They are not important o, they are haters, they should decamp if they want (and dare to), their seats will be declared vacant, GEJ for life or till year 2099, e015 is settled

So why are you begging behind the scenes whist your "new" supporters who weren't there when these people installed you, are insulting everyone and making you enemies? Shut up the noise-makers and realise they are your worst enemies

NDDC is NOT the FG, finish!

Based on its funding, it is 15 percent FG!

So the best anybody can say is that 15 percent of its work is attributable to the FG! Even then, based on its independence in budgeting and planning, it cannot be seen as belonging to the executive just as the NASS isn't the executive!

Funnier still, is the idea of using such as 6 unit classroom blocks as a boast of what the Giant of Africa's govt sees as progress - as has been pointed out, this thread doesnt help GEJ's case at all

This is why social media and criticism is important in our polity! Its obvious he isn't going to starve and the saved money can be applied elsewhere!

I praise him for being responsive - this is listening and harkening to the society! This is just one issue but if he can do such with other burning issues, Nigerians will give him their support!

Plus tell the "dogs" to allow criticism show you what Nigerians want!

Wish APC would pit him against GEJ in 2015! Then we'll see who really is seen as a performer by the south south

ba7man: This is not an intelligent reply from you. You're capable of better analysis.

Sincere9gerian starts to disappoint! at least he used to offer reasonable arguments (that showed an analytic thought process) before! Now, everything is excuses and Tinubu or Buhari!

Hubris !

Sincere 9gerian: What is this PDP? Is PDP a living matter that is governing Nigeria by itself? Is PDP synonymous with Jonathan? Is PDP not a group of people who decided to call themselves PDP? And if these same group of people or some of them decides to call themselves APC tomorrow, what difference does it make?

If you change the name "Nigeria" to "United States of America", will that amount to any change in the life of you and I? Will that automatically bring progress and development? Will that usher in the era of stable power supply? Will that make the geographical location previously known as Nigeria transform to the United States Of America that you and I know?

I think, if you and I are to be sincere, the current happening in the polity should sadden the hearts of all those who have previously campaigned for APC as the change we need. But if you think that Jonathan is the problem with Nigeria and that removing him thru any means possible is the objective, then I wish you goodluck.

Goodluck Jonathan didn't start the descent of Nigeria! And in fairness to him, he's NOT the problem as a person!

However, he has refused to do anythingabout the continued descent and in fact, his ignoring the corruption and tribal problems that are worsening, are making the problem even more worrisome!

And it has gotten to such a point that left to fester untended as is the case now, Nigeria will soon sink! Those who formed APC and are coming together now against him should be applauded, because maybe what will make him sit up and get NIGERIANS on his side is fear of being disgraced out of office either via impeachment or 2015 elections!

It may not be good for GEJ, but Nigerian leaders may need to see one of them kicked out to sit up and fight for the approval of NIGERIANS, rather than that of the cabals who have hitherto "crowned" them!

And frankly, it serves GEJ right that his enablers become his nemesis! He preferred them to us when the going was good

This will be sad if true! Abacha has risen again naim be that

GEJ got to power standing on the shoulders of the IBBs, OBJs and such like of this society! However, power intoxicated him and he decided to not only break the agreement he had with them, but also to "FEEL" that the presidents seat makes him an untouchable emperor! Well, news flash - the presidency is NOT untouchable! That is the lesson he's been given now! Even worse, he became anti-people and also started saying stuff like a section of the country is his support and constituency! That alienated swathes of Nigeria!

Now, those who carried him into power want him out and they are master negotiators! Plus they are ready to sacrifice, make (and keep) agreements and can be trusted to keep their words. And its so easy for them to get support - all they need do is point out how EVERYTHING including honor, truth and even decency have been subsumed by an inordinate ambition to stay in power at all costs regardless of the effect on Nigerians! Also, the attitude of a meddling insultive madam GEJ and the attack goats and pigs has further alienated him from everyone who he needed!

2014 will see him lose more ground and likely capitulate! Else he will likely, not only lose 2015, but also find they will still go after him after that!

Those here who insult everyone for not supporting him should realise that they too are just alienating people further

So, from January 6th, the refrain will become "Doctors should not be paid", "Opposition has bribed them", "Born to rule has entered their minds", "its because he's a minority" etc!

