Any youth canvassing for GEJ in 2015 clearly wants to mortgage the future of this nation. At 0% achievement? , no sector of the Nigerian economy is working and yet you want GEJ to run again. He does not hv want it takes to preside over this nation. For us to move forward as a nation sentiments must be jettisoned. Objectivity shld be key.

Gov Amaechi is a very courageous politician. I like his style and sagacity. I wish all politicians will follow this line of saying it as it is and keeeping their eyes on the ball. Welldone HE Gov Amaechi. You are a man of many parts.

Good for her.

The Igwe has joind his ancestors. He is not dead. Igwe gadi ndu ruo mgbe ebiebi!!!

Iolo: Is this your real issue with GEJ? Charisma and Clout

You mean you are ok with the Way things are going?? SMH. Tell me the qualities of a leader.

It is very surprising that there r still some senseless Nigerians clamouring for GEJ's second term. It is rather unfortunate. I like being objective and I want to state very clearly that Jonathan has not done anything to deserve a second term. He doesn't have the charisma and clout of a president of the largest black nation. Let the truth be told!
This is the most disjointed administration in a democratic era in the history of Nigeria. Everything is wrong with the style of governance.

GEJ is strongly incompetent and Nigerians must resist him come 2015. So much poverty in the land. He must be voted out and jailed for huge corruption in governance under his watch.

Who said God Almighty doesn't answer prayers? He is answering the prayers of Nigerians by destroying PDP. Let the killer party sink totally in Jesus name Amen!!! GEJ does not hv the political clout to rule Nigeria. He will do himself a lot good to go back to otuoke n enjoy his stolen wealth. Nigerians are tired of paper achievements.

There is nothing wrong in what Chief Akande said about GEJ. It is a mere validation/expression of facts that all Nigerians are already aware of. The President should list his concret achievements since enthrownment. Nigerians are tired of rhetorics.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to go to court if he felt libelled by the description of his presidency as a kindergarten presidency by the Interim National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande.

In a statement issued in Accra on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Chief Akande merely told the truth by his characterization of the Jonathan presidency, adding ”Isn’t truth a defense to libel?”

It also said there was nothing strange or wrong in criticizing a democratically-elected President, after all he is neither an Imperial President, a Monarchy nor an Emperor. APC said nothing confirmed Chief Akande’s assertion that Jonathan is running a kindergarten presidency than the crude manner it (presidency) responded to the frank but constructive criticism by the APC National Chairman.

”In the true character of this presidency, its increasingly irreverent and undignified spokesman failed to respond to the issues raised by Chief Akande, and instead chose to hurl abuses at a man who is old enough to be his father. Such irresponsible act does no credit to the spokesman or the president he is serving, and Nigerians will definitely not forget such crudity in a hurry.

”Where is the presidency’s response to Chief Akande’s assertion that he has written two letters to the President over the serious challenges facing the country, without getting a response? Where is the presidency’s response to Chief Akande’s assertion that President Jonathan is witch-hunting political opponents? These are the issues that Nigerians are interested in, not how many hours the President sleeps at night because he is supposedly working tirelessly.

”In any case, if indeed this President is working tirelessly, we need to ask who he is working for, because Nigerians have yet to feel the impact of his administration. They are also not interested in the fact that the President once served as a deputy governor, governor and Vice President, because the experiences he supposedly garnered from doing so have not impacted positively on his duty as President. That’s not a surprise, considering that the President owes his meteoric rise in politics to luck and destiny. Nothing else!” the party said

It described the presidency as an under-achieving one, always eager to celebrate tokenism, using questionable statistics.

”As the presidency was composing its empty response to the serious issues raised by our highly-respected Chairman, the African Development Bank was saying in its annual report (African Economic Outlook), quoted by the local media on Sunday, that the proportion of people (Nigerians) living below the national poverty line has worsened from 65.5 per cent in 1996 to 69.0 per cent in 2010, most of those years under the PDP and the last four under President Jonathan.

