These story is a fraud! Planted in the media.

Let us see the faces of the innocent people arrested and the so-called weapons.

Evaluation of a speech or or text can be done at different levels, based on different criteria,  linguistic and extra-linguistic.

And how well we it is done depends, to a very large extent, on the expertise and experience of is doing it.

So if at your own level you could not find anything wrong with the English, even after knowing all the contexts in which it was delivered, then it simply means we are not operating at same level of linguistic expertise and experience!.

Until there is 24/7 Electricity, people are right to criticise and ask questions. We are gradually being left behind by other countries, and there is a fear of the gap widening.

Maybe there is improvement in Lagos and Abuja, but I have been in the South South for some days, It has been a frustrating experience.

President JEG; In America alone, we have about 25,000 medical doctors that are from Nigeria and that is a society where if you treat somebody and something happens, you will be taken to court UNLIKE HERE THAT MEDICAL DOCTORS CAN KILL PEOPLE AND NOBODY CARES(emphasis mine)

Can it get any worse? Please tell!

A president of a country publicly telling the world in "a National Lecture: “Nigeria in Transformation” -----held at the INTERNATIONAL HALL OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (emphasis mine)" that in America, they take legal actions against doctors if ANYTHING happens to a patient as a result of a doctor's negligence, but in the very country where is the president and Commander-in-Chief, "MEDICAL DOCTORS CAN KILL PEOPLE AND NOBODY CARES"!

I never expected a president of a country to have lowered himself so badly, publicly, as to be expressing this kind of helpless, hopeless and empty lamentations that we ordinary citizens are reduced to making: 'this and that cannot happen in a developed country'!

I thought a president is beyond this pointless, useless whining.

I thought a president that is so much impressed by the system of a foreign country which ensures prosecution of negligent doctors should be seen (or in this case heard) either actually announcing the necessary steps he has taken taken to ensure things work as well in his country, or at the very least, pledging to take take those steps!

I thought it is ordinary people like you and me, the helpless lot, who are so much profoundly frustrated with our malfunctioning system, yet so severely limited in our ability to change things, who have the right to whine, and whine, and wish and pray that we get a leader who could help bring about the change we we so badly need, whereby negligent doctors could be prosecuted, for instance, as in the US?

I thought you and I are the ones who should be lamenting, as we always do, that in our country "medical doctors can kill people and no[b]body (or any part of the 'body', not even the sick, rotten and empty head of the body) cares"[/b]    

I think more and more people are now becoming convinced that we really have a terribly incompetent person at the helms.

With each passing day, GEJ makes us feel like we badly miss OBJ, who even at much older age, with those military dictatorial tendencies of his, and with no PhD, has proved to be much more coherent, more eloquent, more refined and MUCH MORE INTELLECTUALLY ROBUST!.

JEG: “A country (Nigeria) where we have good people in athletics, in academics, why can’t we fix our country and that is the kernel. If we have this people, fantastic people all over the world, medical doctors. In America alone, we have about 25,000 medical doctors that are from Nigeria and that is a society where if you treat somebody and something happens, you will be taken to court unlike here that medical doctors can kill people and nobody cares. They don’t employ butchers, they employ doctors. So, for us to have 25,000 medical doctors working there, that means we have the people”

The more GEJ talks (unscripted) IN ENGLISH, the less he would strike you as a PhD who spent years in the academia.

You do not need to be a linguist to be disappointed by the quality of his expressions in the above excerpt, both in form and content; hardly presidential, and even less intellectual.

I wish I could know how eloquent he is in IJAW!

How can there be quality healthcare when there's no stable power? How can there be quality education when there's no stable power? What other point do you need?
