians.”

- When asked about the attitude of the Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke to calls for her to appear before the House of Representative members over her alleged utilization of public funds in hiring private jets, President Jonathan said: “The Petroleum Minister has appeared before the Parliament for over 200 days [really?]… in the Nigerian Parliament you’ll agree with me that there is more politics than work.”

- While speaking about the differences between the Boko Haram Islamic sect and Niger Delta militants, the President said: “The Niger Delta militants are not terrorists, they have a reason for their agitations.”

- While adding to this statement President Jonathan revealed more saying, “I met [Mujahid] Asari-Dokubo for the first time in the State House. Whenever we [the government] call them they come.”

- President Jonathan tried to explain why no one in his government has dared to go to Sambisa Forest, the Boko Haram enclave like he visited the creeks during the reign of Niger Delta militants saying, “If I go there or send any of my ministers they will just kill you.”

- Mr. President took time out to explain that the insurgent attacks has reduced compared to sometime ago when attacks were a Sunday-Sunday affair, he said: “Even when I’m in church I am monitoring what is happening. Anytime I get reports of an attack somewhere… my face will change immediately… my expression will change. It used to happen every Sunday.”

- President Jonathan compared the Boko Haram terrorist attacks with that currently raging in Pakistan saying: “Pakistan [terrorists] has been fighting terrorism for over 10 years now so it’s not something that a 6 months State of Emergency can solve.”

- He said further, “Anytime I hear of any one Nigerian dies I feel pained… even if it’s a Boko Haram member – I am their president.”

- Mr. President tried but failed to explain the difference between corruption and stealing. He said, “People have been confusing corruption with stealing. If public officers steal money they term it under corruption….”

And one extra…

- Mr. President wouldn’t dare allow the media chat end without throwing a parting shot at the suspended CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. While addressing the issue of ‘missing’ $20 billion he said, “If Sanusi hadn’t been suspended he would have come up with a different figure… If anyone steals $50 billion or $20 billion anywhere America will know, they will tell you where it is; it is their money.”

Do you have a problem with what he said?

Over 70% of what are called corruption (cases), even by
EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and
other anti-corruption agencies, is not corruption, but
common stealing,” the most famous quote from Goodluck
Jonathan’s 7th media chat, May 2014.

[b][/b]Most of those quotes are probably from written speeches. I bet you that our President is not as intelligent as to make some of those quotes which even a secondary school pupil can make. We all know how boring and unguided he can be when he is interviewed live. 'Ordinary Stealing'
