Abagworo: This man can be sometimes annoying but his mental frequency is extremely high. I think so too. I think he is very intelligent. Sublimely so. What sets him apart from others like him is that he is not patronising. He tends to be blunt and that is something many in humanity cannot appreciate or tolerate. Other very intelligent people who are aware of their own prowess tend to be patronising and extremely manipulative with calculatedly condescending behaviour similar to how an adult would seek to deal with a toddler. For example, even as I would not agree with his choice of words, many will not disagree with the message behind the utterance below: The rest of the world sees them as garbage despite their pretended importance (can you imagine any one asking for and listening to Jonathan on what to do about the world economy; do you listen to a nincompoop on serious matters?). It is either Osuji does not realise his intended audience are not mature enough to handle the brutal truth as he presents it or he simply does not care and may be adhering to his existential theory which means he rejects spending any minute of a finite existence engaging in fraud against his own conscience and belief. 5 Likes |

Seems to me that the writer has a very low self esteem - which he invariably projects unto others. Hear him:
Imagine that coming from an African, and some people are falling head over heel to laud him, simply because he mentioned Patience and Jonathan in the megalomaniac write-up. Shame! 2 Likes |

Like I told him in Portland, Oregon, Ozodi Osuji is an ill-educated numbskull. He is the only man who claims to know more than next door neighbor yet he does not understand the nuisances of his last name. It is very ironic Osuji kept placing the Asians in higher platform of social order than Africans in most of his conjectural craps yet he forgot to emulate the Asians who do not engage in writing craps like he does. Unlike Ozodi Osuji, Patience Faka Jonathan has yet to be sacked from her job due to petty theft. |

As Ajanlekoko alluded to on one thread, the African cultural method of frowning/discouraging deductive reasoning seems to be our bane. We think with our emotions and have neither the patience nor the will power to deal with truths and cause/effect. PEJ is repeating Turai's behaviour and somehow believes (emotionally) that she wouldn't be a non-entity in a few years time. Quite amazing given that she was very close to the action when Turai pranced around Aso rock with a false sense of superiority. I diasagree with Osuji on some points especially the IQ bits but he gave his message raw and unfiltered (very un African ) and as usual, people with no ability to discount the raised points DerideGull: Like I told him in Portland, Oregon, Ozodi Osuji is an ill-educated numbskull.

ow11: Ultimately, the crux of the article is about the 'inferior Africans', exemplified by the number of times Africans was used in the discourse. PJ was just used as an example, unless you didn't quite understand the writer's point of view. |

DerideGull: Like I told him in Portland, Oregon, Ozodi Osuji is an ill-educated numbskull. He is the only man who claims to know more than next door neighbor yet he does not understand the nuisances of his last name. What exactly did you tell him ? That he is ill-educated? And also a numbskull? i bet you believe we won't figure you lying or you just decide to garnish your opening with such lie? He stated the obvious- the truth about an average African and you are here proving him right. Did he lie when he placed japan and China on a "higher platform of social order"? Where did your "African" president - GEJ run to to beg for money? Is it Liberia or Senegal? Am sure you know its China...it is so annoying the importance we Africans attached to nothingness. we live in pursuit of vanity. We acquire everything - wealth of materials but poverty of meaningful impact. In our rush to amass our nothingness we indulge in all sort of ills - corruption. This piece do not in way make me feel any less an African it is only a reality check. if you must be reminded that Osuji is not the issue here but the point he raised then - are you ill-educated. 5 Likes |

PointB: Maybe it had two meanings. I can't deny his self-loathing but he was spot-on on her excesses and the reasons behind it. I quite agree with him given her loud mien even when the travails of her predecessor still lingers in recent memory leaves a lot to be desired about her thought process or those around her. However, extrapolating it to all Africans was too simplistic and downright insulting. We may be ruled by megalomaniacs and buffoons but the regular African is far more decent than the western stereotype which Mr Osuji has bought hook, line and sinker tries to sell. |
Re: Why Mrs. Jonathan Does The Outrageous Things She Does By Ozodi Osuji by PointB: 3:00pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
ow11: Sounds like double speak to me. Ozodi is basically saying that PJ act the way she does because she is African - that is unmistakeable. If you say that Ozodi is spot on in his analysis of PJ, as a typical African, then you invariable agree that African are as painted by Ozodi. You can't pick and choose. |

PointB: He explained her behaviour and attributed it to a reaction to the innate self awareness issues ALL humans have. That is where my agreement with his postulation ends! He later extrapolated that behaviour to be the natural reaction of an African (went off the rails with IQ tests and agbada) which I do not agree with as even the writer is African and is clearly able to react to his self awareness in a totally different way. You are trying to rule a line once again when it comes to human behaviour and yes I can pick and choose what part of a text I agree with and what I do not. This is not O level maths where an agreement with the answer to a question implies an agreement to the stated principle. We can go even further to painfully dissect his speech and say that there clearly exists a stereotypical 'African' way of handling self awareness (that way has been ascribed to Africans but does not include all Africans as Roman emperors showed that same behaviour). We could very well give it another name (Megalomania) and those that react to self awareness by showing said traits can be ascribed as such. His hurried approach to equate this behaviour to or call it African is where I disagree with him. 1 Like |

