he surely said the truth "He said, “President Jonathan should know that in a motor park, there are touts and there are pick-pockets, so if some past leaders are touts, some sitting leaders are pick-pockets and thieves. So, you have to make your pick from that." the quoted shows how shameless our leaders are....their being clueless is just a icing on the cake. Kettle be calling pot black. Smh! 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Ango Abdullahi is a looser and will always remain a looser. Everything in his miserable life revolves around the civil war, unfortunately, when he could get his way, he resorts to Northern this and northern that. However, the issue is, make your point democratically and see how many people you can convince 46 Likes 2 Shares |

Jonathan has made his point. The agents of divisiveness and disaffection masquerading as statesmen should beware. It is no longer going to be business as usual after Jonathan gets sworn-in for the second term. No-one is above the laws of the land. 55 Likes 2 Shares |

I don't think there is anyone out there that genuinely likes Jonathan besides some of his Ijaw brothers who've benefited from the free for all stealing that is going on under his watch. 92 Likes 4 Shares |

Jonathan shot himself in the foot when he made that statement. Now he will be told how he is worse than those statesmen he compared to touts. And in actual sense, he is actually worse than each and everyone of them. 96 Likes 4 Shares |

So because a tout fought for the unity of the nation he should not be referred to as a tout in old age? Oh I forgot, he is now an Area Father! 23 Likes 1 Share |

If an elder statesman refuse to behave like one, then he surely deserves to be put in his place... BTW why the attack on him did he mention anyone's name specifically So why are they pained If indeed the supposed elder statesman(men) are not acting like tout, then they should not be bothered by the comments...Need i remind them that its a season of throwing stones 35 Likes 1 Share |

naijaking1: I hate to be rude, but sometimes it pains me to see people like you who r very subjective and biased in their submission or judgement. What has he done or said in reaction to what a sitting president said? This is exact problem that is killing the whole world today; my brother does something stupid to another person and I am cool with my brother's repulsive behaviour but when the other person does the same thing or worst to my brother, heaven must fall.......................... Let's stop this double standard cos what goes around, comes around Civil war this, Civil war that; C'mon, it's normal for Elder statesman to make reference to whatever they have done in the past for crying out loud. In UK and US, you ll see those oldies who fought in second world war making reference to that war in most of their political and national conversations............ 27 Likes 1 Share |

maestroferddi:Made his point my foot! All those long sermon in effort to exonerate the corrupt govt he lead for six yrs. Even an unborn baby knws Jonathan is a corruptible president worse than even a motor park. He has lost It. Those reaction its a clear evidence of what he himself has seen on ground.

MY MIND, JUST MINE cos I won't, even if I CAN force anyone 2 agree with me. 1. The ex-leaders have a right to speak their mind and speak it where, when and how they choose 2.whether they are touts, thieves, or rapists, they remain opinion leaders, we have our individual wisdom to sieve sense out of their pronouncements and throw the rubbish away 3. Jonathan has the right to DEFENd his integrity, ours is to analyse whether his defence makes any sense or not 4. Given the nose-diving popularity of jona, with almost EVERYBODY who is SOMEBODY in the Nigerian political equation attacking him, his best move should be IMMAGE LAUNDERING not counter attack, learn from intelligent politicians like Obama, Mandela, Fashola. In d Nigerian context, attacking CERTAIN people is tantamount to political suicide 5. People attend political rallies for several reasons -curiosity, pick pockets, quick business, search for babes/guys (I met my wife @ a rally in 2007 nd we are happily married), contract as paid, etc 6. Its natural to refer back to what you achieved in the past, that's ur biggest nd most convincing selling point. That is why most of us expected jona to ignore his critics nd SIMPLY tell us his PHYSICAL achievements in 6yrs nd how much he expended in achieving same. Publish ALL the corruption reports and arrest the indicted persons (even if he let's dem loose, with compensation, after he wins the polls, its a game u know?) Tell us clearly, cos we aint dumb, WHY Sanusi was suddenly sacked immediately he made it VERY CLEAR that our money was missing. EXPLAIN in one sentence why ex-militants should be awarded security contract when we have so many security officers sleeping in the barracks. Tell us briefly, why a single ex-militant is allowed to import SO MUCH arms in the face of the present unprecedented security upheavals in the country-SIMPLICITA. If satisfied, I will canvass for votes for him, even with MY LIFE! 25 Likes 3 Shares |

Clueless jona APC GMB "People accuse me of many things. But one thing they never accuse me of is corruption. They never accuse me of mediocrity, or of lying. People accuse me of many things. I have led this country and I have a record. We were not perfect, but we were effective; we solved problems, and we made Nigerians proud. In our government, we fought corruption, we stabilised the naira, and we shut down insurgencies. We shouldn't forget so soon that there was Maitatsine ravaging the north east and we dealt with it. We also overran the Chadian rebels. We rebuilt industries, Nigerians queued up and treated each other with respect; Nigerians took pride in our reputation for discipline.The world admired us. We were proud to be Nigerians. Because they can't attack our record, they accuse me falsely of ethnic jingoism; they accuse me falsely of religious fundamentalism. Because they cannot attack our record, they accuse us falsely of calling for election violence - when we have only insisted on peace. Even as Head of State, we never imposed Sha’riah. All my running mates have been either Igbo or Yoruba and always Christian. I have and will continue to condemn those who burn God's places of worship, be they churches or mosques and wish God's judgment upon them. As your President, their punishment won't stop there, we will also ensure Boko Haram and other such elements, are found, are arrested and face the full wrath of the law as punishment for their crimes against our country. My dear friends, this is very important to note: It doesn’t matter if you are Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Idoma, Efik, Ekwere, Urhobo, Igala And, no, it does not matter if you are Christian, Muslim, animist or atheist: we need a new direction under a new leadership. The task ahead will be challenging and daunting, but it is surmountable. This is what leadership is about. My only desire is to prove to you that Nigeria can truly work. Allow me prove to you that in your lifetime, you can be proud of this country. Let me make you this promise today: We will protect your children. We will protect your wealth. We will make this country work again. is why I am running for the office of the president of Nigeria. This is my promise." - Muhammadu Buhari GCFR GEJite see what a brilliant and skillful person has to say! Adopted from: BCO PDP "Before 2011 nobody voted with voters card, people vote themselves, but in 2015 people are getting voters card" (admiting that he rigged 2011) "Arresting corrupt people will not stop corruption" "Somebody says he will catch people and throw them to kikikiri" "There is nothing like corruption any more, There is no corruption in the military" "Nigeria ladies so you want to vote to go back to the kitchen and DIE there or you want to liberate yourself" "Okah was procured from South Africa to assassinate me on October 1st"- Jonathan (The same MEND that Jonathan exonerated a day after the Bombing) Other Commentators "PDP is the oldest party in Nigeria, it is the only party that didn't change logo"- Adamu Muazu, PDP Chairman "We can export rice to Washington"... PDP Anchor "In the last four years the PDP has transformed Nigeria positively on Nigeria" "All Nigerians can attest to this"- david mark, Senate President "The same way that PDP has governed other states is the same way I will govern Lagos State"--- Mr. Jimi Agbaje "Do you want to go to jail?"- Akpabio, Akwa Ibom State Governor "Are You Ready For A Change"- Olabode George!!! "He (Jonathan) gave us Hope" "Tomorrow if you want to become a business owner, the President will do it for you"- Joseph Yobo "If not for Mr President we wouldn't win the Nations cup"- Joseph Yobo 16 Likes 2 Shares |
