olas2u: Your really crazy,the guy spoke the truth.forbes ko,forbes ni,He his an African that spoke the truth to a fellow African country.Kolo mentality

Our people know who in ur own words have 'KOLOMENTALITY'African talking about an African country,shame on you.

I wouldn't waste precious time investigating if it's el rufai that posted this thru his FB account,i am not surprised at this outburst.My position is premised on the fact that since the ministerial list came out and el rufai's name was not among he has being throwing one diatribe or the other,i am very happy on the other hand,Nigerians will really know who our true lovers are,El rufai is on a mission the bring this country down at all means,and in doing this he and his evil cohorts will stop at nothing to achieve it,you can all see desperation at it's height,what have they not done?have they not even gone as far as hiring a lunatic in the guise of a prof just for the purpose of discrediting and unsettling the govt?


Our people have a saying that he who fetches ants infested firewood invites lizards to dinner,let El rufai be warned or else this dangerous part he's trading will destroy him,why would someone deliberately want to throw this country into another civil war by spreading falsehood through careless and ungaurded staements,geared towards inciting people against each other.Let us all be warned of this man's antics.

Some enemies of truth where at it again yesterday,the last time I checked this forum's Nairaland and not Dictatorland.After 5yrs of active and meritorious service on this forum,tin pocket sized dictators Banned me from posting anything on the forum.

While trying to air my unbiased,critical,analytical fact driven view,I clicked on the submit tab,but to my utmost surprise a message that reminds me of the gloomy military interventions which first broadcasts where characterised with words like'ALL POLITICAL ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN BANNED'.You have been Banned stared me in the face,I found it hard to believe so I consulted some respected patriots,not a few where baffled and I was regaled with complaints of how such treatment has been meted out to people for only trying to contribute.Have we now gone back to the dark days of the junta,when opposing views where subdued at all costs?I've seen half wits comment on this forum in the most unruly and foul manner and they have never been been cautioned talkless of being banned.

While trying as much as possible not to stir the Hornets,I wouldn't tolerate this again under any guise,and I also suggest the Administrators should apologise to every victim of 'unexplained' disbandment.

Image123: same folks that would criticise and insult fashola freely, even though they do not live in lagos and are not from lagos, are here talking about who has right to talk.

There u go again,what don't u understand?Lagos state's in Nigeria so anyone within could be privy of info,if there's the interest,MAD Ayittey was interviewed in America about a country he has never visited tankless of residing,so how did he get his info?if he wasn't very wrong on so many of the issues,maybe we wouldn't have noticed he was hired,but he betrayed his Bias and Ignorance with almost every answer he gave.

You see why some of us Patriotic Nigerians can't be hoodwinked by mere play acting from the Pull him down at all costs Campainers,funny though his list of 'Nigerian Followers'is growing in trickles.Woe unto all of you.

nagoma: Dont mind them , they still want to sell Jona to us "We all know the saying about one man's trash being another man's treasure, and you just need to find the man who treasures your trash," - I wonder who will genuinely treasure such an incapable a president as Jona.

My good friend where have you been?it's been long I saw ur posts,surprisingly u've not changed much,Just that ur absence gave me time to dig into ur roots,and I discovered that are one of those the demented sennectitude of a man,referred to as his' Nigerian followers',u and ur cohorts have sold ur pride and self confidence and are not worthy to be called Nigerians,follow ur recluse of a Prof.SHAME ON YOU!

Babzilla: OH NO ITS TIME U DID THE SHUTTING UP AND GET YOUR HEAD OUTTA UR BUTTHOLE! THAT MAN IS YOUR FRIEND. WE NEED TO LISTEN TO MORE PEOPLE LIKE THAT MAYBE IT WILL BRING US DOWN TO EARTH.I DONT KNOW WHICH BEER GUZZLE'S QUOTES UR ARE SPEWING BUT IT STINKS SAVE IT FOR WHEN NIGERIANS REALLY DO SOMETHING WORTH RECOGNIZING.

Wanted to reply,but on a second thought decided against it when I noticed your name's BABOONZILLA,LOL

Tony Spike: Can we safely say that the government noticed a large number of Nairaland users are recalcirant critics? Otherwise, how can we explain the rate of infiltration of Nairaland by these desperate apologists?

