APC=and d president cnt even come on tv 2 welcome nigerians into the hammartan,the government has failed!

So hilarious...In as much as I don't like this government u just made me laughed...hahahahahha

ayuse:
I am afraid we may not v d nigeria of our dream for a very long time except God in his mercy decides to dash us good leaders. As long as electing leadership is concern it may takes those who are well elightened a lot of work and time to elighting d average Nigerian what democratic leadership is all about. As at now an average Nigerian will elect their leaders for d very wrong reasons. 2011, I tried asking pple why they are going to vote our current president and I heard them say bc he his from d minority, he was once poor, he was persecuted by d cabals who didnt want him to take over from Yar'dua etc and I asked do you know his performance as a former Governor and almost all d pple I spoke with didnt care about his performance as a Governor, they didnt even want to access his performance as acting President. They claimed as an acting and substansive President he cant do anything bc he's not serving his own tenure and even today some foolish pple still say he cant take serious decision in his first tenure but that when he gets 2nd he will perform and I am like a man who couldnt do much in almost 6years how much will he do in another 4years. The truth is Nigerians deserve d leaders they get. The only hope Nigeria has is that d few enlightened Nigerians will work very very hard to enlighten d majority of Nigerians who v very very bad idea about leadership.

Same questioned I posted to some friends back then, all they were able to come up with was God has chosen him.. I was weak and surprise that at stage we are not looking at the antecedent of the person instead we are using religion as the yardstick to vote for him..If u want a man of God, din't pastor Chris contest?, why din't people vote for him as a man of God shud be able to do things right..A friend of mine I convince regarding jonthan's antecedent was now thanking me for convincing him after seeing the way country is presently

noblezone:
You simply do not understand the meaning of a context!

there is no argument about the fact that stealing is an aspect of corruption.

The point is this:

We are seven in my family! We are saddled with the responsibility of keeping money for the community.
One of then took some money on his capacity! He stole and is guilty, but you wont say my family is corrupt because one of us stole.

The family is corrupt when every one of us to collude. It is not just stealing anymore. It is a system and culture of stealing.
Saying a government is corrupt when an individual stole is like calling my a family of thieves because I stole.

There was a context Mr. President spoke on.
He was saying, because an individual in my government stole, does not mean my government is corrupt.

He was neither defending stealing nor defending corruption.

Now, whether he is stealing or his government is corrupt is another ball game altogether.
This thing is very simple to understand but it seems some of you are already blinded with sentiments.

This ur perception will only apply if only one of the family member stole, one can not call the family a thief but if more than one person steals in that same family, they will be tag as family of thieves..In this case one can say Stealing and corruption are the same with different interpretation.

Nawa ooo...Playing the victim all the time.. They are making it sound like opposition controls the Sss, airforce, police, nscdc, army, news house, cnn, bbc, etc.. Who have they not blame for the problem of nigeria? instead of focus on how to make it better they are accusing the opposition of trying to kill the president without any intel regarding such..Pls u guys shud desist for abusing an elderly man irrespective of what he said, we shud all just tackle his statement and leave his personality

D9ty7:
The bolded actually got to me. The opposition are always criticising the current government at every given opportunity, its like nothing good is coming out of the Jonathan led administration. And the presidency is always quick to reply them and thereby causing enemity within the two partie who are front runners in the upcoming election.
In the US, the Deomocrats and the Republican work hand-in-hand while in Ngeria it is the otherwise.
I see APC as being desperate, they criticises Jonathan government at every given opportunity, why not show your desperation to take over the government, support him and achieve collective success.
I am left to wonder why people like Buhari, OBJ are attacking Jonathan's government and Jonathan is hitting back. We all know his government is not giving us what we expected but all the same, he can only get better. Buhari is an elder, his advises should be Jonathan's driving force, but rather than fight for the betterment of the country as a whole, they are selfishly interested in attaining power too.
Anyways, Baba Clark, well said but in a careless manner.

So what you are saying in a nut shell is that there shud be no opposition?. You can't criticise a sitting president even if he does things the wrong way because we are running a unified government?. I think most of the criticism he has received he paved way for it. Let me list a few. 1. Few hours after the bombing at the eagle square on october first without any investigation he came out to deny Mend involvement in it only for Mend to claim the bombing. 2.There was a bomb blast in kano, the next day he was dancing at a campaign rally. 3. Stealing is not corruption, just to mention a few. I can go on and on but believe me he paved way for such criticism..I will continue to say it he became a president when he was not ready for it considering the enormous task of ruling this country.

It depends on the cartoon.. Nt like she will be watching Teletubbies. Some cartoons have really nice storylines

So true..I love kung fu Panda because of the humor in it..

