Gbenge 77: Desperate to win in 2015,the tyrannical and supremely sleazy Jonathan continues to clamp down on dissenting journalists.Nervertheless,In 2015,we shall see who is in charge;Nigerians,or Jonathan and his depraved PDP GANG.

Show me whats wrong in what he's saying. It's a democratic government for God's sake and freedom of press should be allowed.

Nigeria is even better, freedom of press in Benin is worse. African leaders need to learn to do the right things and face front instead of attacking the messengers. The way press is being humiliated in some African countries is just embarrassing and if it takes US to help communicate that to ogas at the top,so be it

if you want them to mind their business,then force our government to do the right thing, if not, force your mouth to keep shut

Red-Light:
why is usa so much interested in nigeria's affair recently :-/ were they asleep during obj's regime?

Ibanga p: Our elders say, 'wen a handshake has gone above d elbow then it is no longer a handshake'. Dis caution and critisism from America is gettin out of hand nd i tink they don't mean well for Nigeria considering d medium in which dey send this messages. In a time like dis wen Nigeria needs support nd encouragement frm 'developed' countries to avoid more chaos. They chose to sow a seed of discord nd hatred between d government and d people. I tink they have a hidden agenda dat does not mean well for dis country. And i believe some bad eggs in here in nigeria are pulling d strings on these issues.

pekelepekele: Obama is working . Jonathan is learning

Dracula27%:
Abeg oooo if the different stories i read are true then it seems that the USA is beginning to comment on every single issue and aspect of happenings in Nigeria.
While i do not differ with them on this opinion i think they should face their front.
Colonialism is over and they are not to run a commentary on Nigeria.

Billyonaire: If USA is now a Supervisory Country, then they need to lead by Example.
* Let USA drop all charges against Wikileaks.
* Let USA drop all charges against Julius Assange
* Let USA drop all charges against Paul Browning and release him from custody
* Let USA government ensure freedom of Press and publish information on Occupy Street and the 99% protest.

OR

Let USA respect the sovereignty of other nations, in as much as press freedom is a requirement from a democracy, Freedom is not Liberty. When journalists go as far as forging a memo against the government, then the handshake is beyond the elbow and ought to be stopped for National Security reasons. This is one warning too many from a pot, to a kettle.

Imanuelle: even with all the press freedom, all we can do is tweet and curse on nairaland.

PECO4KING: USA,thanks for your observation, since una know say we dey suffer for Nigeria make u give us Visa make we commot and start a new life for una country. If you really wan help Nigerians

NEROSKY:
Since you can't speak the fact they're helping you to, you're here ranting rubbish! You need a therapist!

@Kamsky10 Thank you for your reply. Please can i request that you read my post again to understand me properly as i think we are actually on the same page. The first few comments accorded to them were appreciated by me my concern is the continuous commentary being run on Nigeria by the USA.
This is particularly disturbing in view of were both nations are coming from historically, a concern that some of the historical issues still exists coupled with some level of international exposure. A quick look at out recent history and the active voice of their continuous negative commentary should make us think as some other Nairalanders have stated why they did not comment prior to this time when things were really worst and what the real interests at play is.
Also we must realize that such continuous commentary can only be as a result of instructions from Uncle Sam.

Symphony007: obama will kill to get the growth figures nigeria is enjoying. Nigeria is currently growing at 7% will the u.s is strugguling with 2 or 3.

solomon111:
Why haven't they talked to saudiarabia,spain,china and co.
The press in those countries are far more restricted than Nigeria's will ever be.

onoja12: freedom of press my food,why has the american government not give wikileak freedom of press or why haven't they given press tv freedom of press the world is waking up from its sleep
