New York Times calls GEJ lousy, says he's trying to frustrate Buhari

In an article titled 'Nigeria's Miserable Choices' Published on New York Times yesterday Monday February 16th, and written by the editorial board of the US newspaper, they described Nigerian president as a 'lousy incumbent' & described Buhari as a 'former autocratic leader'. See article below
The Nigerian government was supposed to hold presidential elections this past weekend, which presented voters with the dispiriting choice of keeping a lousy incumbent or returning to power a former autocratic leader. Now they will have to wait at least six weeks to cast votes.
The Nigerian election commission said earlier this month that it had pushed back the vote until at least March 28, after the country’s security chiefs warned that they could not guarantee the safety of voters in northeastern areas of the country where Boko Haram, the extremist militant group, captured international attention last spring when it abducted hundreds of schoolgirls. On Friday, Boko Haram fighters attacked a village in neighboring Chad for the first time, an alarming sign of the group’s expanding strength in a region that also includes areas of Cameroon and Niger.

Any argument to delay the vote might be more credible if President Goodluck Jonathan’s government had not spent much of the past year playing down the threat posed by the militants and if there were a reasonable expectation that the country’s weak military has the ability to improve security in a matter of weeks.
It appears more likely Mr. Jonathan grew alarmed by the surging appeal of Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler who has vowed to crack down on Boko Haram. By dragging out the race, Mr. Jonathan stands to deplete his rival’s campaign coffers, while he continues to use state funds and institutions to bankroll his own.

That Mr. Buhari, who helped launch a coup against a democratically elected government in 1983 and ruled until late 1985, has emerged as potential winner is more of an indictment of Mr. Jonathan’s dismal rule than a recognition of the former military chief’s appeal.

Nigerian voters have grown increasingly worried about the stunning rise of Boko Haram, which has committed terrorist atrocities including bombings. 

The abductions and attacks by the group have exposed the weaknesses of Nigeria’s armed forces and the dysfunction of the government. Although Mr. Jonathan’s government has in the past been less than enthusiastic, and at times obstructive, in response to offers of American and European aid, he appears to be growing increasingly worried. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, he said he would welcome American troops to fight the insurgency. 

Beyond security matters, entrenched corruption and the government’s inability to diversify its economy as the price of oil, the country’s financial bedrock, has fallen have also caused Nigerians to look for new leadership. Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, and a relatively young democracy, cannot afford an electoral crisis. That would only set back the faltering effort to reassert government control in districts where Boko Haram is sowing terror. The security forces may not be able to safeguard many districts on Election Day. But postponement is very likely to make the security threat worse.

They are instigating all this confusion to make their prediction of Nigeria dividing in 2015. The US government is angry that the Nigerian economic system is growing despite the challenges in the oil market. American government are angry that GEJ is working towards making Nigeria a country that can be self reliant in the nearest future,therefore ending importation of almost everything to the country. Another thing the US is angry with GEJ is his refusal to sign the same sex marriage bill, please US should mind their business and stop looking for a way to destroy Nigeria. The know years from now Nigeria will be a developed country which they don't want, they want Nigeria to remain under-developed so they can continue to exploit us. Dear Nigerians be wise, don't allow any biased foreign media to deceive you into believing the present administration is not working. The US have their evil agenda against Nigeria,be wise Nigerians.

We know PDP and APC are like Cerberus (different heads on the same animal), but we are just tired of being bitten by this one head.
Do you think if George Bush hadn't fucked things up so bad Obama would have won? But after Bush, white America was willing to TRY anything else but another Republican. And that's exactly the situation here.
So I don't know what your station is in Nigeria, but for the rest of us that feel stepped on, lied to (unintelligent lies for that matter), stolen from, upressed, supressed, violated (...I could go on forever), WE WANT A CHANGE!

The truth is bitter, this is just an opinion of one editorial columnist in the US and people are already getting pissed. That is called freedom of speech people, he has the right to air his views. It has nothing to do with gays and lesbians. If you guys are trying to play God, know that in that Abuja alone the people that passed the so called anti gay law practice same shit behind closed doors. Naija has some elements of sodom and gomora in it as well. Leave my US of A alone

Respect is not given by virtue of a/any position... It's given on how one carries out responsibilities that come with that Position.
It's 2015... Did yourself of that Slavery mentality.

