38 years of northern disastrous rule that ruined Nigeria forever didn't hold Nigeria together, Obasanjo's first and second coming didn't hold Nigeria together, now you thought that Jonathan's four years will hold Nigeria together, shame on you. Rise above hatred.
Yoruba elders of thought and wise leaders was mounting pressure on Jonathan to call for a national dialogue despite that Jonathan didn't agree on this before. Today Jonathan as a listening president decided to listen to these elders and gave in to their demand. Then a yoruba looter decided to criticize Jonathan for respecting the views of the elders from yoruba land.
For once in the life of this hypocritical One Nigeria, Yoruba elders have disobeyed their masters(hausa/fulani oligarchy) to liberate their people from northern slavery and one prodigal son(Tinubu) from their land still want their people to remain in slavery.
All i know is that after the conference, hypocritical One Nigeria will become history. The mistake of lugard will be corrected and peace will reign.

Let's see it when you find it.

clint77ng: The truth is dat u didnt vote 4 him. All that he promised during his campaign he is almost accomplishing. He promised fresh air and all sectors are getting the fresh air, roads, railway, airport, electoral process, power, fuel even education. First time in Naija history, N935b was spent on security and u and i know how long this money will go in dualizing naija highways. Despite this set back, every sector is been touched. U and i know that GEJ has tried alot despite all the challenges. If our past clueful, non retardeen and non corrupt leaders did half of what the clueles one has done to our power sector, who be America to get light pass us. Abeg this guy don try.

mbulela:
Wait until you see the type of National Conference GEJ will approve.
It will just be another talk shop with silly no-go areas that will just submit papers that need to be scrutinized by the NASS and GEJ will claim too be reading its contents until after 2015, like Tinubu rightly asked,how are you sure this one will be any better than all the plenty committees that the president has formed and its results collecting dust in the shelf?
In our bid for hope we must not just become gullible. I see no sign that GEJ had a damascus experience so why should you expect anything different? Let us keep watching (or like Bola Ige, Siddon look).

Ijebulogic: A Visionary leader must be able to sift through all the "noise" that comes with Governance and focus on the critical issues that ensure security and social welfare for his citizens. He must then attach priorities to those issues and not allow himself to be distracted by Political games. This should be our Presidents Priority list:
1. Citizen Security & Safety: Eradicate Terrorism, Kidnapping and correct the disastrous road network and airspace.
2. Power
3. Increased Intervention in Non-Oil sectors
3.Tertiary Education (ASUU etc) & Healthcare
4. Unemployment (OBJ's already warned that an ever increasing youth population combined with unemployment is a recipe for disaster)
5. Radical changes to create an enabling environment for FDI (tax breaks, fiscal incentives, less bureaucracy in civil service, customs transformation etc.)

If there is so much as a 25% improvement in the above by 2015, GEJ would be a Hero in my mind. But instead we are forced to hear pronouncements that add absolutely no value to the lives of the common man. What exactly (in simple English please) will a NC achieve? The whole process will be chaotic, ill-timed and pointless. The Tower of Babel comes to mind. Mr. President, the people whispering in your ear in Abuja don't understand the needs of the people.

tomakint: This is what you get when weed is too much, imagine a drug addict trying to whip up sentiments against a noble cause that will take us out of the wilderness of nothingness we all as a people have been trudging on for ages! I know the National Conference has come to stay and not even 1million Tinubus can stop it this I know for real!

Dive-Bomber:
Tinubu is a hypocrite! Yorubas hav been shouting nd calling 4 SNC since d days of NADECO, dey shld seize dis chance whether GEJ's motives are ryt or nt. WE HAV TO TALK NOW!

lygn19: Yoruba's as usual,they hv gone to take heed with there slave masters...don't be surprised if dz Afenifere group of d yorubas,vote against true federalism and resource control in the last minute,its there nature...

emiye: there is a whole lot of difference between Sovereign National Conference and National Conference.


What Jonathan is proposing for is a National Conference, which when conducted the report can easily be made to gather dust.

What Tinubu is advocating for is a Sovereign National Conference

nku5:

This is too funny. Sebi GEJ toned down the idea from sovereign national conference to just national conference because of the controversy and objection from the northern elements. I would advise tinubu lends his voice in support of the sovereign national conference since he has been in support of it all along

sheniqua:

Bingo!!!
Thanks for this unearthing

You see how Stoopid the man is?
Always unstable
Wavering
Blown and tossed about like polythene bag on Aba - PH express road
Cannot be trusted
Speaks from all corners of his rotten mouth
Typical!!
Gosh!
It is right when he says it and wrong when Jonathan says it
I bet you he doesn't even remember he advocated such a thing at some point
Tells you he doesn't mean anything he says
He just says them because they are different from GEJ is saying at that point in time

ilebaami:

Your thoughts are well organised to paper, the only problem being that they are shallow.

whitecat007: Tinubu cannot support what Jonathan has not called out. Wait, why do you think Tinubu is in opposition? To help him? Well! What do I expect from dullards who expected their enemies to cater for them during war

Sec5: Are you sure he is fully recovered?
I mean mentally

theoctopus:

Get your big head off Tinubu's ..$%$$^%! You are smelling badly!

luvinhubby:
1, My village of nativity has 18hrs of power supply courtesy of GEJ`s 50kva sub-station there and power reforms in Nigeria.
2, A functional rice mill is fully operational in the same village of my nativity, employing tens of youths, courtesy of GEJ`s agriculture reforms.

Do you want more?

gr8femfred: u are a gud evidence of wut nigeria educational system is.did Tinubu said we don't want NC no.all he was saying was d timing of d conference pls go back 2 skul.

bloggernaija: The Jagbadan is back.
First cruise missile don hit target .
Let me breakdown the statement.

Jagbadan is not saying he does not want SNC.He want it sharp sharp.
In fact, he is daring GEJ to hold one tomorrow at the same time staking the political centre of being the chief nemesis of PDP and the oligarchy.
Because in opposition politics ,the ruling party is always wrong and the opposition party can do better.
That is the beauty of democracy that is alien to Nigerians .
Jagaban is saying to joe,
"PROVE ME WRONG" but if you think you can use tricks to deceive ,you are on a long thing.

My take on this SNC issue is that jonathan want to use it to divide the opposition and the opposition in his party on ethnic basis


you just ended up saying nothing. empty comment.