These won't be liked by anyone who wants his tribesman to have an easy time regardless of whathappens to Nigeria! However, any patriot will see beneath the questions and realise that such will compel better decision making, higher standards and force government officials to start to fear!

For God's sake, these are "representatives" of Nigerians and these questions (the few selected above by previous posters are admirable) concern us - why chevrolets? Why outsource ICT work? Etc

I love this concept and hope they get to summoning her/others monthly and grilling them like this

In a mature society, this would be funny! Unfortunately, those you are poking fun at have no sense of humor and are very touchy!

Its the same way OBJ wrote and the cowards replied by using his daughter's name that I expect something like this thread to go ... a very childish self-serving rebuttal that will further inflame passions of hatred and ethnic bashing

Idiotic post! So when he was in PDP, he was a model citizen, right? But in just these few days he joined another party, he has given all the state funds to them! And he probably kept all the cash all those years just to give to APC, right?

You people are all ready to sacrifice Nigeria on the altar of your selfish interests and every lie, trick or evil idea be damned!

@OP: This is so wrong! We call asari Dokubo a dumb goat for his statements inciting trouble between ethnicities! So there's no choice but to call you same!

All you web warriors making noise have never seen a bullet strike someone or known what its like to see a future wasted because of wound trauma! Unfortunately, we have a C-in-C who refuses to realise that true leaders sacrifice their ambitions for their people! Mandela did it and is revered today! Sadly, what we have here is a man that would rather thousands of his people die rather than go home and enjoy the billions the past years have accrued to him!

Whether web warrior or government official, all of you directly or indirectly responsible for the suffering of innocents will never know peace!

If she wrote it, it serves her father right!

Yet, its truly a family and private affair since both are civilians NOT in government! Aside from the scandal value, its meaningless and outside the purveiw of the public!

Still, God will continue to humiliate all those who have been destroying Nigeria! I wish God ups it and has them sent to jail or worse

prophylaxis: brilliant ke dt niggar came out wv a third class n belong to d vikings back n d day, presently he is a pyrate. Na those kind ppl we need as president?

Soyinka also had a 3rd class! Did that make him dumb?

Many dull/average (and unimaginative) students cram and spend all their time immersed in books whist the truly intelligent are the rebels who truly get an education because they get involved in all sorts of adventures (some bad - like cults) and spend probably 30% of their time with books!

It is now, outside in the real world, that you find the natural gift revealed and in that real world, Soyinka got a Nobel prize and Amaechi stands out amongst his peers, not because of his position but because of how he's been handling it

Assume Iyabo wrote it - so what? How is that a national issue?

This is not what we as Nigerians should be bothered about - aside from the scandal "noise" value, its private business between a man and his daughter!

Its the one written to GEJ that matters and after this is forgotten, it will definitely return to the public space!

I just hope those celebrating remember that with this Iyabo - OBJ missive, GEJs enemies are simply increasing! OBJ has never shown shame and I doubt he has anything to lose! GEJ on the other hand.. ...

OBJ has always been a controversial figure who doesnt give a rat's nostril whatever anyone thinks of him! in a case like this, he's probably (thru his oracle) discovered who wrote the letter!

those celebrating ought consider - its all going to fall on GEJ's head and OBJ wont take prisoners - when his vengeance comes, you all wont like it

I wish Amaechi would run for president! This is the type of forward looking, brilliant person Nigeria needs in the seat of the president - very aware, forward looking, precise and modern in approach!

PDP versus PDP!

Very nice! However, if this did come from the presidency, they should expect OBJ's vengeance!

All the better for Nigeria and Nigerians! Those celebrating this purpoted insult from his daughter should remember this only adds to GEJ's woes and enemies!

God really is showing love for us - make dey send assassins and kill themselves (not just letters) so a responsible government comes

Sincere 9gerian: APC can send its agents anywhere in the country. Most of the gas pipelines and power plants are located in the Niger Delta anyway.

So why doesn't PDP and GEJ send its own agents there to protect them? You, as an example - wouldn't you be more gainfully employed holding a Dane gun or catapult guarding power installations than haranguing everyone here with these lies and excuses?

Or PDP agents prefer crude oil bunkering and so you all refuse to go guard power facilities? GEJ should have you tied to a sensitive electrical item, maybe a transformer!