GEJ is not the hero in this satire... Neither is Buhari. So peo

GEJ is not the hero in this satire... Neither is Buhari. So not everyone that has something derogatory to say about PDP is pro APC, but given the state of things in Nigeria right now PDP's gotta go.
A failing/failed company fires the CEO, even if he inherited the seat when the company was already failing. And that's because the CEO should know he has a whole lot more work to do to keep the company from falling even further than one that inherits a company in good standing. If he can't stem the negative flow, he's not up to the task.
GEJ is not up to the task.
Have you seen before and after pictures of President Obama? That's what a president should look like when he comes into power when the economy is breaking. Means he's stressed out and not sleeping. THAT is a man who knows what it takes to get the job done... Not one that goes to a party a day after a bomb went off in his backyard.

They haven't disrespected us... We have disrespected ourselves.

The only students that complain about a teacher maliciously failing them are the ones that are already circling a D grade... If you are a strong A student, a teacher who doesn't like you can perhaps knock you to a B, but definitely not an F.

If we weren't already circling disrespect, the world would not disrespect us.

Not a sermon... just a thought.

olu said...

Smh... A lot of good us "minding ours" has done us.

olu said...

Respect is not "deserved", it's earned.

olu said...

And for you (the smart guy), you do know that people are entitled to their opinions right? Especially when there's a hint of truth to it... Just saying...

olu said...

Smh... I hope no one has u as a role model.

olu said...

...sooooo you aren't voting GEJ then (cos obviously he can't stop the killings)... Which also confuses me... Cos according to you, he's the best president since 99... Yet he's yet to meet up to the one thing that matters most to you (and the whole of Nigeria)... The phrase "talking in circles" comes to mind.

olu said...

And what are "our" values on his ineptness at tackling Boko Haram?

olu said...

Jesus is sitting this one out... Homeboi. Where we are, we got there on our own. Doesn't matter what the international community says about us, fact is, most of us are already saying it... What ur doing is trying to plug a wound to keep from bleeding out when there's already internal bleeding... Effort in futility.

Because Ghana has gone cup in hand to borrow money from IMF or you did not know that? Ghana is broke. Rwanda is dependent on a lot of aid from them following the genocide. If they can control your purse they are happy but since Nigeria has very low external debt so not dependent on them to survive plus the anti homosexuality law, they hate the president. But God is God and the U.S. will go down for standing against what God is doing in Nigeria. Mark my words

Anonymous said...

Olu, great analysis. We need to look beyond partisan affiliation. Our bane of existence is way beyond buhari or jonathan's existence in aso rock.

Grace n Truth said...

And what about Timothy mcVeigh? What about the Boston marathon bombers ? Despite all America's sophistication terrorism still reads it's head. Anyway their attempt to impose an Islamist puppet that will do their bidding by running Nigeria aground will never happen.

olu said...

And God's purpose for Nigeria is for us to sleep with one eye opened from fear of BH? Or perhaps to keep a bag packed, in case we are forced to seek refuge in Cameroun?
Enlighten us as to God's plans Moses!

APC paid Obamas consultancy group AKPD to run Nigeria down.

...and yet the queue outside the embassies grow even longer by the day.
Seems to me what God has done to them is a better economy than ours, and a people who sit down to think about ever better ways to do things... And not a people who sit down to plot ever better ways to BUY things that "they" built...
So yeah... I agree... God is really showing them pepper... You clueless clout.

You lost me somewhere around "...is working towards a Country that can be self reliant"... Haba guy, do us the courtesy of imagining we have brains nau. In six years all we've heard is "...is working/...is planning". Details of the plans sef dem no gree show us. How the hell can we be "self reliant" on just Oil? Or are you referring to the unsustainable car assembly plant? If that were going to work, it would be mandated that all government official cars should be from the plants in Nigeria. There is no country in the world that produces automobiles and has it's government cars imported (all the way down to even police cars).
To make any country self reliant, the power sector and transportation sector must be solid... My guy hasn't made any recognizable steps in those directions... So maybe u need to invest in some bifocals (or maybe I need to get rid of mine) cos we don't see this thing the same way.

US has been Battling with Terrorist Over the Years Yet they increase Everyday. They are calling GEJ Lousy because he has not stamped out Book Haram, which means All there Presidents till date are Lousy. Most especially Obama who Terrorism has increased exponentially during his Tenure. Stupid People they want to be dictating everything that happens around the world. Obama should face their Economy and how to Revive his Party which is going down with the American Populace.

olu said...

...and not the fact that our brothers and sisters are dying in the hundreds almost everyday?!
I mean... Why do people think like this?!

Naijarian said...

These oyimbo people sef.. When they start to gang up against you, know say you dey the right track. This was how they ganged up against Congo under Lumumba, Ghana under Nkrumah, Angola under Santos where they even supported the rebel leader Jonas savimbi, ganged up against the ANC and supported apartheid, and lastly ganged up against Gaddaffi... Look at Libya today..

