wesley80: Which of those quotes do you have a problem with?

Wesley80 and Henry120, all these guys with identification numbers attached to their UserID are here again? Don't you do any other daytime job apart from the 40 laptop jobs? I thought it's supposed to be part time job. Point number 6 is so very dumb. When I heard it, I was wondering how many wealth creation agencies (apart from Youwin) he has set up and whether he will now scrap all the poverty alleviation programmes and agencies since he doesn't believe in poverty alleviation but wealth creation.

Quote 6 is so dumb. I thought wealth creation will lead to poverty reduction. Or is his own idea of wealth creation different?

@news9ja, please do educate me? I want to learn.
Re: 7 Infamous Quotes From The Presidential Media Chat by Nobody: 12:52pm On Nov 19, 2012
Are we in a communist country where the government run/ dictate our lives( as regards 2 number 6)? Say the youwin programme for example, it is down to the winner, not the government to efficiently use the funds to create wealth for himself/ herself. If he/she blows the money, do you then say GEJ did not create wealth or is it not down to the individual who did not utilise his opportunity given by the government to reduce his poverty.

Here is how I understood the statement, the government provides/ creates wealth, but it is all down to the individual to either use the opportunity given to come out of poverty or to remain in poverty( it is all down to the individual in question, not the fault of the government). Choice!!!!

Besides, I did not particularly like the media chat, like other politicians in nigeria, they are need to go back to school and take up a course on public speaking (101).


Like I said before I'm open to learning, educate.

On Point, but He has improved in composure in comparism to his previous chat, which was a blunder at best.

Respect yourself and engage your head before giving up your unadulterated foolishness. If you do have a head that's doing what it ought to you'd know to seek the complete quote not one lifted out of context that obviously has challenged your abysmal level of critical thinking.

I respect and support the president, I think he has done a lot to grow our democracy( a more open electoral process and freedom of information law comes to mind). True, yesterdays media chat by the president was a more composed show of the president in comparism to his last media chat, but however, I felt he was only speaking yesterday and not communicating. He gave us(in a some cases) the classic political dance around a question, as if "the answer you get from the questions asked(president) was another question".

However he still came in hitting and clear in many of his strong areas
Agriculture= fertiliser, reduction of corruption in the process of acquiring them
Power = he said we generate over 5,000 megawatts of power, but we lack the infrastructure to convey the power generated to end users.
Creation of wealth rather than reduction of poverty was brilliant.
Ibadan- lagos road
Recurrent expenditure= he answered the question well
Fuel subsidy= he also answered well
Education, I agree with him, it would be difficult to grow education to the level we all want, with the kind of funding gotten/ the very low school fees that students pay. Education requires major funding to really succeed. Take the UK for example, apart from the billions budgeted by the government, they received additional 45billion pounds( that is two times our national budget) from abroad. Mostly from foreign students from the far east, china in particular.

He came out short on
Corruption / prosecution, when he was asked about Siemens & harliburton. Infact he didn't answer those questions.

Monetisation policy, he also came out short.

He denied his aides on national tv.

He did try to explain the issue of state house food, and how they were also many agencies under state house and not just the president & vice president & their families and the events at the state house, but truly, I did not understand his reference to ethiopia So I'll give him 50/50 on explaining the money budgeted for food.


All in all it was an improvement from the last media chat, but I still do not think he communicated with nigerians. He only spoke.
