Given sheer common sense...

...then all right-thinking members of society should read between the lines and allow common sense to prevail.

Hmmnnn...I don't know about the wording of this statement o. It seems to be insulting the audience. A simple clarification would have sufficed IMHO.

Words on the Marble..

It is trite knowledge that there is a critical difference between Yenagoa and Abuja, and a world of difference between being the wife of a Deputy Governor/Governor/Vice president and being the wife of Nigeria’s No 1 citizen. When people suddenly find themselves in such latter position, prepared or unprepared, anywhere in the world, they are taken through a crash programme in finishing and poise and made to realize that being the wife of an important man comes with serious responsibilities lest they sabotage the same person that they should be supporting.

If Dame Patience went through such re-orientation, the course was incomplete.

Seriously though, I am honestly worried about the state of mind of this President, he seems to have completely lost the plot. He is faced with the serious challenge that BH poses but chooses to introduce hyper-inflation into an already unstable economy by more than doubling the price of fuel overnight as though we inhabit some banana republic?

It is most unfortunate that some Nigerians, for dubious reasons, would go to any length to misinform the public, and seek to embarrass the President. Mr. President remains undeterred as he pursues his administration's transformation agenda. He respects the right of other persons to express an opinion but when such opinions promote falsehood and mischief, then all right-thinking members of society should read between the lines and allow common sense to prevail. The anti-Jonathan propagandists are desperate and are determined to confuse the public. Whatever makes them unhappy, they must realise that Nigeria is more important, and that the national interest must be considered superior to their own greedy and selfish machinations.

It may well be true that nobody can transform Nigeria without a fight from an established, clandestine order, and the Mafia, running that discreditable Order, has tentacles and roots like the Octopus. Also, no one should be deluded into thinking that there are no agents of that Mafia in civil society and parliament, with aggressive campaigners who will carry the banner of dirt, at any cost. But here is the good news: Mr Jonathan is preaching a gospel of change and progress, and he is committed to the national interest. He deserves the support of all and sundry, not malicious misinformation.

President Jonathan Is Not In South Africa

He is on Mars and loaded with Ogogoro.


Aluta!

How come u never comment on the boko haram bombs.
People were massacred at an electronics market in Kaduna,you missed it
bombs at various beer parlors you went missing
UN building,police headquarters,we neither saw your front nor your back
Christmas day 2011 we were all here mourning just like we did Christmas 2010 and you were no where to be found
20 Igbo men were killed at a meeting in Mubi,you went AWOL
A deeper life Church was bombed somewhere else,you conveniently missed that thread
but as soon as we start bashing Jonathan you appear in all your glory
gwobe na wa for you o
comot abeg!

From this statement , have it occurred to anyone that perhaps:

a. Jonathan is acting a plot which is different from what we all realize. The idea is to actively destroy the bonds that bind the country and make sure the country breaks up under him inexcusably under the tensions of his onslaught on the poorest which tend to trigger violence that eventually become ethnic. One can already see by his pronouncements on Boko Harem in his government yesterday, and the Ijaw National Congress claiming he will be assassinated that the first blood towards dissolution is being drawn by the Presidency itself (quite unusual in our history). Of course Rep Dickson (the selected governor of Bayelsa) support for subsidy removal is very telling. What is their goal?

b. The President and his advisors (mostly from his Bayelsa clique) seem to have taken the position that since he doesn't have the courage to convene a national conference vis a vis Ijaw autonomy (which most of them stood for in their activist days) because he emerged on the dime of those who oppose it, a rather back door break up is preferable. And the unexplained MEND bombing on October 2010 followed up by series of so called \"Boko Harem\" bombings that seem to target the darkest instincts of Nigerians for religious and ethnic pogroms, with no effective response or an attempt to do so from the President aside from a lame State of Emergency and trite talk of us living with terror.

Note that this is just pure speculation. But the seemingly puzzling actions of the President in not tackling BH effectively and then imposing these sufferings on the common man can only be explained from this prism.

My brother in my village is waiting for the bus to get back to Lagos o,

Similar sentiments were expressed in my post 6 above because other than having a designed headway, how else can one understand a supposedly \"weak and cowardly President\" deciding to confront Boko Haram, Fuel Subsidy and deregulation of PHCN (NEPA) all within the space of less than two weeks of a Supreme Court decision affirming his victory? Any of these issues is enough to occupy a Nigerian government for more than a few years talkless of tackling three fundamentally serious issues concurrently. Apart from the obvious directives of the IMF/World Bank to remove subsidies at the expense of the masses and his stubborn adherence in the face of strong opposition not to back down, he is suddenly turning out to be one of the most daring Presidents ever in our Country's history.

I mean is this GEJ? Who is this new man? His state of mind gives one cause for serious concerns.
