Apparently troubled by the persistence of Boko Haram’s attack and the killing of innocent Nigerians, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, said that Nigeria was at a crossroad regarding the spate of bombings and insecurity witnessed recently. He said it was uncalled for.

Jonathan, who made the disclosure in Uyo at the grand finale of activities to mark this year’s Armed Forces day celebration, also ordered an immediate review of the terms and conditions of service of personnel of the Armed Forces, noting that the welfare of personnel shall remain a top priority of his administration at all times.

On his part, Akwa Ibom state governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, disclosed that the menace of the Boko Haram is a challenge to all the Governors in the country and not the problem of the Northern Governors alone.

Represented by Vice President Namadi Sambo, Jonathan said: “Let me say that the spate of insecurity that we have witnessed recently, including bomb explosions and violence in parts of the country is uncalled for.”

It would have been better if he had just kept mute. at least silence would have been more dignifying

“Let me say that the spate of insecurity that we have witnessed recently, including bomb explosions and violence in parts of the country is uncalled for.”


President doesn't think we can figure that out already?

What we can't figure out and need to know from him is what to expect. What's the plan of action to reinstate safety?

my brother/sister, you better start believeing it

you wasted you vote, and that is the reality

he is not only weak but also clueless, u can even see his wife become a fashion model. lol

He is opening his mouth weeks after the wahala has started. It is clear he doesnt know what to do, but then again it is what nigerians voted for

You guys should just pray for him and the nation.Just let him be.I never voted for him.Not with standing he happens to be our president.How can he do anything with everyone(Nigerians) attacking him and wishing him bad things.People outside Nigeria will laugh at us and think he is nobody considering how he is treated back home.
I may not like him as president and did not vote for him but he remains a bonafide Nigerian and has every right as far as i Know to be a president and get Nigerians behind him.

TIMES ARE HARD FOR HIM AND THE NATION.NOW IS THE TIME TO SUPPORT HIS GOVERNMENT AND NIGERIANS TO DO MORE TO MAKE IT WORK.

Arewa is a very good organsation especially the youth division. when OPC where killing us in lagos, they protected us unlike Boko haram who is fighting for something that is impossible and they know it

u see, to make people muslims is not by bombing and killing, you have to show it by your manners as a representative of islam all over the world

boko haram is making the opposite of that,

arewa unites us all, even for the fact that a yoruba man heads it speaks a lot about us northerners

i am glad ohaneze got it right this time around, there job is to maintain what they have

afenefere too is doing great but i can not really say

and yeah i am part ibibio as well

So you're one of them? Your future generations will pay for what you ppl did to Nigeria. Mark my words

Maybe its the green air coming out of GEJ's armpit that intrigued you or maybe its his oversized head.

OPC wasnt killing yorubas but hausas,at the time.

make e'no be like say, some people were forced on us because bad tins just de flow 4 we naija now, our lidas no get focus,cos wetin dem de tink na de moni and not d security of d coomon people like us ooooo,so to me we still neva get rit lidas wit focus, finally na our moni them de chop and by God grace animal go hunt the hunter one deooooooooo,

First and foremost our police in this country of ours are a disgrace, even a teenage civilian has got guts than those men in in blacks that called themselves policemen. I mean they have got no intelligence at all, mean while one of their job is to gather intelligence information so as to better protect citizens.

The next they will says is that government did not empower them enough, improper welfare and what have you, but have they stopped for once to ask themselves if they have justify the little they were empowered with. coz if they had the Nigerian community would have come out & openly fight their cause.

The Police force itself is an epitome of corruption in this country, so until the police force is put in order we will keep having issues of insecurity Will not seize.

PLEASE STOP INSULTING THE PRESIDENT!!!

IT IS RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL, INSTEAD LET US ALL SUPPORT HIM AND PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY,

REMEMBER, GOD PUT HIM THERE,

Haka_nai you are sure a part of the coming great NIGERIA! You just changed my mind towards GEJ. Thanks.

Am really beginning to feel bad for this man Jonathan. His actually doing his very best to please everybody.

He is a peaceful man and most of us knows he is not what Nigeria needs at this point in time. We need a man with iron fist and the foresight of an eagle to move the nation forward. But since we ended up with the type of Jonathan - a make everyone happy kind of guy, lets just support him and help him succeed.

This boko guys should for the love of all they hold dear forgive the injustice meted on their group [which was actually committed when their brother Yar adua was in power] and lay down their arms.

The poor police officers and military men butchered so far - should be enough recompense for the injustice on their group. After seeing those photos of murdered police officers, i really felt very bad and very sad for our dear country.

Their is a strong fabric that binds us all together. that fabric refuse to be torn apart despite all our misdeeds. Please people lets accept our shortfalls as a people and move this great country forward.

LONG LIVE NIGERIA.
