Excellent performance. Lets give GEJ a chance, give him reasonable time to turn situation around.

comradefery: What do you expect when most of the present Nigerian youths are only good at chatting, defrauding, indulging in Exam malpractices, cultism and discussing useless things that they hardly have the time to read their books, listen to news, research, and study our political development with keen interest so that even when they want to disagree with views and actions of individuals/leaders, they will do it with high sense of responsibility,civility, decency,and decorum, while presenting intelligent arguments predicated on facts.I pray that all those who have jettisoned healthy and constructive criticisms and resorted to vilifying Jonathan and his Family will live to be vilified, insulted and humiliated by others.Unfortunately, most of them will never dream of attaining Goodluck Jonathan's height both Politically and Academically.

Are you praying or cursing?
This is a Jonathan supporter vilifying Yaradua while he was still president.
Nobody criticised him for his language. Nobody pointed out that Yaradua was old enough to be his father
It was not necessary to remember that the office of the president should be respected
But we have ti respect the President now that "our man" is there
This was in April 2010
BTW - I don't abuse people, but you have to be fair in cautioning people who do
And stop cursing - you are making it worse

Jakumo: Much has been said about the DRAMATIC improvement in the supply of grid electrical power to Nigeria over the past few months, but a new thread is still in order, since Jonathan Goodluck has slayed a monster that NO OTHER Nigerian head of state DARED tackle at any time over the past 30 years.

It began virtually the instant President Goodluck took over from the long dead and entirely worthless Ex-President Yar Adua, with lights and electrical appliances flickering to life all over Nigeria for the first time in the living memory of any person less than 30 years old, and now, there flows near 24-hour stable electrical power over vast, long forgotten swathes of a land formerly condemned to permanent darkness.

Evidently, President Goodluck single handedly confronted, defeated and uprooted that profoundly evil gang of criminals who held on to key jobs in the national electrical utility company, exploiting their access to the key equipment for the devious purpose of profiteering from Nigeria's electrical blackout by making sure all electrical outlets remained permanently dead. With President Goodluck now DIRECTLY running Nigeria's electrical power sector, all the worn-out excuses for the perennial blackout have miraculously vanished overnight. This accomplishent is almost beyond comprehension, and is without equal in Nigeria's entire history.

If there is a minor regret most Nigerians may quietly harbor in the wake of this astonishing development, it would probably be that those squalid, greedy saboteurs of the country's power supply capability cannot simply be lined up against a wall and shot to pieces in a hail of machinegun fire before an exultant crowd.

All in all, Jonathan Goodluck ALREADY qualifies as Nigeria's MIRACLE MAN, for he has accomplished the seemingly impossible in virtually no time at all. Bravo Johnny ! You is da MAN ! Take my wife, please ! I would be greatly honored.

ITbomb: [size=20pt]I DON'T GIVE A DAMN[/size]

He doesn't give a damn too and he said on 'live tv' when he declared he does not care what the law says about asset declaration law, he will not obey it.

empty!

The man try abeg! Haters

dammytosh: Compared to the GEJ we know.


I score him 95%. Those criticizing this interview did not watch but read the summary from Tinubu and ACN controlled media.

New believer

Carlmax: He spoke more like a Village elder than a president, however the chat was enlightening and I was positively surprised as he performed more than I expected... In fact I score him 85% for insightful answers, Relax atmosphere and an air of direction.. Never tot I wud say dis abt Ebele.

another new believer

Louis88: I totally believe in GEJ now after watching that media chat,the man is in charge,and when I say in charge I mean totally in charge.

believer welcome

The man is a PHD holder for pete's sake . . . . if this is the level of discourse we expect from PHD holders, no wonder the school system is in rotten state even with the highest number of PHD holders in the world ranking Nigeria continues to enjoy . .

Does that f00lish shoeless and clueless one have anything worthwhile to render?

Who bothers listening and reading the words of that retardeen?!

As for the rating, it is: -5%

Epic failure, sure as constant as PHCN.

Jona expects the bulk of his compatriots to live at the post-conventional stage of universal ethical principles -which is highly impossible- but won't live beyond the pre-conventional stage by declaring his assets. Tell me this ogogoro is not working wonders. A bloody hypocrite you have as a leader. Is that what transparency in governance means to him?

