Have you finished?I thank God you did not call him a dictator. You said he encourage corruption, did he also promote it like appointing corrupt Ameachi, Fashola and others ministers? Was he also on a revenge mission like your born -to- rule hero who is busy avenging people instead of governance? As for spitting on him, i'm not surprise because I'm told that is how you did to your late father and he cursed you.Mind you the curse has stick because you will also spit to your generation and generation yet unborn.Even your bubu who claims to be fighting 'kworuption', i know you will also spit on him at the end of 4 years when he must have dealt (revenge) your people for making him failed 3 previous elections! son of a bitch!
focus7:
Op what is wrong in the tweets you showed us, are all his views about Jonathan not correct or what so paining you about this? I can see your effort to incite people against Tolu because of that clueless buffoon and I must tell you it will not work. I have said it before and I say it again that anybody supporting Jonathan may God run his/her life the way Jonathan ran Nigeria! I wait for you to say amen to that. Hypocrite you claiming that Tolu had no respect for anybody by insulting that commander in chief of corruption, just imagine the phrase you used for the sitting president "bubu", is that a compliment? Considering the many derogatory things your like has said about Buhari here on NL, I can only describe you as pot calling kettle black. Before I conclude, you want respect for Jonathan really? I guess you do not know about the guiding rule of respect which says that respect is earned and not enforced. What has Jonathan done to earn him respect from Nigerians, is it that he aided and abated corruption practices, that he went to occasion dancing when some Nigerian were just bombed by boko haram, the he gave us fake projects that could not stand the test of time like outdated trains that began to slipped of the rail and the so much noise airports rehabilitation that gulped so much billions that is delapitating just less than a year after he was removed or that he made mockery of our electoral system by making 16 to be greater than 19 and also engaging the military to rig states election in favour of his party or that he applauded his tug of a governor for beating up a law court judge or that he went about harassing the opposition and hounding their leaders, is it the fact that he clamp down on the newspapers, distabilised the house rep and River state government or that he allowed boko haram turned to a monster or that he allowed his wife turned to mockery? Jonathan does deserve any respect not from someone like me, Jonathan is poo, I spit on him.

Show us proof and we will believe you. As for GEJ's credentials as a failed leader, it's known all over the world and your attempt to localize his buffoonery has failed. The description as an Ineffectual buffoon is right.

Yet he continues to recieve accolades globally.

Tolu Ogunlesi wrote the article. This world is a very small place. People always find out. The same way Reno Omokri was exposed as Wendell Simlin is the same way Tolu Ogunlesi has been exposed here. In the West, these things are easy.
He has also not denied his authorship of the article. If he does, Ayedee, SR and co will hunt down/pay for evidence and paint him as a liar.
Ogunlesi wrote the article

How can someone hide behind a mask to gain attention.

For some reason, some useless wailers are trying so hard to give Tolu, a bad name.

‎The Economist Article: Tolu Ogunlesi's attempts to wail by Proxy 


When the Economist Published their scathing article using derogatory words on former President Goodluck Jonathan and describing Gen Buhari as a fellow who seems not to have learnt anything in 30 years many argued that the article was the hand work of a Nigerian and not a foreign journalists , true to their assertion insiders within the Economist have indeed confirmed that Tolu Ogunlesi actually wrote the article.
You can read the exclusive report from Signalng here


http://www.signalng.com/exclusive-tolu-ogunlesi-wrote-the-economist-article-calling-gej-an-ineffectual-buffoon/

Tolu had always used every opportunity available to him to cast aspersions on the President Goodluck Jonathan no matter the occasion, Few days ago After GEJ was Honoured in Geneva, Tolu rushed to tweet thus ;

"Claiming I built Schools as an achievement while you allowed BH operate unchallenged & Sucurocrats looted defence funds",

Screen Shot Below  

Checks on Tolu's  Profile shows that he has tweeted multiple tweets every single day for the past one week, then he suddenly stopped tweeting at exactly the time the news was broken and has not returned to tweeter for the past 23 hrs (See Screen shot) 

In one of his tweets Tolu Wrote ; all these Minnions on my TL vexing that the I called GEJ a Fisherman's Son - where is. The Insult there? Jesus no be carpenter pikin ( See Screen Shot Below) 

On another Tweet he referred to Reno Omokri as a Low life, 

( see Screen shot Below) 

Tolu has no regards whatsoever for anybody,  he tweets without thinking and his choice of words are always predictable, insultive  and without message any edification whatsoever.

There is simply no need masquerading as a Bubu ally in the day and calling him a block head behind the scenes at  night ,  the last time I checked admissions into the  wailing wailers club is still open and Tolu can still apply but rubbishing Jesus on his TL is simply crossing the line 



May God continue to Bless Nigeria and Nigerians

Talk about over reaching. I have said worse about GEJ, Reno, Abati and Okupe. Am I also a co-author of AN EDITORIAL BY A FOREIGN NEWS MEDIA? Or that privilege is reserved for only high profile names? So not tweeting for a certain amount of time regardless of his circumstances is a sure sign of guilt ba? Such stellar detective work. Go join the Nigerian Police. Your deductive skills will be appreciated
Re: The Economist Article: Tolu Ogunlesi's Attempt to wail By Proxy by Jarus(m): 8:15am On Jan 30, 2016
I can see here that a good number of people here don't know jack about The Economist.

The Economist has a policy, which is more than 70 years old, of not publishing the name of their writers. It did not start today, it did not start yesterday. It is more than 50 years old. So perish the thought that someone has to hide before insulting GEJ. This policy of not naming their writer has been there even before GEJ was born.

I know Tolu and have followed him for years. While I think he's the most gifted under-35 essay writer in Nigeria, and one of the very few journalists of international standing from Nigeria, I seriously doubt he was the one that wrote that piece.

Every article by The Economist is like an editorial. It's their official position. That article has too much of the touch of The Economist's traditional style for me to agree that it was not written by their correspondent, who is likely a foreigner, maybe their West African correspondent.

I see this as another weak attempt by the wailers to forcefully put a Nigerian scapegoat to the article.
