3.PDP patrons that are being shielded fro EFCC and co
4.Was Azazi's sack due to incompitence?

engineerd: I think u are possessed !!! LOL...ok...i apologize for all my prior insults, but i think you should learn to show some diplomacy sometimes when putting your point across!! Strictly speaking, u were right....and all of a sudden GEJ's foot soldiers are no where to be found!

OAM4J: I can not point to anything inspiring in the whole chat.

Good I didn't waste my time watching.

Kobojunkie: I believe the very first thing we need to stop doing, as Nigerians, is LYING on BEHALF of politicians. Are you suggesting that a trip to a photo-op that many in the environmental community now deem a failure, was part of president's duties but staying back to fight the scourge blowing Nigerians to smithereens is not?

Do you know that many other countries stayed away from Brazil . . . we are talking countries dealing with their own crisis. . . but nothing close to what Nigeria is dealing with at the moment. Greece and Spain of course stayed away. United States, England, Germany, stayed away, about 20 others also did. Why? because many of them were busy tackling issues such as their economy, something that seemed to be top on their priorities at this time. Nigeria's issue? Terrorism but instead, our President flies off to an Environmental summit.

Now, when you talk of Government grinding to a halt, I wonder if you know the reason why we have a vice president at all. Nothing stopped or diminishes Government if the President sent the VP in his stead. I mean even Yar adua, who did not somehow trust Jonathan, at least knew to send someone else in his stead (his wife on occassion) so he could stay back in Nigeria and pretend he cared for the people. Now I am holding brief for that man but he did get some things right. Do Presidents take up arms themselves? No. That's the work of the military an he said quite clearly that not travelling to Brazil would send wrong signals to the international community and this would be bad for the image of a Country in dire need of foreign investment. Boko Haram is bad enough as it takes the lives of innocent Nigerians. To deny the rest of the Country the benefits of foreign investors on account of the killings in the North will only take us backwards


Which Boko Haram leader? The ones the US only this week put on terrorist list abi which one again? No prominent Boko Haram leader was killed. Those are on the terrorist list now. The man that was killed was ALLEGEDLY linked. According to those who killed him, he was a leader that masterminded an attack but even on Aljazeera, the reporter said that was the information they got and there was ofcourse no way to verify the claims since that was all our authorities wanted to say of the man.

I remember back in 2009, we were told the leader of Boko Haram had been killed. To this day, no one knows what the truth really was. We know a man was killed, and his family later won a case for over 100 million for his brutal killing, and that is that. Who is to say this killing will not end the same way? Will we ever know the truth of what really happened? Not sure but if you do find out let us know however don't come lying to those of us who also read the same reports on these cases as you do in the papers.

Really? That you made this statement here yourself leads me to believe you do not have faith in the President you are desperately trying to sell us here. So I pretty much don't need to add anything.

Kobojunkie: Actually he did make light of the security situation, especially when he suggested that his trip to brazil was to show BokoHaram that he was still in Charge. Essentially he left the country, IGNORING the plight of the Nigerian people -- people continued to be blown to smithereens while he was away -- so he could prove some moot point to Boko Haram, a group that probably does not watch him on TV given that most of their attacks are not around what happens in ABUJA but whenever they seem to want to.

He is back and Boko Haram is not taking a break or acknowledging his return in anyway. So essentially he left while the country was 'burning' and came back with the country still 'burning', how does that tell you of the significance of his trip to those who he claimed he was trying to prove a point to?

If that statement had been made by, say the American President or any other civilized Nation, he would have heard from the people almost immediately. But this is Nigeria where lives are near nothing and blood pretty much seems to flow like water.

brabus: To all GEJ paid agents,

Media Chat or Charade has come and gone, now where is electricity? Where's security? Where's sanctity? Where's development?

They are all in the cooler. GEJ no try at all. No be by talk, na action.

Action speak louder than words!

soe: u need to visit d psychatrist....no sane person...after d over one thousand lives we hav lost in just one year of d retardeen's tenure,wud b easily bought by sweet words...if only u live in yobe or borno or kaduna..where u aint even sure of seeing tomoro..yet ur president tells u dat he wont allow dat grind his govt....he still sleeps well,gets paid so well..and travels...of what relevance is ur welfare to him? Yet u seat der n say we shud giv him mur tym...u r so inept

bayooooooo: Perhaps! But GEJ is not just it. He displayed a petty comprehension of issues at stake. His responses were mired in myopic thinking and his position on rule of law was an insult on the sensibilities of Nigerians. His responses were far below average and somewhat unbecoming of a PhD holder.

