Jonathan is a flop He was fidgeting. He is a stammer and a stammer is an angry person when chocks with words He tried to get personal with amanpour in his defensive but the woman was tactical and show brilliance He never professionally addressed issues thrown to him but went defensive even foolishly accusing the west of collaboration with his thieving politicians. He saw amanpour as a westerner/an imperialist rather than a journalist Amanpour saw the weaknesses in him regarding coordination, objectivity,and decided to end the interview abruptly. I used the Hilary Clinton address and answer sessions to comfort my self for Jonathan inept and stup.dity 3 Likes |

@J12 you mean Buhari? buhahaha . . . don't even go there, that one talks like a gorrilla. Amanpour will wash him to pieces. GEJ is miles away from Buhari when it comes to public speaking. |

Billyonaire: Nigeria's problem is structural deficiency called Federal Character ... which is another way for 'we stupidly do not want to let the state governments have powers'. And the solution lies with the National Assembly. Some day, someone will teach us that the only form of government that can work is 'Confederal System' where each state will have their Police departments to tackle security and immigration. Each state will control her resources and pay royalties to Abuja. Each State will take her destiny in her hands and give her people a better life. There is no way on Earth that someone in Abuja will understand the plight of people in my village, but a state government and local government chairmen do. Even Jesus Christ cant be a good President of Nigeria cos the system has structural defect and the sooner we change it the better. China and USA got their governing structure right. AUTONOMY OF STATES OR REGIONS IS THE WAY FORWARD.My dear some states have no resources except sand. The confederation idea is a good one, but it won't be fair on some states. The poorer states lack infrastructure and any meaningful development. Even the wealth of the richer states has been plundered and looted by our thieving politicians. Nigeria needs drastic unconventional intervention. Some folks need to be eliminated or exiled for this land to survive. |

The job of a president is to carry his whole country on his shoulders with poise and guile. In a World where where the international community is now closely connected , one of the main job of a president is to look presidential at all times. I am afraid, our dear Jonathan is everything but presidential. when you are doing an interview, even if the person interviewing you is not standing or sitting right in front of you, the norm is to look at the camera as if the interviewer is in front of you. This will show that you are serious about what you are saying, not scared to address tough issues and a look of confidence. Looking down like a small boy with his hands caught in the cookie jar is not the way a president of a population of 180 million should conduct himself during an interview. Jonathan has no charisma. Thats not a fault of his, charisma is something you are born with and it does not necessarily make you a good president. Many world are not charismatic but please, if you know you are not good public speaking or interview, you need to get some professionals in to start coaching you. Do you think obama, mandela and all the other good orators just became good at public speaking like that, it takes a lot of coaching and practising. Even David Cameron has people that advises and teaches him how to public speak and feel comfortable when doing interviews. But having said all that, it is not really about public speaking, look at Hitler, Stalin, Gaddaffi etc who excelled at public speaking but had bad intentions. its all about whether a president gets the job done or not. 1 Like |

What do you mean by confidence? How do you determine confidence by the movement of the lips? Does 'oratory' determine quality of governance? And why are we comparing GEJ to obama,when they are different people. Obama the so-called orator has not done anything significant both in his first and second tenure yet. I was looking forward to the analysis of the transcript,and not this nonsense about 'confidence'. Smh at the idiotts on this thread. |

lacasa: Summary of the brief Q&a: Your report of the interview here shows why Nigeria is not getting it right because you either intentionally give your own answers and put GEJ there or you are not good at 'Summary' in school. For example, he confirmed that oil theft is still there and he is working to reduce it. Also,the crude is not refined in Nigeria and as such the international community must stand up against what is wrong by making it impossible for stolen crudes to be refined or allowed into their countries. On the issue of power, he mentioned that even if the money to build power generating facility is available, the infrastrusture will not be ready immediately. You can check CNN for the full interview once again. 1 Like |

