ifeci: Yes indeed! we have produced the richest Farooks, Otedolas & Diezani Allison Madueke in the last few years & with the widening gap between the rich and the poor; I believe thats what you mean by 7%!

well if you read a little margazine called forbes you'll see the people listed there are hard working nigerians who earned their money and your entire premise of rising inequality is shambolic, read all the global reviews, nigeria is gradually growing africa's largest middle class. Yes, poverty is still in existence just like in other countries, we just need to continue our work even better to continue raising the poor in middle class and subsequently create a safety net for the poor. And by the way to luminate you a little. 7% growth rates does'nt have anything to do with inequality, it's a thing called GDP.

"Gary the goat shall not be used as a scape goat." thank God he won!!

Today nigeria is the second largest economy on the african continet enjoying nearly 7% growth rate, something western nations will kill for, and we're projected to be the largest by 2025 if current power supply efforts are achieved. Hillary clinton has hinted that preliminary considerations are being made for nigeria's admission into the G20. Nigeria has one of the fastest rising middle class in africa with car sales going through the roof, extra expenses on luxuries like malls,cinema,parks and many others are rising fast prompting more companies to troop in. Procurement of condo's and properties are at an all time high. You can bash jonathan as you like cause you're entitled to your own opinion but not your own fact, and these are the facts!!!!!

truth4meal: seriously can we just put this "major" achievements of GEJ in variance with that of Buhari in less than two years - maybe major achievements will have a proper meaning because so far these listed "achievements" is nothing but crumbs.

your insensitivity is stunning and your denial just plain foolish!! You call nigeria becoming thae second largest economy in africa crumbs? You want to compare an almost 7% growth rate to "war against indiscipline"? In the last few years nigeria has produced the richest black man and women and some of the richest individuals on the continet because of how dynamic and freew our economy is now. You want to compare that with the communist state buhari dreamth for nigeria. It's either you're ignorant to what you said or you're just plain dumb. One is offended.

Personification of love for thy fatherland!!!!

Kamanda: she was simply listing terrorist networks in africa when asked by senator Joystick durbin(D).. Kai this NL word sensor na wao.Haba Senator D-ick is now Senator Joystick.

:Dvery funny!! The word sensor is wack. The guys name is dic.k durbin.

Kamanda: Pls! Beaf,insincere9gerian,Deri,Ifihearam etc etc get a real job.Dana Air is recruiting.

your post was senseless on so mant levels..think before commenting!! Pillock!!

Yeah, keep building malls cause that's where the average "mama nkechi" or "papa bornboy" will go shopping for their food. Please governour, rather use that money to produce water for your people so they'll stop drinking from streams, address the erosion peopls so people won't continue loosing their lands. Leave mall building for the private sector, develop your populace and when they've got money to spend malls will flood your state.

In every country on earth, nigerian prisoners are always present. And the foreign ministry,embassies or high commissions are'nt doing anything to quell courtail this embarrasment. Some better teach this guys their jobs.

"Mr president" because it had always been my dream to become president and be that knight in shinning amour who will save this nation!!

From this pictures i really don't think the farmilies of the crash victims who are no doubt rich are the once protesting, they can easily sue dana's ass. The protesters are farmilies of folks on the ground who died and owners or residents of buildings and factories destroyed when the plane crashed.

North korea is bitting more than it can chew. They think they are untouchable because of their outdated soviet era weaponry. If not for global controversy that backward country would have been history by now.

alexis: The issue is about Gays and the Bible stand on it. The pastor has come out to speak on it and condemn it unlike the thousands of clergy men in the West that are trying to be politically correct and keep quiet. Not corruption in Nigeria. You can open a thread on that and the pastor supposedly corruption issue you mentioned as well.

