Can u imagine this? Over 120 bills the President has refused to assent to. Bills that would have benefited the poor masses. If they were bills to take loan or increase budget spendings, they will not take a day to be assented t0 by the President. There is God o!

kazman7:
Its obvious you have corruptly benefitted from this clueless government,...may God run your life and that of your offsprings the way GEJ has been running Nigeria,..keep mortgaging the future generations for a slice of potato

The good side of GMB is that he is an optimist and a great Islamic faithful. He loves his wife so much and he doesn't womanize, GMB is so emotional that he shed tears in 2011. Oh he is such a great man that has the interest of only our region (north) at heart.
The above is the good side of GMB
Mind you am a SHE not a HE

Demdem:
I simply don't get it.....why is Jonathan not signing bills and not giving reasons why he has refused to sign them?
[i]The NASS work hard[/I] and paid heavily to make laws only for the drunkard to allow it to waste away.
What a big shame.

TAN Ambassador on the payroll. Don't think like you know anything about GMB, u know nothing hommie. All what you said are mere speculations from Big-fat-bellies, friends of the FAILED, and CLUELESS government campaigning against a corruption-free Nigeria. We will surely vote them out of VILLA back to OTUOKE.......

Demdem:

Fool, so in ur daft state it's Jonathan that is working hard yet his administration has seen the number of innocent deaths that can only be compared to the one experienced during the civil war.

hizroyalflynes:
Take a survey and see which religion suffer d greater casualty when BH start ... Christians
D question u suppose to ask ur fast-leaching brain is will GEJ kill those that are likely to vote for him
Most of bokoharam captured area are areas u can find christians the most
Yet GEJ is annihilating them
How did Sanusi know that attack carried out on Kano mosque have been planned 2 months ago
When Christian were on the receiving end GEJ was nt dividing the ccountry, didn't show cluelessness that he can't curb d menace, none of Northern leaders or group advice christians to protect their self
To condemn BH act was even a problem
Nw their kinsmen are nw getting the dose of their own medicine
Nw noise every where

Movesz:
Nobody can impeach Gej

Bimpe29:
Except God.

Vicotex:
na gej send dem make dem go fvck without condom?

legendsilver:
With these I have a good reason to vote for him more.
At least, he can control his home and call his wife to other. Unlike GEJ that allows his wife to dictate for him.

Movesz:
so you mean God will come down and impeach Gej?

Kutunban:
ome people are not happy with some aspects of Jonathan and his response to the Boko Haram menace, not many people are blaming him for it. I think most Nigerians actually blame the opposition for it. Indeed, the opposition’s attempt to talk and act with selective amnesia over Boko Haram by giving the impression it all started with Jonathan, Nigerians know that it came to a head under President Umaru Yar’Adua when he attempted to put them down by humiliating them with extrajudicial killings, including the extrajudicial killing of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf. For some of us more informed, we know that it was this episode which was transmitted live around the world that later gave Boko Haram its international ‘credibility’ with Global Jihad, the platform under which it operates today.

There are those who look at the political situation now and think amongst the opposition are the sponsors of Boko Haram; there are those who think that Boko Haram is the military wing of the opposition and there are those who believe its present campaign is aimed at ensuring a Northern candidate emerges President in 2015 based on some medieval feudalist agenda that does not serve the interest of the ordinary Northerner or Nigerian, but an agenda that only serves the selfish interest of the same cast of characters that have been ruining the North and Nigeria with bad leadership since the beginning of time! Unfortunately, this is the nature of Nigerian politics where people routinely use their ethnic background and/or professed religion as some form of advantage and selling point in certain constituencies. Buhari has used his Hausa-Fulani ethnic card, his Northern origin and professed religion so effectively that he is today regarded as the biggest defender of Northern political interest as opposed to national interest. Being clearly the biggest beast in the opposition, his mentality is massively reflected in their response to national issues. For instance, in trying to cash in on the Boko Haram menace, the opposition has acted as though this national security issue is a Jonathan problem, rather than a national problem. Amongst them, Buhari has been most vocal in his anti-Jonathan and anti-government stance, which some people are interpreting, rightly or wrongly, as a pro-Boko Haram stance. His antecedents do not help. His loss during the last presidential election led to killings and disturbances up North that claimed over a thousand lives, including the lives of many young members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and people haven’t forgotten that this is something he’s yet to condemn till this day.

