His visit? Belated and reactionary. Furthermore, how can he say it is a smear campaign when the facts are clear for all to see? 1 Like |

[/quote][quote author=C me o]President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday surprised the authorities of the Lagos State Police Command when he paid an unscheduled visit to the Police College, Ikeja. With the President were the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Mr. Mamaah Tsafe; the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Umar Manko and other military and air force officers. Jonathan, who arrived at the college premises at about 3 pm, immediately proceeded on an inspection tour of the hostels, college kitchen, dining hall and the Officers’ Mess. For the college authorities, the visit was nothing short of an embarrassment as the commandant of the college, CP I.F. Yerima was unable to tell the President how and when Channels TV filmed the decay in the college. In an attempt to salvage the situation, Yerima had turned to his deputy and other senior officers of the college for assistance but all kept mute. |

C me o: Make you no let me insult you o! This is the most careless statement from Jonathan? Are you serious. My friend, this is the typical statement from the person Nigerians voted for because his name is Goodluck and he has had luck getting to presidency so he would bring them luck. These kinds of statements are normal and expected from the cretin! 4 Likes |

He already scored some major points by the suprise inspection, but unfortunately he messed it up with his comments ( although I don't want to believe he said that)....I drive past that police college every sunday and I always think ''here is a waste of premium property''......what 'they' should do is to build another academy in a less developed area (e.g ogun or even bauchi, yes bauchi), with this they will have available land for expansion in future......we need to plan ahead in this country, its like we are only interested in short term solutions.......am sure the original builders of the ikeja academy didn't envisage that things will turn out this way......I can go on and on but what difference does it make, according to our constitution I need to be 30-35years before I can become a senator/representative/governor and 40 years to become a president......am just 24years.....so my voice is not been heard in this country....its just noise on social networks.....I guess I will just wait till am 30....but for now, I will 'siddon look' and pray there will still be a Nigeria for me to change when am 30.......maybe I am growing pessimistic **sighs** |

As a concerned Nigeria I want to point out what has caught my attention from the different report from diff media houses... 1stly THISDAY,GUARDIAN,TRIBUNE,DAILY INDEPENDENT and even SAHARA REPORTERS said that not even LAGOS COMMISSIONER of POLICE UMAR TANKO or AIG of ZONE 2 Mamman Tsafe were absent Stating emphatically that only the COMMANDANT OF THE COLLEGE was the HIGHEST RANKING POLICE OFFICER during the visit as even attested τ̅☺ by the pictures ...but THE NATION and PUNCH chose to say otherwise..how did they get their own report??Could both PUNCH and NATION be saying the truth and all other media houses put together be lying?? Secondly SAHARA reported the president to have asked how CHANNELS came to cover his 'surprise' visit asking who gave them permission but PUNCH and NATION said he was asking about how the initial documentary was filmed...so who should we believe I rest my case 2 Likes |

I took an exception to the President statement relating the documentary to a smear campaign on his administration, but that is if he indeed utter such statement as I don't see the correlation between the ascribed statement and the Presidential visit to the college... The statement would have sounded real if the documentary by Channels Tv was not the reality on ground but the President was able to confirm the veracity of what was captured in the documentary himself, ascribing the said statement to him sounds untrue IMO. |

I don't care what he said, he had better order the repair of that facility. How can he even say it was a smear campaign?

Sincere 9gerian: This report by Punch is most likely false, mischievous, fallacious and ridiculous. The main issue there is not what he said, it is the virtually nothing or incompetence that you are guaranteed he would do afterwards. Anyone with a brain would do the following as basic: - Order for the police budget obtained for the training college for at least the last 6 years. - Call those in charge of the budget to come and explain how the budgetary allocation was utilised. - If no tally with what is on the ground, suspend/retrench those responsible for the budget. - Ask for the performance appraisal of those suspended and retrenched. - Any of their superiors that has appraised them as performing during that period should be suspended or retrenched too. - Get lawyers to advise on presidential powers and see if you have the powers to probe their private lives. - If no powers, get your party members to raise a bill to give that power. - Probe the police officers lives and compare with their salaries, anything over they cannot explain is seized or forfeited. - Then take them to court and send them to jail. I can guarantee you that the person you are defending would not do half of that basic. He is way too daft. I came up with that in less than 10 minutes. The person you call President cannot come up with that in 3 years. He is a FOOOOOL! 8 Likes |

You don't say anything when NTA hid the truth from us but when others hid the truth you get angry.

Okay so my conclusions: 1. The police college is a mess 2. There was an ETF Loan of about 2Billion Naira, what happened to it? 3. How did John Momoh get in since this was an unannounced visit? 4. The President has seen this, so what next? 5. Channels TV covered a problem when would other TV stations create their own documentary about other social problems e.g Education, Unemployment, Housing etc this is a good step towards re 1 Like |

A-ZeD:what of what channels tv who were on ground and reported what GEJ said and I quote "Apparently responding to pictures of rot in infrastructure broadcast by Channels Television, a visibly angry president queried the authorities of the college on the state of the institution. He promised to change the tide in the college saying that his government “Will do something about the institution”, the President vowed. The chairman of Channels Television, Mr John Momoh was present during the president’s visit. This is the first time a sitting President would be visiting the Police College built over 70 years ago" I still stick with what channels reported and not the failed on arrival propoganda of paid critics. |

Thank God there are still people in this country who can see. Let me tell you a secret. The governments that enjoyed the type of support you want from Nigerians were governments that actually had societies were things like amenities and infrastructure worked, e.g libya under Gaddafi.