GAR3TH: To be truthful i found it troubling that he "told a story" to answer every question, even the simple yes or no ones. I was expecting short, brief and to the point answers in response to challenging questions. It didn't feel like a presidential Q&A but rather a "presidential social chat room". Why cant Nigeria media grill the president the same way foreign media grills Obama, David Cameron etc. they basically asked him a question and let GEJ answer it without any rebuttals, follow up questions or opposition views. All the NTA people did is nod their head and move on to the next question. The who point of this "media chat" was to Task the president and hold him accountable on what he has done since office. as far as i'm concerned these NTA guys failed.

kokoA: I just took a little break from the euro 2012 match to see our GEJ and the first thing i heard was 'b'reA.st'. Pls, whose boobii was he referring to? Na dey channels' babe own? .. That babe disapointed me badly, so all her noise na for channels sunrise daily e end fa.. She enter ass-hole rock go dey laugh with GEJ.. Smh

ayox2003: Na "acted" caller....Which Nigerian go yarn like that!!!

Enoquin: And then there are a tiny few who are quite objective...criticizing issues objectively. It's appalling and chilling the level we have degenerated to in name calling and that which we all seem to close our eyes to...leave his accent and criticize what he has said not from hear-say or 'giving a dog a bad name and hanging it' but from what he has said tonight and what we know from 'verified' sources...we are all enlightened, not so?
And for those calling him retardeen, ode, mugu and what's not; perhaps I was raised better but I know a wise man cannot be led by a fool, for what does that then say of the 'wise man' who has let a fool lead him?

buzor: oga jona, answer the 2015 question and stop behaving like a coward

monkeyleg: very weak uncoordinated responses. The chap really doesnt sound presidential

ayo jango: .


He has nothin to OFFER and we all know ds,what has he got to say, he removed Azazi and appointed d son of a former sultan(alleged sponsors of boko haram. He's clueless,dumb,inept,lacks progressive vision

Demdem: I doubt if the retardeen will tell me anything new. I prefer to watch England play at this same time jor.

1supremo: Bad timing. Tomorrow is Sunday. The questions will hover around the scenario of tomorrow's church attack. To the would be victims of tomorrow's Boko Haram carnage, I say RIP in advance. Do I sound morbid? By the way, I'm not a prophet of doom, I'm only extrapolating. It's called common sense.

ndu_chucks: Hopefully, Dasuki can help negotiate terms for the disarmament of BH. Negotiations need to begin immediately with the condition that BH declares an immediate cease fire.

CuteTj: And so? Will that stop the bombings- NO, Will that stop corruption- NO, Will that make petrol price reduce which will in turn reduce cost of goods & services- NO. They probably will be redeployed to other ministries or get compensated with some other political appointment as is the norm. So for that reason, IM NOT CONCERNED!

Olaolufred: THANK YOU FEMMY2010.
DIRTY HOME LEFT ODIOUS-IS MORE CALLED A DUMPSITE.
ASKING VISITORS TO COME WITH A CHAIR AND SIT IN THAT SAME DUMPSITE.
ONLY MAD MEN THINKS THAT WAY.
THEIR SUPORTERS ARE LIKE THEM.

Akshow: tell them o. Tell the idiotic praise singers

Kobojunkie: Have a heart! Many of the affected, no matter how much you try to deny it are northerners but first and foremost, human beings with flesh and blood like you. They did not ask to be blown to be pieces. They did not sign on to having their lives snuffed out as if meaningless. They simply wake up each day seeking to live yet another day, only to have some hoodlums, decide it should be their last.

Your Northerners who you pretend are all behind this, are themselves trying hard to make sense of what is going on and why instead of getting better, it is becoming NORMAL for the whole nation, and the world, to watch the dead carcasses of their loved ones strewed all over the streets.

And what did they do to deserve that? Many of them have never harmed you or your own, yet you accuse them of the problems of the nation. You accuse them of ruining your precious nation.

DaRapture: This is good news, Brazil is a MUCH, MUCH more realistic, trusting and worthy developmental patner for Nigeria and Sub Sahara Africa as a whole than China and India or any other Asian nation.

canuck: Na true sha - What did he do when he did NOT travel? Oh yeah, I remember now: He did NOTHING!

Ileke-IdI:
Where is the ediot that bashes Aregbesola's "Lagos" statement.



They're quietly sending a message to retardedeen.

Yet he continues to ask Nigerians to sacrifice. na wa ooo



President Jonathan’s Delegation To Brazil Is World’s Largest, At 116!

As Nigerians lament the abrupt departure of President Goodluck Jonathan for Brazil in the middle of violence and counter-violence in the North, SaharaReporters has gathered that the Nigerian ruler arrivedat his destination with 116 men and women, the largest national delegation, contrary to his pledge in January to travel at less weight and expense.

