Kai !!!! It seems Patience is not deemed appropriate first lady material. Choi , it is often said that America know more of what is going on in Nigeria than some Nigerian intelligence agencies. This may be true . Why does Jonathan need enemies when he has Patience

UN Jamboree Fallout: Michelle Obama Shuns Patience Jonathan In New York
Posted: September 27, 2010 - 22:05
Posted by siteadmin


Despite her large, show-off delegation to New York—perhaps because of it—First Lady Patience Jonathan was on Friday in New York spurned by the wife of the world’s most powerful man. 

Michelle Obama, who was in New York as part of the 65th United Nations General Assembly, 
invited spouses of world leaders, including those of the leaders of such countries as Cameroon, Mongolia, Swaziland and Latvia, to tour a farm north of New York City as part of “Healthy Living” initiative.  She thereafter treated her guests to a seasonal lunch featuring bounty from the farm as well as the White House garden.

At both events, Nigeria’s Mrs. Jonathan was embarrassingly missing.

It was not immediately clear why she was not invited, but reliable sources said Mrs. Jonathan is not highly regarded because of her poor reputation.  It will be recalled that President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been very critical of corrupt African leaders, and Mrs. Jonathan has highly-visible and un-discharged money-laundering charges against her.  One of them, concerning the seizure from her of the sum of $13.5 million dollars by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on September 11, 2006, was broadcast worldwide by the International Herald Tribune.


Other factors in the decision to exclude her may be her insertion of self into the political process in Bayelsa, where she recently had a run-in with the state governor.  [b]Mrs. Jonathan also has a penchant for frivolous jamborees and wasting taxpayers’ money.  A report of her curious trip to Lebanon and Dubai in the early days of her husband’s presidency has badly damaged her reputation, a source said yesterday.  

The White House was also certain to have received reports of her bloated delegation to New York.  According to report by 234next newspaper and the entourage list obtained by Saharareporters, personal aides that accompanied Mrs. Jonathan into New York include her steward, Benson Okpara; her luggage officer, Geoffrey Obuofforibo; and her special assistant in charge of administration, Oroyemisi Ojewole.

And while her husband flew into New York on Thursday morning with 32 bodyguards and security aides, Mrs. Jonathan flew in her own security cocoon. There were her aide-de-camp, Jacob Tamunoibuomi; her orderly, Abigail Jonah; and Francis Ibiene, her chief security officer.[b/]

The president’s wife also shocked presidency officials, who coordinated the 36-hour trip, when she included her personal physician, Elizabeth Austin-Amadi, although the president’s chief physician, F. iberesima, was on also the trip.

Mrs. Jonathan also travelled with her director of protocol, Mfama Abam; her principal protocol officer, Nuhu Kwache; her special assistant, domestic matters, Martha Onwuzurumba; her special assistant, media, Aliagan Zubair; and her media officer, Ayo Adewuyi.

The first lady also took her private posse on the journey.  The inner chamber included four of her friends who were marked “private” on the presidential entourage. They were Bola Shagaya, Joyce Bozimo, Pelebo Banigo and Musa Ujah.

Also on her delegation were Helen Mark, wife of the President of the Senate; Mariam Imoke, wife of Cross River State governor; Fatima Shema, wife of the Katsina State governor; Oluwakemi Alao-Akala, wife of the Oyo State governor; and Clara Chime, wife of the Enugu State chief executive.

Mrs. Mark, in turn, brought along two of her aides - Ogwuiji Clement and Omeche Omudu , while the vice president’s wife, Amina Sambo,  made the journey with her aide-de-camp, Abubakar Dauda, as well as her principal protocol officer, Zayyad Abdulsalam, and her personal assistant, Dabo Suleiman.

[b]Meanwhile, SaharaReporters has learned that that Nigeria lost $25,000 to a con contractor who hired limousines for Mr. Jonathan’s delegation.
The US government provided three vehicles and escorts for the presidential delegation. But because of the bloated size of the team, about 500 people in total, additional vehicles had to be hired.  



However, instead of approaching the limousine company directly, the president's team went through a third party who simply inflated the contract by $25,000.

Jonathan profligacy will continue in Abuja tomorrow where his controversial wife will begin a series of state-sponsored celebrations of her 50th birthday celebration tagged "50-at-50".  The publicly-owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has begun a series of adverts of the event which includes awards to questionable characters like the chair of the EFCC, Farida Waziri, and the disgraced former speaker of the House of Representatives, Patricia Etteh.  The highlight of the celebrations of Mrs. Jonathan’s birthday will involve Mrs. Jonathan traveling back to the US with 50 women to party and shop.[/b]

This Jonathan's wife may be his downfall, she is out of control.He better reign her in, and force her to go for etiquette nd english classes.

