President Jonathan gets down to earth in this exclusive interview - EL Special 

Lovely...this guy has a clear plan to take Nigeria to greater heights. He is very intelligent unlike what the opposition wants us to believe.

When Nigeria have a president

Logical and clean, he is talking and communicating and not sounding like he wants to sleep like the one we now have

This journalist needs training. She has no patience to allow the man talk. Hearing this interview three years after, I have more respect for GEJ.

I am still searching for Buhari's LIVE INTERVIEW too!!!!!!

I think she suddenly realized she was interviewing the President and got scared and intimidated...I can't understand how she kept talking over him... I felt embarrassed for her...

Nigerians lack vision for have let go of this great gift God sent to us.A man full of vision,wisdom,focus and an articulator to the core (permit me to use this last word) .Shame on those who lobbied him out for their own selfish interest.Those shallow minded people today wants to be identified with him(GEJ) today because those their shortsightedness has failed them.I wish she(Interviewer) had allowed him to speak for himself.I wonder if she was the interviewer of interviewed? GEJ,please NOTE THAT,we miss you so very much and wish you'd forgive us and come back to salvage us from where you stopped.

This is the best of all Mr president's interviews I have watched. Really really flowing here and so articulate.

This is truly down to earth. Let everyone find out every matter concerning the president and the opposition and hold on to the truth. I'm casting my vote for him.

2020 Naija has experienced the change Now we are experiencing next level

I have confidence in this man now! HE knows his stuff

I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT, HE IS VERY ARTICULATE HERE. HE NEEDS A POWERFUL MEDIA TEAM TO LET NIGERIANS KNOW WHAT HE IS UPTO AND DOING.

Buhari Buhari Buhari, Nigeria is well, We left this man and took a man who does not like addressing the nation how sad

Disappointed that i kept saying shut up and let the president speak, i was surprised that Jonathan did not shut her up. He is a kind and polite president. she was so blown away and kept repeating the Abuja invitation that Jonathan casully mentioned. GEJ 2015.

NOTE:President Good luck Ebele Jonathan's transformation agenda is the beginning of the positive transformation Nigeria needs as a country{for those who really see}. All we need do as individuals in this corruption swollen country is to work on our selves and work with the transformation of the country.

I hope she will also interview buhari now that the situation is worst in Nigeria

He said nothing is to equal to blood of nigeria.He cannot use violence to get to power.He did just that.

The point i always make is that though Jonathan is not the best for the Presidency of Nigeria but Buhari will be worse than Jonathan..He have no audacity to vie for the top office.

I have always seen this interviewer as professional. Don't know why she behaved this way in this interview, taking words from him, explaining his point of view, not seeming to be critical of her questions and no follow ups. It is as if she is encouraging and advertising him rather than interviewing him.

While you were in office, I helped you in all capacities, stayed up all nights, working with you. There was nothing you asked for, that I did not provide, knowing how much I love Nigeria.

A good Nigerian

Naira is 200 to 1 dollar... and we were complaining so CHANGE finally came.. now it's 350 to 1 dollar wtf! who votes for this people !!

Oh my God! Can this woman just shut up and let the President speak?

Respect mr president.

I have nothing against the president yeah since all the questions are on his favor yes he got the right to answer them smoothly, and also since so call journalist even helpful with answers bravo mr president. Leanson to lean is next time go to the international community like London, France, the USA even hahaha ghana, trust me you will be answering TOUGH questions. She is not a journalist.

Your team is doing their job now but i hope this is not too late.

Mr present is right in this aspect

Hi Mo, good interview addressing key points, however, I think u should allow the President answer the questions after you have asked them. Its a more cordial way and we would be able to know the real in-depth of his knowledge on the highlighted issues. thanks.

Are you just gonna allow the interviewee speak???

This is more of a cheering up session than an interview...She won't even stop interrupting him ...