You that's being paid and used in trending evil,false and malicious rumours is not an infiltrator,I bet most of these Compatriots joined this group before you,funny enough i know your type,you are just setting the stage for ur Ogas to come in,they will be dissappointed that truth has already taken the stage.Bring em on Kobojunkie,Alj harem,shymmmex etc...LOSERS!!!

Already afraid of opposition,lol funny how" brave' some of you are,truth hurts right?it just began never again would we have you feed our people with falsehood,how would you people cope with opposition if u were the president?scared of the truth.I was almost becoming scared everyone were losing their minds.Cowards you created another topic to discuss fellow men who have engaged you in very positive and facts driven debate,the heat got unbearable u couldn't stand but run to seemingly safe corner to strategise like disgraced lieutenants,lies would only thrive where truthful men fail to stand up to responsbilities,always knew one day this devilish alliance of falsehood will come to an end.I've always believed in constructive critiscicm.

Please Mandelaguy,Beaf,Dedeike to mention but a few true and patriotic nairalanders,thanks for standing up for the truth at this critical time in the life of our nation.History will certainly vindicate the just.

One more thing please recruit me into ur army of Apologists...LoooooooooooL

At this point I have nothing else to say than pray for my people cos we've lost it totally,an unknown senile lunatic parades himself as a prof nd grants interview on issues of a country he's not conversant with,a d people are taken him serious,wht has happened to our senses.if I may ask who's this Ayittey,on twitter most of his followers are perverts,a member of an Xrated group on twitter,and yet people take him serious this is disheartening,has a Ghanianian become an authority on purely Nigerian issues,how much of nigeria does this unemployed 'prof' know?Why would play act an interview just to spite our govt and by extension ourselves,where is Ghana in the comity of nations,Ayittey is unknown even in small Ghana yet some of us who share same mad ideologies just for the purpose of spreading falsehood celebrate him.It's very pathetic.

If I were to ask what is really happening,there's a plot to bring down this administration by some desperate politicians who would stop at nothing to make sure this regime does not perform,at this time it is very clear that these are PAID distractors who have been hired to tarnish the image of the president and in doing this they have put their selfish interests ahead of the welfare of the Nigerian people,are not ready to stop these people have vowed to make sure the president does not deliver on the campaign promises and good agenda which he has.

Fellow Nairalanders I crave ur indulgence to collectively fight this enemies of state,who don't want us to enjoy Peace and Stability in this our beloved country,whatever their race,religion or political affiliation,we can't let them destabilise this country,we have had enough bloodshed and unneccesary chaos to tolerate more.Enough is Enough,Tunde Bakare should go in for comments that are capable instigating violence.

jamace: Why is everybody quiet about my observation above? Is it not correct?

There was no post to comment on.

question: Desperate Arsenal needs financial bailout.

Who needs financial bail out?if u don't have anything to say shut up

If they are so serious and claim to know what they are doing,they should better shut up and head to the court,simple.Why the ultimatum if not for cheap popularity,dumb asses.Critiscizing GEJ is indeed the biggest biz in town.

This is one of the reasons why the ministry, I learnt is trying to merge some agencies in its fold and close those duplicated radio stations. In Abuja alone, we hve over 4 govt owned radio stations doing what I don't understand. This was the culture of the Military to keep opening radio stations arbitrarily for govt propaganda at huge cost to tax payers money. Makushud continue his reforms even if he steps on some toes feeding fat fromFrcn,Von,Bon etc

Foolishness can never come in a better form. I don't want to believe what I just read. They are waiting for 7 days to elapse before enforcing the provisions of a law that was duly passed by the National Assembly and signed by the president. Nothing can be more dumb. Is there no lawyer in that group? Even if there's none, can't they seek proper legal advice from a lawyer? I don't understand how a group of people will issue an ultimatum to the President to do what the laws of the land doesn't mandate him to do. Section 140 (1) provides explicitly that "A person elected to the office of the president shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed in this constitution and he has taken and subscribed to the oath of allegiance and the oath of office as prescribed in the seventh schedule to this constitution" There was no stipulation whatsoever as to Open declaration. What the law requires is the declaration in the prescribed form. And Gej did just that. Therefore, Anybody or group of persons seeking the president to go beyond the borders of constitutionality to make an open declaration of his Assets is a dreamer or at best disillusioned. The president has fulfilled the law by filling his assets declaration form and submitted same accordingly to CCB. He doesn't give a f**king damn about any ignoramus or Boko haram agent who wants him to make it public.In fact, it's unlawful to do so. Those truly desirous to hve access to it must approach the CCB. it is only when they fail to assist, that one can resort to legal action thru FOI as signed by GEJ. If this whole SERAP stunt is not just showmanship, I don't see any reason why they should be threatening to institute legal action in order to obtain a document which can be made available to them on demand. It's just laughable.

