GEJ introduced social networking to Nigerian (even African) politics. That is what the Minister meant, he was 100% correct.
Because of GEJ, all Nigerian politicians are striving hard to seem in connection with the masses and youth through facebook, twitter and the likes (even monsters like IBB).

gej introduced social networking to nigerian politics? you must be as dumb as the information minister himself.

Let's hear word jor!
Are you telling us because he had a group on FB means he brought FB to Nigeria?
Besides the minister is so manifest that can be misunderstood! . . .  . . .He definitely meant GEJ brought FB to nigeria and not to the nigerian Politics.

Typical fan


Next year we'll hear GEJ brought fresh air and invented sliced bread in Nigeria.

El-Rufai has been actively facebook-politicking for at least 2 years now.
Ditto for Fashola.
So Beaf, I beg to disagree.

In what context was the sentence made? Or he just stood up n made the above statement? If u can also quote what he said before and after the above statement then we can judge whether or not it really is a dumb statement like u're painting it. Until then, u and your fellow half witted posters can shut your excessively wide traps cos as it stands U folks are only making a fooool of your frigging selves. U can thank me later.

that lam adeshina's son has been using facebook to campaign for three years now when gej was still suffering from intellectual sterility. gej my blood foot.

Technically, he did 'bring' Facebook to Nigerians.
First President to use social networking to interact with Nigerians. Facebook in particular.
Sometimes a statement can mean different things, when you look at it in different contexts.

jarus, i want to talk to you

cou-gar:

that country is a joke. most time, i am ashamed to identify with a country that looks like there's no governance. the so called rams in power know nothing. they lauded obasanjo too for bringing mobile phones to nigeria. something other west african countries had been enjoying eons before nigeria embraced it. nigeria has to be the most useless country on the planet.

I don't think you are a Nigerian or you would'nt be calling a nation that has the most intelligent breed of blacks you can think of useless. Maybe you don't know that it takes positive and negative energy to move the world. Our positive force is silently coming up. Next time you want to see an epitome of uselessness, look in the mirror.

There's no excusing this statement especially from an Information Minister.

look in the mirror and see your face? you are a big fool. the country is useless. i was watching nta some few minutes ago and i saw your first lady disgracing herself in a children's party event. in the party were sons/daughters of the rich with half of them asians, caucasians, etc. is there really a govt in nigeria ruling or a posse of weak-minded individuals like yourself pretending to be rulers? ask yourself and stop looking into a mirror to test the stupidity in you. if you have functioning nostrils, your stupidity smells from afar.

Guys stop bashing . . . .I said we just wanna concenterate on this so called Minister!

You are being extremely nice with that spin and I'm confident you know it;

which begs the question: why do we have a mumu that can't communicate effectively as an information minister when we have Nigerians like you?

roflmao!!!

we have all agreed the minister is a ninny. one thing about men like them is their uncanny ability to lick arses to stay in their jobs(even at the expense of their logic process and educational qualifications).

What can we do o jare
I can't be feeling bad because of one minister that didn't choose his words well. At least he said it in grammatically correct English. That's got to count for something

Atiku suppose revenge by opening a Twitter account

Very correct.

Fact is, no politician made any sort of impact on facebook before GEJ. His impact was felt Worldwide and is known to be the first time an African politician took his belief in democracy to the web. Through GEJ, social networking has become a democratic tool in Africa; he actively reaches out to the small and the mighty.
It is worth the praise the Minister gave.

Charlie, stop spreading low self esteem all over NL. GEJ brought facebook to Nigerian politics and by extension, to Nigeria.
You have called Nigeria "useless" so many times that I can see where you are coming from; we need our youth to be self confident, not self self-deprecating and lacking in esteem. There is a country to be built.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that statement. Only simpletons will take such a statement literally at face value. Politicians often use hyperbole, and speak in superlatives - especially when eulogizing their principal or acclaiming their perceived achievements. The fact that GEJ is the first president in Nigeria, nay Africa, to elevate facebook to not even merely a campaign tool, but an instrument of state policy and presidential information dissemination means that He did 'bring' facebook to Nigeria, figuratively speaking. And it is commonsensical for a minister to want to describe his Commander-in-Chief's achievements in superlatives.

I wonder why people just enjoy unnecessary hair-splitting. Too much frustration perhaps. Although the vast majority just sheepishly echo others' views. . .all of which builds up such oafish hysteria over nothing.
