On behalf of the nation, I wish to extend my sincere condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the demonstrations. Their deaths will not be in vain. In the future, I hope we can find a way to do the right thing without losing the precious life of a single Nigerian.

If I read your message right, my government has not earned your trust. And without trust, we have no moral authority to demand sacrifices from you. More so when we, the government, have not made sacrifices ourselves. I have come to realize that more than everything else, the Nigerian people want accountability from their leaders. It is through the door of accountability that you will open for us the room where your trust resides. You all have taught me that only a foolish man will put his tomorrow in the hands of a man who cannot account for his yesterday.

The law demands that I declare my assets at the beginning of each term. I have not done so before now out of fear that Nigerians may not understand. But the Nigerians I saw in the last one week are people who want the truth more than they expect what is right. I want Nigerians to know that I am worth 50 billion Naira(?). since when Undecided My salary and allowances each year is about N320 million naira. That, my fellow Nigerians, is outrageous in a country where hundreds of millions of my fellow citizens live on less than N320 a day.

Nice speech, but actions speaks louder.

GEJ's Speech is becoming a National Anthem. What is he thinking? That people who lost their lives are fowls? make I catch am first

How i wish its a dream come 2ru, Dat means GEJ is rite back in his senses! Oh borbor Jona to Gud oh oh Jona to Wise oh!

Nigerians are really tough o! And I see why the Government would not even think to bat one eye when thinking to raise the price of fuel by almost 200% overnight. I mean imagine purchasing bread one day for N50, and the next morning, you go to get your morning staple, only to find out the price don hit N150, literally overnight.

NLC/TUC: President, the people are eagerly awaiting your speech now?


JONATHAN: Tell them to keep waiting until NEPA brings light, can you see that my Generator is empty of fuel?
 ,    ,   ,   ,   , That is what you get when you remove subsidy!

NLC/TUC: Bur Sir, we hope you will still credit our Bank Account as agreed? Agreement is Agreement Ooo!

JONATHAN: That too can wait as we cant do online/Cashless Banking as long as NEPA is not available!

NLC/TUC:  But Sir, we did not cause all this NEPA problem, why must we suffer for it?

JONATHAN: Dont blame me as well, BLAME IT ON THE CABAL?

NLC/TUC: But Sir, who or what is this CABAL you keep alluding to?

JONATHAN: Its an Evil, invisible Spirit that gives with the right hand and takes back, five times with the left!

NLC/TUC: Sir, can we have some names so that we can at least expose them to Nigerians?

JONATHAN: Have you forgotten you people called me Retardeen and Jona-dull? And you want names from me? Abeg o, l know-know BOOK!
(Saunters back inside to the warm and fat embrace of his DAME! )

DAME: Thank God my fellow Widows is back inside!

Lastpage!


BTW: @Sillibaba

JONATHAN DECLEAR IT (BIAFRA) so that this ofenmanus and abokis will remove their mind from our oil.

South-South, Bayelsa, Ijaw, Itshekiri e.t.c was never a part of Biafra nor IGBO KINGDOM nor any Jew lineage!
Okay, we have Crude Oil and we are suddenly now YOUR RELATIVES?  Hmmmm ,   , Another "internal colonization"?

Dear Compatriots,
1.    This is the second time in two weeks I will address you on the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector. In the last seven days, the nation has witnessed a disruption of economic activities.  Although, the economic imperatives for the policy have been well articulated by government, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) went ahead to declare a nationwide strike.
 
2.    There was also near-breakdown of law and order in certain parts of the country as a result of the activities of some persons or groups of persons who took advantage of the situation to further their narrow interests by engaging in acts of intimidation, harassment and outright subversion of the Nigerian state. I express my sympathy to those who were adversely affected by the protests.
3.    At the inception of the deregulation policy, Government had set up the Justice Alfa Belgore Committee to liaise with Labour and other stakeholders to address likely grey areas in the policy, but despite all our efforts, Labour refused the option of dialogue and also disobeyed a restraining order of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
 
4.    However, following the intervention of the Leadership of the National Assembly, and other well-meaning Nigerians, Labour accepted to meet with government, but this yielded no tangible result.
 
 
5.    It has become clear to government and all well-meaning Nigerians that other interests beyond the implementation of the deregulation policy have hijacked the protest. This has prevented an objective assessment and consideration of all the contending issues for which dialogue was initiated by government. These same interests seek to promote discord, anarchy, and insecurity to the detriment of public peace.
 
6.    Government appreciates that the implementation of the deregulation policy would cause initial hardships and commends Nigerians who have put forth suggestions and credible alternatives in this regard. Government also salutes Nigerians who by and large, conducted themselves peacefully while expressing their grievances. Let me assure you that government will continue to respect the people's right to express themselves within the confines of the law and in accordance with the dictates of our democratic space.
 
7.    Government will continue to pursue full deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector. However, given the hardships being suffered by Nigerians, and after due consideration and consultations with state governors and the leadership of the National Assembly, government has approved the reduction of the pump price of petrol to N97 per litre. The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) has been directed to ensure compliance with this new pump price.
 
8.    Government is working hard to reduce recurrent expenditure in line with current realities and to cut down on the cost of governance. In the meantime, government has commenced the implementation of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment projects: including the Federal Government- assisted mass transit programme which is already in place, and job creation for the youth. 
 
9.     Furthermore, the legal and regulatory regime for the petroleum industry will be reviewed to address accountability issues and current lapses in the Industry. In this regard, the Petroleum Industry Bill will be given accelerated attention. The report of the forensic audit carried out on the NNPC is being studied with a view to implementing the recommendations and sanctioning proven acts of corruption in the industry.
 
10.                       Let me assure Nigerians that this administration is irrevocably committed to tackling corruption in the petroleum industry as well as other sectors of the economy. Consequently, all those found to have contributed one way or the other to the economic adversity of the country will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
 
11.                       My dear compatriots, I urge you to show understanding for the imperatives of the adjustment in the pump price of petrol and give government your full support to ensure its successful implementation. I further appeal to Nigerians to go back to work and go about their normal duties as government has made adequate arrangements for the protection of life and property throughout the federation.
 
12.                       Government will not condone brazen acts of criminality and subversion. As President, I have sworn to uphold the unity, peace and order of the Nigerian State and by the grace of God, I intend to fully and effectively discharge that responsibility.  Let me add that we are desirous of further engagements with Labour. I urge our Labour leaders to call off their strike, and go back to work.
 
13.                       Nigeria belongs to all of us and we must collectively safeguard its unity.
 
14.                       Thank you. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Dear Compatriots,
1.    This is the second time in two weeks I will address you on the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector.
