Descartes:
Definitely you will provide the person that did this dirty job for political gains

Till then,

Investigation searchlight and GPS are on already

Hehehe. . Blood never hurts blood.

Descartes:
So you are the one doing this dirty job?

Let's watch and see

Nah. From the angle you should know I didn't take the picture. Someone else must have done this.

dhardline:
Looks like he just blinked and the camera snapped while his eye lids were closed.stop spreading lies.

How do cameras "snap" They break into two pieces or what??

Descartes:
Hmmmm...

Yup. I was sitting right beside him.

gratieao:
The man is not sleeping joor

I think you must be dreaming!

Descartes:
When, where and in what occasion

1pm. In his office. While signing a contract for Obi.

8/10.

I wonder why France is always interested in undermining our national security. During the Biafra War they supplied huge quantities of arms to the Biafran soldiers while they couldn't provide as much as a bag of staple food for starving children. Why are they so interested in seeing this country go up in flames??

I think it's about time this got to the Hague. Enough of the horseshit already!

CLAPTRAP!!!

What a kid. . Sorry I shouldn't have replied you initially.

Jonathan doubts someone's intelligence!!

loadux:
The answer is -2

2 - [1 - (1 - [2 - 3] - 2) + 3]

2 - [1 - (1 - [-1] - 2) + 3]

2 - [1 -(1 + 1 - 2) + 3]

2 - [1 - (0) + 3]

2 - [ 4 ]

= -2

Spot on!

Tinubu, ur pay master. Sahara desert are u telling us this is the most cogent issues in the so called so much talk abt book Baba iyabo, is only tellin Nigerians what we already know. Nigerians knows Tinubu to be corrupted n Nigerians also know that Obasanjo hate GEJ for refusing to dance to his tone. So I say if these are d real issues discused in d book then I will say the book is very useless n wasting of time. Baba has nothing to do with his time though... GEJ till 2019 no shaking!!!

Odefolio. I'm sure your eyes were blind to the first tweet which says Jonathan is highly incompetent. Bloody hypocrite.

For those overzealous anti APC or Tinubu posters who'd wanna riddle Jagaban with bullets over the tweet above, I implore you not to be too quick on the trigger as I'm very sure the revelations would hurt Jonathan more than it would anyone else... Let's tarry with the harsh comments for the time being.

Matthewbriggs:
I will fix corruption mantra is not enough. because this is not a military government where he can easily impose his will on every body and give declarations that everyone would be scampering to obey. This is democracy where his powers would be very much in check by legions of corrupt officials who can easily undermine him and understand the game of democracy more than he does.

To fix corruption you need to be strategist, having the desire to fix Nigeria is not good enough you need to have the required smartness, the required sagacity to deliver on that promise. I doubt he has that sagacity looking at this interview and the fact that he has no solid track record in a democratic setting or in the business world that can stand for him ...

Moreover I wish him well in his primaries.

He doesn't have to "impose his will" my brother, all he would do is "impose the law"!!

AbdulAdam56:
Smh,our class room Here in france.

Wtf!!!

This doesn't look good.

Saharareporters seem to have accessed the much talked about but yet to be released Obasanjo's Autobiography. Here are what they are tweeting under the hashtag MyWatch (#MyWatch).

This is gonna be reeeeaaally interesting!!!

Hope we get more updates.

And who is behind "stealing" ma'am??

LogicPower:
I pity this young guy and his naivety, and feel insulted by the Thai investigating officer's remarks, that "Nigerians are bringing shame on Africa" and "Nigerians are the curse of Africa". OMG!

And the Thai officer's specific remarks on the Igbos should provide some food for thought to the Igbo leadership at home and in diaspora. After the officer called Nigerians 'the curse of Africa', he asks rhetorically " - and from Nigeria, who is the biggest curse? Igbo people, because they are selfish, they are stubborn and they lie so well --". And he even reminds the young Igbo guy that " - -many stupid igbos they sit where you are sitting and they lie, and they, and they lie and they end up in prison --"

The officer was rather too uncouth if you ask me. That is like profiling.

mperoakeem:
just lyk dat

Nah, not. "Just like that". Just after Ali Modu Sheriff's visit!!!

IdomaLikita:
I watched the Interview and I'd rate him 70%
His Answers were Simple and he chose his words carefully since he knows Nigerians are watching keenly to twist his words against him!

1. Corruption: "Other Sectors will take time to contribute significantly to our GDP, hence we should prioritize Stabilizing Oil Prices and Plugging Wastage from top to bottom while waiting for other sectors to mature"

#Strength: For christ sake, isn't that what prominent economists have been saying all the while?? Plug wastage, reduce cost of governance, diversify(while will not mature any time soon) and use our position in OPEC to stabilize Oil prices(which is fairly stable now)! His ability to summarize this is Simple terms earns him a 60%

#Weakness; His Inability to use technical terms and quote figures cost him 40%

2: Security: "The Soldiers are complaining of not having enough Weaponry despite the huge disbursements from the FG" "Nigeria would have Initiated Chad, Cameroun and Niger earlier before now"

#Strength: He won the Hearts of the Military by absolving them of blame( smart political move) and laid the blame indirectly on the Govt and Military Hqtrs for siphoning funds meant for combat! He Bolstered this assertion further by saying "Nigeria didn't borrow a Dime while fighting the Civil War, hence a $1Billion Loan is unjustifiable". This also exposes the corruption that is Sabotaging the War effort! I'll give him a 70% in this Regard

#Weakness: The Government is already implementing some of his suggestions though late, thus requiring the need for brand new ideas which he lacked! He lost 30% there!

