manny4life: Very unfortunate that parties in Nigeria resort to this wasteful bickering. Jonathan may not have issued a response (we do not know,), and YES I won't condone it because there were victims, however, calling him a trainee president is just ridic. Do you go on some special presidential training and certification to become a president?

IMO, I just think ACN is just seeking attention and are trying to capitalize or should I say take advantage of the situation. ACN is as bad as PDD, perfect case of pot calling kettle black.

Joe Biden commented on Barack Obama's experience as a Senator and his readiness to become the President. He said "I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training". Biden was asked later if he still 'stands by the statement' and he said "I think that I stand by the statement."

2ru-talk:
ACN is very hypocritical. I strongly believe that an ACN candidate will be worse than GEJ led administration if voted into the office of the President. All ACN is doing is to win the sympathy of the masses to pave way for their 2015 election bid. Who is deceiving who? RUBBISH

fm7070: ACN is not on point.
Who is 'Expert President'?
When OBJ was there, people called him names, now he's an hero
GEJ is trying his best. At least, I can see some level of transparency, sincerity and improvement in his governance.

mengi: me.ning b4 2015, he would ve m.stered the process. by 2015 he will become better.

dayokanu:

Theres nothing ridiculous about it because the President has shown incompetence in his handling of our domestic affair.

You cant have bombing and flooding in several parts of the country and not show interest.

This is similar to the situation when he chose to go party in Brazil while the nation boiled. And on calling him a trainee President. They are on Point. below is a Joe Biden comment on Obama

So going by your own theory, "Nigeria is a scam= BAD", I guess that makes you and I bad or scammers right?

OYINBOGOJU:

Tell me you have gotten your own laptop.

tpapi: Acn is jus seekin cheap publicity,always takin adv of any sad occurence to attack,but i can assure acn,they wil neva smel d presidency FOR LIFE

Bawss1:

You, in your comment earlier stated that "ACN is just as bad as PDP", meaning PDP is just as bad as ACN, therefore PDP is bad.

No need trying to twist this into whatever theory you want to attribute to me.

admcompub: Indeed, a trainee President, at the end of his tenure in office, he will become a Professional Leader and will prove it in his next four year term in office as the President, and Commander in-Chief of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

OYINBOGOJU: What does Jonathing have to offer at UN Assembly?

manny4life: Really? Come on man, well I shouldn't be surprised. I believe in constructive criticism, though the president may have shown incompetence in few areas of governance, but please, criticize for the right reasons and under the right circumstance. My STAND is CLEAR - given the situation and it's sensitivity, it's just BOGUS to call him a trainee president.

How do you mean "not show interest"? How has he not shown interest? Hasn't there been recovery efforts since after the events? YES or NO? Or, do you want him to fly 5,000+ miles away from NY to ABJ to participate in the recovery process before you know he has shown interest?

As for the Joe Biden comment, I'm sure his VP can say the same thing. Words do not translate into action and vice versa. Joe Biden made that comment, question is, how many Americans or should I say Republicans share his view?

hillsate:

Were you in my mind?
Please this is a serious question.

hillsate:

You call what GEJ is doing as "trying his best?"
No one tasked with leadership of any nation is ever told to try his best. D0 THE WORK is what is advocated. Unfortunately GEJ is not interested in learning how to govern nigeria. A classical example is hiding the illness of his wife same thing Turai did for her husband.

tunapar: I call him an insensitive, clueless, an opportunist and an absentee president. But I believe if given a second term, he might perform better.

manny4life:

Same thing ALL past presidents have contributed.

unekwubaby:




you are completely out of point
go back to jss1 for orientation

However, even worse is the fact that the president has not deemed it fit to comment on this disaster, neither has there been any visit by a federal minister or any co-ordinated response to the disaster from the central government, the ACN statement said.
On a weekend of multiple disasters such as the Lokoja flooding, the bomb blast in Bauchi, and the two weeks of non-stop flooding all around the country, the ACN alleged that the president’s handlers showed more concern in informing Nigerians about President Jonathan’s trip to the United Nations General Assembly summit than explaining or proposing a co-ordinated response to these calamities.

The disposition of President Jonathan’s administration to the welfare of Nigerians, the ACN said, confirmed the widely held belief that the welfare or well-being of Nigerians is definitely not a priority to his government, otherwise why could the president not find time to visit even by helicopter the disaster zones to at least give hope to the victims or their relations, the party queried.

manny4life:

YES, I stand by my own words.

I did say ACN is as bad as PDP in terms of leadership and other attributes. I said the entity was bad not the hundreds of people who are part of the entity... Hope that clears the confusion. Therefore, just like ACN and PDP, they have both the good and bad, but the core principals of both parties are eroded with everything being irrelevant.

As for the attribute to you, I was only giving an example. True or NOT, haven't people called Nigeria a country of scam? Does Nigeria not have a bad reputation globally? Does that make you and I who are Nigerians BAD? Answer that question and you will grasp the concept of my argument.
