Misconceptions About Jonathan by Nobody: 9:52am On Dec 11, 2013
S-H-A-M-E-L-E-S-S!
It Is Now A Culture For Some Nigerians To Brew Lies About The President Any Time He Travels Overseas.
It regrettable that there are bunch of Nigerians whose aim are geared towards bringing shame to the country or rubbishing the person of the President of Federal republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
Even when the world are mourning the loss of African illustrious son and a rare icon, Dr Nelson Mandela, some section of Nigerian Press are busy lying and discrediting the person of the President.

1] Yesterday, PremiumTimesNG reported that President Jonathan was travelling to South Africa 6 days ahead of the burial date of Mandela.
Some social media sites sponsored this ill-informed story to ensure that it goes viral. Like other world leaders, President Jonathan left to South Africa yesterday evening to ensure that he will arrive for this morning's Funeral service at Soweto stadium.
This only exposed the ignorance of these reckless media group, who are not aware that world leaders will be honouring late Nelson Mandela on the December 10, 2013, and not on the burial date (15/12/2013).
Mandela's burial is a private family affair, the world leaders are not part of the arrangement

2] Another lie sprang up today claiming that Nigerian President was snubbed by the organizers of the Funeral. As a result of their ignorance, Nigerian president was among the only 5 president and world leaders that was officially received by the South African Government, Funeral organizers and the Mandela family.
It is only 5 Presidents and leaders that spoke on the funeral. One wonders, if the rest of the 86 leaders were also snubbed?

3] When the snubbing lies was rejected by Nigerians and opinions of reasons, the same group came up with another childish story. They claimed that President Jonathan was sleeping at the event.
Those that watched the funeral on television, will attest to the fact that Nigerian President was actively engaging with other world leaders and eminent people across the world who graced the funeral. There was no dull moment and the fabrication that the President was sleeping is simply absurd and stupid.
When will these heartless Nigerians know that rubbishing the image of the President of Nigeria is not different from undermining the image and integrity of Nigeria and its people, in the eyes of the International community.
