Defend the indefensible

@ Tony Spike

Tell me, was Sanusi the best the nation had when he was appointed?
Wasn't he appointed due to the influence of Late President Umaru Ya'radua,
a Northerner like himself? Someone should please tell me that I'm wrong...

Yes you are wrong. As the president, you appoint those you think share your value
and believe in your programs or should I say those you feel can help you attain
the goals you set for yourself irrespective of where they are from. One reason I
think President Umaru Ya'radua picked SLS is because of his incorruptibility.
Is Soludo more intelligent than SLS?

@ 0lumide: SLS is corrupt and too TRIBAL!!!!!!
HE IS NURSING A 2015 AMBITION THAT IS WHY HE IS SPEAKING LIKE THIS!!!!!! LIAR!! YOUR EVIL PLAN NO GO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN DEM DEY BOMB PLACES ACROSS THE NORTH, E NO TALK OO, NA WHEN DEM BOMB KANO E DEY DONATE!!!
KO NI DA FUN E!!!

You don't know history my friend. Go and check SLS has been fighting for this
country for a very long time. He has been an activist for a very long time speaking
against the government abuses, injustice, wastage and sharp practices. In his youth,
he was in the same group as Falana, Gani Fawehinmi and the likes. Go and check the books

These bastard politicians think with their anus
Remember the House Speakers mansion that was built and renovated with billions
of Naira over the years. The same mansion that cost Patricia Eteh her speaker-ship
position in the house was sold to Bankole for only 200million Naira only, then they
turned around and tried to have the mansion rented from Bankole for 200million
Naira a year but later abandoned the deal because it generated uproar in the house.
As at that time, the speaker was living in a hotel at the expense of Nigerians and
may still live there. We the ordinary Nigerians have to do something because if
we wait for the ruling class to effect the change we need, we will wait forever
because they all benefit from the system one way or the other

@playmode:

I think i am going to come back home and set up a kidnapping syndicate to start kidnapping relatives of these assholes in Government. We Nigerians just sit back and look like mugus while these people just screw us like this.We deserve the type of leadership we get since we elected these people into office willingly.We are a country of epic morons who can not seem to do anything right.

Come next election we will be clamoring for the same people to return to power.I wish i was never born in this cursed nation of educated and uneducated idiots.We like bragging about how good we are at academics but what have we actually done with that knowledgehuh Absolutely nothing! We Nigerians are a disgrace to the human race.10 years from now the situation will remain the same because as Nigerians we will never apply common sense and honesty when choosing our leaders.Our pockets always comes first to the detriment of our communities and our nation.

To make matters worse when someone who wants to make a real change comes out and start clamoring for real change we shout him down,laugh at him or just plain ignore him.It is as if we have being genetically engineered to be selfish,astonishingly stup*d ,corrupt ,dishonest ,criminal minded ,oppressive, arrogant,tribalistic,incompetent,deceptive,heartless,careless and regressive.Our people are just like mindless drones who just follow the tide even if it will drown them.If that fact alone does not depict how unintelligent we are as a people then i don't know what will.Welcome to Nigeria the country that enjoys suffering and smiling,the country were self injury is inflicted time and time again without any remorse or change of heart.

You are so right

This is absurd. A Nigerian professor did the same
thing in the United States few years ago to his
daughter and he got 25yrs in prison

How come journalist doesn't ask a follow up questions
to the original question if their questions are not
being answered? Shame to our journalists

We don"t have journalist in this country

Please Nigerians, leave this babe alone.
Who are we to judge.
Mercy, you are a very pretty woman

Nigerians Please Think before you vote

I'm amazed at Nigerians for supporting ineptitude. (GEJ)

These are some of the reasons I'm not voting for him

Nigerians Please Think before you vote

@efisher

We have even gone a step further to show that IBB was even more serious than that joker. IBB did not need up to a year before he commissioned Jebba. Check the facts.