Pathethic article by Saharareporters and Gbawe. This is so desperately pathetic because less tha 30 minutes ago, I just watched a video where Patience Jonathan was with Michele.I would have pasted pictures of the meeting, but I'm browsing with my Iphone &  I don't have the patience to search out pictures and paste them.

Gbawe, you and your pathethic saharareporters will be shamed with pictoral evidence once I get back to my lappy.

Saharareporters has become a useless tabloid.

Saharareporters = Junk Journalism and Falsehoood. They're now in the league of City People and Ecomium Gossip Tabloids.

The Anti-Jonathan Forces have become desperate and resorted to "underhand" tactics.

Vote For Change! Vote For Goodluck!

2011. . .YES WE WILL!

Too late for that now. class , finesse and sophistication cannot be taught or learnt overnight. Lets not forget that this was the woman once described as the "greediest woman in Bayelsa State". Some political analysts, while the entire nation was demonising Turai for her greed , actually sounded a cautionary warning that Patience is much worse as far as crass materialism goes . We are seeing this being proven to us now.

To make this worse , this woman cannot even hold her own in the midst of of other erudite first ladies who are not just accessories on their husbands arms !!!This is the type of woman that will give power supply contract to her semi-illiterate cousin under some pseudo "privatisation" scheme by the GEJ Government that would still lead Nigeria nowhere because of how folks like his own wife will hijack everything good and turn it into their own get rich quick scheme while Nigeria gains nada. We have seen it all before like OBJ and his silly NIPP scheme , that saw Iyabo Obasonjo-Bello and other OBJ cronies winning power generation contracts, with not a single Megawatt added to our grid after many members of the 'in-crowd' became billionaires at Nigeria's expense.

Jonathan and his wife are more of the same . After Yar Adua and Turai, Nigeria deserves much more. We do not need another stooge with a greedy, insensitive and uncouth wife.

Save yourself the worthless effort. Sue saharareporters for any false reportage.

Sahara give it to everyone without prejudice. You can't cite Sahara criticism of IBB then ignore Sahara criticism of Ibifaka Jonathan. Sahara goes as far as naming the peeps in the entourage, which indicates decent investigation. Nice to see that Ibifaka has employed a lot of my fellow Okinans though. At least make their families Okrika man enjoy small Presidential Keynesian stimulus. Hehehehe

BTW, no other President has more security concern than Goodluck so the size of his security detail is understandable. I understand that he wears bullet proof vest under his George. Make una check in bowler hat sef, e fit be bulletproof. Hehehehehe.

Wooow, Beaf!!! I have just checked it out!! Splendid is the word!!Beyond excellent! This stuff has got the capacity to be a game changer for Africa. A platform for what I would term "Catalytic Renaissance". The average mind might not grasp the potential impact of what this platform can ignite, but damn, the possibilities are limitless!!

Once more, wooooow!!!Just great.

Thanks a lot, all the kind words are much appreciated. We are still generating momentum and reaching out, it tough for now, but I'm sure it will begin to take off soon, especially after September 30 (Thursday / Friday), when we will be bold enough to begin stepping out and announcing our presence to the World. I pray that its well recieved and can usher in the sort of positive technological change we need.

I really love the phrase "Catalytic Renaissance," it is what we have to strive toward.

ok gbawe. You were smart enough to have edited your previous write up. I was about to tell you just how wacky it was for your level of intelligence. Anyways, very soon you will be ashamed of posting this article because as I stated earlier, I just watched on TV this evening footage of Patience Jonathan and Michelle obama exchanging very extended pleasantries at a gathering with a few other first ladies.

Ibime, critisism built on fabricated falsehoods be it against Ibb or Gej would only serve to destroy the reputation of saharareporters. The article is actually pathetic because they tried hard to imply that Michelle would have nothing to do with patience Jonathan based on some fabricated stories done by saharareporters in the past. It is the height of a false sense of importance to assume that the u.s would base any of it's decisions on articles from saharareporters.

I hope I can pledge a little support in the form of facebook and google ads. I really would like to see this turn into a huge success.

Yes of course, that will be most welcome! I'm saying thanks in advance.

Where is Gbawe now? The shameless Saharareporters have retracted their story. They are placing the blame of their fake article on one of their journalists. What a sorry piece of tabloid. This just goes to show that most of their other articles of recent have been majorly fabricated falsehoods!