Ignorant prof. I'm sure he has never watched any Nigerian news channel before

Somebody should please tell this stupid professor to shut up.

alj harem: he is still sleeping because the main actor Madueke is still in his government.

alj harem at it again for those of us who know ur antics ,we'll not fail to let others know cos u've vowed to expose ur ur self,u'll now dictate to president on handling his appointees,these are really desperate times.

This is what actually happens when the govt brings out well thought out policy initiatives that will engineer growth. Bath Nnaji was talking about ithis in his interview with THISDAY. The Fg needed to increase tariffs so that oil companies will be encouraged to invest in gas production for our power plants. Nice one GEJ. Nice one Okorocha for assisting them with land space for this project

The north should go and rest. They had this power for over 40 years and frittered away our oil wealth. Now they can't bear SOUTH SOUTH presidency. They r e mad

HNosegbe: Media Chat: Ghanaian Professor Blasts Goodluck Jonathan, Says: “This Guy is a Joke”

https://samuelobour.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120625-134353.jpg


One of the World’s foremost economists, Professor George Ayittey has lashed out at the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ), describing him as “a joke” and a mediocre President after his (GEJ’s) encounter with the media last night.

According to Professor Ayittey, Nigeria “deserves a better leader”, judging by GEJ’s poor, almost unfortunate responses to some of the questions posed to him by the Nigerian media last night.

The Professor indicated that GEJ’s refusal to declare his assets and his failure to tackle the Boko Haram crisis suggests that he is of an unsound mind,


This useless man parading himself as a professor should be arrested for impersonation,cos he can't be a prof,if he really is then he is definitely a disgrace to the academic world for allowing himself to be a made a mockery of,allowing himself to be a tool of falsehood hired to trade in his conscience and integrity if he has any calls for serious concerns,if such men cn now be used by enemies of state for the sole purpose of discrediting the present govt goes a long way to show how much some of us have lost self esteem.


In the words of the demented,sponsored 'prof' he exhibited his ignorance of so many issues he raised here.Like machinery out to impress his paymaster he burst into series of senile and

Professor Ay,




He therefore called on Nigerians to rid themselves of GEJ as soon as possible.

He said: “Nigerians should not put up with such mediocrity and should mount a RECALL GEJ campaign. They should check Chapter VI of their Constitution. See Sections 143 and 144 about removing the President and Vice-President from office other than through elections”.

“137; 1c: “A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if under the law in any part of Nigeria, he is adjudged to be a lunatic or otherwise declared to be of unsound mind.”

Professor Ayittey, a Ghanaian economist, author, president of the Free Africa Foundation in Washington DC, professor at American University, and an associate scholar at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, made this known on twitter this morning.

Read the entire tweet below:

“Look, this GEJ guy is a joke – a meretricious mediocrity. Nigerians deserve a better leader. Fancy his statements and responses to questions in a media chat on June 24, 2012:

• He has not visited Borno state, the center of Boko Haram attacks, because the airport there was not functional at the time he planned to visit. “And we did not want to land somewhere and fly in to Maiduguri with a helicopter for obvious reasons.”

[Why is the airport not functioning? Why hasn’t it been fixed? And are there no ROADS into Borno State?]

• Asked why he had not declared his assets, Mr. Jonathan replied in an impatient tone, stating “I don’t give a damn” about declaration of assets. He related that he had gone to the late President Umaru Yar’Adua to caution “that we should not play to the hands of some people [by openly declaring their assets].” Mr. Jonathan added, “That is a matter of principle and I am not going to declare. It is not the president declaring his asset that will end Boko Haram.”

• The president said it’s a matter of principle and whether he is criticised from “head to toe” he will not declare his assets. “It is not right,” he said. “I didn’t want even want to declare my assets as VP” but was forced by the then president, Umara Musa Yar’Adua. He said asset declaration is “not the right thing to do.”