BetaThings:
The economy has been growing since 1999
We have never had a recession since 1999

Nobody hates Jonathan because he is Ijaw
This is a major problem with you guys - It is South South people who started talking about 2015 less than 1 year into Jonathan administration.
Go and re-read here on Nairaland (2008 - 2010) what people said about Yaradua - Yaradull, Snail, Baba Go Slow etc
People also called Obasanjo names - baboon etc
Nobody said that was because he is Yoruba
Nigerians have always criticised their presidents
Nigerians will criticise Jonathan - whether he is Ijaw or Hausa or Yoruba or Ibo
Jonathan is milking the internet for cheap publicity - look at the swarm here by you guys with your multiple IDs
Yet Jonathan is playing victims that people with multiple IDs are criticising him
And he is the one "who brought facebook to Nigeria"
He is the one updating his facebook page while asleep
He is the one who turned posts from his facebook page into a book

Boko Haram is an issue just like MEND (and at a time Boko Haram) was an issue for Yaradua
Yaradua government could not meet the budget projections from oil sales - not so Jonathan
Boko Haram is disrupting economic activities but Jonathan is still selling oil and he can fight Boko Haram with that money
MEND did not allow Yaradua and Obasanjo to do that

The response to the strike at Ojota was military confrontation - that eliminated a lot of goodwill
Has the same decisiveness been seen in the fight against corruption
- but why are the subsidy crooks not sweating now?
Who has he jailed?

I am happy that you have made a u-turn on the economic situation of this country, you that aid we are fast losing our foreign reserve and are gradually getting broke now say that our economy has been growing since 1999 and that we have never had economic recession since 1999 ( how many tongues do you have?). You should respect your elders,especially those in authority,do you have any spiritual upbringing at all? Who told you it is south south people that started talking about 2015? The main actor in this play has not said anything about it,even yesterday and I believe he is the best positioned person to talk about 2015. Nobody is saying don't criticise him,am just saying be factual,respectful and constructive,unless you are from the worst ghetto where manners are not taught. If truth be said, the boko haram insurgency took a new turn from the day GEJ a sworn in as a president and whether you want to accept it or not, it is because he is from the south south and was promised an uncomfortable government. Beat it loser!

Did I miss something? Did the president really say "I don't give a damn" dring the chat?

wait o,it's like his guy is kobojunkie,what a shame,is your brain fried? Try a new post.

ndu_chucks: Did I miss something? Did the president really say "I don't give a damn" dring the chat?

_{Olofofo to the rescue!!}

YES HE DID . . . it is already in the papers and everyone is talking of it. He said he did not believe in declaring his assets because it would go public. He even admitted that he tried to discourage Yar adua from declaring his assets but yar adua refused.

obongoboy: clueless

If only you can at least make a point.

sunkoye: empty!

You have not done any better, as your psot is just "empty".

khattab008:
By the way who is Jonathan sef he's equally a nobody

I dont know you are and what makes you "somebody", but incidentally, this "nobody" you are talking about the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic on Nigeria. Just last week, he was across the globe, discussing and putting heads together with who is who on the earth! What a "nobody"!

elampiro: I missed it. But the responses here show there is hope.

There is hope, the man is focused and firm, irrespective of what the Nigerian mobsters are thinking. My only pain is that this country does not deserve such a leader. Nigeria needs gangsters who violent and trigger happy.

Clerverly: Incompetent, incompetent and deluded.

Unfortunately, someone once said, "we see things the way we are, not the way they are".

Kobojunkie:

exactly when did he use "I don't give a damn" or is there a thought analyser on your tv?

get a PHD first,going towards his academic achievement will only shred the little dignity you have left. Junkie!

The moment they asked him about Rail-transport & said they should not ask him that, & gently tune my Tv to football match. He was too calculative and not sure of his self ability to defend himself, incase opposition disagree with him.

Oluwadare: The moment they asked him about Rail-transport & said they should not ask him that, & gently tune my Tv to football match. He was too calculative and not sure of his self ability to defend himself, incase opposition disagree with him.

No no, it was Power that he said they should not ask him of. And then he proceeded to say NOTHING new of the power situation but tell Nigerians how hopeless they really were . . . .

I have made U-turn? Where? How?
Please prove that I said any of those!
What money will turn people into!!

Mandelaguy: You should respect your elders,especially those in authority,do you have any spiritual upbringing at all?

