homerac7: Kobo, why u dey laff nah?
Maybe u r thinking what I'm thinking

homerac7: @edicolove,

Thanks for giving us all another view on same matter. Personally, I welcome it and can't agree more with your half-fill-half-empty analogy. Afterall its only opinion and diversity of it shows we r thinking.

I won't debate ur opinion with u, ...no I won't. You hav a right to it, so I will respect that.

Yet, I will make aversion to your last sentence where you were unwise to label me a "hater" and "BH supporter", its very very unwise to say that to people who see issues differently from you and more foooolish to label them what u can't substantiate.

Please follow the language of earlier posters and learn some things about being civil, cultured and cultivated.

Peace be unto you.

@homerac7, have you ever heard of the half full, half empty principle. Its about a mindset and how your mind processes information. You read a report and suddenly started scavenging for negative phrases you could use to feed your skepticism and lack of hope. And nature doesn't ever disappoint, you got your fill.

So let me give you a different perspective and deducion based on a different mindset from the same report:

1. That GEJ really cares about moving Nigeria forward. That is why he called for investors and he is willing to take an action to convince the investors. That is competence.

2. That he reviewed Azazi's performance, found it wanting and didn't consider sentiments over reason in sacking him. That is competence. He could have left him on.

3. That he is willing to try out other methods in fighting terrorism. He is ready to take risks. That is competence.

4. That he didn't go to brazil to junket afterall as insinuated by many.

5. That the man actually listens to advise from good and well meaning people.

6. That he didn't sack Azazi because of his PDP statement. That means the president is not interested in playing politics with Nigerian issues

So there it is. A different mindset. A half full mindset from a BH opposer unlike that from a GEJ hater and BH supporter. Cheers

@Kobojunkie

I thought you were more intelligent than this. My bad, I gave you too much credit. Lol

Half empty is bad. Half full is good and healthy. Half empty is cynicism. It can lead to bad health like ulcer and worse. Life is about perspective. Criticism is a lazy choice. The world needs people to make impact not sit on an armchair and type criticism on an internet forum. You can start by helping your street or LGA. I wonder what sounded funny in my post. I guess you are just grandstanding again. Its your way of saying you are clueless I guess.

@edicolove,
@ your no 5, joe listens to advise from good and well meaning ppl. who are the good and well meaning ppl?
when you talk about moving nigeria forward, in ur opinion, is it possible in the presence of all these corruption all over the place?
talking about azazi's pdp comment, what about the pdp chairman's comment in which he said that boko haram is fighting for justice?
jonathan has his wife and two children, what if three of them are involved in these boko haram attacks? will he still apply the same approach?
1st oct bombing in abuja when Chief Raymond Dokpesi was campaigning for IBB, jonathan arrested him(Dokpesi) and told us that dokpesi was behind the bombing but with one month, we saw dokpesi in jonathan's camp and nothing was heard of the bombing again. was that not enough politics with the lives of nigerians?
if you take a closer look at those jonathan is ruling us with, u will know that they don't worth it.
reuben abati wrote a book only in 2009 condemning the removal of fuel subsidy only to support it because he is now working for jonathan. labrown maku led a protest against removal of fuel subsidy in 1986 as a students' leader only to champion the course as an information minister and when ask, he said he was sponsored. these ppl are not worthy to be leaders. tomorrow buy them over and they will start a new thread. the inability to appoint worthy men and women into ur cabinet is another form of incompetency.

“President Jonathan was told to be more decisive in tackling the insecurity challenge if he was serious about the FDI drive of his administration”, one source told Sunday Vanguard.

Kobojunkie:

If true, this is a shame. He had to go all the way to Brazil to realize to be told that his house was on fire?

Thanks jare, I too was appalled by some people's response. Any reasonable person should know that people dying like cockroaches every other day is not a sufficient enough reason for the President to review the country's state of security or lack thereof. . .No siree bob! Now the possibility of foreign investment pouring into the country. . . well that's a mighty good reason and anyone who doesn't understand this is clearly a half empty glass viewing person(aren't they worst? Ughhh! Can't stand people like that).


Of course one could say. . .if the entire country blown to smithereens because of the buffet of bombings, who benefits from all the foreign investment but you know what. . .that's thinking too deeply about it, no? I think so too!!

Alls I gotta say is. . . thank goodness for the promise of foreign investment. This is the kinda stuff good history is made of and I won't be surprised if in the not so distant future, someone wrote a book - How Foreign Investment saved our lives.

Joey82: even though this sambo guy does not look like the best man for the job for now, i think the president may appoint general aliyu gusau as the new minister of defence.
imho, he is far nigeria's most accomplished security operative.
his wealth of experience will be needed at this time

werepeLeri: believe everything Nigerian newspapers prints and you will believe there are 14 months in a single year. Worst is- believe anything you read on NairaLand and you are done for. LOL.

Azazi is now a saint only when GEJ fired him. The same people shouting Azazi should be removed, these are the same people now touting him as a saint.

doofanc:

naturally, a news story deemed less than favorable to your principal would likely be of questionable veracity, no?.

uncleb: In nigeria, it is easy to loose office if you are appointed. Whether you are competent or not, just be out of favour wt the person who appointed you or pose as a hinderance to him achieving a goal, then u are on your way out. Come to think of it, why would GEJ wait for the international community to refuse bringing investment here before he realized he needed to stem the insurgence.people lives means nothing to him.

But am confused, how many imcompetent people have we eleceted to various positions, at LG levelN state and federal so what can we do to send them back to their fathers'housess.

How ccompetent si the presi, your govs, senators, reps etc. Or do they hav immunity over performance assessment.

Just thinking aloud.
