Bill and Hillary Clinton admire Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan for different reasons

By The Associated Press – 3 days ago

Bill and Hillary Clinton both admire Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan — but for different reasons.

At a U.N. AIDS meeting Thursday, the former U.S. president shared the stage with the Nigerian leader, who was dressed in the traditional caftan and black bowler hat of his Niger Delta home.

Clinton congratulated Jonathan on his recent election.

"We wish you well," Clinton said. "I can tell you the secretary of state tells me your hats are always cool."

The ministers, diplomats, AIDS activists and VIPs at the meeting burst into laughter and then applauded loudly.

"And I envy your name," Clinton went on to more laughter. "If I'd had a name like Goodluck I might still be in office."

I wonder why Jonathan would have attended such a meeting. He should learn to delegate authority on all this American Idea to Discourage,

Kilishi abi na clinton was trying to tell Jonathan that a serious President don't attend such gathering,

But really where is he? the HIV seminar is over, the 30mins photoshoot with Obama is over, the usual meeting with some Elders in Chicago/Washington should be over Hope Dame Patience is not dragging him shopping for a mansion

You sound like GEJ employer oooooooooo

Amosun is broke

Nigeria to used as prototype for the government of anti-Christ? 666 will use money to control man and without that number you will not be able to buy and sell,

Anyway just accept Christ and be rapture so as to be free

Na wah ooooo.

Must I carry receipt for everything I carry about?

My brother, make God continue to protect us o jare. Just thank God that it is not more than that, What if they shoot you for carrying laptop about?

In everything make we thank God. May be you will not forget this experience if you end up like Jonathan,

;d ;d ;d ;d

;d ;d ;d

I wonder why he contested in the first place, Is he shouting because of the people or because of himself

Please give Mr. President this year to settle down in the office now!

By year 2012 he can start to put the house together to have a good look at the road map. He will have to use 2012 to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s.

And by year 2013, he can do some few things in preparation for the 2nd or 3rd term whichever is applicable.

So fellow Nigeria My President is seriously planning, Just support the next term

Another Poverty mentality,

Nigerians love celebrating the dead, Man leave the past to history and let us face the reality of the future.

If Abiola were the genius people claim , where are all his investments today! God just use him to cage Babangida as He is using Jonathan to cage Zoning agenda of the Northerners.

However, I for him.

When are Nigerians gonna stop dreaming? Undecided

I hear you, but it is this type of scaremongering that prevents folks from engaging with the democratic process.
So, let's accept that you've highlighted some valid security concerns.
What about taking the view that those same concerns ought to be addressed in any new process fashioned out? Huh

Do we continue to abnegate our civic responsibilities and allow some of the charlatans selected to define not only the present but our future as well?

Thanks for your understanding.

Fellow NL, Beware! Abioye could be one of those area boyz who sabi to browse ooo!!!

Please let him keep posting but it is better to ignore, he is suffering from poverty of intellect

Can Planning be done without adequate data? I doubt it.

This are the real poor that are protesting. You can see poverty written all over them,

Obe deeee

Become a volunteer Man 'O' War and you become very rich,

Cement is so expensive becase Mr. A. Dangote need more money,

useless country Angry Angry

Nigeria is still useful,

The NPF are useless

I have looked critically into so many reasons why many government in Nigeria over the time failed,

There is a fundamental issue that I see as hindrance to any successful government in Nigeria,

Credible data Base,  On this issue it is better late than never.  The journey of one million years must start with a step.

With the advent of New Technology, Nigeria should start building a strong database that will take into account of our real population, reflecting, the numbers of Nigerian children, aged, working age, school leavers, unemployed and of course extending to tracking rural/urban Migration.

It is possible, within 3 years this could be achieved,

Borrowing a leave from the developed countries, We can use that to build a strong social security system for the Nigerian Citizen,

What is your view?

The Federal Government has re-affirmed its commitment to repairing all federal roads in Lagos State.

Now we can begin to See the real impact of Fashola Administration,

To continually empower the Asiwaju ,

When Nigeria Police start to treat all Criminal equal, Nigeria is moving

Bankole is not better than and Armed robber, he should not be giving any media coverage better than that of Anini.

Swimming in the ocean of fantasies,

Bankole is reaping the reward of his hypocrisy,

That is why it is always good to come to equity with clean hands,

A lesson here is that to be a leader that can  fight corruption you must be seen above board,

A good leader must be ready to say do as I do and not do as I say,


so @ poster: I would suggest you keep quiet, else you make us believe you are a thief yourself,

Policeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Politic is dirty because Power corrupts,

If this is true, why were they Kidnapped?

However, this Ibo boys have began to draw business out of the riot incident that Government takes responsibility for Copers to the tune of N5M each, Now the Ibos must be thinking 5 x 5M = N25M

A beg make them peg service until Nigeria find her feet ,

Blessed are those who does not hope for they shall not be disappointed 

This information should have been power to the people, but Considering the danger attached to it due to  the breakdown in law and order in Nigeria, it is not.

Today's Politicians are deadly. These politicians are ready to kill anyone standing their way. And the truth is that our law enforcement agents only pay lip service to common man protection. Money is the order of the day, This people in question are most time richer than their constituencies.

Please my fellow NL, if you will do this always take precaution, discuss with a trusted elder of your community,  and do not champion the course, let the elders come to the forefront as it might be too dangerous for young people to achieve,

No law in Nigeria is protecting common man oooo,  A word is enough for the wise

Nigeria has become a Private business of these shareholder, GEJ the Chairman

I am beginning to suspect PHCN as another means just discover for extortion of the masses. I think what should be address first is how money is spent. Especially preventive measure for embezzlement.

Tax should cover some of this cost and there would be no need for increase in tariff.

However, if increasing the tariff will provide us with power. We will pay as we have been doing. But if the system still did not work?

I would like to suggest making money by killing your cockroaches.

How? Learn how to make an insecticide, use some to kill your cockroaches and sell to those who have similar problem.

Go to Ojota ask for where those Chemicals are sold, learn how to mix them,

It is cheaper as you can control the qualities you want,

You may brand your own insecticide " Cockroachomicide"

Idea that pays for your effort,