3. Flexibility: "I cannot work outside the Decision of my Party", "I signed the Undertaking..."

#Strength: it shows he is willing to work as a team with others who may not share similar Ideals as his! That shows Team spirit and and ability to defer to the Decisions of the Party Hierarchy! For a Man who has been seen as an Autocrat! I think he has proven his skeptics wrong! I give him a 100% in this regard

#Weakness: None!

4. Patriotic: "I do not regret truncating the Shagari Regime"
I think that was his finest moment! Any Admission of regret would have automatically ended his political career!

#Strength: 'Democracy is not an avenue to destroy institutions and watch unprecedented Stealing"! The events in Egypt, Thailand, Burkina Faso and soon Togo all vindicate him! He values State institutions much more than anything and would do anything necessary to protect it!
(This is the reason why Sisi and Zida still enjoy 90% popularity in their countries despite toppling democratic regimes)! I score him an 60% in this regard!

#Weakness: He should have used events in other countries and the antecedents of his era to back his assertion! He would have used the opportunity to brag about his achievements within his 18month rule as against the Shagari regime! It cost him 40%

The Man looked kinda Frail though!

Wish him the Best!

I love this comment.

By the way, your moniker indicates you are from David Mark's domain. How's the man been performing down there??

Matthewbriggs:
I think buhari supporters sound more smarter than buhari him self. I arrived late at the interview but the much I watched. I was not impressed. He is really over hyped. Lacks charisma, has no strong understanding of the economy and really not eloquent as hyped.

He only mantra is I will kick corruption out, something that would be even more difficult feat to achieve in a democratic government where his powers are seriously in check.

I really wish APC could give us Fashola. He is the smartest and the best APC has got, with a proving track record of managing a complex state as lagos ... a state that is a melting point of people of all ethinc group and religion. Even tho he has his weakness ... He is better.

Nigeria needs a technocrat at the helm of affairs not a politician. We need someone who have a very deep understanding of how the economy works.

The very best they can do for us in this condition is to make Fashola his running mate anything less than that would be disaster. I would personally campaign against him in the little way I can if Fashola is not his running mate

Buhari's mantra is that he'd fight corruption to a standstill and most Nigerians have faith in him to keep that promise. Fix the scourge of corruption and you effectively fix 80%, or more, of our problems. What is was/is Jonathan's mantra?? "I had no shoes"!! How in God's gracious name is that our problem Has shoelesness or "shoefulness" ever been a factor in determining how a country is governed

Buhari towers over and above anything our present crop of politicians have to offer. At this point in our national life, we can ill afford any further deterioration in our economic indices especially as regards government's probity and fight against corruption.

Buhari is simply the man for the Job!

eaglechild:
I feel very embarrased for him.

Why in the world will APC not field Fashola?

Why bring a clueless, arrogant, fundamentalist?

I thought you guys said Fashola is Tinubu's stooge and is indeed very corrupt, why clamour for his candidacy

Save your dreams for another day. Buhari is gonna be elected in 2015 and it would be immensely exhilarating to see some of you guys slit your wrists for the heck of it!

obi4eze:
Can GEJ be interviewed like this by a privately -owned broadcasting agency? He won't stand it.

Suicide I hear someone say!!

eaglechild:
Exactly, to put it simply he sounded clueless and corrupt at the same time he is part of the military that rundown the country so what do you expect.

Really Someone somewhere once spent nearly an entire hour in a presidential media chat confusing the whole world over how corruption could be differentiated from stealing and you never made any such remarks, no?? How about that for sounding corrupt??

Thesame dude granted state pardons to ex convicts whose cases bothered on corruption/stealing (as the case may be) and made them untouchable VIPs in the country, you never raised an eye brow. Yes??

Same dude sang praises of a fugitive (to this day) calling him his benefactor yet you saw nothing wrong with that, yes??

And here you are accusing someone of "sounding corrupt" because you apparently are too "basic" to understand what he's saying,,,,

You are a fvcking hypocrite.

Has he passed out yet??

Our incoming president looking dapper in different shades!!

shadowgwalker:
after years of reading/listening to media news I learnt just one lesson;
-NEVER BELIEVE THE MEDIA, THEY PLAY WITH YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL MIND SPINNING YOUR WORLD AROUND MAKING YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING UNREAL.

#Nigerian journalists are paid to write.

And who would you believe?? The Government

I'm sure Marylin Ogar is busy sipping Cool Aid somewhere in Obudu and is totally oblivious of the intrigues surrounding this episode. Imagine what would have happened had an opposition figure been fiingered in this incident...

Nigeria Arise!!

Has he collapsed yet Asking cos that seems to be the trend.

Mogidi:
And you think GMB would pass psychological evaluation? Those psychologists doing his evaluation would have a field day deciphering the mind of an extremist. Not a job I'd want to apply for.

It is funny how animated you get whenever you mention or see Buhari get mentioned anywhere. What an effect the gentleman's got on you. And as per your not applying for such a job, what need is there?? Apparently, you are totally unemployable (apologies to soludo) !!

Things like this are the reason I support the NMAs call for psychological evaluation of to-be political office holders.