”What therefore is there to celebrate in a presidency under which power generation has fallen to 2,500MW? What is there to celebrate in a presidency that has only given Nigerians widespread insecurity, unemployment, dilapidated infrastructure, oil theft and unbridled corruption. Of what use is the touted 6% increase in the GDP when over 40% of our youth are unemployed?,” the APC queried.

The party described as a figment of the presidency’s imagination the claim of a feud between its leaders, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, saying the PDP and the presidency have been peddling lies over a phantom feud because they could not fathom how the leadership of the APC could put national interest above personal considerations.

”Mr. President, don’t let your lick-spittle aides deceive you. There is absolutely no feud between the two leaders. Waiting for such a feud is like ‘Waiting for Godot’.” it said.

If the statement credited to Mrs Jonathan is true then it is indeed rather a shame n unfortunate to address her as Her Excellency, First Lady of Nigeria. She does not understand the workings of government.

I usually go out with my wedding ring inside my pocket. I wear it on my way home. That's it.

Dr Abati has shown that a man can clearly speak from both sides of his mouth. It is very unfortunate. What moral lesson does he have for future generation? As a journalist he should know that record keeping and information retrieval is key. Nigerians can never ever take his position on national issues serious. I regret to say that he is full of disappointment.

Usual message template.We want result not rhetorics Mr. President. Time is greatly of the essence.

CBN has expressly stated that there are four valid means of identification which must be acceptable to money deposit banks. The include: international passport, drivers license, national I'd and only recently votes' card. It is against the policy for any bank to turn a customer that have any of the listed IDs down.
You should take it up with anyone who exhange valid I'd for money. This is fraud if it actually happened. Do not allow this to die.
It is our responsibility to redirect this nation on the path of justice and zero corruption.

This post is misleading.

So what happens if the election holds in 2015? No one should play God.

Thoughtful and meaningful.

Hon Eziuche Ubani during the controversial fuel subsidy removal did say at the floor of the house that GEJ shld admit that the country is broke. The issue has resurfaced. This is an administration of so much deceit, secrecy and lies. The country is doomed if this is to continue.

No be small. Something is definitely wrong with our system. Norms n values hv been thrown to the wind.

Very intelligent piece. The moment of decision has come for this president. He should act in favour of ordinary Nigerians or give way to some1 that is capable to deal with the worsening situation in the land.

pastor bakare is a very concerned nigerian. he is very much entitled to his belief, opinion and the best way forward for this country. the Save Nigeria Group we will all agree brought about the change we have today. without them the national assembly wouldnt have seen the obvious reason to elevate Goodluck Jonathan to the position of acting present. we must give kudos to pastor bakare and other conveners of the SNG.

this man sanusi is pregnant and at the same time nursing a baby, i hv said it b4 that what this sanusi will bring to nija wears a hat on ist head, God will help us really

this man sanusi is pregnant and at the same time nursing a baby. wat this sanusi will bring to nija wears a hat on its head, how can u make a mallam governor of CBN? events r still unfolding n sanusi will soon nail his own coffin. watch out!

the discussions n critical analysis of Oceanic Bank Intl is a clear indication that the bank is a top class institution in the Nigerian banking industry. we r all suprised about wat happened to oceanic. it is important to know that all that happened is political. why didnt sanusi wait for all the banks to be audited for changing the management of the five banks? why the hurry? sanusi handled the matter in the most unprofessional manner, why make the public panic for nothing, ? why the counter announcements on the tv stations that the banks are safe and strong? is he not pursuin a northern agenda? staff of First bank(where sanusi came from) where rejoicing over the proclamation of the CBN governor that yes First Bank has now regained their 1st position in nija because is only oceanic founded a little over 20yrs ago that has competed stiffly with 1st bank. wat a shame to nija. it is most unethical!!!

It is a statement of fact that Dr Mrs Ibru is the amazon of the banking industry and has contributed SIGNIFICANTLY to building a stronger nija. u cannot beat that! Lets us all be objective in our reasoning and postings pls.

when you call ur gal mom what den do u call ur mother, ? dats old fashion, look for sumtin more sexy, like a nick name or sumtin.
