A former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, has said the government of President Goodluck Jonathan is clueless and that the country was in dire need rescue from what he said is the “imminent brink of irredeemable destruction.” Okogie disclosed this while speaking in Lagos at the 11th edition of the Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture/Symposium, where he was the chairman of the occasion. He urged Nigerians to face the reality and elect only persons “who know what to do,” adding that a lot needs to be done to sensitize voters not to vote for leaders based on ethnic or religious affiliations. Okogie also blasted the Jonathan-led government over the rising level of insecurity and economic woes in the country. He said, “There is extra urgency to rescue Nigeria. This is the time when every right thinking Nigerian must pray to hate the present situation strong enough so as to desire the fortitude to act right. “This time does not allow for indifference. All must rise to save Nigeria from the brink of irredeemable destruction. This is the time we must play politics of the best, for the best position, in order to guarantee the best for our nation. “Let only those with the fear of God and love of their neighbours rule Nigeria; only those who know what to do should sit at the helm of affairs. Enough of mediocrity, enough of failures, enough of nepotism, and enough of ethnicity.” Okogie also described the late Fawehinmi as a courageous, principled, selfless and a detribalised statesman. He said, “It is said that Gani Fawehinmi died a sad man. For a man who was fearless in speaking his mind without caring whose ox is gored, he was jailed many times and detained many more times for no personal crime but for his struggle to ensure justice, fairness and good governance in the country, dying without seeing signs that the new dispensation he struggled for will be achieved is a devastating blow. “Now in death, the knowledge that Nigeria has deteriorated so badly since his passing away must be giving Gani sleeplessness.” He added that if Fawehinmi were to be alive, he would have been worried over the present state of the nation “which is riddled with lies, deception, incompetence, mediocrity, hopelessness, lawlessness and lack of vision.” Source: http://www.today.ng/news/jonathans-government-is-clueless-nigeria-needs-urgent-change-okogie/ 2 Likes |

time for the goons to turn on Okogie they'll conveniently forget that they celebrated okogie when he castigated Fr Mbaka for his message. I told one that Okogie wasn't against the message of Fr Mbaka but wasn't happy that he said it during a church service. whether God spoke to Mbaka isn't the issue but the fact that the man spoke the truth. Okogie wasn't cowed from speaking the truth to IBB, Abacha or OBJ. is it gej he'll be afraid of? or TAN goons think he'll also fall into the ''na our brother'' rubbish? those criticizing the men of God who have spoken out should go back to what they said when they saw the picture below in 2011. GEJ started it and he should live with it. He's even lucky that Okogie didn't think of putting it on CD. Na that one for blow pass  5 Likes

They've started attacking the Archbishop Emeritus as usual. Anyone who attacks/criticises the Presidency now is paid by the Opposition to do so. Hypocrisy. Only in Nigeria: David Cameron to Critics: "You are right. We know we haven't done enough. We can do better & we're working to do better." Barack Obama to Critics: "We are listening & we will continue to do better to improve the American nation." Goodluck Jonathan to Critics: "The problems were there before I came. I will reveal what the past presidents did." 10 Likes 3 Shares |

olaboy001: First and Foremost it is 5years and not 6years. Secondly,When i say i support GEJ, it's not because i want people to believe that he's scored 100% on every index. Rather, he has the qualities of a good student who's constantly striving to better his previous records. My personal assessment is that he scored 40-45% in 100Level, improved to 50-55% in 200Level, achieved about 60-65% in 300Level; now in his final year, he's aiming at 70-80% in spite of cultists/terrorists that are doing everything possible to burn his scripts in the exam hall! It's trite knowledge that a student with a cumulative GPA of about 60% will be awarded a Second Class (Upper Division) degree. When you say 'there is nothing he's done'...then you hide the truth. |

BlackTechnology:I beg to disagree. I have always learnt one thing which can never been unlearnt, and that is the fact people should not be underestimated irrespective of background, religion, and most importantly, educational background. Some times, those whom we think are not up to the task end up beyond our expectations. In the six years of Jonathan's reign, I got admitted into one of the most reputable Federal universities in the country and I'd gladly tell you I went through hell to scale through. And all that happened under a man who had some so-callled 'PhD' in Cassava Studies. Jonathan has nothing to prove as far as the country is concerned. And the most annoying thing is the fact that his so-called campaign grounds have become comedy/assault grounds. I'd rather give my vote to a man who loathes corruption for the sake of my future and that of my unborn kids than dish it out to a man who believes stealing is not corruption. 7 Likes |
