Yay.

Damn, that means somebody else is about to get fired soon.

DaRapture: Damn, that means somebody else is about to get fired soon.

he will gradually shut his haters and critics mouth. All I know is that the wheel of transformation is rolling and the wind of change is blowing.

Jonathan is unsettled! Something is in the air and he doesn't want to be caught in it!!

The President of a nation besieged by terrorists should not spend this much time and with such frequency outside his own domain, particularly on ission that parts of his own nation are inaccessible to him.

People will talk.

I wonder how many people he will fire when he gets back.

Nigerians must talk obata. It is an official visit don't other president travel on official visits?.

Infact there are so many paid haters of GEJ here that always criticise whateva he does. Soon una mouth go shut. Government Can't Stop Because Of Boko Haram.

Do you know if this trip will bring alot of benefits to Nigeria?!

While he handles domestic issues, do not forget that he still needs to tackle international issues as well.. Boko Haram cannot and I repeat cannot hold the nation hostage.. If he focuses on Boko Haram alone, 4 years would come and go and he would have achieved nothing.. He needs to still put up a front on the international scene and make sure Nigeria isnt left behind..

Alwayz goin on visit.....just returnd 4rm brazil...nw 2 belgium....guex he wil head 2 solomon island or fiji....or even yorkcity in Aba town...waka waka :-XAlwayz goin on visit.....just returnd 4rm brazil...nw 2 belgium....guex he wil head 2 solomon island or fiji....or even yorkcity in Aba town...waka waka

Thanks for educating the guy. If GEJ focuses on BH alone at the end of his tenure they will cry wolf that he did nothing. Paid Haters

Hip hip hooray!

Oh, Okija. . . what benefits? Please teach me the benefits of investing in a nation whose President itted he isters tly with terrorists sitting in his government. What committed partnership can we expect from outside?

why can't Nigerians use their brains for something useful. The president told you dis b4, cos some people are throwing bombs here and there doesn't mean Nigeria should stop and focus on them.if he should focus on dem, what's the reason for having defense minister, army generals, police IG ,etc. Or do you think he is going to Belgium for his own good?(holiday). What's all dis rubbish. Bomb blast =Jonathan. plane crash =Jonathan. A mad man die under a tree its = Jonathan. No service in your phone = Jonathan. You your self what have you done to your community.

GEJ don give una new line - "Boko Haram should not stop governance". Carry on.

seems the retardeen derives pleasure travelling around the world with our tax payer money while th country boils. What benefit whether directly or indirectly will his travelling has on the security challenge and other cluster of problems we are going through? What a pity we got a clueless presido.

@ john.u talk as a fool.do u av brain at all.

more to be sacked when he returns.

Inasmuch as I don't like GEJs performance, that doesn't mean the whole nation should be at a halt because of Bokoharam.

"The day the world leaders know i can not travel out becos of boko haram, we re finished" Response on why he travelled to Brazil when the Kaduna state was boiling.

i know you must be another ab-dull, too bad for you dear. @ your level of exposure you could be thinking like a septuagenarian of 5th century. I pity you a lot

So he should not travel again abi?
If he returns tomorrow more heads will roll
Trust me

Hahahhaahahahaa...peeps.trust me before 2015 gej go travel round the world.each travel 10 sacks..thumbs up joor.am behind ur ventures jare

ecolime: Inasmuch as I don't like GEJs performance, that doesn't mean the whole nation should be at a halt because of Bokoharam.

True, but what he does he do when he is not travelling?

1. introduced a flash lift on oil subsidy
2. privatized US naval command and gave maritime patrol to ex-criminal
3. renamed UNILAG
4. Replaced an incompetent police chief with one on boko haram payroll

. . . when he doesnt travel he causes trouble up and down on domestic policies.

madam president: haters club!haters club! haters clubDo boko haram tink dy can stop d president in doing wat he ought to do including traveln on oficial isues?D answer is no!if they like,let dem kil everybody in d north,d president wl stil travel and travel and travel. d cant and they wnt stop him.

i know you are yet to be a victim of boko haram. I dont pray you are anyway but learn to talk like a concerned nigerian and stop displaying your level mediocrity.

Bakreez: i know you must be another ab-dull, too bad for you dear. @ your level of exposure you could be thinking like a septuagenarian of 5th century. I pity you a lot

. . . better to be an ab-dull than to be named goodluck and be followed everywhere you go with misfortune. lmao!!