Gays have a right to life, love and live like everyone else - no doubt about it. However, the Bible stand is firm on the issue. IT DOESN'T SUPPORT IT.

yes, the bible also talks about stoning the adulterous why is'nt it done today? The bible talks about capital purnishment of death for not obeying the sabath, the talks alot about the death penalty for lots of things. Why is'nt that being done today? Why cherry picking the things you like(anti-gay) and ignoring the things you want to avoid( death penalty).

Roland17: He looked bewildered with the courage Amanpour displayed asking critical questions, these are the sort of question a president should be subjected to and not a Dbanj styled interview.

I watched the senate hearing where the US secretary of state included Boko Haram as an emerging terrorist threat to the peace in Nigeria and their influence in the unrest in Northern Mali and also questioning the strategy being used by the Federal Government to contain them, but of course Odechukwu claim's his strategy is containing Boko Haram , its obvious his strategy for tackling BH is not working, the wrong people are maimed.

Although i am not resident in Nigeria but i do not need a soothsayer to tell me power is not stable, massive corruption and embezzlement by PDP and its cronies is killing our country..

Odechukwu did not disappoint me with this Interview...

what a disgusting lie! Thank God their are still fact-checkers around. Hillary rodham clinton never questioned the ability of the nigerian government to contain boko haram she was simply listing terrorist networks in africa when asked by senator dick durbin(D)...i guess the comment just the way she said it was'nt sweet enought you have to garnish it with some lies so the jab at jonathan will be swiff!! Try again cause i gotta ya!!

WilliamCee: I'm not impressed at all, was dat our president talking,

Where is d confidence, i mean have U seen obama speaking or infact did U watch his innugural speech few days ago...

I cant even believe i even woke my dad to come and watch d interview.

Funny enough, Amanpour asked him about electricity, guess ya'all heard his reply,

Funny enough, there was no light, i watched with generator.

#notimpressed

you keep sounding dim by bringing up obama!! What happened to his inuargral speech? How hard is it to read from a teleprompter? Go and watch his interviews on meet the press, nbc, abc and from occasional white house press conferences and you'll see him mubbling, stamering, thinking for an extended peroid of time before answering a question, he has even refused giving an interview to fox news cause he knows if he does, they'll embarrase him momentously with their questions. One is not impressed by you comment mister!

Prof Corruption: We can certainly do better than this GEJ.

so mr armchair expert, what's the glorious alternative? Please introduce us to that knight in shinning amour who will swoop in a change nigeria overnight. We're most anxious!!

ballabriggs: Why do they not steal oil in the North Sea like they do in Nigeria? Simple, the state is weak, it cannot police its assets, it cannot police its borders and so the easy way out is to deny responsibility by pointing at the "international community". What a deluded Mofo.

It is your misery, the International community benefits from it, will not say anything and so you have to tackle it. My backyard for Pitakwa done scatter finish and we have to wait for international community? Deluded

oil is not stolen from the north sea and from other countries because they have "patriots" protecting them. People who won't compromise their country for everything. But here, nigerians are greedy, "patriotism" is a rarity in nigerians. The security forces stationed in the creeks to stop this, are'nt they taking bribe and allowing the thieves free access? Do you think one president will wave a magic wand and this country will change. If you want to see the reason for nigeria's problems to and buy a mirror.

ilugunboy: This is what you get when you elevate people way beyond what their mental capacity can cope with....

I shudder at the thought of having this man around as the President for more few years..

yeah, senseless comments like this is what you get when a person with a low mental faculty is given access to a forum like this.
I shutter at the taught of your continous stay here and your endless supply of these brainless comments.

darmie x: generally, i think Jonathan needs to go to a finishing school to learn poise and carriage.

and maybe you need to go to school to learn respect and common sense!!

