tessyade: No one is crying in that pics or could it be that my eye is deceiving me.

Jenams: the north has succeeded in runnin aground the govt of GEJ, i really feel for him,they promised to make d country ungovernable if he wins, and that is exactly wat they 've bn doin! they neva wanted him to rule naija at all. he is seen as a stranger in his own country by some silly demented almajiris wit cows brain. well, boko haram, FYI, nothing u do to we christians can make us bow to wateva god u serve! absolutely notin! we will continue to serve our God in heaven, because he is our God! a flamin fire, slow to anger but ruthless in anger. u hav challenged our God to a battle! so be ready to bomb the host of heavens, be ready to set heaven ablaze! if u succeed, then we will bow to ur god.

Merlintino: why do people take serious issue 4 granted. GEJ, wiping show d way he love nigeria and care 4 her much.what we all forget he is a father and president 2 nigeria. Wipin does nt entails he is weak or can any one prove me wrong. We all hv cried in one way or d othr wen we lose love ones. Respect him as u resect ur father . Support him nt attacking him. Tell me any president in d past who hv nt probed nigeria or embezzle nigeria money. Before u criticize think rationaly. Stop tribe issue 4 all 2 build a better nigeria.

smile4kenn: President Jonathan photographed wiping tears from his eyes at the site of the Dana plane crash today. He cried so much today that everyone began to console him. Take heart Mr. Presido. We know you love us all so much.

Fresh Air

aasog1: This really troubled me. Watching him weep like this.
GEJ, you need to be a man. Crying publicly doesnt mean you are less of a man. But you could still salvage things. You need courage, lots of it at this point.
You need to stop feeling like you dont deserve to be the president! You need to start acting like YOU CAN Be the Best President this country ever had.
Stop pointing fingers. Use the stones the oppositions are throwing you to build a monument....JESUS!!!! I feel like I should shake the president a bit
Fire all those political jobbers who are presently appointed on the basis of favoritism. Theyve stolen enough. And yes, we all know you employed those people because they campaigned and politiked for you during the past election.
Corruption is killing Nigerians, not witches and wizards! For crying outloud, who the hell is Bokoharam in any nation with a good security agency.
Everything is falling apart sir. You need to for crissakes: Man UP!!!!!!! Stop acting WEAK!!!!!

slyy: Can anybody confirm if he has ever cried at a bomb explosion site? mchewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

haka_nai:

Damn! you are stupid!!!! Na northern airline driven by a northern man or na only southerners die inside?So sad.The President is just expressing his grief and sadness at the incidence that took so many.All you see on hear is north to blame!!!I say you just can't help being Northern phobic.I advice you that it will certainly hurt you someday rather than help your sick person.

purplekayc: Sure he's really crying ? Or wiping his eyes from d effects of smoke 4om d site?

Kx: I cried when The Senate chariman on Aviation,Uzodinma,a lady House of Assembly member and one other person spoke after GEJ had finished his speech.

Is that the protocol?
Should the president speak first or last in an ideal society? And the president had to hand the mic to these other speakers and stood and watched and listened to them speak.

When ever Obama and other are making speech(es), the show ends the moment Obama drops the mic, why is the reverse the case here or is it in order

Gbawe:

Well said. To be honest, I think it is those defending GEJ blindly doing the President the greatest disservice. I often wonder about the world exposure, beyond Nigeria, of most Nairalanders. You don't need to have travelled the world but surely the information age should reveal what is going on elsewhere to all of us !!!!

In which Nation is a President allowed to weakly captitulate to one of the greatest headache of a nation via announcing that "leaner Government not possible" when bloated and profligate Governance is crippling his Country?

Where would it be possible for a President to openly admit supporters/sponsors of terrorists have infiltrated "every level" of his Government yet no one sees any effort to expose and deal with these animals helping to murder Nigerians with impunity?


Where do we see a Government genuinely keen on change and "transformation, in a very corrupt Nation, going to hire a very corrupt Attorney General of the Federation , with a mediocre career, when Nigeria is blessed with many outstanding legal Practitioners with excellent records?

Why will a serious Government , in a nation where the comatose condition of National refineries is a major headache, concede , for two years, the overhaul of those refineries into the hands of singularly the most hideously corrupt public agency in Nigeria i.e the NNPC? Is that not idi.ocy and a deliberate attempt to fail? I.e putting the Fox in charge of the Chickens?

We all saw the rioters who caused a national problem and international embarrassment for the UK quickly apprehended and jailed. Same should apply to fuel subsidy scammers who have done far worse than the UK rioters in my opinion with how they have seriously threatened the economic wellbeing of Nigerians. Yet an openly corrupt AGF, part of the scam himself, prevaricates shamelessly while supported by a complicit President !!!!!


The list of the ridiculous actions of GEJ that shows ,without doubt, his compromised leadership is very long and we would be here all day discussing such but I think folks get my gist.

To the extent GEJ is failing abysmally, the only option open to a politically sophisticated people who shun sentiments and partisanship is for us all to give him 'tough love' by speaking with a uniform voice in telling him he is failing and showing where he he is failing. Instead that cannot happen because we have many ethnic jingoist, paid sycophants and bigoted fools, thinking they are fighting the "Yarobus" and "almajiris" via supporting GEJ blindly, ready to shamelessly mitigate for every failure or wrongful action of the Presidency without a single thought for what obtains elsewhere that is birthing the progress others, previously similar to us, are now enjoying.


Let the sycophants, ethnic jingoists and sectionally biased supporters keep it up. They have a chance to help GEJ succeed and all they do, like the Abati's and Maku's of the world, is to 100% contribute to the inevitable failure of GEJ with how they tell him his robe is "stunning" and "beautiful" when Mr. President is stark naked in public. "Goodluck" to Nigeria. "Goodluck" to Nairalanders.
