To prove to you that their interests are personal and not for the people they claim to represent you will notice that while this administration has spent considerable time and resources as well as focused attention on the recent floods in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and Jigawa states and the Cholera epidemic in certain parts of Nigeria as well as the lead poisoning that has consumed 400 children in Zamfara state, these so called concerned people have not been known to address any of these issues nor offer a word of succour to the victims. This is irrefutable proof that their only focus is how to get power and not the wellbeing of the long suffering people of Nigeria whom I have sworn to Almighty God to protect

   Could someone explain this to Mr President?
         Pragmatics is a systematic way of explaining language use in context. It seeks to explain aspects of meaning which cannot be found in the plain sense of words or structures, as explained by semantics.

        And also about SPEECH ACT THEORY

Speech act theory broadly explains these utterances as having three parts or aspects: locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts.

Locutionary acts are simply the speech acts that have taken place.
Illocutionary acts are the real actions which are performed by the utterance, where saying equals doing, as in betting, plighting one's troth, welcoming and warning.
Perlocutionary acts are the effects of the utterance on the listener,  

If he is aware of the language act then he should becareful how he uses words.It wrecks havock than the twin bombs.
Let him learn how to manage crises without escalating it

The truth is always hard to believe, i am from North and it is true that we love to bury the Truth. What the Nigerians want to hear from Goodluck is lies. It is better he choose the way of the truth. Say it and say it loud, people will say what they like. TRUTH is TRUTH. HE is the head of the security in Nigeria, for those who said he should have waited for the result to come out. He is communication well and getting upto date information better than any person in Nigeria now. He is truly incharge, so no point t discredit him or say he is not capable. The problem is in us as Nigerian who dont want to believe truth. The Truth is that those who set the bomb are the people who are using it against the president. No doubt, we must learn to accept the truth and not to praise evil. I am worried that we are jumping into issues like people that never set eyes on the 4 walls of a school. Allow the president to tell us what actually happens

This is coming from one of the very few unbiased northerners.
In case of doubt, We need to be aware of some facts.
1. GEJ is President and C in C , therefore he has access to highly classified information that are not available to average Nigerians not even the highly placed in the society.

2. He could not have been wrong when he claimed he knew the perpetuators of the bomb blasts given the level and authencity of the Information at his disposal.

3. The evil genius himself IBB, cannot sincerely claim (in his heart) that Mr. President is ignorant about the elements behind the incidents.

4. The President claimed that MEND was not responsible as we were made to beleive , I think he was proved right by the ORIGINAL members of MEND who visited him, not the so called criminal in Henry orkar who is even not a recognised leader of MEND.

5. Can someone trace back the history of Bomb blast in this Country, I m very sure you know there is just one known Masterminder in our history books , IBB.

6. Goodluck never retrieved his words and coupled with his FB write up , we now know he still stands by his earlier claims. tho he might have told us the truth when there was little or no evidence to make us beleive.

7. I want to beleive he will still get to the root of all these and the criminals will be brought to book.

Facebook again why not NTA and Radio Stations,How many Nigerians can access facebook,This dude is not serious at all.

Stop deceiving yourselves and other nairalanders. You think he writes on his facebook? Rubbish. It is managed by his IT department idi, ots

The major problem I have with citizen of this nation is the fact that we are too sentimental (No wonder we are the most religious nation in the World), Goodluck J has nothing to offer this country, He has emphasize in his speech in the past and during declaration that he is not promising Nigeria anything, sooo If he does not perform no one should crucify him, I believe its time we stop beliveing easily that things are divine, Some thing can appear divine but they are actually things that just came to be without Supreeme power behing them, Its time we all put our Destiny in our hands, Nigeria need a young Blood/Firm personalty/Democrat (Maybe a Nuhu Ribadu)/, TRUTH BE TOLD
