Y insult GEJ and family like this...
What has he really done...?

Seriously? You want to know what he has done? He has made the economy of the nation worst

He has successfully divided the country into ethnics and religious lines simply because he wants power.

He has given us a first lady that his a disgrace to the country's image and the constitution of the country. No first lady the world over is as powerful as PEJ.

He has termed stealing is not corruption. Even oxford are currently trying to amend the meaning of the word "corruption". Kudos GEJ.

He has treated the north east as though they are not part of Nigeria.

GEJ has made us believe going to see console victims of diasters and their familes is a crime hence he has not for one visits the north east.

GEJ has ensured people can walk into a court and beat up the judge right inside the court.

GEJ has show to be intolerant to people who are opposed to your ideas and style of rulership is a crime.

GEJ is the first president to stop the legistative from doing their duties.

Under GEJ's watch, our naira has lost about 20% of it value.

Under GEJ's watch, the money paid for subsidy has increased by over 300% yet there has been an increase in pump prices.

You want me to continue? I got some free time.

NOW GEJ has given all Nigerians FREEDOM of speech...
Nigerians now take turns to berate him.
IF he were, to assume the position of ABACHA now ,people wil still complain...
He is already acting like Abacha. Even Abacha won't have stopped the lawmakers from doing their duties. He sent police after the opposition all in the name of card cloning. Isn't that Abacha like?

4ME, this BOKO-HARAM, don't even know what they are doing to their communities and themselves...
THIS IS JUST D GENESIS OF POVERTY in the north.
I agree with you there but when a child does not know what he is doing, a father ( president ) puts his aright. GEJ who claims he has not visited the north because he could be killed expects the military to work gallantly to put an end to the mess? Na, you lead by example. If he is afraid to go, why should the military men go? Don't tell me he is a civilian? He may be but he knows he was going to be the grand commander of the armed forces and he contested. No one forced it on him and if he is not comfortable, he can always resign.

Substantiate your accusations with evidences. At least we all see the evidences of Jonathan's incompetency and unbridled corruption. During Jonathan's administration, more innocent lives than ever have been lost because he has failed to deliver on the promises of national security he swore to. If by voting Jonathan out, no more lives would be lost, no more insecurity in Nigeria, no more corruption, no more interference in state affairs by the wife of the president, I would rather vote him out and secure the next innocent life from been lost. Do I want to see another life lost because Jonathan is incompetent..... hell NO.

I blame GEJ, he's too gentle, he needs to give some of these noise makers the treatment Abacha and OBJ were good at. Where was this cultist when Abacha was alive, didn't he cowardly ran to exile, today he has found his voice after collecting brown envelope from Amaechi his illegitimate inlaw.
Writing novels for primary school pupils doesn't give Soyinka the power to be insulting the president of Nigeria.

Where is Abacha today? You are threatening a veteran of so many battles! Where are all the tyrants of yesterday? Kongi is still standing. All you can do for King Nebuchadnezzar at this point is to make sure he has enough grass to chop in 2015.

It's not mandatory for you to write in English you know. He's a mad professor? And a clown like you can't even put two correct sentences together. Were you born a f00l or this is a lifetime achievement for you? If you achieve half of what Soyinka has achieved if you ever reach his age you should thank your lucky star. But I highly doubt that will ever happen. Keep sucking up to anything that is gej is life is made he can always run away to any island and live the rest of his life in wealth; you and your kind are the clowns stucked.