[Damn it, it is a constitutional requirement to declare your assets, Mr. President. See Chapter VI, Part 1, Section 140 of Nigeria’s Constitution: “Declaration of assets and liabilities, oaths of President.” And what the hell has Boko Haram got to do with declaration of assets?]

• Agriculture: The president said his government is revolutionizing agriculture in Nigeria.”We are giving cotton seeds free in the North” he said.

[This is the most crass definition of an “agricultural revolution” – by providing free seeds.]

• The President said the government is doing very well in railway construction. “You may not know, but we are working,” he said. He added that his government has made a “significant progress” in railway construction. “You should commend us,” he adds.

[What “significant progress” has been made in railway construction? How many Nigerians are working on railway construction with the contract given to Chinese firms?]

• UNILAG name change: The president said what he did, in terms of law, was correct. You change the name first, then send the bill to the National Assembly later, he argues. “What we did, was the normal procedure,” he said.

[No, Mr. President, you had it backward. Before you change the name of University of Lagos (UNILAG), you consult with the university and the student body, which you did NOT do.]

• Crude Oil Theft: “The stealing of crude oil is a Nigerian phenomenon,” the president said. He adds that it has gone cancerous. “We will stop it, but it is like allowing a cancerous cell to grow into a major tumor.”

[Mr. President, theft of crude oil is a CRIME, not a “Nigerian phenomenon or a disease afflicting Nigerians. Describing it that way means you are CLUELESS about how to solve it.]

Nigerians should not put up with such mediocrity and should mount a RECALL GEJ campaign.

They should check Chapter VI of their Constitution. See Sections 143 and 144 about removing the President and Vice-President from office other than through elections.

Like a machinery out to impress his paymaster but who unfortunately did not provide with facts(they are ignorant as well)he burst into a tirade of ignorant,careless and unguarded absolute balderdash thereby betraying his bias,to the disappointment of his principals and apologists.

Professor Ay,let me help u a little and enlighten u on some TRUTH which they would not let u know,and of course I didn't expect u to know given the angle u r coming from,trust the plethora of lies they must have fed u by now,if u

tunnytox: I fear for Nigeria's future judging by the responses of many posters on this thread. Instead of concentrating on the message they put their attention on the messenger, some posters are even so passionate to defend their president from 'insults' than they are concerned on his suitability for the job. Only a fool will so concerned about eczema when he's been afflicted with leprosy. What has insulting Jona got to do with the fact that people are hungry, insecure and dying everyday while the political elite continue to feast on the nation's wealth? If you have ever been hungry before, been deprived of your right or being abused by the Nigerian govt in one way or the other you'll be more concerned about governance rather than protecting your president from insult.
No reasonable president need more than one year before people starts to feel the impact of his work, you don't need more than one year to:
- Start the restructuring Nigerian police and the overall security of Nigeria - this government does not even have a plan!
- fight corruption and jailing of offenders in high places
- develop and start to implement a plan of action to mend each sector of the Nigerian economy
But as it is now it look like its going to take Jona a decade to make up his mind on how to govern, stupid and clueless president.

We should be more concerned about nigeria's future because of people like u,who have vowed to hate this administration,how can u be quoting a relatively unknown 'prof'who has been hired to say rubbish,and u have blindly followed without analysing,has he ever lived here?

nagoma: g
You cannot incite Nigerians against Ghanians for that. The distinguished professor is right and as an academic he can talk about , Egyptian , Bolivian, Siberian or Nigeria politics.
Those arm chair Professors of nose picking need to wake up and speak for the people.

That is how much u've sold this country to our neighbours,have u heard echoes from Ghana?u let an uncelebrated and unknown ghanaian so called prof who has been hired to deceive us and refer to our president in uncouth language.I pity u.

homerac7: ^

Met someone who knew him as a lecturer and he was described as boring to death.

Also someone who knew him in UNIPORT during his Ph.d days and was told he failed his thesis defence thrice and Alams had to call d VC to save his deputy from d embarrassment before he was finally passed. Although I haven't been able to check his ph.d award date against d year of his service as deputy governor.

Then shut up and stop vending fake rumour.

