  1. Mr. President! You have to choose between the masses that voted you into power if truly you believe it was their votes that brought you into power. Doing opposite will confirm allegation of election rigging. Do not forget a new election is come tomorrow.
    For you to justify receiving their votes, you must discard those advisers that are giving you wrong ideas.
    Stand your foot and fight corruption and never start your war with oil subsidy. Those collecting the subsidy are known to be corrupt and enemies of progress.
    Mr. President, i am one of those that welcome your action when you removed former Justice Minister immediately you assumed power.
    Sorry, Mr. President, there is no permanent enemy or friend. Until the will and interest of majority of Nigerians are protected, i will join those fighting for the poor.
    Do not forget Mr. President that you narrated your humble background like most of us.
    I saw you last time kneeling down praying to God. Do not inflict pain on Nigerians.

  2. It is very unfortunate that you are among those short-foresighted people who voted for GEJ. We knew he would not be able to deliver good policies. He is too slow and inexperience. All the same, he is not different from those poor people who always abandon their supporters at the slightest taste of fortune.
    Remember, he had no shoes. so, he wants to render us 'shoeless'. It is all our fault. It is however not too early to remove him. He can not deliver us to the promise land.

  3. Jonathan, I have envisaged from day one. is going to be a toothless stooge of the evil hands that have been squizing Nigerian economy dry to their personal enrichments, so I am not surprised at his actions now. If he will still continue in power Nigerians should expect worst situations. At least we have mortgaged Nigeria in Jonathan's 4 years of leadership. Nigerians! always look before lipping. Buhari can never fall to this evil advices, I can bet my life to this. We have lost out again, Haba! Nigerians

  4. I was right when I decided that I was never going to vote in Nigeria again. Now I am vindicated. Imagine someone who doesn't know what suffering is all about, how do you expect such individual to understand what the poor masses are going through. Until we break the cabal that has cornered the riches and wealth of Nigeria, Nigerians will continue to suffer. we are meat owners, yet they feed us bones, we have exotic garments, yet we walk around in rags. Nigerians, when will the deliverer come?
