On Friday,27th June, 2014, Nigeria’s President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
\nwrote an article titled, “Goodluck Jonathan: Nothing is more important
\nthan bringing home Nigeria’s missing girls”, which was subsequently posted
\non Washington post, inorder to clarify reasons for his silence on efforts
\nto rescue the girls, laying emphasises on the need to obliterate acts
\ncapable of compromising on-going investigation.<\/p>\n
The said article was greeted with mixed reactions on Social media sites
\nand within hours, it went viral. While critics and supporters of Mr
\nPresident were engaged in heated discourse, dissecting and analysing the
\nsaid article with so much scrutiny, “NEW YORK POST”\u00a0 in its usual manner
\ndecided, it was its responsibility to reply President Jonathan with a
\nPhilippic and repugnant post titled, ” Newspaper Column Diplomacy” !!!.<\/p>\n
New York’s relevance seeking and penurious post went on to say, “When in
\nApril the Islamist group Boko Haram abducted nearly 300 girls from their
\nschool in northeast Nigeria, it com\u00c2\u00admanded global attention and sparked a
\n#BringBack\u00c2\u00adOurGirls movement.\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But the girls are still missing. The
\ncampaign seems to have moved from hashtag demands to news\u00c2\u00adpaper column
\ndiplomacy, it hypocritically noted.<\/p>\n
It further wrote, ” Meanwhile, this week Boko Haram kidnapped an\u00c2\u00adother 90
\nNigerian children and set off a massive bomb in the heart of the
\nnation capital. Apparently the government secret plan to get the
\ngirls back which President Jonathan says he has to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153remain quiet
\nabout\u00e2\u20ac isnt much impressing them.<\/p>\n
The depraved media site has contumeliously reproached every moved
\nPresident Goodluck Jonathan takes with so much disdain and cockyness, that
\none wonders, if it’s vituperative comments against Nigeria’s President is
\nin a bid to up its already diminished reputation.<\/p>\n
A very bias and primitive review by Newyork post, and am not surprised. Is
\nNewyork post claiming not to be in the know of Governments efforts towards
\ncurbing this menace? Is Newyork post claiming ignorance of the fact that,
\nthe continuous bombing and abduction of Nigerians in Nigeria started
\nimmediately a Minority from the South-South geo-political zone, was freely
\nand fairly voted into the exalted seat of the Presidency? Why hasn’t this
\nfact been highlighted by this paid propagandist, called Newyork post?<\/p>\n
No responsible Govt discusses its strategy, when faced with terrorism on
\nthe pages of newspapers or online portals,as that will be tantamount to
\nGovernments plan on returning the abducted girls alive.<\/p>\n
It is obvious that, the rise and continous menace unleashed on Nigerians
\nby Boko-haram terrorist, is politically motivated by those who have sworn
\nto make Nigeria ungovernable for president Jonathan and Newyork Post has
\nbecome a willing tool in spreading propaganda and biased reportage against
\nthe present regime.<\/p>\n
This same media site sometime ago, granted an interview to Nigeria’s
\nformer CBN Governor, now imposed Emir of Kano State, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,
\nafter he was disgracefully ousted from office for corrupt practices, and
\nin its signature style, it spared no effort in branding Mr President as
\ncorrupt\u00a0 and lacking leadership style, without getting facts and showing
\nfairness by contacting the other side before going to print, which\u00a0 is the
\nnorm for responsible journalist or media houses.<\/p>\n
No Nigerian media house engages in comments or acts capable of
\ndiscrediting the American Government with so much recklessness in the
\nmanner Newyork post has done. It must be condemned by all patriotic
\nNigerians.<\/p>\n
I have watched and read with abhorrence, the continuous derogatory remarks
\nof Newyork post on Our dear President Goodluck Jonathan,and I say enough
\nto this jiggery-pokery and codology style of blackmail by Newyork post
\nagainst President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Commander in Chief, Federal
\nRepublic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
