Well, the interview is definitely a good watch. GMB answered most questions very well but he somehow went off-point on some of the questions asked especially at the part 2.

If i'm to grade, I will grade him a B for this.

But he has shown that he has the intellect to provide a purposeful leadership for the country in the right direction. I'm so happy in the choice of his VP. He will complement him thoroughly.

Compare with Jonathan's own Ebony life interview. He will use technology to stop corruption. Even a student in first year of ICT courses knows that technology does not stop anything, processes do, technology is just an enablement. Jonathan also was overdoing the pitch to the youths thinking that we don't know that applicants were killed by immigration, kept them at home for five months playing tough guy with ASUU and all political Godfathers controlling him are in their 80s and Boko Haram is essentially youth driven. So a government that does not give a shit for youth

Eluwilussit:
Guy, you are too much. Too much sense dey worry u. Tell them o. I don't know why they all ganged up on jonathan. God help us with these idiots everywhere.

Unfortunately the North is so dumb to think that Buhari's personal ambitions are synonymous with the North. Any smart northern politician should work with Jona and wait till 2019. Then the young and vibrant men and women can come out and we will chose. Just like we did for the west. I no be Niger Delta or pdp. I am only interested in stopping a Coupist and senile, semi-illiterate grandpa from deceiving his grandchildren.

Please don't cast Jonathan in the garb of a great leader. Buhari's strongest supporters are in the SW and SS. Please how is that for smartness that the so called sophisticated south had fewer people showing interest in the Presidency? The north is more intelligent than you and actually had five presidential candidates showing interest in the presidency in the two serious political parties. The South only had one Good luck Jonathan so when tribalism has finished playing with your mind maybe you will reason properly.

So let me give you some education.
Jonathan is not important. He is only one person but there are 170million Nigerians. We have seen him speak and act so I am sure at least 60% of these 170million Nigerians would make better presidents than Jonathan and you know that as well if your IQ is at least average.
So it sas all about luck and what God has planned for every person. God has done his bit but Jonathan has messed up his own opportunity and now Nigerians are well within rights to boot him out. Jonathan is not important at all. I walked past a nursery school today and saw little kids with school bags and lunch boxes looking at life with trust and hope, depending on us to make the right choices for their futures. No my friend Jonathan is not important, he has gotten his chance, tried with railways and agric, stolen a lot of money but he has to go. It is very simple. Those nursery school kids have to live and thrive and they are depending on is.

The northerners dont owe Jonathan anything, dont like him and don't want him. Pure and simple. Any asking about whys and wherefores is just unnecessary vexation of spirit. They are not going to vote for him. And they should not be expected to like him, unemployment is 80% amongst youths, Boko Haram is killing their kids and recruiting the remaining and it is getting alarming. The northerners accuse Jona of sponsoring Boko Haram or at least being weak on it as an ethnic cleansing program. Please tell me as an intelligent being who understands people different from his own culture why they should support their enemy.

You are being parochial and locally minded in your post and maybe it is the same glasses that the under exposed Jonathan has been looking at Nigeria with. That is why he would be handing over to his opponent soon.

cegxie:
Abge make this country divide sef make everybody answer his fathers name. If we cannot stay together as one indivisible entity may be we should stay apart. USSR did it. Sudan did it. Germany did it. Nigeria should do it. What is all this rubbish sef.

I have watched the advert videos and they are unacceptable. They are painting the man as a mass murderer and demagogue which is not TRUE l. If elections are rigged again it will lead to violence with or without Buhari's prompting and you cannot use army to suppress the people they are the ones who will run.

Buhari for President. If we lose this guy we are screwed. The only Nigerians who are like him are far from positions of power, the Nigerians who are in positions of power are not like him. They think it is a game your destiny and your children's destiny and they are their clique have satans hold on your life. A Nigerian kid cannot stand to talk in an international forum with kids from advanced countries because too many things are already stacked up against him in education, health and so on.

Please stop this rubbish about stupid oil wells. The people voting out Jonathan do not have oil wells or enjoy oil money.