What we should be worried about are the rotten eggs in the system,the green snakes in the green grass that would go to any length to see they frustrate the good intentions and good plans ours president is putting up for us{NIGERIA GO BETTER.}

young lady why the noding? why the unnecessary interruption. I sensed nervousness.

So unprofessional in my opinion..She is not even allowing him to finish answering the questions before she starts talking over him ..she really lacks the qualities of a professional journalist. What a joke..if she was interviewing Obama would she be talking over him like that . In my opinion it was very poor

Why couldnt she allow him explain himself. Rather than interrupting him every now and then, making him look like a child.. Totally unprofessional if you ask me.

AWESOME!

Walahi Ms Mo was very rude in this interview. Finishing Mr presdent's words is rude. Even cutting the man in the middle of sentences to help him make a point clearer and subsequently changing the question. Really? Where has respect and decorum gone to?

I didn't know Nigeria has pretty women like the interviewer

My personal observation is that, she constantly interrupt the conversation making it difficult for the president to provide more detail on the subjects discussed. It may be rude. She'd lost the opportunity to capture and highlight key contributions where necessary. ..Not very professional!

Is this an interview or an interaction with the president?

Good interview could have been better interview, the journalist needs to work on her interview skills, not interrupting her guest, not be judgmental and not putting words in their mouth, though I am no fan of President Jonathan either several times I had to mute the volume just because the journalist interrupted and interjected too much.

Mo Abudu should allow her Guest to speak and enlighten her Audience. She interjects and interrupts a lot. She should be advised on this.

Let give.some.credit

this is a disgrace..total waste of 31 minutes and 27 seconds..she should never call herself a journalist again...cant even allow the man talk..making Jonathan sound smart

why does she keep interrupting him though?

Very unfortunate. This interview (or more appropriate, charade) is an embarrasment to Journalism and all decent news followers.

President GEJ, I stayed up for years working with you, how much did you pay me in NGN or in USD? I directed you well when President Yar'Dua passed on. Where is my paycheck? You owe me a lot! Where is the flat you promised me? Where is the land I asked for to be developed? I need them all now. All I got was few fresh fish to eat.

9ja don too fuck up see better luck wey dem trowe

Its a privilege to interview the president but Mo Abudu needs to be professional, she was highly intrusive & leading The president has some achievements but lots of baggage, monumental insecurity & galloping corruption Our president lied to Amanpour that we had electricity Now he lies about longest coast in Africa, pls check the map for countries that have much longer coasts than ours, Malawi, South Africa, Madagascar, Libya, Egypt, Angola, Namibia

It's funny how 200 naira been 1 dollar was a question and currently it's swinging from 460-600 yet no question

once we get dat security thing sorted out

Is this Lady a Journalist or just someone who wants proximity with a very powerful politician. I just wasted my time watching this sexy lady. Why is she laughing and smiling.

Lol this woman. She just keeps talking over him

Mo Abudu I guess U re suppose to be a professional journalist but you didn't present yourself as one.My candid advice to you is to compose yourself and control your gesture each time you re with a public figure like the present your presentation in this interview is unprofessional. Y putting words in d president mouth you ve collected your national cake pls check yourself and kip doing good job.

Do not put criminals behind bars. You would not get the money they stole. Ask them to build something, a factory and hire Nigerian workers. The load of Nigerians is not just for one person to carry. it would overwhelm that person. Last time we communicated in 2013, you told me that I would lose my freedom. Please, stop grounding me. I want to be free. My look-alike, your wife, Dame-P had made away with all the money, using me. Where is my share? Do not kill me for asking, bikonu!

Your success was working trains ....ok

YOU COULD HAVE INTERVIEWED YOURSELF !!! IF U HAVE 2 DO THE TALKING ALL ALONE. Shamefull and tasteless

This is a very useless journalist, I totally dislike this interview. How can you be the one asking the questions and also answering the questions yourself. You won't even let the man speak or make his point. I think you need to go and learn how to interview.

