Is plagiarism a grammatical error that proof reading will make u detect? Do u expect them to know all Obama's speeches offhand. The only person that could have known it was plagiarized is someone that knows abt that particular Obama's speech....

BBC Africa has carried the news
the person that read the speech said it was plagiarized and apologized for it. you still carry the case for head.

Define plagiarism...

Buhari is half illiterate. But he is your president. He will be till he loses in election, or refuses to recontest the next election. You all are here, making fun of him and giving yourselves headache over him. Look at his record achievement.

Shio....

This is a serious show of shame & an indication that this govt has nothing on its own to deliver to the populace.

Everything about these people na scam or copy copy. They have no ideas of their own and nothing in general to offer.

Nigerians, we are in for a really rough ride. Lord help us.

OMG!!!

Must u keep blaming everyone for your ineptitude

How's this an apology Shifting the blame to an overzealous staff, why couldn't u just proof-read the material yourself or have Garba Shehu himself go through it before going on air

This is irresponsibility, cowardice, and stupidity. There are certain mistakes I am ashamed of making at this young age of mine one of which is shifting blame to others when I could have avoided d whole drama

I'd be ashamed to be Buhari's media aid personally, because the things he makes them do and say atimes makes you question their qualifications and crisis handling capacity

bro you don't make sense at all..When you get to the position of a governor or local government chairman self or head of a big organisation,you really think you will be able to write all your script your self,It's never done anywhere.Anyway someone just lost his job

Did even go to school school at all. Do you know what plagiarism means? Check both speeches and tell me that is a plagiarized speech. Then you can go ahead and call for your President's prosecution. Educated illiterate.

They have apologized thereby accepting dt they are guilty but a complete I.idiot like u still wants to talk. SMH

For ur education d president deserves to be prosecuted BC u can't apologize n go free when caught in a criminal offence. It's a bad precedence but d illiterate president barely understood what he has done. They shld write to Obama and d US, b4 they take d case to court.

What leads to being prosecuted on issues of plagiarism? What will be the situation before a legal proceeding is embarked on?

Lolzzz! You must be Goliath bro.

My dear friend, is so annoying. How can they now turn around to begin blackmailing us that change begins with us. Did i promise change in the first place? Those who made promises should keep their promises and not try to rob everybody with it.

After all the blame and everything, we agree. Jonathan and PDP killed Nigeria, is that what He is going to tell us at the end of the tenure? And after which, just give me another tenure lets see if we can finally clean it.

The Presidency finally did the right thing. We can now move on from this.

hope those APC/Buhari apologists (mars and co) who defended it can see how serious plagiarism is.

Some people are just irredeemable. The president has seen the error and has apologised to avoid further embrassment then you are here still defending that there is no plagiarism because PMB can do no wrong. How stupid can some of you get?

the first time to apologize but on an irrelevant thing .why not apologize to zombies for deceiving them and running the economy aground.. well, they are good in misplacing priorities.

I didn't even see any apology here, only blame and looking for another scapegoat that will take the fall for his ineptitude.

So in your mind, proof reading is a way to detect plagiarism abi?
Are you sure you know what plagiarism is?

in as much as I'd like to ignore you and your comments for lack of understanding and foresight, I'll enlighten you a little on this issue

When u proof read it doesn't necessarily means you are checking just only grammatical errors and language structure, rather it entails d act of checking for the overall soundness of your write up, does it make sense? Will my listeners and readers grasp the idea? Am I communicating? Is the content original? And lots and lots of other things are considered too

For a campaign of such social magnitude one would have gone through the speech with whoever wrote, thereafter if accepted, you ask your special advisers to check for plagiarism, which is even easy to to detect with advanced search through google.

Am not asking him to write his speeches, all am saying is that he could have avoided the whole drama if he had shown a little seriousness towards this ' Change begins with me' campaign.

as for you Mr. Defender...ignorance is not an excuse, you obviously do not know the consequences of plagiarism and it's legal implications because you have never published anything before In your life, not even an original Facebook post perhaps

With google alone you can check for plagiarism within a minute, the fact that you don't know this and you are unwilling to learn baffles me... Keep defending his mistakes hopefully some day you will see the light, but until then try to get an education, you'd thank me later

I have nothing against the apology but this part PMB has ordered that prompt & appropriate disciplinary action be taken against those responsible for a wrongful insertion in his speech delivered on September 8, 2016 at the launch of the “Change Begins with Me’’ campaign.” We once heard this when the budget was padded, till now, we didn't hear of the persons sanctioned. Always in a rush to threaten fire and brimstones and everything will end there. Joke of a government

How will u hear when u ve been blinded by hypocrisy and prejudice. This kind of unawareness is what u get frm being horribly bias.