So what has GEJ added for the year he has been there

Why do you people come here and try to distort history.
Well this is what I experienced about electricity in the 80s.
I grew up in Benin city and during that time we use have power interruption
once every 3 or 4 months.
But NEPA will announce on radio and TV that there is going to be blackout
and they will let you know when you should expect it back.

@lastpage

People like you are the problem we have in Nigeria.
Keep it up

@Pataki

Go ahead and create whatever thread you want.

@Onlytruth

This is Nigeria, the most powerful black nation on earth, with the highest number of black graduates worldwide; yet a non-graduate is being presented as electable.

You tell me what the graduate we have at the helm of affairs have achieved so far.

Pray, on a fair platform, could GEJ and Buhari discuss policy issues with the same level of understanding? NO!

I don't want issues discussed, I want to see result.

When we have passed this level whereby a semi-literate would be using his sections population advantage to climb the top echelon ahead of a more educated and balanced counterpart from a minority zone, only then can we even discuss corruption and the like. It is too early in the day.

This shows you are voting on sentiment and it is a tribal thing to you.
I'm from Edo and I don't care where my president is from as long as
he delivers

@Rossiik

It is the pressure of thousands of relatives, friends, kinsmen, and 'godfathers' on political appointees that lead them to be corrupt. Each of these groups sees a political appointee as their ticket to great wealth. End that mentality AMONG THE PEOPLE, and you end corruption.

How come Buhari hasn't stollen us blind just like those you are defending.
I don't know you so I will not raise any assumption on you but your post
is even more corrupt than those we are fighting

@okada_man

How I wish every Nigerian is like meeen
Then maybe our dear country will progress.
Thanks a million and keep the fight going.
How I wish I know you personally.

@Onlytruth
Tell me GEJ's position on what NANS take home is every month and
remembers he is suppose to defend the constitution.
NANS members take home millions every month that does not tally
with their suppose pay. What has he done?
Remember what fearless Sanusi said about them and president refuse to act.
Can you kindly tell me what he is waiting for or he does not respect the constitution.

@Rossikk
AND WE ALL JUST KNOW THAT A 'PRESIDENT USERLIST' WILL BLUNTLY REFUSE TO ''BRIBE'' ANYBODY ON THE ROAD TO RE-ELECTION AS PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA IF HE WERE IN JONATHAN'S SHOES - IN NIGERIA.

A crime is a crime no matter who commits it (what is your point)

Is anyone seriously suggesting thet either of Tinubu, Ribadu, Shekarau, or Buhari, IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES would not garner some form of INDUCEMENT to shower on delegates in order to ease their path to re-election?

I wasn't refering to those guys you mentioned but GEJ what is wrong with you people.
If I see a murderer I should keep quiet because somebody else will do same some day (how smart)

You know, even your own wife, parents, children, friends, and kinsmen will label you a HE-GOAT if, as sitting president, you fail to 'drop' for your party delegates before the primaries.

So it is written in our constitution to deplete the national reserve to please your political friends at the expense of the country. Where are you from anyway. We always blame other people for our own nemesis.

The truth is that many of the things we like to blame ''our leaders'' for actually stem from us, the people.
You tell me the sense in this statement

I don't even have time to go into the other points on your list. Suffice it to add they all reek of the same rank  hypocrisy as the aforementioned.


Tell me which of those things are made up. Which one is hypocrisy

ALL I'M SAYING IS VOTE WISELY

I like the idea. Let them put all the corrupt politicians in there so they can float to other part of the world.
Monkeys.

What is all these you don't speak ill of the dead. So if Ibori, adonkey, Turai, babangida and the rest of them dies tomorrow I should fill pity.
Nigeria is a joke. This country will never move ahead if this how her citizens think.

Look guys, I will never change my Nigerian accent for anything in the world. What I do like in the interview is his composure and I think he was abit nervous during the interview. Common guys, he is the president of Nigeria and for that reason, he should be able to get his points across with a little bit of ease. Look, it is better to keep to his English simple than to resort to speaking grammar that will make him look inferior to other world leaders regardless the language used.
