GEJ Pays $1.2 million to Washington Post to launder his image.  -- My feelings  --

If there is any set that needs convincing today about the seriousness of GEJ to combat the numerous plagues in Nigeria today, its Nigerians and no one else.  Why does he have to take his campaign to America through the Washington Post? How many Nigerians have ever seen the Washington Post Newspaper? Has he any respect for our feelings? Is he ever worried that his actions are the main reason why Nigerians don't trust him. To win election in Nigeria you need Nigerian voters, why waste humongous sums of $1.2 million to launder you imagine abroad? You would have used that money to settle part of what the Polytechnic Lecturers are demanding that has forced the students of Polytechnics to be sitting at home for almost a year now.

Alternatively, GEJ I am sure you know that the Benue chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers have been on strike for the past 10 months.  Some of their members have been reported dead as a result.  If you have used $1.2 million to settle that issue, you would have been a darling of that state even after the 2015 elections.

If you have fixed electricity in Kano, I give you my words, I will lead my family and even go out of my way to convince my friends to vote for you in 2015.  You would have used that money to ensure that ordinary people have access to life essentials.

GEJ sir, your advisers and you, in most cases, are given to banding this word - "opposition" around to the extent that I think it's clouding your judgement of Nigerians genuine assessment of your performance.  The ordinary Nigeria does not understand the word opposition.  What we know is the gap between what we need and the opportunities that exists for us to reach such things.  The fewer the opportunities, the harsher our assessment of whoever is at the helm of affairs.  If you think such assessments is from the opposition, so be it.

If you need anyone to be convinced on who you are or how noble your intentions are for Nigeria, GEJ sir, please talk to us.  We have the capacity to assess you fairly where tangible indices exists on ground.
