safepassage2015: you r obviously dumbfounded at how articulate and composed he was despite being ambushed by 'sawawa' tv. Sori he disappointed you apc goons and Buhari supporters. You hv nt seen anytin yet
Anytime someone says something about Mr.President, even when it's true,you guys would attach sentiments to it & assume that these people are "enemies, " "apc goons," "Buhari fans," etc....To be honest,I'm now totally convinced that it's people like you guys that have surrounded the president's immediate aide appointments & that's why the president keeps gawking & falling our hands as Nigerians in general.

She may not be a Professional Journalist but she conducted herself well. That was an interview on the move, not a studio interview and was well handled by the lady. Perhaps you are used to Labaran Maku's gob shiite called NTA.

I am sorry to say but she was a mess. I don't think the President was stammering I think he was shocked at such nonsense coming out of the Reporters mouth. Her questions were at least three years old minimum. So for you to call it an "interview on the move" remember she went to war nobody forced her and you don't go to war with no arms. She is rubbish even unprofessionally arguing with the aides at the end. She needs to go back to primary school immediately. Who gave her a visa by the way ?

You call asking a question about an insurgency that claimed over 160 lives of your citizens in a week nonsense? You call asking a question about respecting Federalism and revenue sharing in line with the law nonsense?

You must be nonsense yourself to think those questions are irrelevant.

atlwireles: How did that woman get that close to the president Somebody needs to start looking for a new Job.

No!
That part of the world (or New York) is completely cordoned off from people.
You can only get there after serious clearance from FBI & CIA.

She was cleared as a journalist.
If the president feels he was harrassed (which I don't think) they will make a complaint and it will be very very difficult to ever get a clearance to cover international events from friendly governments.

Na so the thing be, so relax!

Nigerians and their stup*d way of thinking, I can't believe some people on this thread are saying things like " have respect for the office of the president " " he is old enough to be your father " " what nonsense!

Is there any leader in the modernised world who doesn't get criticised or insulted? I've seen world leaders called all sorts of names, and i dont see anyone making a fuss about it.

How is it that some Nigerians could be so inane to this extent? they are willing to defend their incompetent leaders who bring nothing but suffering, hunger, poverty upon them? The fo*lish defend the fo*lish, no wonder Nigeria is regressing, the country reflects the quality of its leaders and masses (slaves)

Criticising your leaders in any manner you see fit is your democratic right, exercise it or shut up and stop trying to stop those who do.

I sometimes wonder, what you demented beings aim to achieve when you foolishly try to insult my parents? Nigeria has a doofus as a president. An utterly clueless and inept being who claims to be a PhD holder but turns into a stammerer, and a liar when asked about questions pertaining to the country he is presiding over.

The subject of discourse here is the kindergarten president we have. If your foolish brain cannot comprehend this, why not stay in your village and engage yourself catching oil soaked fishes.

nerodenero: Your handle "Pataki" sounds like yoruba and if you are one, then, we aint known for disrespecting elders. Your choice of words are way too harsh to be used to describe the President. I am not Uncle Jona's fan but owo die die lara n fe.
Look, I am not here to appeal to your fanciful respecting of elders. Respect is deserved not demanded.

Has your president respected the office of presidency? Has he shown the decorum of a man who truly knows what the Presidency is about? Did he himself not acknowledge that he is a total misfit as a President?

This is the same man who has defined corruption in a gobsmacking dimension in this country. The same man who does not know how to intelligently answer question. The same man who avoids public debate during elections but rather prefers the likes of dbanj to be granting him interviews. The same man who debates with himself. The same man who spins lies at every instance whether it is on local or international media. And you ask me to respect this doofus of a president?!

I am quite surprised that a reporter can get access and ask the President such mundane questions on the streets of New York. "What are you doing about Boko Haram" Did Boko haram start yesterday? Does the reporter not read newspapers? She appears to have dropped straight out of primary school even arguing with the aides. Has she not heard of any current world issues such as the incident in Nairobi ? Sovereign Fund... when we have more pressing issues like oil theft, power and poverty. Sahara should never ever unleash those kind of amateur reporters on the President again.
Journalism being the fourth estate owes the public updates on happenings. You have heard of Boko Haram, do you think others have?

My Friend I am not about to lecture you on journalism however let me point out to you that it is essentially about delivering news of tommorrow, today... not news of three years ago. At no point did she ask him as you are asking me about 160 lives claimed in a week. If she had asked the President what action he intends to take regarding the 160 lives claimed this week...then its a current and specific question and that is a totally DIFFERENT question FROM "what do you intend to do about Boko Haram" And if you do not recognise the difference then you probably need to go back to the same primary scool as the Reporter.