The very fact that the vandalism is happening in your principals strongholds suggests the exact opposite of your "suspicion"! It seems its pro-govt characters (probably including yourself) that are damaging the gas lines in a bid to make excuses for the glaring failure of power improvement!

Else why aren't other regions having vandalism and why has nobody been caught or reported by the "good citizens" who see opposition in every dream yet are supposed agents of "transformation"

If Jonathan would just work for Nigerians rather than preside over a graft ridden government, allowing thieves and pen-robbers to go Scot-free in exchange for "support" towards 2015, people would support and fight for him!

However, an insensitive, polity-heating, clannish governance style has turned people against him and its those he saw as important to his ambitions that are now striving with him!

Whether people say bad about OBJ now or not has no impact! He's not contesting and has little to lose! But GEJ cannot say the same and the more he allows all sorts to insult the growing army of enemies he's daily gaining, the worse his situation will become

People like sincere 9gerian are more enemy than friend to him!

Igbos should NOT remain subservient! However, there also is no need for war! All that is required is co-operation and diplomacy with other tribes so that they can fully be integrated into the Nigerian state!

No point lying - they have been marginalized! That's the truth! But many Igbos haven't helped matters with fighting everyone!

The case of the Ijaws is also the same - warfare isn't a game of monopoly or ludo and nobody knows where twill end! If we were discussing fighting for the interest of someone who was really catering to their interest, one would understand but as it is, its ridiculous to imagine sensible people wanting to risk death of their family members over GEJ!

@lyng19: kudos

when did "former federal minister" become a current title like Dr, Mr, etc?

This country never ceases to amuse


nuclearboy
former observer of a ridiculous society

So now the problem is that obasanjo is/was also corrupt

When Bakare spoke, he was a fake (and almajiri) pastor

When Soyinka spoke, he wasn't honoring another man's wife

When NLanders speak, they are haters or Tinubu slaves

Summary - nobody must criticise or speak against Jonathan or else, they will be disqualified by dint of being human and thus not being perfect!

aventura: If you didn't read post, just try and read it. I know it's long but so many things we did not know was exposed in this letter.

for him to effectively say this is "like", the mind of IBB and Abdulsalam, its obvious this is a warning AND declaration of war passed across politely!

I keep wondering - how does someone start with so much support and hope reposed in him yet manage to destroy it all so quickly?

I almost feel sorry for the man - add this to the pressures he's been under and sleep (and peace of mind) cannot be easy

OBASANJO started the agricultural transformation! He also started the power sector reforms and built almost all the new power stations!

Jonathan has eagerly jumped to claim the progress in those areas! But the issues of BH and ASUU which are challenges, he has deftly step-sided and wishes to play victim over!

That's duplicity and Nigerians can see past such - we are not fools!

If you glorify in the good from previous governments, you also should accept the not so good, not moan and weep when its convenient yet believe anyone will accept your excuses

Well,at least this shows even Jonathan's greatest fans KNOW he can't wear Mandela's shoes in the eyes of Nigerians!

Which doesn't take away their own right to see him as special (at least to them)!

This thread gives a clear picture of Jonathan's popularity and what Nigerians truly think about him!

We can see clearly what 2015 portends for him IF rigging isn't employed!

Yet the reality is "How are the mighty fallen" - 2 years ago, the story was so different yet the misuse of tribal and ethnic affections has turned someone thought to represent change into an object of hatred and ridicule

PointB: Nice piece. But it still does not diminish the fact that Fani 'Ode, just like Junaid and Kiata are bunch of attention seekers who represent themselves and a few who deluded folks who worship them. If there is anything they should share, it is a cell in jail for actions bordering on hate and incitement.

You forgot to include Asari Dokubo in your list of attention seekers!

or he isn't an attention seeker because he's on "your side"?

Government should quickly tuck tail between legs and do what they ought b4 this takes a dangerous turn!

This progression can stop the country on a dime if allowed to continue

Sincere 9gerian: Who is this attention seeking tribalistic goat? Cant you make your comment without insults? Anyway, IGNORE mode activated!

Yep, he was kind of aggressive (which you have balanced back) but his questions are potent - where do you get tens of thousands of Ph.Ds and professors who have experience in university curriculum? And HOW LONG will it take to get them? And whist getting these "lecturers in the clouds", what happens to the universities?
