Bomb blast: A burden we must live with – President Jonathan
"The issue of bombing is one of the burdens we must live with until it fizzles out." - Goodluck Jonathan.
The President said this yesterday Sunday Dec 25th when he received a delegation of the Christian Community in FCT led by FCT Minister Bala Mohammed after the BOMBING of a Catholic Church in Suleja.
I am so tired of this man,he should step down or surrender himself to Boko Haram so they can stop killing innocent citizens....Goodluck has brought too many badluck to our dear country,instead of him to address d issue of security,d fool is busy with how he will remove Fuel subsidy nd increase the suffering of massess that voted for him......God will judge u oooo GEJ!
seriously???? is that what GEJ is saying or some one just put that (a burden we must live with)as a headline?. Don't blame him 'cos he hasn't lost a loved one. I wish the military will take over so that the entire senators etc will be scrapped. This bomb blast can't take place under OBJ watch.
We the smart Nigerian's knew the guy was no good. I guess bomb blast is a burden those who voted him must live with, not me. I never supported the guy one bit.
Where are all d stupid musicians like Dbanj,tiwa savage,sunny N etc dat campaign 4 him and sang dat stupid song 'gudluck 2 them' are they seeing what it has yielded
Well until they bomb or kill him or his immediate family, nigerians will continue to live with the attacks. Shine your eyes people he don't give a danm until his person is hit!!!
Boko Haram: Jonathan set to overhaul security agencies By Yusuf Alli
Barring last minute change of mind, President Goodluck Jonathan will soon overhaul security agencies in the country to tackle the menace of Boko Haram. Some heads of a few agencies and top security officers might be affected. Investigation by our correspondent revealed that the overhaul might be part of the pre-New Year security package by the President. It was gathered that the President is not happy that there is no synergy among some security agencies. It was also learnt that security reports made available to the President suggested that some security officers, in charge of sensitive commands, do not know their jobs. A highly-placed source, who spoke in confidence, said the President has made up his mind to wield the big stick to prove a point that he knows what he is doing. He said: “Very soon, there will be a security overhaul in some key agencies by the President. There will be a major shake-up. “The fact that Jonathan is keeping quiet does not mean that he is weak. Can you be a sitting President and there will be security lapses and keep quiet? “Look at what happened between two security agencies when a Boko Haram leader escaped from custody. Do you think the President will be blind to such a lapse? “Even the latest explosion in Kaduna upset the President over a flimsy excuse by the police that it was as a result of gas cylinders. Whereas the security report available to the President was to the contrary. “I can assure you that on or before January the issue of Boko Haram will come to an end.” Replying a question, the source added: “The details of the shake-up are being worked out but the President has made up his mind.” He also said that more influential Nigerians allegedly sponsoring the Boko Haram sect might be exposed, arrested and made to face trial. “If you hear the names of these sponsors, you will be shocked. It is so bad that some Nigerians do not mean well for this country. “Already a Senator is undergoing trial but we have more of such bigwigs bankrolling this sect.”
'Nigerian Taliban' threat prompts US military training
The US army provided counter-insurgency training to Nigerian troops battling a rise in attacks by Islamist militants, the Nigerian military has revealed.
The military said some battalions had received training in the US. "The army is in the process of setting up a division that is effectively looking at warfare tactics," a spokesman said. "Various battalions were in the United States earlier this year for training to that end."
It is though these include specialist units such as bomb disposal.
US officials confirmed it has a longstanding deal with Nigeria with soldiers travelling to America for training. It could not comment on whether the exercises was aimed at combating Boko Haram.
While I am not surprised by the absurdity of our failing president, your opinion is absent. You are more vocal talking about sex and other seemingly trivial matters....smh!
All of you clueless people chatting shit online are pissing me off. Condemn Boko Haram and their sponsors, but leave GEJ alone.
You're a naive ignorant little fool. GEJ will never step down. He did not kill anyone. The killings are not his fault. Just because you and some other ignorant bastards chatting shit don't have the list of his effort to put and end to Boko Haram don't mean he's sitting on his hands. When Abacha and IBB were directly slauthering southerners, did you or your father publicly or privately ask them to step down. GEJ is not a magician or dictator. He will do and act within the law. He must be given a chance. Aso Rock is not the birthright of Muslims or northerners.