A lot of politicians belong in prison and they are using Jonathan the clueless. Destroying this democracy will be the one they do that destroys them all.

Sharon6:
Good old days. When 1naira was equal to 1dollar. Now we all know the rest.







GET RID OF STRETCH MARKS!!! CHECK MY SIGNATURE!!!

1Naira was not 1dollar here my friend.
I am worried about our level of education and exposure in this country. Too many half educated people. That is why ordinary trains are shakking people now. This period in our history we were using POUNDS and SHILLINGS and the dollar was very weak compared with Nigerian currency. Naira came with Gowon and it was very strong compared with the dollar, 1 dollar was actually 50 Kobo, later became 55 Kobo.

temitemi1:
These apc lawbreakers no get sense oooo! Maybe they have forgotten that he who hires can also fired ... He who pays the piper dictate the tunes ... GEJ till 2019!!!

Who hired Jega?. Please get some education. The President is not an emperor and if he wants to be,, Shekau has abused him many times on YouTube that is where his powers should be directed.

This one the perpetrators wont go free. No living together happily ever after and no shedding of poor people's innocent blood. The blood that would be shed would be the planners and doers of the annulment.

jars9:
I LOVE MY PRESIDENT I KNOW THE PATH OF CONFROTATION WOULD NOT DO ANYONE GOOD BUT HAVING FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING IN THE SYSTEM AND KNOWING CHANGE IS A GRADUAL PROCESS .

This is my problem with your generation. The most de radicalixed young people are in Nigeria now especially in the south. It is as if PDP is using jazz on you people. Imagine a guy below 50 saying Change is a gradual process. It is almost a crime for a young man to be saying such things. Meanwhile Arab youths are changing govts at will and Greek youths are resisting loan sharking from Germany.
Good talk so that Jona and his clique can finish chopping what they started out of your future.

Kennywills7:
Calling ur president a useless man does not make u any better, however when pointing a finger remember d rest are pointing back at u
be careful of wot u say online

What kind of a man will you call a coward who has Chad invading Nigeria looking for Boko Haram while soldiers are harassing opposition politicians. Even if you want to harass which is bad enough can't the police do this job or SSS?
In the north east, very few soldiers will do this job anyway. Even you can clear those soldiers by driving a vehicle at high speed towards them, they will shoot at you clear away from the place and won't come back tomorrow.
Any way the man is not a useless man but a VERY USELESS man.

jayfolarin:
The fact he is doing this doesn't make him anything more than clueless! As a matter of fact, he has now descended into outright foolishness. His jail term will be soo long, none of his pastors prayers would be able to save him then!

Jonathan is no more clueless he has graduated to full stupidity. Using the Nigerian Army to harass opponents while Chad Army is fighting Boko Haram for you?...this man is a real bloody civilian. He will lose control of the army soon. There has already been about six mutinies, soldiers have shot at generals and complete brigades have retreated for 400 Boko Haram soldiers. No I am sure of it now, this president will mess himself up ...badly.

adrainuche:
My people see Our fellow Nigerians dey are giving their ultimate price for this s.hit hole of a nation we call Nigeria, where those who are in power don't want to leave neither do they want to improve the nation..
H
Our previous leaders want to refurbish them self and sell himself to us like as if he's a new commodity with a slogan called "CHANGE "

The clueless one who cannot even be a manager in the Zoo is ruling a nation I hope he doesn't think we are animals


Bottom point APC and PDP na the same thing just different Gang Name..

See these fine men, all because of political and religious holla ballu they have lost their life, and yet some people would be arguing in the politics section for people who can't even debate between themselves Shouting "CHANGE" like conductors..

RIP fallen heroes see the soldier and he wife and pikin God ... I weep !!! my heart bleeds for this nation ..

We Shall Overcome

CHANGE is important because if we had the right leader we would not be fighting this war now. This war would have been over three years ago. We have a complete id**t in government, a careless, self absorbed nonentity costing us young lives. You see that little baby the wife is carrying, Jonathan has a debt of $69bn waiting for her generation to pay. So they have killed the Dad and impoverished her even before she has a voice. So we shall shout CHANGE and actualize it in March. Maybe a lot of you will finally see what government is all about. Right now you don't know.

