gboss4sure:

U talk like a KID without sense what do you know about terrorism self... U think na to throw knock out.. So what you have been saying is that GEJ has been the one releasing those guys abi

Megabyts: When a govt cant solve the problems of the governed the honourable thing is for gej and his crew to resign.

Pennywise: This govt is a complete failure. Oshiomhole's govt in Edo state was met with d usual sceptism on assumption of office. But he has allowed his good work to speak for him so much so that anybody criticising Oshomhole now is an enemy of all Edo pple. He didn't need to hire fake intellectuals to launder his image on a faceless forum. Even Obj didn't need to. Neither did Yaradua.

To Jonathan's image handlers on NL. Consider ur responses very well bc u are becoming monotonous and frequently irrelevant in ur responses. In d eyes of d world your principal is

1. Corrupt- irrespective of whether he gives a damn or not. This might be a reason why he has a problem effectively prosecuting corruption. Monumental financial scandals is a dly occurrence in his govt and nothing is being done.
He refuses to let go openly corrupt persons in his cabinet like Diezani and Adoke

2. Inept in d fight against terrorism. Sending a few soldiers with a pick up van to confront suicidal maniacs doesn't constitute a fight against terror. Borders remain porous, BH access funds freely, insufficient security manpower resources etc

3 Goofy president. Yes he is a PHD holder but our expectations of him is no more than a little common sense in his utterances. And u will do well to have his wife under lock and key bc every remark of hers makes pple question the IQ of d first family.

All of a sudden all u paid Jonathan attack dogs make el Nasir -a thieving opportunist look like a folk hero when he is not.

U are here to win friends for ur principal. Stop attacking contributors on Nl. In d past critical threads about Jonathan and his govt will last 1-2 pages but since u came on in d last 2mths these threads are going d distance. And u big pple in Abuja have made small pple like us big shots telling u as it is.

ELOGBO: GEJ remain d best presi. So far n d problm of dis country is mstly insecurity, let hmmm help us flosh dem out. INCLUDIN EL~ FUALT FINDER

Elueme: When a government fails completely Nigerians ll know... For now your assertion of a complete failure is not true.. If I may ask failure in what aspect? Thegovt is performing in many other areas except security in the north and do we need to go into that analogy for you to understand what is actually going on? Criticism is welcomed but I plead for it to have tunes of reality and truthful.. Outright force ll not solve the security challenges of that nature maybe that is why the govt had not overtly reacted, which may even worsen the situation. I however, agree that the govt should change strategy but you shouldn't be cowed by these faceless group cos that is their aim and it's strictly political.
You made mention of Oshomohle meeting an Herculean challenge which he was able to resolve and such endeared him to EDOLITES.. Yes, he meant structural decadence but never meant the problem of fanatical insurgency.. Insurgency in anywhere in the world is never won in a Gifffy. You ll be very unfair to the president to compared hesitation athand with the situation of Edo state as it then was. Oshomohle in his first 18 months couldn't do anything in the state , kidnapping and armed robbery attained its peak in the history of Edo state in his first 2 yrs in office and ir is still prevalent( just yesterday nite a senior colleague was kidnapped on his way back from work in Benin city) but in these Edo people didn't call for his resignation or call him names.. All the why he went through persecution and frustration from the then house of assembly, Edo people stood by him and understood that his underperformance is politically motivated.. The contrast is the case with GEJ , against all odds posed by saboteurs he is standing out in many other areas like power, electoral reforms, economic growth( Nigeria among the ten fastest growing economy in the world), several reforms etc.. Unlike oshomohle's Edo , Nigeria is complex and versed with multi ethnic interest and scheming but GEJ has been able to fairly touch every zone. Unlike oshobaba, Jonathan was misunderstood due to spurious propaganda by elrufai and co and had not been given time to deliver.. Unlike Oshomohle who it took 3 yrs plus to get a good framework for Edo state inspire of all the goodwill and support from the masses, GEJ is 15 months in office.
You said Edo people will mk you an enemy if you CRITICISE Oshomohle, pls don't misinform Nigerians . EDOLITES still remain the most politically enlightened people in the country.. Icriticise Oshomohle on the streets of Benin when necessary and people are after your points not to huss at you, superior argument takes the day.. You have lied against these people with high level of political tolerance though they don 't like being cheated..
I am confident, GEJ ll be the best president so far in the history of the country, this is what some elements are seeing so working tirelessly to frustrate him.. If in 15months, our confidence in the electoral system is being restored, power is relatively improved, our airports and aviation system is adjudged to have met international standard on safety, astronomical inprovement in education by esta new fed univ , increasing allocation to the highest so far in history,acceded to ASUU demands, Nigerian universities can now be found among 100 best in the world, etc, in the areas of road/ railway reconstruction/ rehabilitation pls find out.. Etc
The man is doing his best if given the conducive environment, he will do very well.. Some co operation and understanding pls.

wrexs: @Beaf...and why should the citizenry be the one solving the problem for the Government. what is the essence of having a Governement if they cant solve /profer solutions to problems threatening the lives of the people that elected them into power? Being a C-in-C gives such person the power to take decision that protects his people and not begging/intimating oppositions for advise or even pointing fingers at them...if you cant handle it, simply quit.

