Since 2011, I have told Nigerians that every minute spent by GEJ in Aso Rock is time wasted for Nigeria. By the time he finishes with this country, he would have taken the country back by 120 years. Mark my words!! if we do not remove Jonathan through the legitimate ballot box in Feb 2015, Nigerians should wait for many more years of hardship and uncertainty.

He wudnt dare reveal his identity. That pic may not be him bcos he knows wat will befall him if caught

I blame GEJ as GCFR of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Boko Haram shouldn't even exist rather they keep spending billions and zillions of Naira on Food, elections, wedding events, burial, traveling from here to there while our soldiers and innocent lives are slaughtered. Not happy about the situation of things.

After getting over my initial shock that a soldier has a twitter account; I have always seen them as brutes, wetin concern agbero with overload!, I kinda agree with him! Like I said, if nobody speaks up we will just remain oblivious of the happenings around us! Seriously GEJ is looking like he is gonna lose this election!

That it is mutiny doesn't mean he can't vent out his anger, u think its a movie or what, that's real life dummy, u they talk shit bcos u are not the one in the war front

This is APC tricks to insult GEJ! I pity you! The Naira is N198 to the dollar, let burahi enter! We no go get oil sell! As burhai enters, we would also make nigeria ungovernable for him! Northern fools

Anonymous said...

we just like talking, do u really think a soldier will do this...it is true they are suffering but if GEJ approves the release of weapons for their use, is it not possible that some forces underneath limits the access of this weapons in order to fuel this insurgency and give false reports that the weapons have been deployed just like when money is been released for projects and welfare of civil servants, some people sit on this monies. is the president going to approve release of weapons and at the same time take it to the soldiers. what happens in between is what we should be bothered about. that will probably give answers to most of the unanswered questions. that is how intelligence works not by talking. ask questions and make findings.

thank you

And how do you propose they do that? Knock on his bedroom door? GEJ is not fit for purpose. Nigeria at the moment is so far behind where it should be. Our country has been running backwards since Obj left office but because we measure our status by phones and cars we remain clueless.
No one can name a single aspect of advancement by this government. If GEJ remains in power Nigeria will collapse into the status of God forsaken African nations like Congo.

This is not a soldier APC playing politics. Funds have since been approved to buy weapons for the Nigerian Army.


it is painful to see south-south and Christians selling themselves for power.

lets ask ourselves these questions?
why are boko haram killing
ANS:
Jonathan is an infidel (i.e being a christian makes him an infidel)

they want Sharia and do not want western Education.

The main reason for boko haram is to frustrate Jonathan's reign as president.

Buhari comes into power their Aim has been achieved and boko haram will stop the killing.

if Jonathan had arrested Buhari when made those statements of blood and monkeys.....we would have been at war by now. because his radical loyalist would have come out hard. if this buhari really loves Nigeria why cant he work hand in hand with our president to ensure peace reigns in the north.

Mandela preached peace even when he was not the president. lets take a stand for Nigeria i am not saying Jonathan is awesome am only saying General Buahri is not and will not be the right man for our dear country Nigeria. Jonathan was willing to grant amnesty to terrorist it has never happened in world history and yet they didn't take it. he built almanjiri schools for this same northerners how many Northerner leaders in time past built christian schools.

he has since been trying to create a bridge between Christians and Muslims he made them feel like power never left the north.

Just like average 9ja, most of you here are too dumb to comment. GEJ is damned regardless for sure.

He exposed himself as an apc member immediately he made reference to Jonathan. Gej is not the chief of army staff, PLUS no sane soldier will wear uniform and go on twitter to write such crap. Apc desperate since 1884. I wonder the kind of politics pple play in this country.

Anonymous said...

The condition in which these soldiers have found themselves can least be described as horrible and apalling, and people in their comfort zone are calling their complains fake or unprofessional. There are limits which humans can bear, soldier or non-soldier. God forbid that this issue split the Nigerian army into factions, then Nigerians will know that mutiny is a childs play compared to what will ensue. There are examples of spliting and fighting between factions of a National army around the world. A stitch in time saves nine, they say.

@all GEJ sucks and is obviously weak to handle Nigeria but the fact is that buhari is not a good alternative, i wish APC projected Governor Fashola as president and Amaechi as VP then power would av changed hands cos the masses will vote GEJ out. but in a case when they brought buhari who wil cause more harm than good cos if he wins instead of focusing on nigeria problems he will focus on revenge to deal and hint for babangida and his boys who plotted coup to cease power from him. ITS ALL ABOUT REVENGE FOR HIM NOT THE PEOPLES PAINS . ALTERNATIVELY GEJ SHOULD RESIGN IF HE CANT FIX NIGERIA ITS CLEAR
