President Jonathan's Convoy Stoned In Yola During Campaign - BBC by KingEbukasBlog(m): 5:34pm On Jan 29, 2015
President Jonathan is currently campaigning in Yola and BBC Africa posted the report that his convoy was stoned about an hour ago on their Facebook page. Read the report below :

A convoy of vehicles carrying the Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, has been stoned by people accusing the government of failing to stop the advance of the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram. The windows on several vehicles were broken before police used tear gas and whips to disperse the crowd. The attack happened in the eastern city of Yola, where Mr Jonathan was campaigning ahead of next month's presidential election.

Protesters Stone Jonathan’s Convoy In Yola Over Failure To Crush Boko Haram



President Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy was today stoned in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, a Yola-based source told SaharaReporters.


Jonathan was in the state in continuation of his presidential campaign that is widely being resisted following his 2011 promise that he will be a one-term president.

According to the source, angry protesters were chanting anti-Jonathan songs, and condemned his failure to crush Boko Haram fighters.

The protesting citizens also destroyed cars and other valuables before security overpowered them in the course of the protest.

Mobile policemen were said to have sprayed teargas on the protesters.

As at the time of this report, the police are yet to react officially regarding the incident.

No one should condone violence .

GEJ himself stated that leaders who do not perform will be stoned. The chicken has come home to roost.

He cannot runaway from his massive failures.

Chad is now collecting Nigeria territory from Boko Haram. That is the height of GEJ's cluelessness.

According to FFK (while he was feeding from APC) - "The level of discontentment for the current PDP government is unprecedented..."

Now, that's how to show discontentment.

Some people from that part of the country are so without brains. The bh boys are not from the sky, they are from that region. They are sponsored by rich politicians from that region to kill their own people. And all these fools could do is to stone the very person that is trying his best to stop this mess.

Did the people of iraq, syria, somalia, kenya, Afghanistan etc stone their president becos of terror attacks? The Army will not make any reasonable effort if the entire people in that region do not join hands to fight this monster.
The President has offer amnesty to these people, he had dialogue with them, he pulled the mighty of the army on them, he invited america and other foreign forces , all these to no avail. What else do u people want?

Next time y'all want to stone, please stone the army top brass, stone your governors, your imams that preach violences, your boko haram family members and friends, stone any body that have brought this pain and suffering . But please leave the president alone, he has done far more for the north than he has done for his own people in niger delta

Cooperate with FG or the north is doomed. After feb 14, GEJ will still be president .

Since nobody is condemning this assault on the prime institution of Nigeria as the Presidency then it is safe to side with Dokubo and the militants on the threat the northern establishment and their urchins pose to Goodluck and the need to counterbalance this with rhetorics and sabre rattling of their own....nobody should call for anybody's arrest.

Dear Compatriots, vote according to the dictates of your conscience. Don't be manipulated. If your pastor says 'don't vote for a Muslim', ask him if Daniel served a saint; whether Modeccai did not serve King Ahaseurus and if Joseph was not a prime Minister under Pharaoh.

This election is not about North versus South, nor is it about Christian versus Muslim. It is about Nigeria and good governance.

Don't allow politicians divide us. When they share money, they don't talk about religion. When they want donations from Aliko Dangote, they don't remember he is a Muslim. When they enter an aircraft, they don't ask the religious faith of the pilot. When their bosses are atheists, they don't resign from the job. When an Alhaji gives them contracts, they don't reject it. They and their wives go to Dubai to spend money. Dubai is in United Arab Emirate but they have no problems buying houses in Dubai. But when it comes to politics back home, they say they want to "ISLAMIZE" you. Yet, some of these people were spiritual consultants to Abacha.

Vote your conscience. If you want to vote for Jonathan, vote for him based on your conviction that he has performed in your estimation and not because he is a "Christian".

If you want to vote for Buhari, vote for him because you feel disenchanted with Jonathan's government, not because he is a Muslim.

Say NO to bigotry. God bless Nigeria.

[size=20pt]Sound Of Alarm For PDP: OLAMIDE BADOO Sings New Track In Support Of APC


Could it Be that APC are now paying Musicians to Sing In Support of Them? Hmm i sense desperation. The Nigerian POPULAR rapper Olamide just dropped a New Single Titled "The Change We Want", Seriously Hyping APC.


I saw this description Online..

Indigenous rapper Olamide has expressed his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), after featuring on previous campaign records at the Lagos state level, the rapper has finally endorsed the APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhariand his running mate, Yemi Osinbajo. The record is titled ‘The Change We Want’.

I can't believe that you have not researched the 1983 coup against Shagari's govt and you're blabbing this.

GMB was never involved in the coup. It was late Bako and IBB that spearheaded it. Once Bako died during the course or carrying out the coup, GMB who was GOC Jos Command, was called upon as the most senior Nigerian officer to lead the PRC.

GMB never plotted a coup.

I don't have any party affiliation neither am I a fan of GEJ but the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should be respected no matter what.

As long as he sits in ASO Rock, he deserves better than being stoned.
