Believe me, Jonathan is so lenient. Agreed he is the president, he is not in charge of everything cos there is delegation of functions. Agreed that the bulk stops at his table, he should not be blamed for all our woes and ordeals. The prof shoud have known better.

I don't know him cos I schooled in France.
I'm sure this whole thing about schooling in france or wherever was probably meant as a joke, to make people laugh. But unfortunately people like you just succeed in killing the humour in it.

The problem with this president is that he's too damn childish, petty and impulsive. He sees anyone who gives him a blunt advice as an adversary. He prefers to dwell in company of those who lead him by the nose to his destruction cheering him on like some valiant warrior. He finds truth rather repulsive and lies edifying.

His worst enemies are those closest to him; the Abatis, Okupes, Clerks, and the Dokubos of this Nation.

But bro, do you really sleep on nairaland especially any topic concerning GEJ? I asked this because i have seen you in all the threads about GEJ. You really get time o!

What moral justification does he has to compare the president with Nebu...Why not speak the truth? First, do we need any force to compel the Speaker (House of Rep.) to resign before force was used on him. Why didn't Wole Soyinka and his likes, advise the Speaker to vacate his seat before forces were used on him. Why not gate jumpers adviced their leader to vacate the seat before forces were used on him. Why can't we obey a simple rule and obey and respect our president for the position he occupied. We can't say the truth when needed, but only to condemn situation when it happened, because we already have a baised mind. We must be objective when we judge.

What sort of nonsense of this, I mean who is this man who so open his decayed shit emitting 32 to spew out lies that even a two year old can detect.

So according to GEJ and his band of irresponsive and incompetent horde of liars anybody who criticize his administration is sympathetic to the APC?.

Which objectivity are you referring to?. Is there anywhere in the constitution of Nigeria where its stated that the speaker should vacate his sit when he decamps?.

You should know that for one to be respected one has to command respect of be deserving of that respect.

Okupe spewing balderdash as usual. He should debunk what Prof. Soyinka said and stop blaming the Opposition for everything. Okupe didn't say that what Soyinka said was false, all he's saying is that his closeness to the opposition has clouded judgement. What has this got to do with the Opposition?! What has this got to do with Amaechi?! If Amaechi replies the FG now, they would say his statement is reckless!



The above statement is pure irony. If it's not, then it's laughable!



In terms of being liberal can you compare GEJ to Obasanjo? Obasanjo did not tolerate dissent while he was president. He impeached people with impunity and chose which court judgments to obey and which to discard. The fact is that as bad as you think GEJ is, he is still the most liberal president we have had since 1999. Everyone is allowed to criticize and oppose him. Obasanjo used EFCC at any slight provocation as an attack dog. If you are really disputing it, tell us any other president whom you think was more liberal than GEJ.

The okupe guy will eat poo just to keep his job.

The president and his gang of criminals should be sent packing come next year.

If Soyinka had collected the stupid award gej gave his gangs of biased thieves and past looters then I would v said he also collects Ghana must go and can't say the truth.

You don't have to loose you're sense of reason because of money and automatically reason,speak and act like a gorrila. Some gorras are smart even.

It is unusual for the Lion and Tiger to hunt together, just as it is ominous for WS and OBJ to come together from thesame corner of Nigeria to destroy a Lamb of our common Creator! There is something the two know that the rest of us don't know. They should tell the Electorate in clearer language translateable into Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo Languages.

Prof is now in cahoots with APC and its a shame. Now he keeps
on blowing grammar about the problems of this country without
in the same vein preferring possible solutions.
It is easy to
castigate the president but to make meaningful suggestions is
another thing entirely. Prof needs to chill. Grammar isn't what
will help us confront the myriad issues we are facing right now.
There are many APC governors who can also be referred to as Nebuchadnezzar, e.g Amosun of Ogun state but prof won't see that one.
At this stage, Prof should be giving unbiased constructive criticism but you never see him critcize APC. I just hope he is being paid well by APC.

Profer solutions that who will implement?

Must you react to everything? Goodluck Jonathan is always reacting to other peoples comment. Stop this immature act and prove them wrong by simply making good policies that will develope Nigeria. Your perfomance should speak for you Mr President and not by replying people up and down! I wonder who is advising Mr President to be replying comment.

Their are serious issue such as Boko Haram to react and attend to and not this.

Sorry if the truth hurts but the dude is consistent in supporting the underdog against unbridled power.

1. GEJ against YarAdua cabal. Ans: GEJ
2. Abacha against Nadeco and Nigeria. Ans: Nadeco
3. Nigeria against Biafra. Ans: Biafra


4. GEJ against Tambuwal? Fill in the blank space.

The oppressed has become the oppressor. The guy who was a victim of state power against rule of law is the State oppressor now. Its an Animal farm.

Obasanjo was using EFCC then to harass people. Now, GEJ uses DSS as his attack dog. What's the difference between the two?! Did Yaradua also attack people like these 2 guys?! Jonathan shouldn't consider himself liberal, rather clueless!
