barcanista: . There is no proof in your "claim". You only copy and paste the said contentious bio. Can you provide us with his records in Primary or secondary schools? To ascertain his true birth date?
I have no idea what you are on about, beating about the bush I guess. The premise of the allegation was that Jonathan claimed to have moved to Port Harcourt in 1955 (after the civil war lol), which I believe was an error on the part of the writer. What kind of records do you want? Did you ask for records when the claimed he moved to PH in 1955? Jonathan's records are fully with INEC.
djmask: Mr sharp finger, ain't shedding tears....am just stating a fact that u should voice too. A media outfit should be neutral... and nairaland is falling out. Seun should look into it.
How does allowing two Opposing views amount to not being neutral? The accusation made front page, the response made front page too. What are they supposed to do to be neutral? You dull scatter.
barcanista: OP how does your post prove that Jona was actually born in 1957? All you did was to copy and paste his allaged falsified bio
The accusation was based on Jonathan allegedly saying he moved to Port Harcourt in 1955 without any video proof, I simply provided other instances that indicates that Jonathan actually moved to Port Harcourt in 1975. Besides, in the same article, he was referring to a period after the civil war? How can 1955 be after the civil war? The writer obviously didn't hear him properly.
When Buhari mispronounced Osinbajo's name, did these guys say "he obviously meant to call him Osinbajo"?? Didn't Fayose accuse the General of going "senile" for not pronouncing the name correctly?? Are we then to assume Jonathan too has gone "senile" for saying '55 instead of '65??
How many "obviously meant" kind of blunders has the president committed since he was sworn into office??
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. GEJ has been caught pants down lying to the whole world.
You could at least provide a video like those of Buhari. For now, I can conclude that the writer was the one who didn't hear properly. Jonathan said 1975 not 1955.
It is clear that Jonathan moved to PH in 1975 after he wrote his WASC examination. He said 1975 and the writer heard 1955, whose fault is it? One thing that no one can dispute is that he was referring to a period after the civil war. Which one suits the description?
mods I think you guys should also take this to the front page just like the other one so that people can make a better informed judgement.
This is in response to this thread where our Amiable President was accused of falsifying his age.
President Jonathan's Curriculum Vitae Education St Stephen’s primary school ( now state school ) Otuoke, 1961 – 1965 St Michael’s primary school, Oloibiri, Bayelsa State FSLC, 1966 – 1969 Mater Dei high school, Imiringi, Bayelsa State , 1971 – 1975 University of Port Harcourt, 1977 – 1981 University of Port Harcourt, 1983 – 1984 University of Port Harcourt, 1987 – 1995
Jonathan finished secondary school in Bayelsa in 1975, moved to Port harcourt that same year (1975) where he got a job at the customs, he worked there for 2 years before securing admission in uniport in 1987.
In 1971, the young lad furthered his studies at Mater Dei High School – Imiringi and by 1975, he sat for the West African School Certificate and passed with flying colours. With his sparkling performance and enduring milieu, young Goodluck soon secured a job as a Preventive Officer in the Department of Customs and Excise from 1975 to 1977. However, because of his dogged quest for academic knowledge, Goodluck Jonathan promptly enrolled as a pioneer student in the department of Zoology at the newly established University of Port Harcourt, in 1977.
He obviously meant 1975 in that speech, I believe the writer of the article didn't hear him properly, 1955 isn't after the civil war, 1975 is! I have searched for a video of that speech to hear exaclty what he said and this is the best I could find.

LRNZH: You guys are Just pathetic. GEJ was born just after WW2. He moved to PH 10 years after the same war.
Come up with another excuse.
Even after the Civil War, how many vehicles did we have? How many roads? How many streets had light? “I remember the day I was chatting with a group of elders and they said after the war there was electricity everywhere, they travelled out and so on.
He was obviously referring to the Civil war, this one cannot work. Can't you see that the other APC plebs have abandoned you? Go and lick your wounds.
reborn1: You are watchim him closely? Lol. You always feel important and smart, sometimes i just laugh when you post jargons and form hacker with your ragtag little kids. Smh
SlamDunk: wait o, so AIT expect learned Nigerians to believe this poo... hahahaha, if a particular party can use a software to keep voting continously why didnt other parties do the same. who them dey deceive
One party is more desperate than the other One party understands that the real election is what matters most and not online polls.
Samchelsea: get off my mention please, you wish me death for no just cause while being blindfolded at the truth staring at your face.... For your info you don't know me and I don't wish to know you either, I work hard to earn my living so I don't belong to your begging generation
uyplus: I Sabi you, no worry!! You are not too young to die.. How can a small boi lik you be so damn stupid enough to mortgage your future for peanuts? You live in abj!! Unless u aren't the 1, but if you are the pesin I'm guessing, you'd regret the final outcome..
Mr Uboho Uy Plus, are you threatening him or what? Be very careful please. We are watching you closely.
oluwapitson: You made an important point. saying it alone shows that they are not competent enough.
They are a TV station and not an IT company. Yes, they made mistakes in the way the poll was set up, but it doesn't take anything away from what APC did. They probably under estimated the desperation of APC.
HugeMac: All other online polls have been closely contested in which GEJ won, a few buhari won too but never by a wide margin, GEJ has large support base online and offline I knew something was wrong with that poll
When you consider the fact that vast majority of Buhari support base do not use the internet, it becomes more glaring that something was wrong. I just knew it.
doctokwus: Shameful,unprofessional pdp appendage. AIT is just the private branch of NTA. I can't wait to see AIT go into bankruptcy and close down when GMB assumes power.
Just as businesses closed down and people lost their jobs in both the Private and public sector when Buhari took over in 1984. To those who think Buhari can solve their unemployment problem, there you go!
ayindejimmy: Someone comes here, posted a comment without ANY link talk less of a credible one. And you swallowed it hook line and sinker? And you used it as a premises to degrade people of divergence view... Your height of gullibility is astronomical I put it to you AIT never made such statement