This is something Nigerians never ever complain about. We even encourage it to and that isb why corruption is bad to Nigeria. If we permit all presidents and governors to develop their hometowns to whatever level they desire, why do they still steal from our children?. I have not seen a comment like ''this is not fair'' here yet. So why have they been stealling so much from us?.

Bad luck Ebola AzzKissWay Jonathan.

He is going to trip himself again. The guy cannot talk to save his own life and is well known even internationally as a dunce. Expect something worse than ''how much did Nwobodo stole?".

Mutumdaya:
It is gowon,he killed more than 3million future leaders in his so called civil war

Ojukwu killed these people not Gowon. IBB and Jonathan are the two most corrupt presidents. The first IBB because he is naturally corrupt the second Jonathan because he is weak and cannot control anybody.

SeverusSnape:
We ain't blind. We just don't see a better option.
GeJ is still the best option for Nigeria.

Tribalism has killed you. Jonathan's is the worst government in history. At 220 to the dollar you will soon lose your job, if you are a business man they have wrecked your business. There is also $69bn debt on the head of your children. Last month PDP government wasted $1bn of foreign exchange to bring in Rice from Thailand for elections. Imported rice is now N8000 cheaper than local rice so all rice farmers and rice mills established with billions are grinding to a halt. This govt was stealing 400000barrels of oil a day in dollars and the western world knows where they have hidden the money.

Why I am happy that you are using yoir mouth to say that Jonathan is the best option is that in the remote possibility that he stays in government, he will actually ruin you and your family and still you will blame it on northern elders, islam, boko haram, tinubu, amaechi, buhari, northern youths, America, Europe, the west and every other thing under the sun and you will still believe it because some people must eat other people to thrive and you including your family are FOOD for those people..

nke001:
Haba, I though jeg is clueless and cant hurt a fly?


Army spokesperson knows better why the army are in lagos.

Oh yes he is very clueless. Who is really in charge of the army, you think it is Minimah? This is an army running away from Boko Haram, an army where soldiers nearly killed their GOC. Jonathan is going down a road that is not good and he knows it.

Day169:
You know what they say about empty barrels? ..but seriously, Mr Maku is just like the Prodigal Son! Now he's squeeling (like the quitessencial Minister of information) because his calculations have not gone as planned. Just wait n see what becomes of him after his lifelines are exhausted! ..he'll return to his vomit!! ..Laughs!!!

Why are you taking this lightly?. Don't you see that judgment is coming against the PDP and Jonathan soon?. This is a very serious accusation. I once watched a 19year old girl burning slowly and crying in pains at Inyanaya as the life gradually left her body after bombing by Boko Haram. Now you are sort of sanctioning that because the man doing it or who should be preventing wears a bowler hat and his name is in the bible.

My advice to young people following PDP is to be very careful so that they share in the punishment meant for this generation of politicians. If you are supporting them because you hate the north then channel your support to APGA, KOWA and other parties. The centre is going to burn soon and it won't matter who wins. Jonathan is evil, corrupt, weak, cowardly, wicked and very undeserving of that post. It does not matter if you think otherwise or will still vote for hum anyway..he is going down painfully and he is not worth investing any hope or positive expectation on.

Please stop stupid speculations. The arrest of Buhari by Gwadabe, Dasuki and others was probably the mist respectful arrest in the history of Nigeria. Yes Abacha removed Dasuki' s father as Sultan of Sokoto and Buhari was later quite close to Abacha.
I think NSA is actually the man running the country now but he is just a tool in the hands of retired generals IBB, Abdusalami and OBJ. He is getting very vocal, powerful based on clear vision of where they want country to be and in one broad stroke has wielded influence on the conduct of the elections. The men who gain from all these as I said before are the retired generals and the NSA himself.