President Bad luck’s crass repetitive untoward expressions at every bomb blast incident have become a blueprint for a state heading towards anarchy and doom. My fellow Nigerians, the challenge of understanding the Boko Haram quagmire and the cabal of bomb plotters is beyond the PhD degree of the President and his rag-tag charlatans masquerading to be advisers. Our case is indeed that of an oxymoron ‘we don enter ‘one chance’. God help us!
Even as I take the piss out of Bushisms, here is what he said immediately after 9/11:
// The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.//
no apologies on this one. of all the presidents that has ever ruled my country nigeria, despite their failure, jonathan is the most useless n annoying of them all. i wish boko can bomb him, let us know wat next to do. am tired of this shit of a man called president and his "gbogun-ish" grammar wife
Badluck Ebele jonathan! I am of the opinion that you shud resign! If i should calculate the number of souls who have perished in ur administration, its enough to make up two solid states!
Kunle at bukchris...u are the biggest fool on earth...From ur write-up it is obvious that ur knowledge of governance is very limited. For future reference, if u don’t know what to say/write, pls shut it!! and stop being abusive to all nigerians...for ur info..MR PRESIDENT is the chief security officer of the country by virtue of the oath of office he took when he was sworn in as the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces...billions of naira is earmarked for security annually..therefore he takes responsibility for any security lapses in the country as in the case of Boko Haram insurgence. what the people are saying is he should take a decisive and everlasting action now to curb these senseless killings..this is a democratically elected govt so to say as opposed to totalitarian regimes synonymous with ABACHA or IBB. And if MR PRESIDENT is so timid and naive to take effective actions to curb these killings, he should do the honourable thing by resigning. For him to say "bomb blast is a burden we must live with" is not just on...this is an insult on the psyche of all peace-loving Nigerians...innocent people got killed today..It could be anybody tomorrow including u KUNLE..therefore i say MR PRESIDENT should step down for being incompetent to tackle the security lapses that have now become the rule in Nigeria
Linda, Yesterday I was furious! I even advocated retaliatory strikes against these conceited bastards...then I heard our president say that Boko Haram will get tired of bombing. I couldn't stop laughing....Then when I stopped laffing, I got down on my knees and prayed this prayer" Oh Lord our God, they said you gave us Jonathan to take us to the promised land. They said you anointed him yo rule your people (that is if we are still your people). Oh God I dont doubt you but I am beginning to doubt these your messengers. Please Lord if truly you anointed Jonathan to rule us, we ask for forgiveness because it can only be to punish us that you made him our president. If you did not, please have mercy on us and remove him like his oga and while you are at it, bend the mouth of all those your messengers...Amen
I pray that Boko Haram Bomb Southeast Nigeria Very well. I pray they find a way to Bomb Southeast very heavily. Those Idiots in Southeast Rigged the election massively for GEJ. We all knew Buhari would have been much better. Nigeria needs a mix of Dictatorship and democracy for things to change. Buhari did NOT steal money when he was in his 40s why would he steal in his 60s. Nigeria was very orderly during Buhari's time. How can only Democracy work in the midst of Semi-Animals??
Until we all see the bombing beyond religious grounds and accept that those killed are fellow nigerians we cannot collectively address the issue.the presidency has failed nigerians on their sworn constituitional oat to protect the lives and propeties of every Nigerian.
The Boko Haram menace and other security threats in the country must be effectively addressed by all means. Shedding the blood of innocent persons is an abomination before God and clearly condemned by our faiths. It is also a crime against the laws of the nation. Those found culpable should be charged under the criminal/penal code with murder. You all should focus and condemn the criminals, Boko Haram. Our president is doing his best. He didn't kill anyone. For the sake of unity in the country that's why he's not released the list of highly placed Nigerians who are using Boko Haram to campaign for their personal and regional objectives. Y'all should blame Sultan of Sokoto and his fellow Fulani / Hausa people. Only them can tell Boko Haram to stop their lunatic behaviour, but they won't cos Boko Haram is their creation and mask.
"Disturbances in society are never more fearful than when those who are stirring up the trouble can use the pretext of religion to mask their true designs." ~ Denis Diderot.
“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” ~ Oscar Wilde.
my prayer for the new year is that dis idiotic resident of aso rock should have his whole family bombed to hell.Lets see if he will make such stupid pronouncements then.Useless man!! Better post this Linda!!!
