So even Tolu is affected by the crude economics tactics, while praising Buhari's policies, he writes articles under "anonymous" and refers to his principal as an "idio.t" who has learnt nothing in 30+ years.

Little wonder for the many years of president Buhari rearing cattle he can only boast of 150 cattles.

Nonsense. Only those who are battling neo-colonialism psychosis will find this unmerited attack on GEJ, a former head of state of the most populous black nation in Africa, happy. What the naive blacks don't know is that the West don't want their betterment and progress and would seize at any slim opportunity to lash at them and their figure heads.

It's surprising that The Economist, based in the UK would play blind to the fact that Britain, a monarch state, with it pseudo democratic values feast on the tax payer contribution to finance their monarchy against the will of many Brits and without any ballot to ascertain if the common tax payer wants their taxes to fund the fat cats in Buckingham palace talks about a sovereign state like Nigeria in such despicable manner.

Why has The Economist with it acclaim world wide reputation not seen anything wrong with the UK invading developing third world countries under the guise of peace keeping only to plunder their natural resources? The fact is that Britain and her American allies in alliance with their bulldog media lack merits to label an ex-president of a sovereign states buffoon coz they are the real buffoons. These pseudo world powers are the major reason for the black man quagmire and should shut up.

Yes, GEJ is inept, clueless and shouldn't have ever been president but I don't need the West to tell me. If I can't tell them that Cameron and Obama are blood sucking power mongers they too shouldn't tell me about my president and country. It's sad that ignorant Nigerians and Jonathan haters are celebrating on this brazen attack on our sovereignty and pride as a country. Really sad and I say fvck The Economist and it Western sponsors. undecided

Whether it was one line or half, you people should leave GEJ out of your madness.



Adminisher:


Please try to use your BRAINS. There were more than a thousand words in that article which was actually critical of some Buhari policies. Only a few lines were devoted to Jonathan .
The whole point of the article was to persuade Buhari to take some economic policies and not to insult Jonathan. If only one sentence is the thing rankling you guys then maybe it is true that Jonathan really is an ineffectual buffoon

I personally agree with your submission as the name calling is a new low for them. I can also understand why the "Jonathan haters" as you say are 'celebrating'. If it was Buhari or any other president that was so called, these same people forming outrage would be "celebrating" as well.

Here is your evidence. Tolu Ogunlesi has been associated with the Economist as a contributor since at least year. Read the link below:

Thanks.

He conceded defeat. Handed over to opposition without protests or war.That singular action saved the lives of thousands, property worth billions. No African in history has ever done that. I'm not a fan of GEJ, but it's the reason for the peace we experienced.