I thought I read an article published by CNN sometime last year about this woman as the "Oprah of Africa" but with her compositional body language and professionalism here it is far contrary to the reality. To interview a president could be an exciting moment but does she have to lose it all and by the way why do they always ask him the same questions people already knows what the responds would be like as "the goats and the yams" the 20th century moving train and why did she euphorically excited for the invitation to the States house for an elaborated interview eh! and why GEJ is never steadfast to give conclusive details on his achievements. However the title of this video is not befitting in consideration to this interview for many reasons to my own point of view if recapitulating the so-called presidential media chat except of a change in the location and reducing the numbers of interrogators there is nothing here that got down to earth except of we are all used to mediocrity and it has almost become the norm within the Nigerian society.

I have a bank account, in Nigeria and in USA, I am still waiting for you to pay me. I was almost killed at a recreation center campaigning for your re-election in 2011. Haba!!!

Was this an interview? I don't always get it ....

Very poor interviewer. Now as for the" president".....sigh!

Jonathan is a mumu...Nigeria does not have the longest coastline in Africa. Nigeria is not even among the 10 countries with the longest coastline in Africa.

Very funny interview,who is Diezani's BF ?? Where is the stolen money and who enabled it?? How can you fight corruption when you are the most corrupt !!

President GEJ, I , single-handedly gave you one of my personal email addresses to use. You made billions of NGN, where is my share? You are still using it. All my connections? All I could get from your wife was name-calling!

You are not allowing the president to speak you lack the listening skills.go away jo

Is this really an interview?

Let Mr President talk, please. (stop interrupting him!)

Can she stop interrupting the man. this is a really bad interview. voicing over each other and all

Aunty Mo wee you keep quiet! damn

Thanks, you CEO of EBONY from ONDO-STATE, you've done so well the conduct of the interview, the decor and lieu is more than excellent. Bravo lady sister. Franckly speaking, this is one of the Best of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the major host exceed in all facete of Public Politic of interview. I don't know her but she exceed to the statut of Abimbola Coker of past year and the trip of Nelly Mbamtogun, if my spelling is right and good. I coded the TWO and let us be hoping we are moving and walk though slow and slowly, but getting it right.

Can you let him speak..............

Honestly this girl is shame

Mo, you are a disappointment. I am sure you were paid for this but you didn't do it well.

This interview is so unprofessional. Let the guy talk.. Just showing how unintelligent he is .. ah han.. is Mo working for APC ni?

9erian likes title, sha. Is it necessary to make an introduction with a long title.

Make she allow the guy talk

we getting close to dat time were , who give u PhD

I dislike Nigerians becoming expert critics. Don't forget that MO has interviewed Hillary Clinton,Babangida just to mention a fee and viewing such interview will justify that she is a core professional. But so many things could be going on in the background , the ambience and this interview setting. She obviously one this very rare occasion has acted out of character. Obviously, MO was nervous and on the edge here the reasons which is clear only to her. It was an election period and she could have been warned to act aggressive but covertly make the President look good. But this is not the MO we know. She came across,nervous, very tense and at some point ,her breathing was laboured.

Since when do interviewers nod their heads signalling agreement to the points being made? and since when do interviewers help interviewees buttress their points? .....thought she is supposed to be unbiased, or was there a memo before this interview we dint get?....... THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW....!!!...........I did not even finish seeing it...

failed interview...she didn't maintain a composure expected of her heightened calibre....she was too patronizing. Shame! She should learn from this video and realize she ain't got what it takes for a tough interview.

I wouldn't blame her for this obvious unprofessionalism displayed! I could see she was being censored and was clearly under surveillance. This was not a real interviewing environment. I could see an environment where the tone around her was "rubbish our Presido and come out to smell pepper or caress him and come out to get rewarded!". Seeing Okupe, some presidency officials and a soldier earlier parading themselves, I could sense a serious warning had gone forth to her. And as we know our President as a cheerful donor of US Dollars, a good sum of USD could have gone out earlier, so why wouldn't she speak for the President. I hardly heard the man's voice almost throughout the so-called interview. She doubled as the interviewer and the interviewee. In fact, we need to ask them if this was a real interview or a campaign script!