All of you saying its not the fault of the president look at this " He also said that more influential Nigerians allegedly sponsoring the Boko Haram sect might be exposed, arrested and made to face trial. “If you hear the names of these sponsors, you will be shocked. It is so bad that some Nigerians do not mean well for this country"" He has all their names yet he couldn't do shit about it, what sort of president is he ? So so weak, he needs to do something people will see and not overhauling same people in the system. For the record GEJ is not doing it right .
GEJ is a FAILURE. He does not have what it takes to be a leader and his lack of leadership is the PRIMARY reason there is growing insecurity in Nigeria including boko haram attacks. GEJ is the same person that went to meet with some boko haramists to beg them to stop the attacks. He should be IMPEACHED for this and for being incompetent.
Since GEJ is clueless as to how to proceed, let me give him a few tips on how to make Nigeria more secure:
1. Stop stealing public funds b/c one it is wrong, two, it prevents you from having the money to meet the peoples' needs, and three, its not your effing money.
2. Alleviate poverty and suffering in Nigeria. It is not normal anymore for human beings in a supposedly modern country called Nigeria to live with inconsistent electricity,non-existent running water, barely there road networks, non-working hospitals, and a failed justice system. These things contribute to an environment for boko haram and their ilk to thrive. When people have nothing and are given nothing by their government, they are not invested in the community and therefore, have zero qualms about bombing others.
3. Have an immediate response to boko haram such as air strikes on the villages of the boko haramists and public executions if need be. If they want to go to war, then so be it. Give them hell.
2. Engage the assistance of UK and USA if need be for short term and long term responses to the problem. Both countries have an interest in addressing terrorist threats.
3. Seal the northern border with Chad by erecting a high electronic fence similar to the ones the US is erecting between itself and Mexico. That northern border is porous and unsecured.
4. Implement a mandatory national identification system that is picture and fingerprint based so that we know who is who in Nigeria. Pattern it after passport type identification so that it is electronic as well.
I can go on and on, but ultimately GEJ needs to shine his eyes otherwise, we will get to a place where Nigerians will engage in self help and one of two things will happen: civil/ethnic war or the military will take over.
U people shud liv GEJ alone and blame the foolish nothern leaders dat can't control their stupid animals called alumajiri, wat ve dey done since all dis days to tame the blood sucking animals called boka haram

@Yusuf Ali..hope u right...got nuff..widows..orphans..cannot continue like this!!.. The North cannot benefit from this they have fought tooth and nail to keep Nja together..so its got to be a few individuals that missed out when GEJ won!!..amd hell bent on making it to be a Christian vs Muslim war...like Indian we shouldn't go into a full scale war we need to terminate them like the cockroaches they are..
I have more intelligence in my little finger compared to this IDIOT called Jonathan! Wikileaks report has it that the US does NOT have any confidence in GEJ and that Nigeria will disentigrate within the next 10yrs!! Maybe this is the begining of the end of what is called Nigeria....
You lot - Nigerians are hard to please and very very ungovernable. If Obama was from South South or South East Nigeria, there's not much he can do cos he'd be outnumbered by fools and ignoramus who chat shit not based on facts or evidence. Naija people fuckin moan too much. Regardless of what you lot are saying with your stinking mouths, GEJ must not step down. I'm not his supporter and neither do I support PDP or their policies. I am Yoruba. I don't know GEJ. I am not from his part of the country. He's being bullied by northern leaders and ex-governor. I am agsinst that. Open your minds to the truth of what GEJ is facing at the hands of Hausa people. They are retaliating because he defied them by standing for the 2011 election. I'm feed up of you lot erroneously believing that only northern Muslims or northern christians can or have God given right to occupy leadership positions. Hell no. Y'all are doing exactly what Boko Haram wants - to wrongly accuse GEJ of ineptitude and incompetence and hounded out and a northerner takes over. Hell no. GEJ must stand his ground. It's his legal right to serve his term of office to the best of his abilities and in peace. You lot must open your brains and myopic existence to the truth of what those divisive and rotten northern leaders are deliberately doing to sabotage GEJ's administration and distablise the country. If we allow them, they will keep doing it. Its wrong and unlawful. I hate fools. Y'all are acting like the biggest fools of the past 100 years and the next 100 years :(
Haters and critiques of President Goodluck Jonathan are closet supporters of Boko Haram, Sharia Law, Islamic Banking, Hausa / Fulani Domination, Oppressive Millitary Dictatorship.

