It's incredible what cheap lies people believe. The rules were relaxed even before Jonathan visited the US. And this involved ALL the countries that were in the list, not just Nigeria. The relaxing of the rules had nothing to do with Jonathan's visit, my friend. Get your facts right. Jonathan's visit, if anything, deflated Nigeria's pride in the US. I am saying this from a point of knowledge. It is the selective justice and love for mediocrity that will finally doom that country irreparably. I am sorry to say this, but it's the truth.Farooq A.

President may have made statement that is unleashing your anger base on your grammatical prowess, but then, the grammatical blunder as at least, removed Nigeria from the US terror list. This act is plus considering the embarrassing second level checks Nigerians are subjected to each time they travelled to USA. <br /><br />I am in total support of constructive criticism of our leaders' performance on major national issues but not on grammatical mistakes. In my opinion, you are joining others in helping to distract the populace from major issues of national to a mere non so consequential matter that will not impact on the lives of an average Nigeria.<br /><br />Please in the name of Allah, let us all be presenting our arguements in line with pure reasoning so that we also will not be caught in the art that will be detrimental to the growth and development of our great nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
