President Goodluck Jonathan attacked on facebook over fuel subsidy


President Goodluck Jonathan has come under serious attack with many Nigerians taking to the president's Facebook page to vent their anger against the removal of fuel subsidy by the government.


Daily Trust's checks on the president's page showed that his New Year message, which was posted on the site, has attracted more 7000 comments, mostly criticising the government for ending the fuel subsidy regime. Some even went as far as calling the president in unprintable names.


In his post, Matthew Arikanki said "When Nigerians voted for President Goodluck Jonathan, they thought now they have their man at the seat of government, that he will take decisions that will alleviate the suffering of the masses. But we were wrong."


Justice Emeka Obi said "Mr President is taking us to the biblical Golgotha- a place of misery, destitution and death. We must stop him now before we get there."


Adebayo Ibikunle Farounbi said "Mr President Sir, laudable as your achievements in 2011 seems, your 1st step in 2012 has rubbished them."


Shaman Felix Egi-Jesu said "Mr President, God pass you. I have been stuck in traffic at Lokoja for the past one hour. We truly love your fresh air"


Adeolu Paul said "Can somebody tell me: is Jonathan a disgrace to the entire academic world or to his alma mata?"


Amaechi Anakpe said "Why not experiment with say 25% subsidy removal and show Nigerians the benefit thereof before a dive into abyss. I only pray the complexes that abound now do not consume our entity and cohesion."


Some of the president's however pleaded with Nigerians to give him the benefit of the doubt.


Chris Okechukwu Dike said, "Nigerians should please give Goodluck a chance and let history be the judge. He is anxious to serve the nation well. Example is power, regular fuel, aviation and works. God bless us."


Mike Omeri said "If Okonjo-Iweala, Allison-Madueke and Aganga are World Bank/IMF agents and that is why they pushed for subsidy removal, I know for a fact that Lamido Sanusi is not and he was pushing for subsidy removal even before Iweala came on board. Oshiomhole, labour leader per excellence, (I'm not necessarily saying he's a good governor) supports the subsidy removal and has said as much to his labour union colleagues. If Sanusi and Oshiomhole support the subsidy removal, there must be some sense in it. Let's rally round the government to ensure the policy works for all of us."

  1. Thank you Jonathan for shocking your gullible, stupid and senseless fans/supporters for ever believing in you. I was also one of them but that was before you decided to contest for the presidency, which exposed you to me as an ingrate to God. What about the bastards we call governors, the ministers and the lawmakers at all levels? They are all the same-drainpipes on our country. They and their cromies will never sing along with the rest of us and you all know why. Why can't we take our destinies in our own hands, at least, for once and chase them out of power. Lets stop this gullibility and useless resilience which our leaders always take advantage of, by standing up against them. THEY ARE ALL EVILS AND THEIR TRIUMPH OVER GOOD HAS ENDED WITH THIS CALOUS, MINDLESS, DESTRUCTIVE AND SATANIC FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL BY JONATHAN. The Arab Spring solution is it and the time is now. Nigerians stop dying many times before your death.

  2. Mr. President sir.
    The issues before you are truly simple that is if really you are doing what you are doing in the best interest of Nigerians.
    Why are your ministers desire in putting the chart before the horse when the reverse is the case in my own opinion i think they been unjust and unfair to you and the people you profess to serve.
    If you desire a better way to this situation you can email me and your good heart in removing the subsidy can be appreciated in short time.
    Yours
    Ola Olaoye.

  3. NIGERIANS AWAKE,
    WE DON'T HAVE LEADERS IN NIGERIA. THEY ARE BUNCH OF WICKED, BESTIAL, DEMONIC AND SELF-SEEKING OPPORTUNISTS.
    EXAMPLE 1
    LOOK AT OUR STATE GOVERNORS, THE CHIEF PROTAGONISTS OF THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL,WHO STARTED ALL THESE AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE \18,000 MINIMUM WAGE. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THEM IN YOUR STATES. EXCEPT FOR A VERY VERY, FEW, THEIR UTTERANCES, ACTIONS, POLICIES, AND LIFESTYLES ARE AT VARIANCE WITH OUR REALITIES AND ASPIRATIONS..THEY ARE HOPELESS PEOPLE. THEY ARE ARCH ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD ONLY NEED US WHEN ELECTIONS ARE AROUND THE CORNER. THIS IMBROGLIO IS A GOD-SENT OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN OUR SENSES TO KNOW OUR SWORN ENEMIES..THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO DISALLOW US FROM REACHING OUR FULL POTENTIALS!!!