vandutchboy:
The two major political parties in the March 28 presidential election, the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress, besieged the venue of the 11th Delegate Conference of the Nigeria Labour Congress for votes in Abuja on Monday.
The presidential candidate of the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari; the President of Senate, Dr. Pius Anyim, who represented the President at the event; the Governor of Edo State, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole; and the Supervising Minister of Labour and Productivity, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki (SAN) were the key political figures from the two political parties, who exploited the opportunity of the delegate conference to canvass for votes for their parties.
The 11 delegates’ conference has as theme, ‘The working class and the challenges of national security, unity and democratic development’.
Buhari said security agencies in the country had not been able to tame the Boko Haram challenge despite that the Federal Government had spent$32.88bn on defence in the past five years.
He said the Boko Haram Islamic sect snowballed into a national menace after the August 2011 attack on the United Nations Building in Abuja, which resulted in the death of 26 persons with 60 others injured.
The APC candidate added that there was the need for change politically because the nation’s security situation had become precarious.
The ex-Head of State said, “In August 2011, a vehicle smashed through two security barriers at the United Nations headquarters in Abuja just after 11am. Its driver crashed the car into the reception area of the building which housed 26 different UN agencies, and then detonated a bomb. Twenty-five people were killed; around 60, wounded. The then little-known extremist group, Boko Haram, claimed responsibility for the gruesome attack.
“Since then, Boko Haram has gained international notoriety and become a major national menace – kidnapping girls from their schools and women from their homes; slaughtering boys in their dormitories and men in their farms; exploding bombs in public and private venues; and taking town after towns in the North-East of Nigeria.
“And, for some reasons, our defence forces are unable to cope and unable to defend despite the Federal Government’s defence budget that has gulped over$32.88bn in the past five years.
“Our security situation in this country has never been so dire. Today, Nigerians have to endure, not just terrorist attacks in the North, but militancy in the Niger Delta, communal violence in the Middle Belt, cult wars in the South, and kidnappings, armed robberies, and common acts of thuggery throughout the country.
However, Anyim, who represented the President, said he was under instruction not to make political statements at the conference because of the sensitive nature of the audience.
He said the President was of the opinion that the audience comprised workers from federal and state governments, who could feature as ad hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission in the forthcoming elections.
He gave the assurance that the Boko Haram insurgency, which had been agitating the minds of Nigerians, would soon be brought under control.
Anyim also conveyed the assurance of the President to the NLC delegates that the forthcoming elections would be better than the 2011 polls.
Speaking also on the state of the economy, Anyim, who declared the conference open on behalf of the President, noted that he Federal Government was focussing attention on the creation of business that could generate employment opportunities for Nigerians.
In his comments, the Governor of Edo State, Oshiomhole, a former President of the NLC, who spoke earlier, condemned the continued importation of refined petroleum products into the country.
He said it was shameful that the nation’s refineries, established by the military and were functional then, were not working in a democracy.
He urged workers in the oil sector to look beyond their plum jobs to insist that the crude oil resources were refined in the nation’s refineries

[size=18pt]Can you see what corruption is doing to our country,We have 300,000 soldiers and still cant defeat Boko Haram with all the money spent on defence which has mostly been embezzled. We now have to rely on CHAD,NIGER to fight Boko-haram for us,Goodlcuk Jonathan must go and be arrested for this corruption.[/size]

Jona has trend the generals into menstruating women with all the money he has used to corrupt them. Nigeria does not even have an air force now as we speak. This man will be voted out in six weeks time we cannot afford four more years of a weak corrupt and clueless man.

Ok we have heard. GEJ is not clueless. Now please close this clueless thread.

Chukwu94:
Even his own people are against him..
Buhari till otueke people accept their son, jonathan.

Patience had her crowd at the rally and they were booing the governor not Jonathan. I don't think they were booing Jonathan specifically, they only booed when he mentioned the governor's name. Now on the street in Yenagoa they don't really like Jonathan but they will vote for him massively as they really have no choice. All Patience Jonathan's people may have a hard time though. What we are seeing in Yenagoa is that one of the five President' s of Nigeria Patience Jonathan has been building her own political machinery independent of her husband who is another President of Nigeria and she is also trying to push a sitting governor around in his own state. I have said it many times and I still maintain it that most supporters of Jonathan are challenged in terms of IQ. No normal thinking person who does not have a mental problem will support this man.