Ermmmmmm @Anon 2:04PM; Tinubu also helped to massively rig elections in d south-west so should boko haram also come n bomb us here?Abeg softly softly O! GEJ abi wetin dem dey call u,you are a massive failure to we Nigerians!We should live with the fear of boko haram while u fortify urself and ur incompetent ilk with #5 billion security gadgets abi?May d God of Elijah visit upon u,ur cohorts and all ur generations his wrath!Egbesu cannot save u from it!
I dont think i have words to match the feelings of people affected. This just shows you how disconnected he is from the country, i cant believe he has till 2015. (Cos i no impeachment is almost impossible)
I wonder how Nigerian government celebrates no improvement whatsoever. Last I checked, celebrations had something to positive progress. It's 51 years and we have nothing to boast of if not cassava bread and murderous atrocities and a cliche that Nigerians are Happy people. Let us not forget that the saddest people have the most beautiful smile to cover their sorrow. So having a smile is not being Happy. Nigerians take accountability for what is wrong with Nigeria. Change has not been forthcoming because, the old dog (Nigeria) has refused to learn new tricks for proper governance of the country. This is pure Genocide let us speak up If Nigerian Government will not. We are fighting ourselves to extinction!!!!!!!!! Leave your comments http://wp.me/p1EGfI-3m
......just like we have been waiting for the grammar "bombs" of his dear wife to "fizzle out" abi??? He should've remained silent if he had nothing to say!!
yeah...lets live with it until it hits close to his home. i guess when air force 1 is flying you up and down the place, then we have to wait till things fizzle out
U idiots supporting GEJ nd saying there's nothing he can do I pray d nxt bombing wud kill all ur family members nd u wud remain alive to witness d tragedy agony nd pain d way dose affected r doin so nw.... Dint u c d pics of those innocent souls imagine a 13yr old lost her entire family where does she want to start from not like the government has any provision for her.

What is going in nig how can u wake up and say u r going to kill someone and for d president to say u have to live with it tells me he is out of his mind
Kunle I am at a complete loss of words at your complete blasé attitude towards innocent lives that have been lost and a leaders equally nonchalant attitude and seeming incompetence in the face of such a grave situation. How in the world can you even sit there and say we should leave him alone?! There is something called accountability and As long as he is the commander in chief he has to be accountable to us! People are dying!! Book Haram is getting bolder and a leader is telling us it is a burden we MUST live with and you think that is even in the region of normalcy? This is what has been slowly killing us and will be the ultimate death of us - people like you who will excuse those who should be accountable, accepting constant and continuous mediocrity. we moan too much? Maybe you aren't moaning enough.
like someone said look at George Bush's response(even though he was as thick as 2 planks) he still summoned enough courage when the country was crying out for vengeance!! GEJ knows the sponsors but is too scared to tackle them head on...he needs to come out confidently and let them know sponsoring and harbouring bombers is a treasonable act and u know what comes with treason!!..
@Kunle That's what you need tell your boss..yes we know its dem Hausa but he's the Commander of the Armed Forces and needs to crush the cockroaches this is the type of forceful language he needs to use instead of acting like bambi in the headlights!!..
He is in way over his head!! he wants to use brown envelope to cover up his ineptness...in what planet does a president say bombing is a burden ppl must live with???...this man is crass, out of touch, lazy and frankly disgraceful..it is at times like this that military regimes even look appealing...bcos mad men know their mates and if we had a military man in power all these bombings will cease!!!
I beg ur pardon but some Nigerians are so stupid it is amazing!did an idiot say what do u want jonathan 2 do???are u an idiot or are u just dumb?he is supposed 2 do his damn job dats what!food bills and furniture bills for president and vice presidents are passin everywhere what da hell abt security?what d hell abt my right 2 go 2 church and come back alive???pls if u have nothing beta 2 say shut da hell up and allow intellectuals debate!
@ Kunle; it is obvious that u r stupid... If u cannot comprehend that GEJ is incompetent and insensitive to make such a statement after the bombing of innocent NIgerians that he took an oath to protect. If your family was involved I bet you will have a different view.