Boko Haram - "we are working very hard on that", how can a president make such a useless generic statement like that? Did this doofus of a president not learn from his Kenyan counterpart on how to address firmly the issue of terrorism in a country??

Well over 3000 people have died, our useless president is saying "the interviewer needs to update her statistics"!

When asked about sovereign funds, this dunce of a President immediately turned into a stammerer!

See the bunch of retardeenic sycophants trying to push Adeola away from asking questions to the President. What a disgrace Nigeria has become.

Ewu talking about "inspire". Where did the beautiful speeches of the likes of Azikiwe lead Nigeria to? Coup, countercoup and civil war. We do not need a talking or motivational speaker as president. We need a president that will walk the talk and get the JOB DONE. I'm not interested in verbose speeches. If what inspires you is empty verbose grammar, kindly go to the likes of Rochas or Patrick Obahiagbon

The irony of some of these fools that of talk of inspirational speeches is that they supported Buhari at the last election. Between Buhari and GEJ, who is a better public speaker? HATERS are perpetually looking for reasons to hate more. Yeye dey smell.

Who cares about what you learnt from Maku's school of mediocre journalism? She asked important questions, that is the issue.

The news we have today is Boko Haram is still running riot all over the North East with hundreds dying weekly. It becomes important to ask what is being done about the situation. Update us, what is happening at the moment. How is it a wrong question for a journalist to ask? It is a problem if you are graduate of Labaran Maku's school of mediocre journalism.

President Goodluck Jonathan had one of the most outsized
delegation when he went to the United Nations General
Assembly in the United States, drawing up personalities
apparently irrelevant for the meeting, with likely cost
implications in several millions if not billions of naira.
Several members of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party for instance, joined the train
to New York, so much that the party halted its
activities since Monday.
On Tuesday, reporters also confirmed several ex-militant
leaders,
and known supporters of the president, and several others are
presently in the United States for the same mission.
"I can tell you everyone I called today are in New York," an
associate of President Jonathan said. "Several ex-militants are
also there, although there are claims they paid their way there."
The source, who did not want to be named out of concern the
disclosure he made might anger Mr. Jonathan, gave some
names
of militants he said travelled to New York with the President.
We
are withholding the names because we could not
independently
verify them as at the time of filing this report.
{read_more}
The sidekicks that accompanied the president are separate
from
the nearly a dozen ministers travelling with Mr Jonathan,
several
aides, hangers on with clearly no relevance to the trip.
Mr. Jonathan has managed to build a notorious reputation for
travelling for international events with huge entourages that
often
put him up for stinging criticisms since taking office in 2010.
That year, the president reportedly travelled with 120 people to
New York. In February 2013, officials who travelled with the
president for an African Union meeting in Ethiopia, averaged
200,
making the Nigerian delegation the largest to the meeting.
When concerns flared again this time about his team to the
current UN meeting, with allegations that as many as 600 may
have travelled with the president to New York, the presidency
scrambled a denial, saying those who travelled officially with
the
president were less than 30.
The response, in a statement issued by spokesperson, Reuben
Abati, however admitted more people were in New York but
said
they were "for their own purposes". "We are certainly aware
that
many Nigerian citizens are currently on visits to New York.
These persons are here for their own purposes and neither
President Jonathan nor his administration has any
responsibility
for the presence of these persons in New York," Mr. Abati said.
He said those include Nigerian businessmen for "an African
Business Roundtable event, members of non-governmental
organizations and tourists".
Sources could however not ascertain the exact number of
those
who travelled with the president this time. But our reporters
who
visited PDP headquarters on Monday and Tuesday confirmed
several party members were on the trip.
All events were accordingly suspended at the party office.
Presidency sources also confirmed former militant leaders who
since become loyalists of the president, were on the trip.
So awkward was the Nigerian team accompanying Mr.
Jonathan
that at the president's meeting with Mr Obama on Monday,
the
ministers were left standing by the sides, apparently as
seating
arrangements were not made for the large number.

Nigerian's bent on know-it-all is incredible. How could any sensible person want the president to answer the question about Boko Haram other then “we are working very hard on that” and granted there are classified and unclassified aspects of the answers?

The president would have been regarded as a goon if he had voiced the details of operations against Boko Haram in a public arena.