Skii: Kai...where was I when this thread was brewing o....

searay:
Illitracy of the century! Are you trying to say that the citizenry has no role to play in nation building?

Super1759: So this arabian goatie mallam is still talking..can elrufai swear that he dosent know anything about BH. So bad!!

Skii: [/color]

[color=#006600]Abeg Seun, we need a "dead" emoticon!! This El-Rufai's Media Advisor MURDERED Dr Okupe

Billyonaire: Nigeria is the only country that Politicians are jobless. waiting for every next four years to contest election, and if they lose, they spend another 4yrs criticizing their opponent.

cjfavour: WHAT ARE U GUYS TALKING ABOUT? WHAT HAVE U SEEN HIM DO?GOD!!!! DNT BE DECEIVED BY ALL THESE TALK OF POLICY UPON POLICIES. LONG TERM POLICY MY FOOT. THE SAME POLICY OBJ USED 8 YRS TO ESTABLISH BY DESTROYING TOLL GATES BT TODAY THEY'RE PLANNING TO BRING IT BACK,IS IT PRIVATISATION WHICH OBJ USED TO RAPE THIS COUNTRY,EVERY GOV BRING HIS OWN POLICY SO ANY POLICY DT LAST MORE THAN 2 YRS TO MATURE IS A BAD POLICY. OR HAVE U NT HEARD DT FEW YRS AFTER EXITING FOREIGN DEBT CLUB DT D SAME WOMAN DT FORCED US TO EXIT WILL IN 2013 LEAD US TO D SAME PARIS DEBT CLUB? HAVE U NT HEARD WE'LL BORROW HEAVILY IN 2013?

dedeike:
No government in the world resigns because of terrorism. Last month we saw Isreali tourists killed by a suicide bomber in Europe, no body called for the resignation of the Bulgarian president.
Till tomorrow, suicide bombings occur in parts of Isreali territory despite their sophistication in intelligence. No body called for resignation of Isreali prime minister.
When US was attacked from outside, not this our home grown terrorism, the whole America stood behind Bush. Both democrats and republicans alike. No body called for Bush's resignation.
It took America almost a decade to track the perpetrator Osama.
Even in Kenya, recently suicide bombings have been going off in parts of Kenya. No body has called for the resignation of the president.
All over the world, terrorism is considered a global threat which must be confronted by all and not playing politics with it.

If it were genocide or internal rebellion which the govt can't contend with, the international community will be calling for GEJ's resignation.
But have you ever wondered why no other country or UN or international community has not condemned GEJ talkless of asking him to resign?
It's food for thought

Elueme: My brother, if there is any murder here, it could just be your brain for not being able to fathom what Okupe meant... He never asked for a solution from elrufai, he only candidly advised him to stop throwing cautions to the wind in his criticism because ge( elrufai ) was fast losing his self worth before the sane public... He further buttressed that in a sane society, all hands are usually on deck to solve grave national challenge irrespective of politics only for the players to play politics thereafter... A critical example was d 9/11 attack on American soil.. Democrats never played politics with wat happened.. When the British had a homebred insurgency like what we are having now, did they play politics with it.. Nobody is saying that the govt is perfect but blind criticisms without telling the public how you could change the situation if you were in position is just shallow and doesn't carry any ovation to a discerning population.

I will let the same humour that I used to jest the first time allow me to overlook the bolded...so I will just laugh at it!!

Otherwise I will just deliver similar punch lines that El-Rufai's Media advisor handed Okupe...and leave you dead

Because reading the critical example ( i laugh seriously) and the rest of what you posted...I really do not see any correlation (brother indeed)

Somebody has posted (just the second post from mine) something you might find interesting

dedeike: Criticism is cheap especially when the critic is clueless. Doyin's admonition is crystal clear. If you feel that government is not doing anything, you adduce reasons why and proffrer alternative solutions. That way people will take you more serious. That is the foundation upon which credible opposition is built.

You can't just call your self an opposition leader and you repeat the same pedestrian lines that an arm chair critic in a local bar will do.

El Rufai should tell us how better he could tackle the Boko haram challenge. He should be able to say GEJ was wrong in appointing the NSA OR the CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF or the new IG of Police.
El Rufai should be able to tell us that, if we had the misfortune of having him as our president in these trying times, he would have sacked all the policemen and recruit new ones so that Boko Haram will stop.
El Rufai should tell us whether he will mount roadblocks on every street in Nigeria so as to prevent suicide bombers from killing themselves and other Nigerians on the process.
EL Rufai should come out and tell us that he wouldn't have charged Senator Ali Nfume to court or he will just shoot him directly.
El Rufai should tell us whether the setting up of JTF is wrong or not.
El Rufai should tell us that he will not be resident in Aso rock while the people are dying hence he will relocate to the streets of Maidugri and govern Nigeria from there.
El rufai should tell us that he will send drones to destroy the people of Maidugri because Boko Haram is in their midst.
Arm chair criticism never brings power. It may be popular in the interim but it has a way of leaving the person hollow at the long run.
