Is this what we are expecting from him,while Cameron went with few advisers thinking more of UK home problems and spending cuts in the UK Budget.This is silly to say the least.He will not take part only as Fan member or as they say in plain English an Observer.

You have to ask why only one newspaper is reporting this. Is the story plain falsehood (as is frequent with our press) or are others scared of govt?

Why wont they be scared after all the killing and maiming of journalists in the recent past.

such bravery is the only way to fight the government and let the nation know what is happening to them.

Do you mean by govt? Or do you mean by individual politicians? They are two very different things and you might be making very serious allegations that could very well be unfounded.

Waste of taxpayers money.i dont really blame him,he is just an opprtunist afterall he never dreamt of becoming a president.absolute rubbis!!!

Reporting stories that have no reliable source whatsoever is not the same as bravery. Tabloids report lies about anything or anybody without any fear. I wouldn't regard them as brave. I like Saharareporters, but I have noticed lately, they have little or no news at all. Looks like they have to cover up their short comings with these kinds of articles.

Jonathan is in Canada . . .

Not certain of the 140 number but I do know he is travelling with quite a lot of folks.

and you think any news reporter will write something unfounded about the commander in chief of a country and get away with it?ask Gen. Stanley McChrystal ,the commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan and hear what he will tell you not to talk of a common newspaper/reporter.

O boy, you funny gan.

So you are now comparing America to Nigeria eh?

Sahara reporters has stood by its story and named names. It's down to the presidency to disprove this article.

Nairalanders, let us strive to tell the truth all the time regardless of whether the person is from 'your side' or not. That is the only way we can move forward.

As far as I'm concerned Saharareporters has way more credibility than Nigeria's inept government.

I'm sure the delegates are more than 140.

That Nigeria is a very useless country, I swear.

lol! I bet you the 140 delegates would eventually play a role in the president's PDP presidential primaries.
That is how the game goes in Nigeria.
Frankly I would not expect probity from Jonathan. If he really wants to win next year or stay in office, there is no other way. Nigerians can never understand probity from him. Probity is alien to Nigeria at least at the very top; it just can't happen.

I have said it before and I would repeat it, if I were Jonathan, I would rule Nigeria for ever. Nothing will happen.
All you need is allow the stakeholders to eat. That's all.

It seems Jonathan may be like the rest of the goats that have been selected as presidents of the failed state called Nigeria.

Or does he think that by going with the largest number of delegates the G-20 may consider including Nigeria?

How can anyone explain this aside from the strong urge by Nigerian government officials to waste, steal and embezzle public funds. very useless animals in human skin.

Cohomology:

When Nigerians come here to talk about Nigeria as if anything makes sense in it I wonder.

Nigeria is INCAPABLE of progressing politically as presently constituted.

Jonathan would be a fool to allow himself to be killed or ousted just because Nigerians can't think or accept the truth.

All he needs to do is protect himself in office and rule for as long as he wants. That's all.

HAHAHAAH! i like this news! he's making a statement and obviously the man has more sense then you people cause he's the president of the most powerful black nation in the known world and you work for the canadian postal service and post threads on websites.



You people just want a reason to blame him for your poverty so everything he does is a problem. If he wants to go with more ppl then all the african nations combine then awesome, he's obviously trying to seperate himself from the pack of african nations and nigeria is better then all the african nations combine anyways.

if spain did this you will start asking why nigeria didn't do it.

Jonathan should play the same script and he does not owe us sh!t. His presidency comes first. As long as he spreads the largess, he will win next year.

lmao!

Cohomology and yourself have spoken well. All we need are a few good men, with integrity, courage and patriotism to fight for the national interest, but where is this national interest? all I can see so far is personal interest.

But there must be something wrong inside the heads of Nigerians.

Why do we allow ourselves to be hoodwinked by too many idiots?

Only Buhari and late Idiagbon ruled that country called Nigeria with any level of decency. Idiagbon would have sent six delegates and wouldn't even bother attending. For what? Observers? Dem no get work to do?

Sapele let me ask you this question because I need your HONEST answer.

Do you believe that Jonathan can win elections next year without manipulating the process?

A similar question is this: Do you believe he can successfully reform Nigeria without risking his life?

There is no national interest because the average Nigerian sees himself as a member of an ethnic group way before seeing himself as a Nigerian.

Also, because the average Nigerian does not employ his/her mental faculties (hunger, poverty, sickness, no mental faculty, who knows?), we allow ourselves to be used as toys by the crooks in government to fight each other on ethnic and religious grounds. We even kill each other to make sure that certified thieves are in government just because the thief is from our ethnic group.

As long as the average Nigerian refuses to apply his/her mental faculties, all these goats, many of them pregnant he-goats, will continue to destroy whatever is left of that country called Nigeria.

The bolded is the biggest fallacy in your logic. There are NO AVERAGE NIGERIANS.
All the past leaders that tried to create that identity were killed or ousted in coups.

Honestly speaking, No on both counts - 'Goat no dey born lion', rigging dey for People Demonic Party blood, Nigerians need to ignore that party and return to regional politics and federalism.

As for risking life? Once you step up to say you want to be a leader, you must be prepared for self sacrifice. That is the ultimate price for national honour- abi no be so ?

Onlytruth:

Unfortunately, Idiagbon is late, may his soul rest in peace.

Buhari is still around, but some don't want to give him a chance. Maybe because he's Hausa/Fulani and Muslim.

I'm neither Hausa nor Muslim, but I cannot even find anyone I can trust more than Buhari to rule Nigeria, except for the likes of Wole Soyinka and maybe Pat Utomi. There are few others, not more than twenty. The rest are certified crooks, thieves, barawos! But many will support them because they're from their village.

As long as we Nigerians continue to think like sheep, goats will continue to "emerge" as our presidents.

You and I know that a leader like Buhari actually meant well for Nigeria more than say Awo or Ojukwu. But guess who is more revered in Nigeria today?

I would not (and I don't expect Jonathan to ) risk my life for Nigeria.

All those who are opposing him now would calm down once he throws oil blocks at them, even the most hardened northern opposition.

Nigeria is irreparably rotten at the core (center).

Is your quarrel with the word "Nigerian" or the word "average"?

Ok my problem is Nigerian. They don't exist.

I would explain more. There are about three categories of Nigerians. And Nigeria is at least three nations in one.
