I don't think they have facts before insulting the president, but here in 9ja we have solid facts.

You know what guilty conscience can do.

When has Kenya become a standard for African or World democracy? Obama and others are being insulted on daily basis, yet followers of the clueless President rather take example from bastardised societies like North Korea and Kenya. Our fundamental Human Right is inalienable, Jonathan or any leader isn't doing us any favor. We own the country! To hell with Human Right abusers

I must say that you're a mediocre...You should castigate the Kenyan President for arresting someone for speaking his mind in a Democratic Government instead of coming here to score cheap political points for GEJ. How did GEJ give us liberty in a Democratic Government? Are we not supposed to have liberty? Did he bring Democracy to Nigeria? Please bore me with something else.

seriously I didn't even post dis to focus on the Kenyan president I just want we Nigerians to see what other Governments are doing and maybe appreciate ours a little and stop the gazillion insults pouring on our presido....and our democracy here is different and better if not I can count the number of people that would have arrested or fined......and we can air our views and points without insults. undecided

What makes you think Kenya is a bastardised society? You should get some facts about a country before saying hateful things.
Just so you know insulting someone even a commoner is punishable by law, if you can provide evidence. So what was done to the person who insulted the president was within the law.