Lies. Lies. Lies. Which Ghanian professor? I think very much that This may be a cloned speech and the handiwork of SAHARAREPORTERS. This govt has in less than 1 year rehabilitated all the 4 major international airports in Nigeria? Was it not because of the bad state of Accra airport and its runway that a cargo airport crashed recently? Even the explanation from the Ghana aviation minister was awful. She said because rain fell immediately when the plane landed as if runways are not built in such a way as to have direct drainage underneath. Let the professor go and face his own challenges at home and stop talking about issues he knows nothing about.

I heard Odumakin say Mr. President's response on the state of maidugri airport reflects to the world that he cannot maintain airports. Another deception. This govt has done in one year what others could not do in 4 years in the aviation sector. They're fixing all the international airports in Nigeria. I went to Abuja airport on Monday and was amazed at the level of work going on on both wings of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. For almost 6 months, the Enugu airports hve been shut down to traffic duevto ongoing rehabilitation work. Kano international airport is also undergoing renovation. Same for Lagos. Where are we so uncharitable in our criticism of this govt?

dedeike: Once Again, the opposition has gone full circle in a failed bid to doctor the interesting media chat the President had with Nigeians. I have much respect for Yinka Odumakin as an activit. But it remains to be seen how this analyses can ever be said to be flowing from that media chat. I watched the media chat. First, Yinka proceeded on a faulty assumption that the President was talking about the Ribadu committe set up to monitor our oil revenue. No. What the president clearly said is that while he was an acting president, he had already directed Aganga to invite any globally reputable audit firm to investigate NNPC. The president said this in a bid to clear the air on his alleged plans to kill Lawan's report. He said that even far before the House Probe, he had already taken his own independent step to investigate the oil sector. Logically too, one of the major reasons for the removal of subsidy was to eliminate the cabal from feeding fat from oil subsidy. So does it make sense when people now reprobate to accuse the president from shielding the same cabal from Farouk.'s hammer? Somehow both the President and the masses have a common enemy in the cabal. The president sought to punish the cabal thru subsidy removal while the masses sought to punish the cabal thru the probes but unfortunately both efforts turned awry. Secondly, it is not also true that the president could not face live questions. He did face all the questions thrown at him confidently. He responded to the Brasil trip perfectly. He told about ongoing power reforms in summary. He talked about YOUWIN in response to a question by the caller. He explained the reason behind the sack of Azazi. Please let's try to be objective. We must not kill this man because our preferred presidential candidates lost to him.

don't mind them. That is how they go about deceiving people. Yinka who is saying all these rubbish cannot even tell us where Fashola's assets was publicly declared in any media even if it's SAHARREPORTERS. Hypocrites!

Mandelaguy: quote him out of contest,you,hoodrat and your lot. But we all listened to him too. Losers.

You waste ur precious time,don't u know the meaning of a hoodrat? What do u expect?

olumidazz: He is not making sense

Blind and unrepentant critic,would he ever make sense to u?either u didn't watch it or u didn't just understand.pls don't exhibit ur ignorance here.

dedeike: Best presidential media chat ever in recent times. mr president clearly won our hearts with his answers on so many of the issues raised. Thank you Bayoooo for posting this summary so that people like KOBOJUNKIE will be well informed

That's if people like junkie put blind sentiment and bias aside.Mr President did very well I've never been let in to the agenda of govt this much all burning issues where handled and explained very well by GEJ,I a bright peaceful future with this man,let's rally round him to achieve his mission,Nigeria is our's.

Kudos GEJ keep it up!

Why wouldn't u prefer football?Ignorant people,tomorrow u'll appear and shout that the president is not doing anything.I pity my people.

Kobojunkie: ROFLMAO!! Let me guess? You turning around to insult him on behalf of JOnathan Goodluck will get you get a reward of some kind? And maybe Jesus will come down and bless you more?
I am just trying to figure out how this works. You insult a fellow Nigerian on behalf of a politician, who doles out the rewards to you? The Politician or God?

This is where u miss it,so the president is not a Nigerian?is he not Nigeria's num 1 citizen?the level of hypocrisy on this forum baffles me,someone would wake up and insult the president without trashing out the issues at hand,I am not standing for the president I am only on the path of truth and discipline,why would a non entity refer to the president as a FOOL,as long as people come here to insult the president I will personally fight dirty,bring up issues and we'll discuss.i can't tolerate nonsense.