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday
told senators behind the Jonathan-Must-Go
impeachment project that there were issues of
national importance that needed their attention
rather than the plot against him.
Jonathan’s advice was contained in a reaction by
his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr.
Doyin Okupe, who fired back at the senators
said to be compiling signatures and impeachable
offences against the President.
“It is our view that there are at present, serious
fundamental issues of national importance such
as winning the war against terrorism and
stabilising the economy in the face of dwindling
oil revenue which require the full attention,
commitment and swift action of distinguished
members of the Senate,” Okupe said.
Arrowheads of the impeachment plot against
Jonathan in the Senate on Tuesday told
journalists in Abuja that 65 senators had already
signed to remove the President and that they
would formally present a request to commence
the impeachment proceedings on December 16.
The senators said they would have tabled their
request this week but for the adjournment in the
Senate. The upper federal legislative chamber
had suspended plenary till December 16 for
members to participate in the ongoing primaries
of the parties.
Okupe’s full statement read, “The Senate in the
last four years has conducted its legislative
functions and responded to issues that are of
great national importance with commendable
political sagacity.
“In this same period, the Senate has functioned
as a stabilising force within the polity employing
much political maturity that is required to guide
and protect our nascent democracy.
“However, confrontation and strong
disagreements are not uncommon phenomenon
in Executive-Legislative relationship world-wide.
“The recent purported attempt by some senators
to prepare impeachable offences against the
President, as reported in some section of the
media, is seen by us in this light.
“We strongly trust and believe in the leadership
of the present Senate and the unwavering
patriotism and commitment that have been
shown by the distinguished members and we
trust that ultimately it is this tendency towards
true nationalism that will prevail in the Senate.
“It is our view that there are at present, serious
fundamental issues of national importance such
as winning the war against terrorism and
stabilising the economy in the face of dwindling
oil revenue which require the full attention,
commitment and swift action of distinguished
members of the Senate.
“We are of the opinion that all matters political
can and will be resolved politically in the overall
interest of our democracy and the wellbeing of
our people.”
One of the arrowheads of the impeachment
move in the Senate, Senator Alkali Jajere, had
told journalists on Tuesday that there was no
going back on the project.
He had said, “As of today, the required
signatures to initiate the impeachment process
had been obtained. The Senate has adjourned to
December 16, so by that date the impeachment
motion will be presented on the floor of the
Senate.
“As of last week, 63 of us had signed up for the
impeachment; my signature was the fourth but I
can confirm to you that we have 63 signatures
but after the session today two people had
called and told me that they want to sign.
“One of them is an All Progressives Congress
senator who was away doing campaign because
he is contesting the governorship election of his
state. The other person is a Peoples Democratic
Party senator.
“Before the end of today I can assure you that
the list will swell up to 70. It is on the
impeachment day that we need two-thirds of the
members to carry out the exercise but we need
only one-third, which we already have, to initiate
the process. It is just a matter of one day sitting.
We will just push it before the two chambers.”
Jajere said he signed the impeachment motion
because of his conviction that there were
impeachable offences against Jonathan and that
the process had been started early in the year
but was truncated.

Where are the Mod na?..This is too much from u guys oo...Pendy97 calm down, Shizzlestar calm down...This has gone too far!..Thought we are here to learn and educate each other. I think u guys will have to learn to tolerate each other

qtx:
Simple! the issue is that other bigger tribes feel the minority has no right to rule over them the reason all these crisis and problems they are giving GEJ. Its really unfortunate that in a country where we are made to believe that we are all Nigerians and equal by both birth and origin yet some people in some quarters will say they are born to rule hence no other person is qualify to rule. If you are talking of competence, let me ask you , is there a particular region that has the monotony of competence or capacity to rule?I have never seen a govt. in Nigeria that has been so frustrated by the troubles they citizens gives to it like this present govt. Let this man concentrate on carrying the country forward. Who ever feels he is more competent should prove it through the ballot box.

I like ur post at list u did not result to insult irrespective of our notion...I don't believe the north must rule thing, I think no matter how hard the opposition or northerners are giving the president, the onus still fall on the president to weed out this bad element and persecute them...You can't keep calling someone a thief while u have never caught the person stealing..I just pray we get it right at the next election that include those for or against him

qtx:
Which fight for good governance are you talking about? that a man doesn't seem to see anything good about the present administration is that what you call fight for good governance? aligning with opposition and engage in name calling and and insults on the government of the day?
You can never fight for good governance this way and expect better results okay.
Common road safety management they gave him during IBB regime how was he able to handle it and we all know how it ended up.
Oga, rest ok. If you think leadership is easy then i will ask you if you have ever handled even a course position in your tertiary institution(dats if you attended one anyway) you will understand that its easier to criticise from outside, but when you get there you will notice its not that easy as you think.
To hell with his criticisms what Nigerians want is solutions and not criticisms.
He is not doing the nation any good. Let him go and hide in his village because he can not proffer any solution to our problems.

