A woman you married and get successful, please always stick with her no matter her weakness.

Ten Kobo:

Yes she is right, all Nigerian politicians have Acquired Immoral Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). For once Dame Retaldo is spot-on.

The issue here is not whether English is our first language or not, it's about Coherence. For your information English is our national language a common denomintor through which Hausa, Yoruba and Ibo communicate outside the confines of tribal languages. The very essence of our being one Nigeria is the English language.

For someone holding the exhalted office of the First Lady of Nigeria it is expected that such a person should be able to communicate clearly and intelligently, which has not been the case with Mrs Jonathan.

What stops her from communicating through an interpreter if English is not a priority to her. As bad as the education system is in Nigeria i'm sure even you will be dissapointed in a graduate who cannot express him or herself coherently, much less the First Lady of the federation.

Go and check out the first ladies of Ghana and other African countries, English is also not their first language. Some do not possess a doctorate Like Mrs Jonathan but the understand the importance of proper communication as a national leader. This is totally unacceptable and a ridicule to our nation in the eyes of the world.

We need to stop making excuses for everything in Nigeria.

[size=14pt]Sincerely, I think she sounds philosophically correct. Now, let's analyze the statement[/size]

[size=14pt]Some are HIV +Ve, true
Some are HIV -Ve, true
Do we all have HIV? Yes! While some are +Ve, others are -Ve[/size]

[size=14pt]So, what's the problem?[/size]

DAY11.:

You wrong!

Torch1:

i think what she wanted to say is that [b]all of us have AIDS victims among us, only that some people are positive while others are negative.[/b] Though i might be wrong, but thats what i think.

yomz1e:

@Rill64 so what do you suggest we do? shoot her ? or sow her mouth up? or GEJ should banish her from any public speech? well its not the woman's fault for not being able to express herself in a manner thats pleasing to the watching nation. Maybe she might have some kind of speech deficiency which she herself doesnt even know!

abeg leave the woman alone! she has God's Favour on her? Go watch that movie King's Speech and even the story of Moses, these people had some kind of speech problem and yet still change the course of history in a positive way! so if her pigeon english helps someone out there ! big Gbosa to her!

DAY11.:

Good point.

I wonder what you guys gain from defending that woman.will you also help her correct this too ?
My husband and sambo is a good people.

Nothing to gain defending her, just noted that this sounds a bit philosophical compared to her earlier outright "bombs".

I won't even attempt comprehending what you have up there so I don't develop migraine

Funkymallam:

You people should pls free this woman, yes she have been releasing bombs more than boko haram but this one is right!

Wen u check your status, you are either positive or negative, so u are a victim until proven free.
In other words, if she just said 'we all have aids' without adding the two status, positive and negative, it would have been wrong. Mind u she went to see d victims in a home, she have to give them sense of belonging, if u watched it, she was hugging them. So, that statement 'we all have aids' was to encourage them.
Thnx

~Bluetooth:

The same way i develop migraine anytime this woman opens her mouth and yarn rubbish.Even in your so called philosophical analysis you tried hard to convince us that a normal person still have HIV- and if i may ask you,how is that possible when only a + carrier possesses the virus ? There is no such thing as a hiv- carrier !

+Ve carrier has the virus
-Ve carrier doesn't have the virus (ok, -ve carrier doesn't exist)
But both carriers and non-carriers have blood which is usually screened for the virus.
Since we all have blood, that means we all have HIV  While some of us are +Ve, others are -Ve but we all have HIV

_{Jeez!!! This is so hard to defend! I think I better withdraw my defence or may be just hope to get some marks for my attempt}

I recommend you just withdraw your defense cuz it's either you have hiv in your blood or NOT.there is no such thing as i have hiv but it's negative !

A bit of digression, assumming a woman is the President of Nigeria, are we going to have office of the 'First Gentleman-The President's Husband'?

duno:

HIV +ve  is not equal to AIDS

HIV -ve can never be AIDS

Therefore we DONT all have AIDS

The 2011 National and World AIDS Week, with emphasis on mothers and children without AIDS, Marie-Therese Abena Ondoa said, was an opportunity for women to take advantage and do their HIV tests. "For those who are HIV negative, I advise them to remain negative by taking preventive measures and for those who are positive, I encourage them to undergo other tests so they can receive treatment," she urged. "When you are on treatment, you can have children without HIV/AIDS and if there are newborn babies without HIV/AIDS, we can have a generation free of the pandemic," she explained.