He has continued to make inciting statements unlike a statesman over the forthcoming election, apart from being one of the loudest voices against government’s approach to the Boko Haram crisis when he says things like government should stop killing Boko Haram members and when he criticizes the army and so on. Unfortunately for him, this is going to be the overall focus of electoral choice. It is my desire that Buhari will lose, because not many Nigerians trust him as a statesman, not many Nigerians think he would do enough to keep Nigeria secular, democratic and united. He’s been contesting for over a decade yet you can’t get anything by way of policy from him or ideas on national security or the economy. Listening to him talk and articulate his ‘vision’ is a painful exercise. He does not have it and there’s no surprise there. He knew very little when he came in as head of state and he’s done nothing since then to show he’s educated or improved himself.

Now, some are blabbing that if Buhari comes in as President, corruption and embezzlement in high places would come to an end. But I think this is like expecting snow in the desert. That reality does not exist now or in the future, because the reality of who Buhari is has been shown to us through his real actions, not by the pictures and images being put out there by his spin-doctors and uncritical supporters. Let me start with the scandal of the N2.8 billion NNPC money that got stolen under his watch as Petroleum Minister and head of NNPC in 1978? Let’s bear in mind that the value of that money in hard currency at the time was more than $3 billion. Under intense public pressure, the Shehu Shagari government, which shortly took over thereafter from the military, set up a Senate probe which traced the money to a London Midland Bank account belonging to Buhari from where the money again got missing. No less than a person of the then Senate Majority Leader and Chairman of the Senate probe panel, Dr Olusola Saraki revealed this in an interview with Vera Ifudu of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). When Ifudu reported this, she was clandestinely sacked by the NTA, but the lady went to court and presented all the evidence and won in a case of wrongful dismissal. Saraki till his death never denied what he told the lady. In the end, they settled Ifudu with a big payout.

For those insulting the northerners not all of us are gullible please, so we need more respect and stop the so called ethnic mentality discrepancies and make your criticism from a political point of view and not religious or ethnic. Thank you
Up GEJ till 2019

lonelydora:
Apostle Suleiman's prophecy comes to mind.

If it happens to GEJ, that would be the end of Nigeria.

Soso990240:

Bimpe29:
Come on! He does not need to come down.

OchukoisBlack:
Points raised are all valid points, but given the calibre of people we have as legislators (greedy thief's), I bet nothing will happen. This won't see the light of day.

Movesz:
let me in alittle more on how God will impeach Gej..when he put him in the position in the 1st plc...or are you saying God was on tour during the last elections that made Gej presido?

angelsing:
Guy u just killed me with laughter....hahahahahahahah

When ever I see this heated argument about GEJ and GMB on Nairaland or Facebook, it reminds me of the relentless and meaningless arguments at Newspaper stands.
Although I never came to this world when GMB ruled Nigeria, I might have read enough histories. Again, I have grown up well during the reign of Obj, Yar'Adua and GEJ; have followed the happenings in Nigeria for long; was even a JDPC election observer in 2007; followed closely the scope of terrorism globally.
In all my analysis and findings, I judge GEJ (and late Yar'Adua) as better in history; I see divine providence in his emergence in governance of this great nation. He has not done the best expected of him, but cannot be compared with any of the past leaders.

Meanwhile Nigeria must be better, even as I suggest we keep praying for those loosing there lives to terrorism globally. BH has same ideology with Al-shabab, ISIL, Al-qaeda, etc; and perhaps we know that Nigeria is not as sophisticated as those countries involved.
Also we should pray for both the foolish and the innocent ones that would be the sacrificial lambs after the ignominious defeat of 2015.

God bless Nigeria!
God bless Nigerians!