This is the worst presidential interview ever recorded. This woman lacks the qualities of a journalist. She looks so afraid and lost. I regret watching this and I hope it doesn't air on international tv.

This lady pls shut up! This is horrible! Allow the president to talk for God's sake. SMH!

One of the key arguments the Conservative party of Britain used in their campaign against the recent past Labor party government was excess government borrowings and spending. Today, evidently, it seams the Conservative government followed the same pattern of borrowing and spending and may have even borrowed, in a short time, more than what the Labor government borrowed in thirteen (13) years. Britain’s current national debt is over £1.3 Trillion and rising, which is about 88.2% of UK GDP. One of the key arguments of the U.S.A Democratic party campaign against the recent past Republican government was irresponsible borrowing and spending. Today, evidently, its seamed the Democratic government followed the same pattern of borrowing and spending because the U.S.A. national debt is over $18.113 Trillion and rising, which is about 102% of U.S.A GDP. Austerity measures are usually the slogan of politicians until they get in office. Then they continue in the footstep of the previous government. This reason is obvious. It is inevitable. Government improvement agenda cannot avoid spending. Except of course the government want to leave the society in a very unattractive state for investors and industrialists. Investments and industries is what powers up the economy of a country. As investments increases, more industries emerge. As more industries emerge, the GDP of the country grows. As the GDP of the country grows, government fiscal revenue increases. As government revenue increases, so does the country assets and reserves. As the country assets and reserves increases, so does the country economy and currency. The resent devaluation of Nigeria currency as a result of the drop in crude oil Brent price just tells Nigerians that the country is still relying on one sector (petroleum) as its main source of revenue. This is appalling. Nigeria currently sitting on a national debt, which is about 9.2% of its current GDP, has a healthy opportunity for growth. In my opinion the downfall of crude oil Brent price is not a set back for Nigeria. Instead the Nigeria government must consider it a unique opportunity to go back to the drawing board. The Western societies are exploring self-sustainability and increasingly abandoning fossil fuel and considering alternative energy. The future is gradually unveiling itself. Will Nigeria petroleum trading still be in global market? Nigeria government should reduce its use and dependence on that economic sector and activate all other industries and government fiscal revenue generating sources in Nigeria, which in my review has the capacity to generate far more revenue in a year than what the petroleum industry has given Nigeria in the twenty five years.

Before you criticize your President check the globe if there are situation looking like the one we are facing in these country. The super power countries are falling in everything that includes their education, security, economy, employment . some are into debt they cannot pay and are given sanctions. Pls let us look at ourselves and see what we can get out of our problems. Respect is reciprocal learn to respect them. Johnathan on one hand is not someone you can go to and pour abuses on, if not for the position he holds. likewise others who are willing to rule this country with good conscious. Can we learn to respect the seat of those who rule over us. DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO TO YOU. STOP MAKING CALLUS STATEMENT ABOUT THEM. Thank you. My sincere advise is that you know whom you want, just go on the day of election and vote. One secret I want you to know is that after the election these people will reconcile themselves and apologize to each other but me and you will be here think if they have better plan for us.

Why has the President not address the question raised about the current dollar rate in the Exchange Market?

I remain silent...

The problem with the president Jonathan led administration is that they don't care about what private industries do to we workers, mostly Indian companies and Abu Dhabi companies, I work in a company which provides telecoms services that make billions in dollars but my salary is 70k for the past 2 years and till date I am a contract staff. And a new entry in a bank earns 140k to 180k, same contract staff and when confirmed earns more. Please this salary discrepancies should be addressed becos it spells doom to government efforts on employment and standards of living.