His confidence is not my problem. He just was not ready to lead. For example. Fresh Air and a vague Transformation agenda without focus is the Vision that GEJ has for Nigeria. At least Yaradua had focus with his 7point Agenda. GEJ makes a lot of unsubtantiated statements. Remember that after the October 1st bombings he declared to the whole world "we know who they are,... We know the sponsors". Till date we have not seen "who they are" GEJ treats corruption lightly. Till date nothing has been done about Farook and Otedola. They have not even been arrained in court. Yet he says the fight against corruption is on. By saying he doesnt give a damm about declaring his assets he allieniated himself from the Nigerians and set a bad example for other public officers. Would he have dared to make such a statement when he was seeking the vote of ordinary Nigerians? He is more reactive than proactive. He keeps blaming unseen enemies and labeling constructive critics.....as sponsored by the opposition to discredit his administration. My 2cents 2 Likes |

Pygru: Nigeria battles to stop spread of al Qaeda chaos in AfricaI missed the interview thanks to PHCN, but if this is how it went I really don't c y Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ have a negative perception of GEj. He is not a confident speaker which so many world leaders have same problems. The fact is there are a lot of decisions GEJ has made to prevent nigeria from another civil war, I rather have a president who thinks before acting rather than act before thinking. If GEJ act the way most nigeria wants him to act the innocent 1s will suffer that's a fact. I think its good he waited cos it better to cut the head of Boko haram in mali den the bodies will whether and die. |

People why I Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ so bothered how GEJ looked or how he stood. I now understand our problems. Most of us Nigeria have a permanent believe that nothing Good ever will come out from Nigeria.

Billyonaire: GEJ is the best president Nigeria ever had. I want someone to disagree with me. GEJ is not an orator, but he is sure to do the right things with principles of humanitarian alacrity, I want someone to disagree with me. GEJ is not the best Nigerian for the Top Job, but currently he is our President and merits our Respect, Love and Support as we can not take him off his job until his tenures expire, I want someone to agree with me. For those whose jobs are to criticize, I dare you to look in the mirror and prove to me that you are more educated, more intelligent and more humble than Lord GEJ. I will end it by saying, if you drag a man at the top of the ladder by the leg, when he is falling, he is pushing you all the way down and his impact at landing will mutilate your organs. Love your president, there is more to Patriotism, it is a Godly command. Peace Profound! seconded |

What did he do, other than propose six-year single tenure? |

[quote author=anataala][/quote] I very much agree with you, must super powers if not all are funding and benefiting from the corruption taking place in Nigeria, E.g must Oil Multinationals company in Nigeria if not all are very corrupt, and there home countries is very much aware of their activities, Mobil, Chevron, Halliburton (USA) Shell, (UK & Holland), TOTAL, (France)AGIP (Italy). All these companies mentioned above have one way or the other destroyed this country in order for them to take out oil. 1 Like |

we all are looking at the now without looking at what the future holds, i am not a GEJ fan but the myopic nature of the criticisms of this man will for ever leave a scar in our leadership, it is wrong to criticise anyone the way this man has been criticised, if he drinks water with a rubber cup people scream he drinks water like a pauper stupid fisher man from a otueke, if he does same with a glass cup they scream he has used all our cash to buy fancy cups, go back nigeria history and play the interviews of past presidents even obj not to mention YARADUA and tell me how much of an orator these guys were, what you guys don’t see is the fact that when a northerner becomes president again the barrage of criticism that will come from the south will be more than he can bear, they will pick on everything he or she does whether good or bad, this is not how to go about criticising someone it is not good for our democracy, the bitterness and bad-fate in the criticisms are too much, lets be objective and reasonable with our criticism. the best way to criticise anyone you want to improve is to first tell him at least one positive about what he has done and tell him three that needs improvement, that is how civilised people criticise, there is a criticism that seeks to pull down and another that seeks to make good or repair. 2 Likes |