You are ignorant and daft...if GEJ cannot protect NIgerians, he should step aside and let someone who genuinely care about the welfare of NIgerians take his place irrespective of where they come from.
If the President knows or suspect certain 'people' shouldn't they be investigated and if confirmed that these 'people' are involved, bring them to face justice? If these so called former leaders are trying to saboutage his efforts why not bring them to book?
People please shine your eyes... Kunle we need you to be a bit sensitive to the families of those who lost their lives in the bombing, same goes for GEJ as well.
This left me speechless for a few minutes. When al-qaeda made terrorist attacks on the US, the president then, George Bush,declared war, meanwhile our president says we shuld wait for it to "fizzle out"? OMG! Smh...Nigeria has never had it this bad, not even in the time of Abacha and co. Never thought the day would come when I would long for the days of military rule to be resurrected and when I would think of OBJ with wistful fondness..
Dumbass mudafucka! We'll wait for d boko haram pple to get tired of bombing us abi?
ReplyDeleteMr President, you are not worth the shit in my bumbum
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of this man,he should step down or surrender himself to Boko Haram so they can stop killing innocent citizens....Goodluck has brought too many badluck to our dear country,instead of him to address d issue of security,d fool is busy with how he will remove Fuel subsidy nd increase the suffering of massess that voted for him......God will judge u oooo GEJ!
ReplyDeleteDid he really say that? I think this statement is a gross insult to families affected.
ReplyDeleteIf Badluck Jonathan really said that it's time for him to step down.
ReplyDeleteseriously???? is that what GEJ is saying or some one just put that (a burden we must live with)as a headline?. Don't blame him 'cos he hasn't lost a loved one. I wish the military will take over so that the entire senators etc will be scrapped. This bomb blast can't take place under OBJ watch.
ReplyDeleteGod! the only way this man will feel what is happening really is for him to experience it 1st hand. God make it happen. Am not apologetic about this.
ReplyDeleteWe the smart Nigerian's knew the guy was no good. I guess bomb blast is a burden those who voted him must live with, not me. I never supported the guy one bit.
ReplyDeleteFizzle out? i no see well walahi #really speechless.

ReplyDeleteUntil we all see the bombing beyond religious grounds and accept that those killed are fellow nigerians we cannot collectively address the issue.the presidency has failed nigerians on their sworn constituitional oat to protect the lives and propeties of every Nigerian.
ReplyDeleteThe Boko Haram menace and other security threats in the country must be effectively addressed by all means. Shedding the blood of innocent persons is an abomination before God and clearly condemned by our faiths. It is also a crime against the laws of the nation. Those found culpable should be charged under the criminal/penal code with murder. You all should focus and condemn the criminals, Boko Haram. Our president is doing his best. He didn't kill anyone. For the sake of unity in the country that's why he's not released the list of highly placed Nigerians who are using Boko Haram to campaign for their personal and regional objectives. Y'all should blame Sultan of Sokoto and his fellow Fulani / Hausa people. Only them can tell Boko Haram to stop their lunatic behaviour, but they won't cos Boko Haram is their creation and mask.

my prayer for the new year is that dis idiotic resident of aso rock should have his whole family bombed to hell.Lets see if he will make such stupid pronouncements then.Useless man!! Better post this Linda!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of you saying its not the fault of the president look at this " He also said that more influential Nigerians allegedly sponsoring the Boko Haram sect might be exposed, arrested and made to face trial.
ReplyDelete“If you hear the names of these sponsors, you will be shocked. It is so bad that some Nigerians do not mean well for this country"" He has all their names yet he couldn't do shit about it, what sort of president is he ? So so weak, he needs to do something people will see and not overhauling same people in the system. For the record GEJ is not doing it right .
...and what makes u think it would fizzle out? dumbo
ReplyDeleteGEJ is a FAILURE. He does not have what it takes to be a leader and his lack of leadership is the PRIMARY reason there is growing insecurity in Nigeria including boko haram attacks. GEJ is the same person that went to meet with some boko haramists to beg them to stop the attacks. He should be IMPEACHED for this and for being incompetent.