They will impeach this dumb nonentity of a president. There is enough time to do it and nobody has anything to lose. In fact the rank and file of the PDP have an easier ride especially in the north where they are currently afraid to even mention his name in campaigns. If Buahri wants an impeachment of the Dr Clueless now he will achieve it within ne week. This is the weakest government since Shonekan.

mkpakanaodogwu:
Dont mind them.GEJ da Boss

GEJ is clueless. What he is doing postponing elections will lead to Interim National Government, his popularity will become worse in six weeks and he might be too afraid to face disgrace election. All the north will be against him next week and more parts of the SW will join the March4Buahri train. Obasanjo predicted that ING will happen about three months ago because he has everybody's profile. The zoologist is a fool. They are shopping a replacement for him as we soeak. Okupe and Abaiti are Obj children. FFK knows where he actually comes from. So cluelessness is cluelessness, the only problem with ING is what to do with the very powerful Muhammadu Buhari. Once that is worked out removing GEJ is like removing jigger, easy and very very painful.

saintandsinnerz:
Why do yorubas hate gej so much? Almost all the yorubas I know hate gej and when you ask them why, some will say he marginalized the yorubas, some will say he is corrupt! While Some are just buying into the gej-hate bandwagon just for d sake of it. No tangible reason!

I am Yoruba and hate GEJ as well. We can see through fakery, we don't like dumb people and we have listened to too much rags to riches, grass to grace and underdog stories to have sympathy for this poo. For most Ibos, they can't stand the man's weaknesses as well but they can use him against the north (whom they have perpetual inferiority complex and fear of. The Niger Delta is the most interesting, they know him, don't like him much and dont respect him as all but he is their son so they will back him. The worst insults and most degrading stories about Jonathan are actually told on the streets of Yenagoa, you can check it if you are interested, I think that is instructive about the kind of person he is.

samilo88:
What's so special about Feb 14th. If you are so confident of victory, why not wait for 6 weeks after all the hand over date wasn't changed.
They know that buhari's image is like a swine, no matter how u try to make a swine clean, it would still go back to its dirty state. Six weeks is too much a time, buhari's image and popularity will fizzle out and many undecided voters would rather stick to the devil they know. I thought they said GEJ was clueless. We now know who the dumbos of politics are.

Jonathan is an inferior whose image has already taken a dent. He is being insulted daily locally and internationally and cant win any elections. It his government handling the war in the north east that has caused the problem we are taking about. Prepare for more insults and disgrace on twitter and other media. NNPC files are with APC and a lot will be released. The little northern support for Jonathan has already disappeared and I am telling you Dr Clueless will not be able to face elections. The NSA is the most powerful. man now but how to handle Buhari is critical for Interim National Government ...as for this A level zooligy teacher. he is finished.

MyPWisINCORRECT:
All Buhari needed in the 80s was an Idiagbon...

Fastforward to 2015, he has an Amaechi mouthpiece gingering parallel government, occupying the streets, etc.
To this end,
Buhari + Amaechi + Ever Willing Almajiri Youth = Nigeria Implodes
This is because, all that is needed to spark violence in the north and in Nigeria at large is a sustained propaganda from Buhari and Amaechi.

Your IQ is low. Jonathan just destroyed Nigeria's democracy by postponing. elections. What you should be doing is saving money and stockpiling food. God wants to deliver the last punishment to you guys.

Iyanusele:
I thought they are Change agents
Why are they afraid of Change

Bunch of frustrated people!!!

GEJ till 2019

Your idiot president is putting elections on hold to allow Chadian army and its courageous generals to do in six weeks what his weak cowardly generals who are all billinaires could not do in sux years. This is obviously a joke and will attract another round of ridicule and insults to these most inferior of presidents that Nigeria has ever had. What APC decides nobody knows but I suspect Jonathan has no courage to face elections and is actually hoping for a constitutional crisis so that Obj 's ING becomes the solution.
