In Fela's voice; Teacher Teacher oo Nor be lecturer be your name!

I copied this from my friend's Facebook wall

"Proudly Nigerian" yet our favorite teams are English and Spanish, our clothes must be "UK" or "US", our holidays and degrees must have a foriegn spice, wetin pain me pass na garri, Garri self don get foreign and local one. Proudly Nigerian, I hear. abeg"

faithbukky: I can't agree less with Micklplus as he enunciates his points above. To buy fuel at the normal price is a problem. Reform by mouth. I have not seen electricity since I wake up. After 3 weeks of interrupted low current in Ilorin. A true Nigerian reformer must use the Rawlings experience. Jonathan wasted the goodwill that brought him to power by refusing to step on toes. Yar Adua voluntarily declared his assets but my uncle Jona does not give a damn. 1 year prayer without action is a waste of time. God has given us the WILL POWER to do the right thing. Poverty is prevalent even among the middle class while the rich are getting richer. Prayer ko, fasting ni.

Don't mind all the liars that are feeding us with bullpoo!

ubandire: Same old thing no new gist,u still failed to give clear facts to support ur earlier position.You are simply exhibiting ur ignorance thereby vindicating my stand on ur argument.Alll noise no fact to contradict the president's speech or agenda.

Your stand would be a problem when you try to force your opinion on me! Its your right to be clogged up unto your opinion and I won't even have problem with that, in so far as, you are not forcing your opinion on me. So, don't console yourself with whatever vindication you are in love with. Cheers

ubandire: I can't imagine how daft some people sound,all these are verifiable facts,check it and come up with counteracts if u get any not sitting a corner and keep sulking in negativity.Is it a secret that power supply has improved tremendously,how much do u pay in tariffs in other countries?u want to have light and u still wouldn't pay for it?hat is how u shortchange govt.

I've have people who have gotten jobs over the last 6 months,personally I've floated two new business outfits which are presently doing well,there has been massive construction of affordable housing units across the length and breadth of this country,so if according to Mr President the country has been ranked among the top five Africa,I wouldn't disprove it unless I've substantial evidence to the contrary.

In case u decided to ignore this part of the speech,the Manufactures association of Nigeria(MAN)has disclosed that, as at July 2012, 249 new members across the country had joined the Association, and that capacity utilization has also improved,so are u now saying we should discard fact from an authority and take ur street rumour peddler rambling.You are also blind to the ongoing port reforms?

As a blind pessimist u'll turn a blind eyes and deaf ears to the presentation of the PIB bill before the national assembly,does that not go a long way to show the transparency and sincerity of this administration.

The Transparency international has rated Nigeria as the second most improved in fighting corruption,the govt has exposed high level corruption in sectors that where deemed untouchable in the past,the executive has done their part of these cases and handed over to the judiciary.

Don't seat in a corner and present rubbish and unverified facts before the forum and expect it to sell.

Well, its good to know that, u can bring your point to the fore but, since I didn't attack you personally, you shouldn't have attacked me on no account! I won't fall for cheap and sweet talk. I will only go with verifiable facts directly connected to the government and things put in place by the government. It is appalling that you are chestbeating in vain! The two outfits you opened were put in place by the government? Did the government employ the people in your establishment?


Which power are you talking about? Forget propaganda and face fact, if government is working and I can't feel it, should I say govt is working? I was paying 2500 before, I now pay 10,000 and yet, power hasn't improved in spite of the fact that I pay more money !!!! ( 400%)

We have millions of youths not employed and roaming the streets hoping to land a job, govt provided 250,000( even if it was true) jobs for people in govt that ordinary people can't access and in your brilliance, govt has resolved un-employment problem?

Incase you don't know, the people that were employed by private coys should count as govt effort? In the last 2 years, over 18,000 people lost their jobs in the financial sector alone and that's resolving un-employment issue?

Which PIB? The ones that have been doctored and the vital part( that favours the people) removed and so far, has the bill seen the light of the day? How long should it take govt to prosecute the people that were involved in the subsidy scam? Malibu nko?

What about corruption? That's been resolved and eradicated? Abegi!!!!

You should learn to be objective!!! Dont ever let your sense of reasoning be beclouded by sentiments! When govt should be delivering and lapses have been identified, we should learn to put fire in the "yansh" in order for them to be working and be seen to be working for the people!

A good speech is a poo if it doesn't translate to improvement in the lives of the people!

Abegi, make you and jona nor teach me nonsense joor!
Face facts and shove your sentiment up your throat

I laugh oo.

Creating jobs for millions of who? Aliens? Which job?

Power tarrif? Reduced? I now pay over 400% yet, no light ooo.

Health sector? Yet, he ferried his wife abroad for treatment ooo.

FDI ke? Presi, cool down nah!!! How is naija hub of investment and has 20% of investment into the continent when companies are relocating abroad?