ReplyDeleteSince GEJ is clueless as to how to proceed, let me give him a few tips on how to make Nigeria more secure:
ReplyDelete1. Stop stealing public funds b/c one it is wrong, two, it prevents you from having the money to meet the peoples' needs, and three, its not your effing money.
2. Alleviate poverty and suffering in Nigeria. It is not normal anymore for human beings in a supposedly modern country called Nigeria to live with inconsistent electricity,non-existent running water, barely there road networks, non-working hospitals, and a failed justice system. These things contribute to an environment for boko haram and their ilk to thrive. When people have nothing and are given nothing by their government, they are not invested in the community and therefore, have zero qualms about bombing others.
3. Have an immediate response to boko haram such as air strikes on the villages of the boko haramists and public executions if need be. If they want to go to war, then so be it. Give them hell.
2. Engage the assistance of UK and USA if need be for short term and long term responses to the problem. Both countries have an interest in addressing terrorist threats.
3. Seal the northern border with Chad by erecting a high electronic fence similar to the ones the US is erecting between itself and Mexico. That northern border is porous and unsecured.
4. Implement a mandatory national identification system that is picture and fingerprint based so that we know who is who in Nigeria. Pattern it after passport type identification so that it is electronic as well.
I can go on and on, but ultimately GEJ needs to shine his eyes otherwise, we will get to a place where Nigerians will engage in self help and one of two things will happen: civil/ethnic war or the military will take over.
The guy is a SNAIL!
ReplyDeleteU people shud liv GEJ alone and blame the foolish nothern leaders dat can't control their stupid animals called alumajiri, wat ve dey done since all dis days to tame the blood sucking animals called boka haram

ReplyDelete@Yusuf Ali..hope u right...got nuff..widows..orphans..cannot continue like this!!..
ReplyDeleteThe North cannot benefit from this they have fought tooth and nail to keep Nja together..so its got to be a few individuals that missed out when GEJ won!!..amd hell bent on making it to be a Christian vs Muslim war...like Indian we shouldn't go into a full scale war we need to terminate them like the cockroaches they are..
I have more intelligence in my little finger compared to this IDIOT called Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteWikileaks report has it that the US does NOT have any confidence in GEJ and that Nigeria will disentigrate within the next 10yrs!!
Maybe this is the begining of the end of what is called Nigeria....
You lot - Nigerians are hard to please and very very ungovernable. If Obama was from South South or South East Nigeria, there's not much he can do cos he'd be outnumbered by fools and ignoramus who chat shit not based on facts or evidence. Naija people fuckin moan too much. Regardless of what you lot are saying with your stinking mouths, GEJ must not step down. I'm not his supporter and neither do I support PDP or their policies. I am Yoruba. I don't know GEJ. I am not from his part of the country. He's being bullied by northern leaders and ex-governor. I am agsinst that. Open your minds to the truth of what GEJ is facing at the hands of Hausa people. They are retaliating because he defied them by standing for the 2011 election. I'm feed up of you lot erroneously believing that only northern Muslims or northern christians can or have God given right to occupy leadership positions. Hell no. Y'all are doing exactly what Boko Haram wants - to wrongly accuse GEJ of ineptitude and incompetence and hounded out and a northerner takes over. Hell no. GEJ must stand his ground. It's his legal right to serve his term of office to the best of his abilities and in peace. You lot must open your brains and myopic existence to the truth of what those divisive and rotten northern leaders are deliberately doing to sabotage GEJ's administration and distablise the country. If we allow them, they will keep doing it. Its wrong and unlawful. I hate fools. Y'all are acting like the biggest fools of the past 100 years and the next 100 years :(
ReplyDeleteHaters and critiques of President Goodluck Jonathan are closet supporters of Boko Haram, Sharia Law, Islamic Banking, Hausa / Fulani Domination, Oppressive Millitary Dictatorship.

ReplyDeleteErmmmmmm @Anon 2:04PM; Tinubu also helped to massively rig elections in d south-west so should boko haram also come n bomb us here?Abeg softly softly O!
ReplyDeleteGEJ abi wetin dem dey call u,you are a massive failure to we Nigerians!We should live with the fear of boko haram while u fortify urself and ur incompetent ilk with #5 billion security gadgets abi?May d God of Elijah visit upon u,ur cohorts and all ur generations his wrath!Egbesu cannot save u from it!
I dont think i have words to match the feelings of people affected.
