THE Presidency has warned those attacking President Goodluck Jonathan to put a stop to that against the backdrop that any insult melted on the president amounts to embarrassing the entire country.

The Presidency has also called on those who address the public to be mindful of their utterances while addressing them.

Speaking yesterday when he received a group under the aegis, Voice of Change Foundation, a Goodluck Support group made up of Nollywood celebrities, Sport stars and Musicians, in his office, Abuja, Special Adviser to the President, Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali who noted that ethno-cultural differences of the nation should be seen as its strength, not weakness, however stressed that nobody should make comments capable of trivialising any of them.

He said, “the founding fathers of Nigeria came from different background but with united demand for independence from the colonial master, this should be sustained irrespective of our political or professional divide.

“They were young but very visionary at that time but they used their effort to develop the nation without prejudice to any tribe or religion. If today is our time, we should aspire to make the nation bigger by joiningPresident Jonathan in actualizing the transformation agenda for the development of Nigeria.

“Sport unite the nation but the citizens should continue to hold it in high esteem at all times with or without sport,”

“President is the vocal point of the nation and every citizen need to be mindful of that fact. No child will abuse his father and still get public respect after doing so.”

issokay.

youpeoplerepentorfacethemusic

Hahahahahahaha

Look at that senseless reason given 'no child abuses his father....'
can he tell me the fatherly role GEJ has executed to make the child to make him/her tag him an 'idol' or 'model' this stupid press release happened in OBJ's time too

No father will allow his children go hungry and expect them to respect him

No father would allow his children to be killed everyday and expect respect from the ones alive

Any father that can't protect his own children from harm is not worthy to be called a father and thus shouldn't expect respect from the children.

Maybe ogbeni jonathan has forgotten that the constitution allows freedom of speech...when there are issues to attend to in this country...

Our dear Jonathan is busy warning those insulting him...SMH

hahaahahhaha

No wonder d whites still refers to us as animals(monkey). We never know how to behave. Freedom of speech my foot

Except those whose mind are negativly challenged, people don curse or insult God when prayers are not answered immediately. A wise saying has it that itz only greedy or ungrateful or VISITOR children dat berate their parents' efforts at keeping them alife and still go ahead and die. Upon all, may God forgive y'all, By Allah and in Jesus'name. We are not ungrateful. We are not greedy. Above all, we are not visitors in this long-savaged country. Rome was not biult in a day. Except u hav to wipe out by genocide, no one can build this country into a perfect shape in just four yrs. If he has done something wrong in not sacking d minister over bulletprove car believing d evidence are not strong enof, or in not killing those perceived to be sponsoring bh for fear of inter-ethnic or inter-religious bomerang, or has spared some money or powerdrunk folks here or there for reasons we may not decipher from afar, or has refused to use excessive force to rescue d chibokgirls for fear they might all get killed doesnt mean he is rather wicked, corrupt or ignoble. He is not as mean, adamantly greedy and corrupt as many before him. His lifestyle shows he wants d best fo d country, eventho he may not be d best. Therefore Reasonably, since there is no angel yet, letz rally round d so called devil. This may be d ace up our sleeves.

LMAO!! This man really cracks me up. There is no smoke without fire. People will not insult you if they think you are intelligent, competent and respectable. Simple as that.
Does someone who says:

"Most of what Nigerians call corruption is not corruption. It is mere stealing" - President Goodluck Jonathan (2014)

sound intelligent?
Does someone who says:

“Nigerians, don’t panic. Terrorist attacks are everywhere … maybe it is our turn.” – GEJ

sound competent?
Does someone who says:

"If I don't contest, Nigerians will feel wan kine" - President Goodluck Jonathan to Christiana Amanpour on CNN

sound respectable?

It's really very annoying the way people insult the president.

Insult a president, insult the entire nationhood...

But we can't over rule the import of constructive criticism...

@ Guidette. I think your last quote is wrong. I remember that line like the morning sunrise, and it was made in the last presidential media chat he held in 2010

When asked if he was gonna stand for election, he was like "if I say I would run now (with fingers pointing to the floor), people would start feeling one kain" !

Sh*t hit me like a thunder bolt and I was like "wtf"!
This man leaves a whole world to be desired!!

@post: that man should go tell his puppeteer to stop abusing and insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians, and for once, treat them like that fatso son of his.

Tankyu!

The president speaking for the president!
Ha!

englishmart: It's really very annoying the way people insult the president.

d wife's own is d worst.

if u insult Jonathan and Mama Peace unnecessarily, u will b dealt with by..........

Let Jona resign today as the president and nobody will say a negative word about him. He is being abused because he is responsible for the life and welfare of Nigerians. If he is failing in his responsibility he expect people to keep quiet and be looking like mumu. If the heat is too much just leave the kitchen

Clueless drunk of a President, come catch me, I'm at present in Lagos State. Demdem, have you seen this crap?

You earn respect, you don't demand for it..............If people don't respect you, check yourself.

#Basicwordsofwisdom.

oga jona leave them .Maybe u extend your tenure to 2099 and by then ur enemies would be with 70 virgins as allah promised them

Besides he wont be the 1st.i dnt insult him,i jst criticize! Lobatan!!

They should do what is right.


Death sentence for corruption.

I really don't like this. Maybe they think it's only the president they are insulting. They don't know they are insulting the entire nation.

This does not make any sense. How does tagging Kim a fatso slight the entire north korean nation? The president should just do his job.

What he termed insults will stop when he stops making silly statements
