Err, not trying to knock your hustle but President GEJ did say that some senior citizens are nothing but garage touts. So much for respect.

There is so much bitterness and lack of objectivity in your assessmnet of GEJ. I am a proponent of young people in government...what is wrong with that? If you count yourself as incapable or unworthy to assume elective office in whatever capacity then stay there!

All these military men, even buhari, that you are clamouring for was the minister of petroleum in his 30s and head of state at 43 and here u are lamely berating GEJ for his opinion on young leaders.....shane on you and your mindless likers

So sick of the unthinking buharists thinking buhari and his cohorts will take nigeria into eldorado even in 4 years

And you think you have objectivity in your assessment og GEJ? What do you mean you are a proponent of young people in government? Are young people or were young people not in government? Was Dimeji Bankole not a youth? Was Labaran Maku not a youth? Was Amaechi, Saraki, Fashola not youth when they became governor of their respective states. How did the so called youths perform when given responsibilities? Just because you are a youth does not mean you should be handed over a government responsibility, you must earn your position like any other Nigerian.

Since Jonathan haa been harping so much on youthfulness and age, what has he done to mentor these youth. A good leader cultivates acolytes or disciples who will propagate his ideas and values, how many youths has jonathan inspired. Awolowo trained and left many disciples who took over leadership and carried on with his ideals and principles. What exactly are Jonathans ideals and principles outside the quest for power.

Please give example of one youth that you think can lead Nigeria. You guys are just parroting youth, youth, youth just to malign Buhari.

[size=13pt] Man void of sentiments, are you saying that:

1) The so called old General is sincere even with the certificate forgery saga?

2) There are not younger Nigerians who are astute, diligent, upright and pragmatic to rule this nation?

3) Are you implying that the younger ones are all thieves and the older ones like Buhari are saints?

Please ponder on and lets read your views again.
[/size]



1. I have no doubt that GMB is very sincere about the certificate. You need to prove otherwise and not the make-up stories PDP sell to dummies before I change my position.

2. Of course there are many young Nigerians who are astute, diligent, upright and pragmatic to rule this nation. But has this current regime led by GEJ demonstrated that? Are the young Nigerians in his government not looting without any consequences?

3. Of course you know that I don't imply that all young Nigerians are thieves and older ones are saint. That will be stupid of anyone to imply but the fact is that Jonathan loves the corrupt ones and the thieves irrespective of their age.

Ponder please!

Crap as usual from the unintelligent president.

Going by your warped reasoning, it doesn't matter if the younger person is competent or not.

OBJ who led from age 70 till 78, despite our condemnation of his regime, has turned out to be far better than yours by every parameter with which good governance is measured.

If you had performed well beyond the mediocre achievements you hype about, Buhari would have been a DOA (dead on arrival)
case but since your performance has been an "F", we youths are
once again relying on the so-called old but sincere General.



In your myopic calculation, you will not mind supporting any of the younger thieves and looters who dominate your government.

You remain the worst president Nigeria has ever known.
Buhari is already dead on campaign. Listen to his campaign " I will fight curruption, insurgent and problem of economy" period

This JONAthan is a comedian "per excellento"..the same goes to all the ppl shouting that Buhari is old,I mean how old is JONA?..almost 60yrs an Buhari is 70 or so,an wat is the difference?first lest ask ourselves,wt is the recommended age for a nigerian presidential aspirants,40yrs?is that not an error in our badly crafted constitution..that we clamouring for youths to take over an yet the law forbids a "30yr old " from been our leader,wt a shame!so if Buhari is old,Jonathan is not young either.

After GEJ 2015, Ribadu 2019 follows!
Nuhu Ribadu will be 59 by that time. He should withdraw from the race now and give his ticket to someone younger, that person must be smarter than him too. That person must have a beautiful, intelligent and caring wife.

It does not sound as if he is suggesting forcing anyone on Nigeria, he is simply saying an older candidate won't get his support.

It's about time the younger generation are involved in politics beyond door to doors, crusades, photo ops, and thuggery.

The traditional order needs replacing and Nigerians need to really feel as though the polity is a reflection of them.

You can never see the achievements of Jonathan because you are driven by ethnic and religious bigotry to blindly support a man like Buhari for president of Nigeria in this 21st century. Lies from APC against Jonathan government are mega barrels. To blackmail the incumbent governor of Kaduna state, APC's El Rufai just lied that there are only 200 doctors in Kaduna state. Lies . Fact is even ABU Zaria alone has more than 200 doctors. Why does APC depend on lies?

Despite your insult on the president, GEJ is still waxing strong. GEJ will be president come Feb. 14 2015, we don't need old cargo like BUHARI who parades him as clean while being completely dirty with no certificate , check his atrocities in the military in fact he is a disagree to humanity no wonder IBB overthrew.

President Jonathan merely expressed the desire for a younger person to lead Nigeria after him. Do not mind the mindless APC people who are mostly with almajiri level education like their Buhari. They can't even read between the lines.

Interesting that the President would make all these errors. He can't tell that Yaradua (whom he worked with closely) died before at 58, yet he says someone can't remember phone number. What's the use of a PhD if it's not accompanied with mental acuity?

Lies about Jonathan?

1. It's a lie that 12 unemployed youths died in the NIS job scam, and that no justice have come their families way?

2. It's a lie that 21 billion dollars was alledged to be missing (ok NOI said it's about 10 billion dollars) and nothing is said about the forensic report that was commissioned by Mr. Clueless till date?

3. The kerosene and fuel subsidy scam is a lie?

4. Stella Oduah's defrauding of her ministry is a lie?

5. That you Oga says stealing is not corruption is a lie?