Seriously speaking, what is good about this our country presently?..During babangida/Abacha's tenure the country was still united irrespective of the tribe we came from, even the hausa's were sad with the way the country was and we all had one voice against the government. Fast forward to obasanjo/yaradua tenure, same thing one voice without division. Just check this present tenure, we now hate our self more, we don't tolerate each other anymore, Tribal and religion as divided us so much that we now call our self all sought of names just to prove we are superior to each other..I don't know the angle u supporter's of jonathan are looking at it from but the country has never been brought to his knees like this present government. All I want is good governance and am not seeing it in this present government..

kayciano:
The PROF. bought all these INSULTS upon himself..,considering his status in the ACADEMIC ECHELON ..he should speak constructively..
Please what stops the PROF. from visiting,GEJ. Soliciting help.
He can even visit,SAMBISA ...since,he is immuned to Explosives(being a cultist).

Do you remember when Prof was talking about Boko haram calling them names and castigating their actions?. Do you know he was threatened by bokoharam saying they will kill him and he said to them I have led a fulfilled life and am an old man if u want to kill me u can cos am not afraid to die..Saying the prof to visit Sambisa is out of it...Everybody can't be a soldier, we all have our part to play.

Like have noticed most times here, anything posted or any one who criticise this government by pointing out the mistakes and fault of the government gets slandered without addressing the fact or defending the opinion the person raised. That is why I like the Moniker by name Pendy, he brings facts and defend is opinion wisely, though he can spit fire as well. We shud learn to address the message rather than slander the messenger.

Alphaoscar:
GEJ should rather be compared with legends like Idi-amin, Hitler, Saddam Hussain, Charles Taylor.

haba na!...I don't like his style of governance and I will vote against him come next election but to compare him to such bad people is absolutely wrong...I just felt the presidency was trusted to him when he was not ready for it. My humble opinion

MzPreshie:
Oya clap for yaself.

*Angelsing claps*...Pa! Pa!! Pa!!! Pa!!!! My self!

bollyzeez:
lool...

Don't mind me that I had to go on u like that ooo...Am glad u got the humor from the post rather what I actually meant

Obiagelli:
I gave up on gej before 2011

Funny enough all I was asking people that wanted to vote for him back then was, wat was his antecedent to become the president. No one cud give me an answer all they were saying was it is God who has chosen him...I think Jonathan is a good person with a good heart, its just that he was not ready for the enormous challenges that comes with the presidency..

Vicotex:
na gej send dem make dem go fvck without condom?

Guy u just killed me with laughter....hahahahahahahah

bollyzeez:
smh..goan lie no more!

This child grow up na...Must everything a person post be a lie..why don't u post urs, oh! Wait, u are yet to even know if u are a male or female.

Have got this thing about knowing when a person is lying cos there are signs that shows on ur body and face to tell it..The easiest way to know this thing is to study ur own body language when u lie, once u can detect how ur body feels and the face u make when u lie u can also tell when others are lying. Since I know the face and body language I make when am lying, I can lie to u without u knowing by changing my body language and face to show the body sign like am saying the truth. To me its easy, I can lie and u still won't know cos I know what u expect to see when am lying

Henrypraise:
Again, I will tell u to learn how to decipher propaganda n lies from truth n facts. Most of d presidents words ar most tyms taken out of context. One tin I knw is dat I am not goin bak to egypt, I will kip movin till I reach d promise land. A problem dat began in 1914 cannot be sloved at once, It has to be gradual. U either stand wit d umbrella to shield u durin dis turbulent time, or be swept away wit d broom u holdin.

Lol...I like the part u said "u either stand with d umbrella to shield u during dis turbulent time or be swept away by the broom u are holding..well, all the point I raised u din't talk about it or analyse it..Let's just hope things get better for the country irrespective of who win

Henrypraise:
U shud stop tinkin n go look at wat is on ground, I am very gud in deciphering truth n facts from media lies n propaganda, n I can tell u, apc av no gud plans for nigeria @ d fed level, @ least no plan better dan wat pdp is offerin.

Abt hu has don sumtin wrong, I knw d govt has done everytin right, its d people dat have done everytin wrong, most nigerian citizens still want to be spoon fed n live in d fatansy of everytin is fyn, I don't blame dem cos even d israelites once said: "it wud av bin better if we stayed in egypt dan bringing us to dis wilderness"

This Apc has no plan for Nigeria is an assumption which I will be glad if u can give me fact to back it up....you said u known the government has done everything right?. Like how our citizen are dying everyday, like granting pardon to known convicted felons, saying corruption is not stealing..Is senator Ndume who was found to be a financial for boko haram not in Pdp, has he been persecuted, what about the subsidy scam?. The fail attempt to buy ammunition from S.A..boko haram might have started as political tool but the way he went about like its not his business. I can go on and on. He has done some good things as well, like the railway sector, agriculture, power even though its still not stable there is a progress there but for the fact he can't do its primary objective as a president I.e protection of life and properties its just part of my reason why I feel he has not done well... Imagine after the girls were kidnapped, everybody was clamoring for him to meet with the parent of the children but he refuse only for a 17yrs old foreigner to tell him to this and he did..Am just tired jare

Henrypraise:
Sayin u want to vote 4 sumtin new n votin apc is playin a word on ursef, tell me wats new abt apc? All I see currently in apc is old n myopic notin new not until I see d new n d change u ar talkin abt dats wen I will vote an apc candidate 4 president.

