In a bizarre tale that illustrates how Nigeria is run, President Goodluck Jonathan arrived two weeks ago at a top secret meeting with the exiled Emir of Gwoza, the newly-named headquarters of Boko Haram’s so-called “Islamic Caliphate,” with no knowledge of the location of Gwoza, presidency sources at the meeting said.

The Emir, Muhammed Timta, escaped after the militants invaded Gwoza on August 16 and took over his palace.

He arrived in Abuja after first making his way to Maiduguri to escape further attempts on his life. His father, Idrissa Timta, had died in a Boko Haram ambush on May 30, 2014 as Boko Haram ambushed his convoy on his way to the burial of the Emir of Gombe.

Shortly after Timta’s arrival in Abuja, President Jonathan sent for the Emir, who was accompanied to the meeting by a Borno Senator, Ali Ndume. However, to the utter shock of the Emir, President Jonathan did not know where Gwoza was located: Adamawa or Borno State.

Presidency sources said silence enveloped the room after the President, apparently lacking basic research or a briefing by his numerous aides and security agencies, asked in condescending pidgin, “Where’s Gwoza sef?”

Mr. Jonathan then promised to ‘liberate’ Gwoza after Senator Ndume told him Gwoza was his home town and that it is located in Borno State.

Gwoza remains under the control of Boko Haram after the sect took over the township in a raid and declared the town the headquarters of the “Islamic Caliphate” in the Northeast of Nigeria.

At least three attempts by Nigerian troops have been repelled by the militants.  Several soldiers and innocent civilians were killed.

Jona ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mr. President could have taken a minute or two off to look at a detailed map of Nigeria to know the exact location of Gwoza, a town that was supposed to be part of his jurisdiction rather than asking this sort of embarrassing question.

oyaaaa mek I put my signature, in case of incasity

Gwoza is a town that shares border with Otuoke. That's what they should have replied him.

hmmmmmm !

Do you actually expect a reasonable person to believe this?

Audio recording of the President saying that or i don't believe it.

Perhaps the president needs to surf tru nairaland on a daily basis as we seem to be more informed about happenings in the country dan our so called PHD Holder President

smh!

Check the sauce or source before commenting.......This amebo report is one of the numerous attempt to make GEJ look clueless, definitely Gwoza has been in the news for a while and president had been briefed severally about the place before this said meeting.

So Sahara or shakara report seems to be saying Gej was not asking questions during the numerous briefing and about the location of the place?

What a dumbb fabrication.

People can go miles just to tell a lie....you don't like him, we know. Nairaland where lies are debated in the name of politics

StealthyMe: Now thats A Real President!

You now see why Shekau and his lean ragtag urchins are having a field day at our expense.. So what have the been discussing at their security meetings

Why should a sane human being care about where Gwoza or Gworo seen, have you seen any toothpick or chewing gum written "Made in Gwoza" ?

this Gwoza that is taking the larger percantage of our budget to fight insurgency, how many medical doctors, engineers or lawyers have they been able to give Nigeria for her name to ring a bell.


Pls where can one go through Gwoza if not Chad , Sudan and Niger, ?

Abeg make una free the fisherman because nobi only him no get shoe as a kid

Keneking: Jona ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

DONMAYOR19: I can bet with everything that more than 80% of the people saying rubbish here about the president asking this questions don't even know the answer to the question before now , yet they will open their mouth to say rubbish....sahara reporter mumu people, I hope after u published this news the problem for borno has been solved?...useless reporters...

Ordinary Nigerians may not know..or ,may not even care to know. But GEJ is the C-I-C of Gwoza, so he has absolutely no reason not to know the location. That is the burden of ruler-ship.

He was only trying to spite the buffon terrorist senator,nothing more nothing less .

What kind of mud will Sahara Reporters and its sponsors not throw at GEJ? You see all these lies and you'd want to go mad cos you'd wonder how people just come up with these stories and report them brazenly as if they are true. No wonder First Lady Payshe cry say 'there is God u o'. I can't blame her, stories like these go wan make you halla. Honestly, I owe the lying Yele Sowore a blow to his face and groin. Max wey I go receive na caution.

If this is true then it is a bad omen for our country.

berem: Gwoza is a town that shares border with Otuoke. That's what they should have replied him.

Olodo President !

He is either clueless or can't give a damn!
More like the latter though.

GEJ IS NOT JUST CLUELESS BUT CONFUSED


LAST BULLET:
