Jonathan Urges Nigerian Youths To Manufacture Weapons Instead Of Staying Idle by prettyjennifer(op):
In an apparent bid to address the high rate of unemployment in the country, President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians youths to lay their hands on manufacturing weapons instead of staying idle.

The incumbent President made this statement today while campaigning in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.

“Why can’t we manufacture weapons? Those who manufacture these things are not angels. They are human beings like us,” Jonathan said while promising the cheery crowd that his government is determined to train Nigerian in the areas of Science and Technology.

Jonathan, who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in next month’s presidential polls, also stated that: “We want to train Nigerians that will change this country in terms of science and tech. We’ve already started”.

While urging the electorates to re-elect him for another four years, the incumbent President stated that the “PDP is the only party that has shown commitment to develop the Nigerian youths”.

In his own words: “Our priority is to build schools not prisons.This is the only administration that is ready to give any position, including the one I’m asking for, to the women.”

President Jonathan also stated that one of his dreams is to witness a situation whereby a Nigerian woman would become the president of the country.

He said: “I would want to see a female President in my lifetime”.

Below are all the comments of Mr President as tweeted by his Special Adviser on New Media, Reno Omokri.

So you guys like the way we beg US and other nations for weapons

I don't blame you guys but the wrong orientation you guys have about being in opposition party.

You APC guys fail to understand that opposition doesn't mean you oppose every ideal of the ruling party


If truly GEJ made this comment, thumbs up to him


I say enough of our overdependence on foreign weapons


Say Yes To Indigenous Weapons cool

u are ill, u want every nigeria youth to be manufacturing guns and be worst than the gun possesion by civilians which usa is battling with. Us refusal to sell gej arms is because he has lost integrity, why do you think usa also refuse to buy his oil
Re: Jonathan Urges Nigerian Youths To Manufacture Weapons Instead Of Staying Idle by amakaobiemeka: 10:05pm On Jan 16, 2015
i knew gej is clueless, i just only thought it was just a pathetic word to mock him. But really this guy has no brain or common sense. Nigeria is doomed. How would a slowpoke urge youths to be making weapons. Ask usa what it is experiencing as a result of this

The issue of local manufacturing of weapon is not what someone should be propagating at a campaign ground where lots of the audience may read another meaning to it.



The govt should set the ball rolling by making all the necessary step on how to go about it not by calling every dick, Bleep and headie to start manufacturing weapons.
Re: Jonathan Urges Nigerian Youths To Manufacture Weapons Instead Of Staying Idle by dre11(m): 10:21pm On Jan 16, 2015
We should start manufacturing weapon to do what










We haven't manufacture self we know the menace it has caused and how people abuse it

People like you who know next to nothing come online to talk trash

Do you know that stern gun used by the allied troops during WW2 was developed by a man in his kitchen.

After developing it, he sold to the British government , who gave out the contract of mass production to a toy factory

My guy, there is nothing wrong if ordinary citizens can develop prototypes of ingenious weapons and sell it to the ministry of defense for mass production


Please ask questions before you talk cool

You are an 1diot for that insult and a complex m0ron for comparing Nigeria to Britain at this period of time.




Weapon manufacturing is not what you discuss with Touts, thieves and criminals and expect a safe and descent society.

GEJ should be impeach!

This man have no idea of how protect the life and property of Nigerians.

Can you point out the insult

You see the problem with you guys cool


For your information, we are waging a treacherous war and our traditional allies have now abandoned us

My guy, if I can develop a fighter jet, I will gladly do and sell it to the government to mass produce it using Innoson facility


At least it will help our government in the war against BH and preserve lives. cool

A good citizen strive to help the government solve the problem facing the nation cool

No

But sorry if you think so

Now read the modified post and see the perceptive I am coming from.

Some of the negative comments I'm seeing here are completely unnecessary. From what I can read there, the president is just saying that we should be making our own weapons (and I agree).

I think the news headline doesn't really match the content. Topic should read more like "President Jonathan Canvasses Local Production of Weapons".
Re: Jonathan Urges Nigerian Youths To Manufacture Weapons Instead Of Staying Idle by T9ksy(m): 10:48pm On Jan 16, 2015
I guess this is the clueless one's solution to the security problem currently bedeviling the country-manufacture our own

weapons? Calling him a m.o.r.o.n is a gross understatement.

GEJ promised to train d youths in d area of science and technology. How true is this? When he GEJ allowed corruption to increase to unimaginable level. Allowed higher institutions in this country to go on strike for 11 months. Lol.. GEJ has outlived his usefulness on that seat. GEj talks anything to win election. But d more he talks, the more he shows d emptiness in him.

God bless you

They accuse him of not arming the boys, which he is doing but frustrated by some neocolonial powers

Now he is trying to encourage indigenous weapons production, they are still opposing him.

These internal colonial masters won't rest until GEJ is out which is impossible. cool