Lemme try to make a point oshiomohle is a change, same is rauf aregbesola but not rochas, not tambuwa, not amechi, not tinubu, not buhari, apc has d change in sum state like benin, but in d fed level all I see is old.

I think people of Imo state rate Rochas high, I might be wrong but from the few things have seen some of them post here they think highly of him...Regarding if they are myopic or not, this present government has done everything wrong, I wud rather vote for somebody else than him, I hope all the presidential candidate can participate in debate then we will know if the other candidate are myopic or not

pendy179:
It is you who is bereft of sanity and lack vital elements that ought to make your brain function.

Tinubu is using money meant for Lagosians, thank.God you didn't say money meant for Abians and Kogites, you know he is using lagos money to buy jets and properties because you're the Accountant General of Lagos State.

Try find your facts, go to court and he will be jailed for corruption, dont come online with beer parlour gossip tales of grasshopper and the buffalo.

Use your Brains at times, God didn't put there as a souvenir of his Mightyness. Why are people like you easily classified as stupid,? It is solely because you don't use your brains at all.

This Guy is always spitting fire..One batallion..lol

Henrypraise:
Gej is not d best, I will vote against him only wen I see a better candidate, not buhari or atiku. Maybe oby ezekwezeli, adams oshomohle, akpabio, donald duke etc. 4 now m gonna vote 4 GEJ

Guess we but have our preference...seriously am just tired of anything PDP..they have been ruling this country for the past 15 yrs and all I see is statue quo.. Same thing all over again....I just want something different just like how the American's got tired of the republican and voted for democrat...I just want something new..sigh!

Henrypraise:
Sumtyms I wonder y pple don't tink, did GEJ kill dos youth corpers cos he wanted to de-populate d north? Or did GEJ bomb dos dos catholic churches cos he wanted to de-populate d north? Dat was d begining days of bh, d northern elites stood, kept quiet n watch @ dat tym.

In 1996 n 1997 wen christians were being killed in d north I guess GEJ was also de-populating d north, just dat dia was no aljazeera den to cova n giv analysis, d fulani herdsmen goin on a killin spree in d middlebelt n ogwashuku ar GEJ kinsmen de-populating d north. Or ur lazy, coward as5 maj-general broda fleeing from d battle front is GEJ de-populating ur kinsmen in d north

I for one never think Jonathan is capable of anything like that infact I know he is too religious to ever consider such but the problem I have with him is his action toward the whole debacle...I just felt he became a president when he was not ready for it...whoever thinks jonathan is capable of that is so wrong though I will vote against him in the coming election

IyfeNamikaze:
it's not actually about Muslim /Muslim candidates , the real problem is the northern born to rule ideology which Buhari is giving testament to.

At this stage we are in this country, we shud do away with which tribe rules, it shud be about competence and not tribe or religion..I don't care abt the tribe or religion who rule this country, all I want is good governance and if its an igbo man that will give me that I will vote for him if its an hausa man that can give me that I will vote for him

kristina1:
Exactly,my sis.......d best thing to do is to draw the line,wen they are going too far.

You called slapping drawing the line..lol.. What happened if ur boy friend happens to be a beast and pummel u right there on the spot given u beautiful make up like Rihana's..You wud have just pushed him and walk off but seriously what kind of guy grabs the Gf butt just to impress his friends...lol

Being Romantic has nothing to do with a tribe, it has to do with the individual...It depends on their level of exposure and how they see Love.. You can't expect to go to my village and find the village born and bread being romantic...lol

VickyyB:
Marriage isn't my only priority.
If he say so, so be it.
Like i said, i prefer emotional guys to strong hearted ones.

Well its just an assumption, I hope u are as tough as u sound..except u are divulge of emotion anybody can cry when something hurt them very much be it in a relationship or any other form

I will advice u continue the relationship until u prove her wrong or she prove u wrong..Don't think she is the only one that can misbehave, u can also do same.. Since u said u guys have been dating for 1/2 yrs it can still work but from another point of view, I assume u guys are still young and it won't be easy but u can make it work

FLAWLES:
.go off(u be lamp)

Flawles help the guy na...Just advice him before u off the lamp even before it is on.
