Pls are u a Nigerian? If YES

it seems u don't leave in naija.

Things are getting worse.

God have mercy on us. Amin


PLEASE TELL THE WHOLE HOUSE HOW THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE IN NIGERIA UNDER GEJ. Is it power where output has doubled, giving you more hours of power to charge your laptop or phone were you spew trash from? Is the economy that is growing over 6%, making Nigeria one of the fastest growing economies in the WORLD and putting on track to overtake South Africa? Or maybe its our long abandoned transport infrastructures long abandoned by past administrations but currently fixed and expanded on by the GEJ team. Hey, maybe it's the agricultural sector thats currently undergoing a revolution churning out tonnes of produce, making it a growing source of foreign exchange for our nation (thus diversifying our economy) and ensuring the nation's food security. Oh I get it, it's the elections, right? You know, the free and fair ones under GEJ unlike the do-or-die elections of team OBJ that also included outright theft of ballot boxes, and my fav, asssinations.


So go on, tell the whole house.

What about other issues raised in the letter apart from term elongation? isn't it obvious that some truths are embedded in the letter... Why are you taking it personal with OBJ, is it because it has the gut to face the president?
My bros nothing persona I hv read d letter nothing is there. Just ranting of OBJ dt GEJ supported other party against pdp in anambra, edo etc. Remember dt OBJ rigged these states with Maurice Iwu for pdp until court reverse him. Who is more corrupt. Dt some pple a making inflammatory statements eg Asari. Asari is not d only one even gov amaechi is from ss yet fighting GEJ. Dt he is not handling BH well, recall dt OBj was there during MEND and other militant struggle in ss was he able to resolve it until yaradua came with amnesty. Na today oil theft don dey happen for Niaja OBJ was oil minister for most part of his administration against constitutional provisions -stealing niaja dry. Recall also dt federal contractors built OBJ presidential library which is against constitutional provisions. OBJ is corruption personified no one is fooled by his ranting.

My take, is all abt 2015 OBJ and his cohorts will be disgraced.

When GEJ was to be acting president and president they fought him, even in the last election. Who Jah bless no one can cause.

The truth when u fight a person this way u r unwittingly shoring up support for him because u fight is not justified

Just within a space of 3 days, OBJ, Tambuwal and Sanusi have all indicted the President of Massive Looting and Unabated Corruption.
Moreover, these 3 men are in the same political party (PDP) with Jonathan and not Opposition parties.
Though OBJ is not a Saint, but During his Administration, many were booted out due to his Anti-Corruption Campaign starting with people from his South West Region; S.M Afolabi (National I.D Card Scam), Tafa Balogun (former IG of Police), Bode George (NPA Scam), Sunday Einhdero, Chief Babalola and Femi Fani Kayode (former Ministers of Aviation). We hardly hear of Sentiments, Tribalism and Favouritism then. It's now a different story under GEJ. What exactly is the recurring Problem? GEJ only claims to fight corruption with his lips and on the media. If OBJ was still in power, he would have delivered a keynote address during Mandiba's memorial yesterday because you dare not mess up with him. Anyway, GEJ "doesn't give a damn"
I still strongly believe that this
Jonathan's Administration
Cultivates, Breeds, Grows, Nurtures, Fertilizes, Harvests, Packages, and Distributes CORRUPTION.
Gej, you have a lot to do oh...dat position is not for dummies, so you had better buckle up and act well so u won't call the wrath of God on yourself and your aides, I strongly believe that nigeria will be great someday...but right now GOD we seriously need your intervention. Mat God heal this nation. Long live federal republic of nigeria

He can rest assure that a most disgraceful aftermath awaits him if he remains on this soil after 2015. He should go in exile and wait to be pardoned, however long it takes.

If you have any sense, then you will know that the power problem you complained about is OBJ's making, not GEJ's. GEJ has now corrected it and the effects of GEJ's work cannot be felt this year but in some months from now, you will begin to see the effects of his work just like you are seeing the effects of OBJ's failure now. The companies have just taking over. Are you expecting they will fix everything within these few weeks they have taken over? You are not serious

Please how many jobs where there 5 years ago or 10 years ago? Your fake propaganda has failed already. OBJ is a failure and he should stop insulting us with his fake anti corruption stance

“I have passed the stage of being flattered, intimidated, threatened, frightened, induced or bought… Death is the end of all human beings and may it come when God wills it to come.” -(conclusion of OBJ's alleged letter to GEJ)

Baba has passed the stage of being bought? Freudian slip? Was there a stage in his service to Nigeria when he was being bought yanfu yanfu by Siemens, Halliburton, Transcorp, Julius Berger, etc? Anyway, Baba is speaking Yoruba in this letter. He is saying that as an elder he has been stricken by the combo of irori and ironu which poverty-stricken English language would lump up as introspection or sober reflection. Baba is saying that he just came back from watching the entire planet stand still in honour of South Africa's biggest gift to humanity. Baba is saying that this is the same man on whose account he was going to invade the Boers with African juju back in the day. Baba is saying that, on the other extreme, he also witnessed how 170 million people danced in the streets and rejoiced when news broke that one of his peers, General Sani Abacha, had died. Baba is saying that he has also noticed how the Yar'Adua family has difficulty every year in getting even the most virulent Yar'Adua loyalist to attend his memorial ( the time will come when Reuben Abati, Doyi Okupe, and Reno Omokri will not pick GEJ's calls; they'll be busy saying his successor is the greatest Nigerian alive). In short, Baba is saying that he is familiar with the template that awaits Nigeria's moral and ethical Lilliputian leaders after death. And Mandela's funeral has really driven home the contrast. Having now embraced irori and ironu, Baba is saying that even if it is already too late for him to be in the Mandela funeral column when the time comes, perhaps there is still time for him to smuggle himself out of the Abacha column by dedicating himself to grand populist gestures such as writing appetizing tell-all letters in a national context where passage from villain to hero is guaranteed by something as banal as switching political parties? Baba is saying that concentration on grand populist gestures may spare him the fate of Abacha. But Baba has a little problem. He is a Christian and makes great showing of his faith. He is always quoting the Bible and talking about heaven. He is lucky that not many Nigerians have heard of or seen his brand new hotel - the Green Legacy Resort - in Abeokuta which puts Nicon Hilton to shame. So, there is this little problem: "When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." I'm sure Baba knows how and where Mandela lived in Soweto? So, let Baba cough out the proceeds of Siemens, Halliburton, Transcorp, and electricity deals, let him sell all the mansions in Abeokuta - starting with the Green Legacy Resort - Lagos, Abuja, and give the proceeds to the poor. Then, like Mandela, he should renovate a reasonable face-me-I-face-you three-bedroom bungalow in Okokomaiko and write his letters from there. It still won't get him Mandela. It just might reduce the number of those who are likely to hiss in contempt when his time comes from 170 million to one hundred sixty-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine people.

If OBJ wrote this letter, in which he said "an Ijaw
man is myopic" after being a president of this country for 8 years, then he is worse than GEJ. I can only assume what he has to say about other tribes.
Can't wait till this country divides, cos to say the truth we aren't and wld never be a nation.

An old man who should promote peace just like Mandela is still playing dirty politics. His sins will soon catch up him.

Shut your gob lil boy. First it was Buhari (cpc) then it was Tinubu (ACN), now it's obj, Tambuwal and Lamido all pdp, isn't it apparent that we have a dunce of a president? Plus what obj said was just a rhetoric, it's what all Nigerians already know. So stop blaming people for your president's incompetentce.