ReplyDeleteThis just shows you how disconnected he is from the country, i cant believe he has till 2015. (Cos i no impeachment is almost impossible)
Are we sure GEJ is not one of the sponsors of moko maram
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Nigerian government celebrates no improvement whatsoever. Last I checked, celebrations had something to positive progress. It's 51 years and we have nothing to boast of if not cassava bread and murderous atrocities and a cliche that Nigerians are Happy people. Let us not forget that the saddest people have the most beautiful smile to cover their sorrow. So having a smile is not being Happy. Nigerians take accountability for what is wrong with Nigeria. Change has not been forthcoming because, the old dog (Nigeria) has refused to learn new tricks for proper governance of the country. This is pure Genocide let us speak up If Nigerian Government will not. We are fighting ourselves to extinction!!!!!!!!! Leave your comments http://wp.me/p1EGfI-3m
ReplyDeletePlease read an interesting response to Mr Presidents foolish remark!

ReplyDeleteWhat is going in nig how can u wake up and say u r going to kill someone and for d president to say u have to live with it tells me he is out of his mind
ReplyDeleteKunle I am at a complete loss of words at your complete blasé attitude towards innocent lives that have been lost and a leaders equally nonchalant attitude and seeming incompetence in the face of such a grave situation. How in the world can you even sit there and say we should leave him alone?! There is something called accountability and As long as he is the commander in chief he has to be accountable to us! People are dying!! Book Haram is getting bolder and a leader is telling us it is a burden we MUST live with and you think that is even in the region of normalcy? This is what has been slowly killing us and will be the ultimate death of us - people like you who will excuse those who should be accountable, accepting constant and continuous mediocrity. we moan too much? Maybe you aren't moaning enough.
ReplyDeletelike someone said look at George Bush's response(even though he was as thick as 2 planks) he still summoned enough courage when the country was crying out for vengeance!!
ReplyDeleteGEJ knows the sponsors but is too scared to tackle them head on...he needs to come out confidently and let them know sponsoring and harbouring bombers is a treasonable act and u know what comes with treason!!..
@Kunle
That's what you need tell your boss..yes we know its dem Hausa but he's the Commander of the Armed Forces and needs to crush the cockroaches this is the type of forceful language he needs to use instead of acting like bambi in the headlights!!..
He is in way over his head!! he wants to use brown envelope to cover up his ineptness...in what planet does a president say bombing is a burden ppl must live with???...this man is crass, out of touch, lazy and frankly disgraceful..it is at times like this that military regimes even look appealing...bcos mad men know their mates and if we had a military man in power all these bombings will cease!!!
ReplyDeletefresh air,indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI beg ur pardon but some Nigerians are so stupid it is amazing!did an idiot say what do u want jonathan 2 do???are u an idiot or are u just dumb?he is supposed 2 do his damn job dats what!food bills and furniture bills for president and vice presidents are passin everywhere what da hell abt security?what d hell abt my right 2 go 2 church and come back alive???pls if u have nothing beta 2 say shut da hell up and allow intellectuals debate!
ReplyDelete@ Kunle; it is obvious that u r stupid... If u cannot comprehend that GEJ is incompetent and insensitive to make such a statement after the bombing of innocent NIgerians that he took an oath to protect. If your family was involved I bet you will have a different view.
ReplyDeleteYou are ignorant and daft...if GEJ cannot protect NIgerians, he should step aside and let someone who genuinely care about the welfare of NIgerians take his place irrespective of where they come from.
If the President knows or suspect certain 'people' shouldn't they be investigated and if confirmed that these 'people' are involved, bring them to face justice? If these so called former leaders are trying to saboutage his efforts why not bring them to book?
People please shine your eyes... Kunle we need you to be a bit sensitive to the families of those who lost their lives in the bombing, same goes for GEJ as well.
This left me speechless for a few minutes. When al-qaeda made terrorist attacks on the US, the president then, George Bush,declared war, meanwhile our president says we shuld wait for it to "fizzle out"? OMG! Smh...Nigeria has never had it this bad, not even in the time of Abacha and co. Never thought the day would come when I would long for the days of military rule to be resurrected and when I would think of OBJ with wistful fondness..
ReplyDeleteYeah right!............we should all die first! Oh no who would help us? Jack Bauwer where are u?