Any one who is in support of this article is a failure to Nigeria, even if Jonathan has failed us, it gives no right to a publication from another country to insult the person and office of president of the federal republic of Nigeria. We dont go writing publications about other leaders even when G. Bush was president and killing people in the far east for selfish aim we never said a word. Nigeria deserves respect

olu said...

Maybe we (Nigeria) do need to crash and burn. Some of the comments I read Nigerians posting are so outrageously ignorant that it breaks the heart.
What makes the USA great is that no matter how divided they are on issues, when there is a common threat "they" set aside differences and tackle the threat head-on. That's what a family does... They may have issues with each other, but they set those aside to fight outside threats TOGETHER.
We (Nigerians) have a common threat that kills indiscriminately... Kills women, children, the old, the young, Christians, and Muslims all alike... And we are so focused on politics that we can't come together against BH. Fact is BH can even just sit back and chill, and watch us tear each other to pieces for them... Make their "holy" work easier.
So yes, maybe we deserve to crash and burn... Cos evolution dictates doing whatever is necessary to ensure survival... And we are too "political" to evolve.

I seriously feel for this country. To what extent must our country decay before it obvious that we are having a failed government. It's amazing that people are still making this a PDP vs APC thing.

Because they do not want international wrath released on them.
Everything NY Post wrote is true, like it or not.
That you don't believe a car kills does not mean it won't kill you when you stand in front of it.
Nigeria's are so busy worrying about an already rotten reputation instead of working on fixing the reputation.
No one corrects a situation by sweeping it under the rug.
We did not elect GEJ to be respected, he was elected to lead a country and earn respect subsequently, but he has failed woefully so no respect earned.
There's no respect to be given when the truth needs to be spoken. If Nigerians called their leader out on their BS as much, we would've been in a lot better situation than we are in now. People do better when they know their work will be checked and criticized. We are too busy respecting those that haven't earned any respect instead of calling a spade, a spade.
Because ur papa be tif no mean say u sef no fit talk true!

Do you actually believe Tinubu and co can afford to bribe The Times? That in it self says a lot about you so nothing left to be said!
Google is your friend so my advice, Google The Times net worth, the powers that be, before you say anything else. I don't blame you though, since Nigerian media house is your yard stick.
FYI: Everyone that disagrees with GEJ is not in APC's or Buhari's pocket, leave sentiment out of this for once and look at situation as is.

The American are playing a dangerous role in this election. Nigerians must not allow them to decide who wins the next election. Nigerians must be allowed to decide who governs them and not any foreign machinery coming in to dictate our choice.

With or without the support of the American people, President Jonathan will be reelected by a landslide.

THE IGNORANCE OF NIGERIANS IN THESE FORUM IS RIDICULOUS. I ADVICE YOU ALL TO LOOK AT THE SENATORIAL NOMINEE LIST OF THE INCUMBENT PRESIDENT AND DECIDE IF THIS IS THE KIND OF CONTINUITY YOU WANT.
THE NY TIMES HAS AN ACCURATE ANALYSIS OF THE PRESIDENT. HE IS TRIPLE LOUSY!!!

Anonymous said...

Linda if you post anything bad about GEJ again, you'll have to pay back all the money lol

Anonymous said...

The reason the foreign media are trying to demean Nigeria's presidency is simply due to the fact that David Axelrod (Obama Guy) is leading the election of General Buhari. That is why the Americans are seeing General Buhari becoming president so that he can be controlled.

Anonymous said...

New York Times or no New York Times, the president will win a second term in power. NYT can't dictate who we will votes for the in the coming election.

Anonymous said...

Mr Olu, I will be less alarmed if you say you are voting for Buhari because you admire him. But to vote because you are fed up is behavior filled with regrets. Never jump into anything blindly and out of anger. Choose wisely. If you want buhari, vote for him because of what you admire. If not, I think you should stay home because Jonathan will not be punished by voting him out of office. the masses will continue to suffer if you vote in a Pharoah because you are angry. Please stay home if you are not convinced about who to vote for based on what is admirable

Olu pls can u take a seat n keep quiet? Dez guys have absolutely no right to talk abt my president like DAT weda he has done well or not. I don't get it, its not deir business at all. I wonder what u will be able to offer ur followers if u ever find urself in a leadership position seeing DAT u make such utterances. Have u ever for one day opened or mouth to pray for your president in dis your life?be talking like its easy to rule a nation let alone Nigeria

N u think GEJ is sleeping? Whatever u think PDP or GEJ is not doing right, APC or Buhari will give u a double dose of it. U had better open your eyes n let all doz scales begin to fall off right now.