Mo did not do so well in this interview. She interjected and interrupted the former President a lot

EbonyLife TV Biko tell your CEO to learn to allow her interviewees answer her questions fully before saying a word? Why is speaking over him? I could barely hear him. Na wa all the hype n this?

"I hope you don't think i'm harassing you Mr. President" Seriously? Is this a therapy session or an interview?

Hey miss journalist you need some more training how could you ask a question and not allow the man answer and the same time you are talking over his answer. You ask him if he has any regret, you should direct that question to Nigerians their regrets, they were demonstrating everywhere and he president Jonathan didn't do anything to them can they demonstrate now freely, can they even smoke weed (igbo) now. Its now death sentence. During Jonathan's era dollar to naira was $1 to N 200, now it's $1:1600 naira life is better now in Nigeria than Jonathan's era.

And the award for the most UNPROFESSIONAL SHODDIEST INTERVIEW EVER GIVEN GOES TO MO ABUDU... This is what happens when people with plenty money think they should be on TV instead of investing in REAL professionals to get the job done. RUBBISH...

teleguided interview, was this lady interviewer bribed, or vetted on questions to ask or she is an outright supporter of GEJ. poor journalism. it would have been a nice interview if she said nothing but just ask questions. each time i watch this crap my stomach churns. poor job EL SPECIAL. take this down it belongs in the garbage can.

This interviewer is unprofessional and rude in manners when it comes to interviewing the president. Vulgar and tactless in her approach.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE : SATURDAY 28th MARCH 2015 THEME : IMPULSIVE PRAISE Memorise: And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Luke 1:46-47 Read: Acts 3:6-9 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : OBADIAH 1, JONAH 4 and MATTHEW 10:16-39 Message Praise can be described as a spontaneous outburst of thanksgiving by a grateful child of God in God’s presence. When a person knows God and experiences Him intimately, he or she sings to the Lord with deepest praise! Our God is praiseworthy. He dwells in the praises of His children. Christ came so that men would be able to praise God in holiness and truth. The woks of Jesus caused men to rejoice and praise God. Luke 19:37 reports that: “And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all mighty works that they had seen;” God created us to praise Him. This will be our activity when we are gathered around His throne in Heaven. No true child of God should have difficulty thinking of reasons why God deserves his or her praise. We should enjoy the times we have to praise our Lord, both privately and publicly. If your life is not filled with praise, it may be that you have lost your appreciation of God’s mercy upon you. Please, don’t forget what God has saved you from. Never take for granted what it means to have the assurance of eternity with God. Your lifestyle should praise God in holiness and good works. Jesus in Matthew 5:16 said: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Moreover, don’t disregard the spiritual kinship you enjoy with other believers. Take time to recount the blessings God has poured out upon you and your family in the midst of God’s people. Jesus in Hebrew 2:12 declared thus: “Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” As you contemplate the boundless love and mercy God has shown you, you will want to sing praises to His holy Name. Impulsive praises is spontaneous. It is involuntary and not pre-meditated. Here you can sing praises to God or mention His redemptive Names. Here you praise God because you are overwhelmed by His greatness, loving-kindness and goodness to you. Impulsive praise is credible praise. It does not have to be manipulated or orchestrated. It is a real and personal expression of a grateful heart and wonder-filled life that has encountered the Holy God. This is what God expects from you. Key Point : Sincere praise is the spontaneous response of one who meditates on the greatness and goodness of Lord. AUTHOR : Pst E. A ADEBOYE

I almost pity GEJ in this interview he was practically struggling to get a word in... he almost sounds intelligent too...ALMOST

Talking with both sides of mouth is not professional journalism. In your with GMB, you run down the government you seem to be indirectly applauding here. By asking GMB questions, you agreed the state of the nation is below average, and you asked him what will he do to salvage it. Now the opposite is the case while interviewing GEJ. Compare this video with this [MUST WATCH] EbonyLifeTV Discussion with General Mohammadu Buhari.

We lost your dignity Sir!

Say NO to Jonathan!
