Washington Post Blasts Jonathan For Campaign Slogan by Beazy(f): 5:05am On Sep 10, 2014

TheWashington Posthas criticised President Goodluck Jonathan over a campaign slogan in support of his re-election in 2015.
In an editorial in the United States-based newspaper on Tuesday, titled, ‘This may be the most inappropriate political hostage of the year,’ it questioned the slogan’s similarity with that of the pressure group,Bring Back Our Girls,seeking the rescue of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted in April.
The article, in part, reads, “It was the social media campaign of the year.#BringBackOurGirlsawoke the world to the ravages of Boko Haram, an al-Qaeda-linked terror group in Nigeria, and the plight of the millions of people who live in the midst of their insurgency.
“At the heart of the message were hundreds of missing schoolgirls, abducted in April from the remote village of Chibok by Boko Haram fighters who vowed to turn them into slaves.
“The#BringBackOurGirlshostage channelled sympathy from abroad and local outrage and concern in Nigeria, with many angry at the government of President Goodluck Jonathan for being unable to free the captured women.”
The editorial argued that four months later, the girls have yet to be brought back, despite the efforts of the Nigerian military as well as US counter-terrorism forces deployed in neighbouring Chad.
It further noted that more than 200 girls remain missing in suspected Boko Haram captivity, adding that others had “perished from snakebite, illness and deprivation in the wild.”
TheWashington Postarticle underscored that the extremist Islamic sect had continued its slaughter in recent months, seizing more territory in the north-eastern side of the country.
“Over the weekend, it stormed towns along Nigeria’s border with Cameroon, killing dozens of innocent souls.
“Nigerian forces are now fighting Boko Haram in pitched battles around Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, the main hotbed of Boko Haram’s operations.
“The US reports that, at least, 1.5m people have been displaced by the conflict since Jonathan’s government declared a state of emergency in May,” It further said.
According to the editorial, while#BringBackOurGirlswas just a briefcause celebrein the West — a passing moment to get morally exercised and then move on; it had a deeper meaning in Nigeria.
It further reads, “It echoed the larger frustrations of a society that has little faith in its political leadership. It is fed up with endemic corruption and wants genuine reform and better governance.
“Boko Haram is a fanatical, murderous outfit, but its insurgency gained sway in a region that has been historically marginalised and neglected by Nigeria’s central government.”
The post described Jonathan as seemingly indifferent towards the missing girls, saying his alleged indifference had hardly helped. The editorial added that in the early stages of the protests, the First Lady had reportedly had a number of#BringBackOurGirlsactivists detained.
“In this context, the new campaign slogan is particularly galling. Jonathan has not brought back the girls, yet his campaign expects Nigeria to bring him back to power. One wonders if it will spawn more rich satire among Nigerians on social media. After all, there’s plenty of precedent,” it said.

It is only an evil coven that will suppress a legitimate course and turn around to feast and harvest its proceeds and fortunes. This is a peak of Shamelessness. This madness is a pure case of evil and wickedness again humanity. And to imagine that the administration is not doing any meaningful to rescue the girls, defeats all sensibility and decency.

Jonathan has failed Nigerians.

This is what happens when you have an unempathetic retar*d as president. That campaign slogan is obviously ill-though and crass, whoever came up with it deserves to have their tongue ripped out.

Jonada*ft surrounds himself with fellow retar*ds who will always dance to his tune provided their bellies are kept full. Retar*ded government = retar*ded country; undeniable reality.

Anyway I'm sure neither jonadaf*t not his sycophants see anything wrong with that slogan, after all a man can't reason beyond his mental scope.

Demdem: Jonathan is both shameless and heartless.

The daftness exhibited in that campaign concept shows how Nigeria is being run since the inception of this present administration.

Now I can boldly say and be 100percent certain that its not only Jonathan that his clueless. Everyone on his team, his wife, his advisers, his minister, PDP, and all other members of his cabinet are the dumbest people on planet earth.

Nigeria is just too complex for a simpleton like Jonathan. Its like presenting a further maths problem to a group of primary school pupils...that's exactlt what this administration represents.
