As much as I think President Jonathan was ineffective as president, I think the Economist needs to tone it down with the name calling. Tagging him a buffoon is obviously a way to get more attention and more people to read this article which I must say does not have much (I dare say any) content.

They need to get back to writting articles they are known for like the one that made Nigerian soldiers chase after newspaper vehicles in a bid to stop them from getting to the stands in 2014(or was it 2015?). grin

And for President Buhari's supporters, dont celebrate, the economist is not known to pick sides. I can bet they will soon throw out another article to diss the president and yes, call him names.

But Buffoon though……ouch.

This is gonna strike some nerves

Such a weighty word. He even added an adjective to it "Ineffectual Buffoon" gringrin

If it is to receive one fringe award from oyibo people, wailers will sing GEJs praises and hail his validation by 'the whites'.

When they yab him, wailers will say it is a Lai mohammed sponsored article.

If The ECONOMIST insults Jonathan and calls him names, it is a very good thing. For the discerning eye, it means Jonathan is a very good man, a deceptively gentle mien masking a particularly principled and strong-willed but nontheless very kind character. What this evil people cannot control, they try to destroy.

They have kind words for Buhari, LMAO!

I wonder if these people could either address Cameron or north Korea's leader as a buffoon. while Jonathan wasn't a stellar leader, it is sti disrespectful to address Jonathan as a buffoon.


I find it weird these people are take lie mohammeds word for it.Poor journalism anyway.

he is a miserable buffoon....why isnt he here in nigeria,in this important times....??

Some of u calling this man names can't do as much as rule ur immediate family properly. They had d right to abuse the president's seat this much cos we led them. N those being happy that they did so should brace up for more insults in d nearest future, if others r being insulted please i will like to see tye same reaction, i hope u wont term it racism? can they say that to Obama?

These Wailing Cankerworms are so funny. They can't construct a sentence without insulting the sitting president, but get all roughed up when the useless ex-president is pelted with as little as a bubble gum.

We abuse GEJ and PMB without realizing that we are inadvertently desecrating the seat of The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. Other Nationals now have the temerity to call a former Nigerian president a Buffoon. Would they address president Obama or Bush like that?

Sadly, this despicable tag on GEJ will resonate with a lot of Nigerians who will throng this forum to validate their prejudice, instead of them to call the newspaper to order. It is totally unacceptable for the Economist to address a Nigerian president with those words.
---
Irrespective of whatever grudges we may have, I think it's better to focus on criticizing the policies, actions or inactions of the president (GEJ/PMB) rather than hauling insults on their person.


Mr man go and watch Chris Rock's Kill the messenger...Mr Bush has certaintly been called worse

The op cleverly omitted where the writer said, just like previously, Buhari is making the situation worse. Many Nigerians are not interested in the debate of whether GEJ is better than Buhari, but the questions of Buhari's ability to make the situation better. It is a change for better life people voted for, not the change of name calling and blame apportionment. Peace.

OgbeifunErom:



Sorry I totally disagree with you!

They have used the best word to describe the worst President Nigeria has ever had.

He is nothing but a Buffoon and an inglorious fool.

What else can they call a man that presided over the greatest heist ever seen in Africa? A man that opened the floodgates of Nigeria's public finance infrastructure to all his friends all because he wanted to win a second term.

Actually, the Economist is quite liberal. For them to have qualified the retar.d called Jonathan as a buffoon, they must have access to information that supports that qualification.

I will be very happy for them to judge Buhari in same manner if he fails.





If you're exposed to the financial abracadabra that goes on behind the scenes in most governments, you won't have anything to say.

How much did OBJ waste? Or is the US sef.

Nonsense.
Liar Muhamed, You cannot gain any relevance for buhari by paying Economist to write trash for you.

That's why your ministry was given 39 billion to keep churning out rubbish!

We expect to see more vindictive posts from you in future, but know one fact, Jonathan bone don hang for una throat!

While you and your clueless oga struggle to fill his shoes the guy keeps getting more accolades internationally. He is still a very potent threat to you guys. Deal with it.


**** you think The Economist like Nigerian newspapers that you can pay to write articles in your favour or against your opponent?