All you simpletons making stupid comments about how he lacked "confidence","composure" and any other hogwash you want to lay undue emphasis on have just decided to ignore what he said in his interview and dive in spewing utter nonesense. Listen to what he has said and hold it against him in future, not to come here and say trash, has the man ever garfed or say anything that embarrased the nation in an international interview? But obasanjo went on hardtalk and told steve his "vice president, atiku abubakar was corrupt" where was the outrage when he said that on international t.v, throwing his vice under the bus to save his own face. The hatred for this man is disgusting but alas you can just come on here and rant shambolic soliloques, not nothing much you can do again.

acadasol: He was not composed. Didn't u see how his lips were moving in an uncordinated manner, looking down as if boko was around. Seriously, I am a neutral fellow when it comes to GEJ matters but the interview I watched tonight forced me to talk. Guy! You have watched Obama talked na. You go fear confidence. Let's tell ourselves the truth. GEJ is not the man for Naija Job. Shikena...

excuse me!! What do you mean by he was'nt composed? And obama has "confidence"...obviously you have'nt followed obama's interviews where he is mubbling and making no sense, thinking what to say. Some nigerian just nauciate me!

mukolo_Andy: Reproduction one of d reasons (wich he clearly justified) is not d only reason,
He also sed its an act traceable tu darkness(not christ-like); An act JEHOVAH GOD frowns at.... #thus urging christians n members of d church he oversees by d GRACE of GOD upon him not tu engage in such acts.

Besides, sumtin prompted his givin a "piece of his mind" on d issue.. #he was interviewed.

In conclusion; common sense is common, only *blind arguements n criticisms lyk urs mks it seem its uncommon.

why does'nt your pastor let God be the judge of that? Let it be the between the person who is transgender and their creator!! Gays have'nt done anything to keep nigeria in the state that it is, corruption has. But pastor adeboye never makes it a point to attack corruption whenever he has the president or any political buddy of his in their congress. Corruption in his church and the country takes a back seat to "gays".

anishe: People like you have made countless efforts to get admitted to UNILAG to no avail. Now you have resorted to a mere blackmail, you and your Retardeen President have failed already. UNILAG FOR LIFE. GEJ and his cohorts for gutter.

i have nothing against that school though i'll never seek admission into it or any nigerian institution for that matter. Rather i'm trying to make the point that this university has really produced luminated minds, and if you truly love it as you inarticulately and shambolically stated in your comment, you should be sad at the noise a name change cause in that school cause frankly as i said it make them look petty!!

Demdem: Mine started when the Retardeen went ahead to debate with himself on liveTV. Who the ffuck does that.
That was when i discovered that he isnt the messiah Nigerians thought he was but simply part of the status quo and a deceit.
Of cos, so many afterwards, but will leave it at that for now.

if his opponents showed up he would'nt have debated himself..and you my good man is a greater "retardee".

mankand: They aint Tyrant. if you are looking for one............ I suggest you go to Otta Ogun State........

in as much as i'm not a fan of obasanjo. I can't let this fly....abacha was a tyrant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can't you let people make their decision or a few regulations. Rather they want to put the importers of the drinks out of buisness and into poverty. Alcohol has been proven to cause liver damage why has'nt it been ban? Cigarrets kills, why has it been ban? Petty legislating!

Keep waiting for the FEDERAL government to reverse their decision on a FEDERAL institution because of some frivolous and senseless reasons. The noise made by this school over a name change really made them look petty.

If reproduction is the only reason he is against transgenders then apparently he has heard of bareness,impotency, marraige contracts which stipulates no child bearing. Elton john and david furnish are gays but that has stopped them from using their sperm to produce two children and there are many children languishing in orphanages who are not being adopted by couples who have children of their own. Now they are being adopted and given the love they need as kids from transgender couples. Common sense is not common pastor adeboye!!

CAN is too close to government? But the catholic church is always lobbying government on anti-contraceptives and gay legislations. Your "holy church" is ridden in corruption and shrouded ih secrecy!! Please you are no different from the other cronnies in that ghastly organisation!!!

Those nigerians are Unpatriotic savages!! Aiding foreigners to destroy your country at the end they'll return to their country and your people will suffer the consequencies. And every time nigerians blame government for their everything.

I'm a teen. And i don't see that happening in a long...long...long..long..long time!!
