I wonder why abaiti is shocked and surprised, I once said on this forum how someone in my office from the Niger delta describe ijaw guys, he told me that an ijaw man will praise you to high heavens when you are in office or power but immediately you leave power or office, he quickly turns around to call you a foolish man. I thought he was saying rubbish until when ex militants started to deny Jonathan and when finally papa clark dropped his bombshell.
Am surprised that abati despite his close interactions with ijaw guys when he was in aso rock never knew this. But I must praise Abati for the way he continues to stand by his boss, that is the way it should be and I for one am still a secret admirer of Abati especially in his days in Patito's gang. it's unfortunate that he did not put all he said on this platform into practical application when he got into government. |

thats a different case, the story here is what the man at the helm of affairs choose to do, politicians and people would always sing ur praise. Pmb knows that, he still isnt carried away as he knows the level he confides with these guys even elrufai. He is a wise man that has seen coup and knw the level u trust people as a head of state. But gej was a clown, choosed the wrong people as long as u praise him. Nollywood,can,nass ripped frm his stupidity. And to think that the clowns like clark,noi,dieani,akpabio where people he trusted and gave so much power and sidelined others while fighting men like ameachi who are lions that can be for u till death. I tell u their are many that would despise gej who got alot but just want to pretend In other word, he displayed naivety, "gentlemanism" and particularism in governance. |

This id10t called Abati should shut up.
We all celebrated him when GEJ appointed him, believing he is one of us, that will always ensure Mr. President sees things from the perspective of the masses.
The allure of Aso Rock and power beclouded his mind, when he was in power. He never said anything to the numerous corruption scandal that characterised GEJ's tenure. From Stealer Odua's odeshi-proof car to police Pension scandal etc.
Suddenly, he has found his writing pen again.
Another name for Abati is sycophancy. Yea, a good one there. |

I dont usually comment on topics like this but i have to in this case. Whether you support the new or old adminstration, there is alot to learn from this write up. Don't allow ur friends/relatives stop you from setting a legacy when u ve the opportunity cos when the weather changes some of them will disown you and only ur legacy can save ur reputation. I believe the new administration will learn alot from the mistakes of the previous. No administration is perfect all we need is a better 9ja wia political parties ve different ideologies that will bring abt healthy competition and efficieny in governance. Hoping to see a more capital expenditure based budget next year. I was actually expecting a vital lesson and I just saw one. Thank you Sir. Your legacy with stand for you. |

[b]Chief Edwin Clark's public denial of Jonathan barely 5 Months after he lost power is the worst form of betrayal. Abati is right. If Edwin Clark knew Jonathan was weak, which we all knew, he shouldn't have been so combative then in defending him and he shouldn't have been so open now in denying him.
Truth is that Jonathan was a mistake of a Leader. Jonathan lacked almost every quality which could define a leader and the worst was that He never grew into a Leader even after spending 16 years at the top echelons of Nigerian politics (Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice president, & ultimately President).
Jonathan has a good heart but he is weak, damned too weak to lead a nation like Nigeria.
But In spite of his obvious shortcomings, he did his best. Its doubtful if his best was quite good to Nigerians. But who amongst his predecessors lead Nigeria better That is the irony of this great nation. Though someone like Jonathan was never supposed to be near that sit of power, yet he didnt fare worse than those who had Leadership qualities but still chose to ran the nation aground.
Buhari has all the Leadership qualities needed to run a nation like Nigeria (although his age & his poor education are not good). But he can only succeed if he removes tribalism and nepotism from his blood which I doubt he can do. Buhari has assembled a great team as Ministers. If he can realy work with them and not (only) dictate to them, maybe we would fare better..[/b] You did say who among his predecessors lead Nigeria better. Well, I don't believe in negative comparison as in comparing one devil to another or comparing an evil genius to a mediocre. The question is did he do what is expected of him. Let me give an instance. Stella Oduah was accused of corruption and there was an investigation set up by the house of rep. See, I followed the whole findings. It was crystal clear that this woman was not corrupt free as their lots of manipulations, anomalies, maladies and undue process in the purchase of the odeshi bullet proof BMW. Alas! a clear case of corruption. To be candid, I was just expecting the president to first of all relieve her of her post but the president kept mute. A number of civil organizations, NGOs, lawyers clamoured for her sack as this is a very clear case of corruption. Now, counting on the attitudinal disposition of the president, another group from South East also went ahead to protest against the removal of their own minister, this group was making certain threats and unnationalistic statements like the South East wont support him so we then have a president who was sitting on the fence. Clark studied him really well to have assertively said that he is a weak president. |

Imagine that "America will know" episode regarding the missing $20B. Diezani and Okonjo-Iweala must have laughed themselves to delirium, wondering how unfortunate Nigeria is to be saddled with a gullible dunce. A kindergarten president indeed.
As for Clark, Jonathan was not lacking in the political will to fight corruption. He was busy at his Aso villa laboratory, inventing the long anticipated technology to fight global corruption.

After all the revelation about Fashiola 78b naira fraud accusations, Amaechi 98 billion theft of his people money, billions " donated by Sanusi to his APC pals, your evil mind is still stuck at the 500 mi nara allegedly used by the minister to buy amoured luxury cars for certain VIPs at the nation's airports.

Why is it that all those hounding Stella from groups to media emanates from West or Fulani North? That's a problem.

Edwin Clark just proved himself to be a REAL man when he disowned Jonathan. History will be favourable to him for reflecting back and saying the truth about Jonathan.
Abati will however never have such honour of history favouring his memory because he is just 'omo onijekuje' who sold his brain for wads of soiled naira notes. What a shame! |

Cheif E. Clark is nothing but a shame, a disgrace & an embarrassment to men of principle. To say the least, I was shocked when I read the statement credited to him. How can a supposed octogenarian who has nothing else to loose in this world other than reputation, name & posterity behave like a hussler who is only after his pocket?? I am even more surprised at how other prominent Ijaw men are falling over themselves in who will throw the largest mud on GEJ! If not for Igbos that are still backing GEJ, the Ijaws would have succeeded in fuulishly aiding there enemies in disgracing GEJ who ironically performed better than his predecessors. This is so sad! |
