Those behind the 'GEJ is an Ineffectual Buffoon' and Buhari is even worse' hit piece in @TheEconomist: Eleanor Whitehead Tolu Ogunlesi
https://twitter.com/MrAyeDee/status/693011514043666432

While praising PB's admin publicly, in articles by 'anonymous' in @TheEconomist he calls him an idiot who hasn't learnt a thing in 30+ years

When I first made the impression here that APC were behind that article, some thought I was playing. No wonder the ministry of information has more allocation than ministry of agriculture in Buhari's budget.

Someone is pissed at the many international accolades GEJ has been getting since he left office. smh

Propaganda can not sustain this administration. We can't be distracted while the economy is already crippled. We demand change not chains and more propaganda from Buhari and Apc.

Aisha's Rice plus Lai's 39 billion at work.

So even Tolu is affected by the crude economics tactics, while praising Buhari's policies, he writes articles under "anonymous" and refers to his principal as an "idio.t" who has learnt nothing in 30+ years.

Little wonder for the many years of president Buhari rearing cattle he can only boast of 150 cattles.

Let them continue. Their shenanigans obviously does not get to Jonathan. Jonathan never ever dignifies with a response. The man continues to get international recognition and award.

Very very!


Laslasticlala, OAM4j. Pls do your verications and act accordingly. Apc is continuing in their campaign of calumny even after elections are over. No wonder the Ministry of Infos budget is almost double the size of education and agriculture ministries.

Oga, please try and also 'fish out' the person/people behind the article in the same mag that attacked Buhari's ecomic policies. Make you kuku balance the equation na, abi? cheesy I think Aye Dee may be the author of that one, or what do you think? cheesy
Re: ''Tolu Ogunlesi Wrote "The Economist" Article Calling GEJ ineffectual Buffoon'' by nnachukz(m): 11:33am On Jan 29, 2016
So soon did the promise of change suddenly became a promise of chain. APC and their propaganda will never save us only the truth will.

Now you will see why 39 billion was budgeted for Liar Muhammed.

There is a rule on Nairaland that clearly state that, a Nairalander shouldn't spread false information. Now, there is no evidence that Tolu Ogunlesi sponsored that article or even made contributions to it. Just because Mr. AyeDee says he did, doesn't make it true.

Seun, Mynd44, lalasticlala, Obinoscopy, this is character assassination on the person of Tolu Ogunlesi. Therefore, this thread should be closed ASAP.

Huge allocation to the Ministry of lie and propaganda.

In recent time in Nigeria...

Please try to use your BRAINS. There were more than a thousand words in that article which was actually critical of some Buhari policies. Only a few lines were devoted to Jonathan .
The whole point of the article was to persuade Buhari to take some economic policies and not to insult Jonathan. If only one sentence is the thing rankling you guys then maybe it is true that Jonathan really is an ineffectual buffoon
Re: ''Tolu Ogunlesi Wrote "The Economist" Article Calling GEJ ineffectual Buffoon'' by Progressive01(m): 11:41am On Jan 29, 2016
Goodluck Jonathan is an Unrepentant Ineffectual Buffoon. grin


Oya, Ekpas should criticise Progressive01.

What does it matter if a Tolu wrote it?? Last time I checked, one Kayode and one Fayose were the biggest critics of President Muhamadu Buhari. grin

Wailers finally found what would keep them busy for the next 1week. grin

I bet they had NO IDEA how it feels when they call Buhari all those unprintable names.

Una never see anything yet. grin
Re: ''Tolu Ogunlesi Wrote "The Economist" Article Calling GEJ ineffectual Buffoon'' by BushidoBlue(m): 11:42am On Jan 29, 2016

Anyway, I whistle away.

It is soooooo funny seeing these Wailing Cankerworms and Voltrons for the sleaziest characters in Nigeria fall over themselves trying to defend Ineffectual Buffoons.

Anyone who feels slighted can sue the paper. grin

Nevertheless, the word is already out on the street and oooh, how it would stick!! cheesy

Mr Brain user, even ordinary punctuation marks can change the meaning of a whole article. That sentence alone destroyed whatever the writer intended to achieve with the article. He is learned enough to know the effect of putting such words into his article. So it is not a mistake rather a deliberate insult on the person of the former President.

You show us 5 tweets by notorious PDP supporters and you call it evidence and a justification of your baseless claim that APC wrote the article.

Do you think the Economist is Biafra Times or Anambra Chronicle that can act so unprofessionally?

They have made their point very clear. Based on all the evidence available, Jonathan is an ineffectual Buffoon. If you gont like it, go and locate a lagoon close to you

So, Aye Dee is now a credible source that can confirm who wrote an article in The Economist, a media organisation that has a no name policy?

You wailers can continue to wail from now till eternity, it doesn't change the fact that GEJ is an ineffectual buffoon who looked away when billions of dollars was stolen by his crooked aides. If you guys want to pick a fight, go straight and challenge The Economist and stop dragging Tolu Ogunlesi into your woes.

Labour ministry budget under Buhari- N7 billion

Information and Propaganda ministry Budget under Buhari- N30 Billion

Buhari is more interested in creating propaganda than in creating jobs.

Hehehehe! He just added one more to his collection : The Ineffectual Buffoon Award.
I guess Tola Ogunlesi also called Goodluck Jonathan "Chauncey Gardiner."
