Guys, am not holding brief for the president. He has disappointed me severally in matters that he should have risen as the president. I am not his supporter.
But that does not mean that when he does something that seems plausible he should not be commended.

For guys that are calling this irresponsible or irrational statement, I bet you that you do not know the drama, the intrigues that surround Boko haram and the Borno elders. For Jonathan to summon up courage and give it to the elders in black and white is something that should be commended. The elders have been making a lot of noise about the withdrawal of JTF from Borno yet cannot guarantee that bombs will not go off. They are more concerned with the people that die as a result of JTF action but never bothered about the people that die from the havoc of boko haram. They have never for once condemned the actions of Boko Haram but are quick to talk about JTF action. They are even asking for amnesty for boko haram in support of Sultan of Sokoto.

Here is GEJ again
“[size=15pt]The Boko Haram insurgency is reducing gradually in states like Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe and Niger among others, but in Borno State the situation is increasing. It is unfortunate, and this is because you the elders refused to come out and condemn the activities of the sect who are your children. This is not a time to be playing to the gallery,” the President stated.[/size]

Below is president GEJ's best and devoid-of-any-political-undertone statement ever.
He made the statement while reacting on Borno Elders forum call for withdrawal of JTF in Borno.
GEJ suddenly remembers he is C-IN-C.
I only wish he can muster enough courage to declare that on corruption.

[size=15pt]On the removal of JTF, Jonathan said, “If anyone of you (referring to Borno Elders) wants the Federal Government to withdraw JTF troops from the state, he should come and sign an agreement that if anybody is killed after signing the document, I will hold you responsible according to the law of the land; I assure you that before I go back to Abuja all the JTF troops will leave the state."[/size]

yaksmb: All the things written here are fables. These are ways to destroy IBB's image. The Christian that forged this took his/ her time  to the extent that he made silly mistakes. Pls where is University of sokoto?? Someone shld lead me thr pls. This post makes no sence @ ol cos the lie is beyond reasonable doubts. Thankyou.

What is the issue with University of Sokoto?

ganye1: From the answer to the first question I know this is a badly written fiction. How can a person who grew up in Wukari not know that Wukari is in Taraba state not Maiduguri? How can a person who studied under sheik Gumi not know that he lived in Kaduna not Kano? Those concoct these sort of stories shall God.

I think you are the person confused here. The person said WULARI not WUKARI. He also said he was trained at Abubakar Gumi School of Islamic studies in Kano.
Please read again.

David Mark is everywhere violating federal character yet when you hear him you think he is the federal character personified.
Even in the recently concluded Jos University Teaching Hospital recruitment, it was David Mark's list that topped everywhere.
All truth must come out someday.

GEJ fell short of calling Amanpour and indeed dept of state, USA liars on his interview with Amanpour.
You do not insinuate these guys as liars without they shoving the truth to your face.
GEJ bought wahala by even calling the dept of state as an interest group.
They will so humiliate GEJ for trying to mar the image of USA. Next time he hears Amanpour, he'll think twice before granting interview if he has no truth to say.

okpara ugo: CAN is not a political pressure group nor a social conscience crusader nor a political activist.

CAN is defending their belief against a reckless intruder. Pls stop this PDP rubbish.

And what belief are they defending? This write up by CAN is not Christ like at all. Didn't the same Jesus say if a man slaps you on one cheek to turn another? Did Jesus ever ask them to defend him. Even when Peter in the bible try defending Jesus, Jesus told him hje does not need defending. CAN should go and study what Christ would have done in this situation and not start threatening someone in the name of Jesus.

The Federal Government has agreed to the public debate with Ezekwesili. But as a condition, the president demands that the questions be sent ahead of time to allow for adequate preparations.
As i write this a press statement is being prepared.

If seemingly two steps forward and authenticated ten steps backward is what you call major economic achievement.Give it up for GEJ.

ocelot2006: 6,433MW? I'm DEFINITELY impressed. That's more than 50% of the intended target. Be rest assured that this administration will meet its target. And the anti-GEJ team will have no other option but to shut the hell up.

Kudos GEJ.

Lies! Lies! And more lies.
The Transmission Company of Nigeria TCN, said at no time last year was generation up to 5000MW as claimed by GEJ in the last media chat. How come this 'evil spirit' minister is claiming over 6000MW?
They will not meet up the 10000MW by december 2013. Mark my words. Success can be tracked and it is predictable. Does this un serious and clueless govt look like they can deliver 10000MW?

Of course he'll win. No be coucillor him dey contest for

Lies lies lies.
With all the security mounted up in Abuja and patrolling of the streets by security agents, there is no how these posters would have been placed without active connivance with the security. If GEJ said he's not aware of the posters, he definitely is aware when they were being placed.
GEJ should respect himself and finish his tenure of good luck while Nigerians endure. He should not bother contesting 2015. NIGERIANS CANNOT AND WILL NOT ENDURE THAT!