Electoral reform? Ok o, why did u remove the only person that could challenge PDP? Salami?

What is our stand in the comity of nation? Vacant seats when our presido was giving his speech at the UN?

Maybe police have been strenghtened and empowered, I am yet to fully feel our askaris ooo.

Corruption? Hmmmmm, oga presido? Fuel subsidy? Pension scam? Malibu? Na wah

We are not even a sleeping giant again, we be proper giant in a coma!
I'll come back for more.

Very wonderful thread! Keep it up guys.

ifyalways: a br.east in mouth is worth 2 in bra.

LOL

I guess I was pushing my luck too far. I was xpecting him to be more of a listening leader than a "i-dont- give-a-damn" ruler.

Like what he just did about the printing of the N5000( suspension) but then, he said the same thing about fuel price hike and voila, price increase was announced Jan. 1, 2012!

According to Prof, if only uncle jona can do away with the psychos and "expadon" advisers around him, I think he CAN go places and achieve more but again, a ruler would be a ruler and would think all critics are cut out to malign him and bring about his down fall.

So on point. He captured it fully. Jonathan's disconnect from people's pain is alarming! I wonder why with the magnitude of that protest, jonathan would rather trivialise it and sanction it "hijacked"

Anyway, prof said it all already

Well, a good decision is always a good one at that.
For the first time since you assumed office, welldone on this. Atleast, you just scored a point in my book.

If you do wrong tomorrow, I go yab you well well ooo

Ok, good!

@Oriki, nice article!

If only uncle jona can think thoroughly and do away with the psycho advisers around him, i believe he CAN do well but then, hes not acting likes hes cut out to do anything right,No?

The no-going back was on Tuesday while the new plan to halt the introduction of N5000 note came to light on Wednesday

ogugua88: What is this nonsense?



Were the protests only in Lagos? The protest didn't even start in Lagos. They started in the north and spread to other parts of Nigeria, and then South Africa, and then England, and then the United States. So who bribed the protesters in J'burg and New York?

Who were the hired musicians? Banky W and Seun Kuti? If protesters are the unpatriotic Nigerians, then what does that make him and other criminals politicians? Among the unpatriotic Nigerians are the aforementioned plus Femi Falana, Dino Melaye, Wole Soyinka, and other supporters.

Once again, he has absolutely no clue what he's talking about. "Open mouth, talk, pray I make sense". GEJ, you never do.

well said. Thanks my dear.

^^ @pataki, well said jare!

He is obviously a basket mouth with a leaking brain! Someone should tell jona to forgo propaganda and he should do away with his mumu advisers!


Who bribed who in lagos during the occupynigeria protest in january? Ok,we were bribed with "pure water and gala" lol! Who bribed the people in kano, abuja, ibadan etc?

These people were shocked that, they couldn't manipulate people with money for the first time hence, the assertion that, lagos protest was staged!!!

What a grand cluelessness by a mad president!

its a scam. A reputable company or recruitment firm wont ask you for money. Never

7 years and still counting and no single ban yet! NEVER!

Ujujoan: I don't blame him!

When an ex-president desides to banter words with a useless street thug, what do you expect

Its OBJ's fault oo. He should have let the sleeping dog lie "jejely"

Reyginus: Tout looking for relevance. Mtchews

Who gave him the chance? OBJ!!!! And if you have an opportunity, won't you use it?

shadrach77: this guy is an idiot! he is only trying to use OBJ to relauch himself in the entertainment industry and he is doing so by deliberately over-reacting to OBJ's comment. He deserves to be ignored for as they say, silence is the best answer for a fool

Why did OBJ had to disrespect himself to the extent of raising a non-issue from 8years ago and allowing a nobody to insult him?

OBJ goofed! Forgiving spirit is far from OBJ!!!!!!

We ALWAYS over-do things in Nigeria!

Da gr8tosyn: Pips please stop insulting Edris Abdul Kareem, except you don`t know him, when he was the Singer you all can`t do without during the days of `Letter to Mr President` your parties and club, I don`t break bridges friends. Edris my fresh advice for you is to try do collabo with M.I or Jesse Jack up you come again in the industry you are gifted in your own way don`t mind haterz, it`s in the blood of Nigerianz.

Very good point! Don't mind those peeps that were insulting him

BeraBera: Shebi the guy jeejeelly dey on his own, Baba come still find him trouble. The best thing Baba should do now is to desist from responding to him unless he wants to tarnish his image. Let the raised dust settle please

God bless you.

tchaik: Hate Idris as much as you like; the guy said the truth!
IS NIGERIA BETTER OFF SINCE HE SANG JAGAJAGA?

Nice point !!! You be correct guy.

Abegi, make una free the guy joor! If OBJ nor provoke Eedris, hin go talk?

Haba!!!! Since 2004!! Obj nor dey forgive??

Is Eedris lying ni? Is Nigeria still not jagajaga?