Our sources say the team is made up of:
• 25 personal aides. Sahara reporters has a well documented history for being the hub of sensationalism in online media. This latest report may not be unconnected with their penchant for the surreal. Like most of their stories, this must be taken with a huge shovel of salt
• 18 aides of Patience Jonathan
• 2 members of the National Assembly
• 5 Ministers
• 2 Governors, and
• 63 officials from the Ministries of Enviroment, Foreign Affairs, National Planning and Petroleum Resources.

The junket will continue for Mr. Jonathan next week Thursday when he will be in Brussels for the World Customs Conference, scheduled for June 28-30. He will be taking with him about 57 people, including 26 aides, 3 Ministers, 8 members of the National Assembly, and 20 other government officials.

From June 25 to 29, Mrs. Jonathan will be in Maryland, United States, accompanied by 36 people: 18 aides, 4 wives of Governors, and 14 friends and associates.

Nigerian political parties yesterday lambasted Mr. Jonathan’s decision to leave for Brazil, just hours after violence and counter-violence had reportedly resulted in over 74 dead and hundreds injured. On Sunday, the president called on God to intervene in the violence.

But he has also promised to see to the end of the Islamic militant group militant Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati Wal-Jihad, widely-known as Boko Haram, this month. After he made that pledge in April, the militants promised to make June a bloody month in order to prove that Jonathan has no power over them. Some helpless Christians have in the past few days resorted to reprisal attacks against Muslims.

Only yesterday, as Jonathan hopped on one of his gleaming new executive jets and left the chaos in Nigeria behind, Boko Haram notified SaharaReporters that it would launch even more devastating attacks on churches and government buildings in the coming days.

The group’s contact person said Boko Haram had line up about 300 suicide bombers to attack churches in Southern Kaduna and in Plateau State in its determination to exact considerable revenge for the Muslims killed in Christian reprisals in the last few days.

swintiney: @captainajama, u should hav said what i said that isn't true either, how many times did obj boast of achieving 4MW? So shocked that wen GEJ/JEG came he still claimed of reaching 4MW, or ar we in 2nd 4MW? Or have we not noticed dat GEJ uses constant power supply 2 decieve us while lunching killing measures? I'v gone a step ahead of the facts u askd 4 to give u the truth. GEJ is showing signs of failure, if he does, then u & i would agree we ended up losing about 20yrs of our development to virtually OBJ & GEJ.

Mind u, GEJ has startd making up excuses 4 anticipated failure by saying dat the country was already this bad b4 he became presido, did he not know this before becoming presido?

subterfuge: With over 90% of Nigeria in Blackout, what bullshit reforms is on track. All you sycophants and praise singers, be warned. Power may be sweet as honey, but can also be bitter as vinegar!!! Remember Patrice lumumba, Samuel Doe? Moamar Ghadafi, Hosni mubarak? All th
ese people were better and brighter than this dullard jonathan... To be fore warned, is to be fore armed.

hillsate: Who are these govt agents on nairaland?
Nigeria had about 2300MW in 1999, and today it has peaked at about 3200MW.
PDP govt has only added 1000MW in all the 13yrs of her rule, what makes you think PDP, GEJ or is it Barth, is serious and committed to any power reform?
A govt that is only thinking about generation without mapping out a well laid strategy for gas production and distribution is only joking. Are they going to be transporting the gas (that is not even available) via trucks to the NIPP's or have they started laying down pipes for gas distribution?
Power sector reform my foot!
Guys, the so called improvement you see today in generation is simply an overworking the systems currently available to deceive nigerians. The systems will soon pack up and we'll be back to square one.

Ovaiegbe: Thanks for referring us to the minister's interview. It was not only frank but realistic. The reforms required in PHCN are time dependent and most of the inherited NEPA infrastructure were either obsolete or dilapidated. And again we had the problem of institutionalized corruption within PHCN.
The transmission line running from Aloji to Calabar via Itu for example has only one set of lines instead of two right from when it was first installed probably in the 70s. The consequence of this is that when that line has a fault, there is no back up or alternative supply line until the fault is fixed. This problem was neither created by OBJ, Yar'Adua (RIP) or Jonathan and fixing it may require installing entirely new towers and line.
Haven read the Minister's interview I am convinced that they are on top of the situation and that in the very near future a lasting solution would have been put in place.
On the issue of gas supply, the minister has already said that we are blessed with an abundant reserve of it (which we carelessly flare everyday in our oil production companies, the petroleum ministry needs to tell us what plans they have to make natural gas available to Nigerians (not just PHCN) for our every day use.
For my fellow citizens, we need to learn to conserve energy and use electricity wisely. The era of leaving for work with are your security lights on is fast running out. Using quack electricians to make connection in our homes and offices is detrimental to the distribution facilities. Let all hands be on deck and let braze up for better days in the power sector.