So you are my elder now? And I don't respect you? And I don't have spiritual upbringing?
And you do have it? Lying, curing, making wild allegations
Thank God I don't have that breeding you are demonstrating here

Sir Edwin Clark himself unless he is no longer from South South
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/clark-jonathan-will-run-in-2015/116548/
BTW if EK Clark cannot speak for Jonathan, who can?
And why should I believe what you say about Jonathan administration, if he must make all announcements personally
Of course you are saying we should not criticise Jonathan, turning abusive diverting attention from the issue by raising tribal bias
If anyone is abusive and disrespectful, it is you
I am quite sure that on issue of manners, you don't have the moral right to accuse anyone
Whenever you come around in your various identities/reincarnations or with your retinue - dollarman, mandelaguy,dedeike etc - it is abuse, abuse, abuse and tomfoolery
One wonders why somebody with a PhD who is supposed to be able to put criticism down with superior logic will resort to people who can only come up with bare-faced lies, twist statements etc,

You are forgetting that MEND promised to make this country ungovernable if Jonathan did not become president
The people who made that threat to make life difficult for Jonathan, who are they? when did they make that promise? Where are they?
Proof, Proof, if you are truthful
And why is C-in-C not after them?
BTW if EC Clark cannot speak for Jonathan, who are the people who spoke for the people who made the threat

Mandelaguy: Beat it loser!

Loser? Hahaha - It is a pity! you are the one that has lost your God-given power of objectivity, ability to tell the truth, the lessons you were taught as a child about honesty, integrity, fairness
For what? Ask yourself,
Sleep over how you are conducting yourself,
Is this the person you dreamt of becoming
Is this your vision? To sell your conscience, your soul?

gej to me is not fit to rule this nation 9ja need some1 wit iron hand and fist!! I tink this will be an eye opener for us,i dont mind if ibo hausa or yoruba rule all i want is someone that is competent not retrarrdeen or clueless guy,we should leave bigotry and tribe aside we are great pple.

Kobojunkie:

Stop lying on behalf of those you elected to spend your own money.

He did not talk about any power sector reforms. He in fact steered clear of making any definite statements on power as it was pretty clear he was not up to date on what is going on in that sector.

You must have been watching Africa Magic, Big Brother or England vs Italy not to have heard what he said on power

whatever you call yourself,I am MANDELAGUY and my other NL account has been on since 1998 and I have never used it to join any political talk or issue. About the other names you quoted, I am not them,you only feel so because that is your stock in trade, using different names and pseudos to justify yourself to your paymasters. I was rolling with laughter when I read how you were quoting me out of contest( as if people cannot read our dialogue) and if you can do that to me who is logged on on this forum,how much more your president who cannot defend himself? You think that most people on this forum have not deciphered that you ae kobojunkie? Hahahahahahahahahaha, frantic struggling hater. When MANDELAGUY was blocked, I registered MANDELAGUY1 and asked why I should be blocked, I could have used your so mentioned pseudos or come under another name, but no...this is my identity and I cannot change it.

If he rules with an iron hand, he will not suffer fools like you gladly. In the days of iron fisted leaders like Abacha, Buhari, IBB, Nigerians cried out for a change. Today, God has given us a kind, compassionate, humane, responsive and responsible leader and you're asking us to revert to the days of iron fist. God will punish you.

I didn't bother to watch the media chat because I don't believe in what I hear but what I see,settled for the Euro 2012.

My questions:
* how will the chat change the economy
* will the chat return our foreign to USD60bn
* will the chat improve power because we have power supply for over ten days
* will the chat return the billions stolen by subsidy managers
* will the chat stop Boko Bombings because the June deadly given by GEJ is up
* will the chat improve our declined standard of education

All I hear is talk,I want visible results. With USD3bn in foreign reserve Nigeria is doom already and that's where GEJ should focus instead of wasting public funds broadcasting media chat,Spain has more money in foreign than Nigeria yet struggling and what will be our faith.

Not impressed with calls not getting through

Was there Nairaland in 1998?

You are mistaken, very very mistaken
If you really laughed, then the situation is worse than I feared

Who was his father too?Remember he had no shoe..In as much as i dont subscribe to insulting him,the man is not living to what people expected from him.So,let them talk..As for me,i never voted him and am still waiting for him to prove me wrong.