You are right sir Mr president, we can achieve the Nigeria dream but obviously not under your watch.

What you wear for your wedding depends on how serious you take the union you are going into.
just as you wont wear and jeans and Tshirt for an interview because you take the interview serious.
I have even seen crazy dressers in the music industry wear very good and formal clothing to attend award nights.
Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong in wearing Tshirt and snickers to your wedding. it only tells how serious you take the whole event and life after the event.

Elueme: If I may ask, what use will this be? Governance isn't all about speaking vocabulary or oratorical. Thread like this is a direct product of idleness by some youths. Smh for OP

You want us to deduce his plans for Nigeria from his muteness. Governance is leadership and leadership means you lead the way. In what area has GEJ led the way? A leader should be able to accurately convey his thoughts for the led. Probably leading a nation is not his area of leadership; he should go back to the classroom.

nairaland guys,
You want your trainee president to take a professional exam (BBC Hardtalk) when he has not demonstrated competence in the Mock exams (NTA Interview).
That's wicked man!

ACM10: How many sitting foreign leaders have appeared on Hardtalk?

Does this look like google to you?

Mcdondayan: We want our President to be interviewed by BBC? its not a problem. Will David (the british P.M) agree to be interviewed by N.T.A

Why kind of non intelligent comparison be this. NTA would rather be the ones intimidated. What do they know about Brit.
The British PM will be too happy to be interviewed by NTA. I can even arrange that. But I guarantee you that GEJ will never agree to interview by BBC Hardtalk.

Fortune02: C o...He said manitoba cntract ova d managemnt of TCN hs NT bin rvoked...He's certainly lyin cause he stammerd ova d issue

He also stammered when he said his govt is seriously fighting corruption.

Demdem: Will u shut ur trap retardeen. U dont think they own the company 100%. u should know and talk authoritatively. U ARE THE PRESIDENT

Gbam!

Maxymilliano: i doubt if you are actually watching the live version of the program 'coz there is no phone in yet...

Me ma I dey wonder oh

afam4eva: Jonathan has really grown confidence over time.

Confidence because he was prepped with the answers to the question. The true test of confidence is to allow independent bodies handle the chat or allow non arrangee live phone in.

maxani: why are the journalists looking bored?

They were told to jettison their questions and were given the questions to ask with serious warning not to try anythin funny.

Ride on GEJ!
Remove the subsidy.
Revolutions always need a trigger.
So the prophecy that there would be elections before 2015 is already playing out.

Who una wan deceive.
You want to deliberate the answer and prep the president before time.
If you are really serious, open and independent phone in line.
More seriously if you can just answer all the premiumtimes question truthfully, it will be okay.

Guys, this presidential media chat will be loaded. Abati and Okupe have prepped GEJ for the chat. Calls will go tru this time (of course arrangee ones) and some seemingly serious questions will be asked by the callers just to give the whole media chat some credibility. But it is all rehearsed and GEJ has been spending this week rehearsing all the responses. The panel is also arranged, they are to only ask the questions they have been given and warned not to try anything funny. This is PRESIDENTIAL MEDIA CHAT RELOADED. You heard it from me.

afam4eva: Was any deadline given? If not then let's have a little patience cos they'll need to reconfigure the software on the ATMs.

Reconfigure ko software ni!
When the 100 charge was agreed it was implemented within 24hrs, how come removing it would take 24 months.
Naija no ni.

what nonsense is this.
You think having and flying an helicopter is like owning and riding okada where it is unnoticed?
Say something else.

oxford: Truth? Substantiate your claims that
*Doyin is keeping Nigeria under-develop
*Anti- development
*cause distraction
or do you think with your anus? Just a question. No fight, just facts.

pardon?

Mustay: Sarcasm?

It's become trite jare. What is or who is? Like seriously How did suchperson ever get here? It's a failed joke

Thats the problem with you and your boss Okupe, you have no understanding of anything and you have oligorrhoea.
Go and find out what sarcasm means. Download a dictionary online for goodness sake!!!!

Billyonaire: Dr. Doyin Okupe is a well-lettered erudite scholar with brains. He has no equals in the political landscape when it comes to publicity management. Kudos to the man who is envied by the intelligent and hated by the ignorant.

Correction sir. Why are you insulting Doyin Okupe?
Your citation should read thus:

Debtor Doyin Okupe is a well-littered nairadite scholar with banes. He has no equals in the political landscrape when it comes to dupelicity and damagement. Kudos to the man who is leveled by the intelligent and rated by he ignorant.

oxford: Which zoo did this monkey escape from? Ur brain is functioning on reverse gear!

The same Zoo i helped you escape twice because your brain is functioning on averse-to-truth gear.