Re: Why Mrs. Jonathan Does The Outrageous Things She Does By Ozodi Osuji by PointB: 3:28pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
ow11: @bolded, Actually you got it the other way round. The writer started by characterizing Africans before bringing in PJ. In his view Patience Jonathan behave the way she does simply because she is African. I understand clearly you don't subscribe to such uncharitable characterization of Africans, I only wanted to bring it to your attention that if you say the writer is 'spot on' in his analysis and reasons, you indirectly agree with his views of Africans - as such was the foundation of his write-up. |

Osuji may have been suicidal with his choice of words, but the message is clear. Bring something to the table or shut up. Apparently, the pair we have up there have nothing up there. Scathing words from a fellow who does not seem to care whose ox or bum is gored or ripped open. |
Re: Why Mrs. Jonathan Does The Outrageous Things She Does By Ozodi Osuji by Nobody: 4:18pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
Osuji operates from a base and hollow sense of self (he mentioned in one of his writings that he is a failure in his career, romantic and social life). His projects his feelings of worthlessness, nothingness, and failure on mankind but is much particular when he does this to Africans and Igbos (perhaps because they are closer to "home" and remind him more of himself). If you take a step back and verify most of his assertions you will find that some are wrong, further proving my conclusions about him. For example, most religions and spiritual systems in Asia do not ascribe nothingness to humans. In fact, the Japanese people believe that man made objects such as machines have a soul/spirit and are accorded a level of respect. Asians, Europeans, and so forth DO NOT act on a guise of humility but of QUIET CONFIDENCE and even arrogance. He even conceded to this fact in another article of his where he mentions the reasons why many Africans do poorly on IQ tests as opposed to Asians: Low self-esteem. The problem with Osuji, his article, his critique of Patience and most of the comments agreeing with him on this thread is the real problem of Africans: Feelings of worthlessness, emptiness, and failure, continuously projected on fellow Africans in a never ending cycle of self-pity, poverty of body and mind, hatred and violence. As a man thinketh, so is he. There is no pretence of self-worth in Africans as we have enough self-loathing and inferiority complexes to go around us. Asians have little or nothing to do with this and are little more than objects used to prove how much worthless he thinks we are. I don't begrudge him his right to use media and essays as his form of therapy though. That is the only thing good about his write up. 1 Like |

Fast becoming the most hated FIRST-LADY of Nigerian politics! I shame for SOUTH-SOUTH. Whom do we blame. . .if not that WEAKLING called GEJ, who is stuck with this FETISH, DIABOLIC, ILLITERATE, OKRIKA HAG? Anyone that wants to see GEJ. . .must see her FIRST! When he wants to do some 'DIRTY JOB'. . . Mrs 'FIX-IT' to the rescue! Ha! WOMAN-WRAPPER GRADE A+++! The woman na reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal TRENCH-WENCH! In the meantime, she eats like a pig and grows fat by the day; thus, sooner or later, she would experience cardiac arrest or stroke and die. She would decay and smell like refuse. Patience Jonathan closing the streets of Lagos and Port Harcourt when she comes to party with her fellow do-nothing ladies of Nigeria is not important; what would make her important is if she dedicates her current useless life to serving Nigerians, say, by making sure that the poor shoeless children of her Ijaw neck of the woods wear shoes so that jiggers and other parasites don’t feed on their toes and shorten their lives. So sayeth PROFFFET 'OSUJI'! NICE!!!! LWKMDEAD!!!! MAKE UNA SEE WETIN OBJ. . .GIVE NIGERIANS O!PEOPLE WEY YARADUA DEAD BODI BETTER PASS! Fiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakwa!!!! 1 Like |

@ow11, @truth4meal, @omonnakoda, @Rhinoceros It is a pity one has to deal with congregation of loudmouths such as addressees in this post. I had taken Patience Faka Jonathan over Ozodi Osuji any day. Osuji is not only an extrovert but also an irresponsible narcissist. I guess only in Nigeria that malnourished punks expect a lioness to give birth to a sheep. There is a society that produced Patience Faka Jonathan and it is called Nigerian which all the finger pointers belonged. If you think Patience Faka Jonathan belongs to the society of counterculture as dumbass Ozodi Osuji would wants us to believe, who is Ozodi Osuji? When Ozodi Osuji had the followings to say about fellow Africans, “even though they are starving and come to the West to drive cabs and take care of old white folks (as assisted care workers, glorified name for nannies for old people)”, one wonders what he was doing in a healthcare provider’s office where he got fired for petty theft? I do not give rat-arse if Ozodi Osuji takes Patience Faka Jonathan to the cleaners but take offence when the moronic dingbat arrogates err of personality to his silly self when he can not navigate the way to his village of Umuohiagu in Ngor Okpuala LGA. |
