President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the numerous problems facing Nigeria started before he took over the mantle of the leadership about two years ago.

The President, who spoke in Enugu during the funeral ceremony in honour of the Mother of Enugu State Governor, Mrs Theresa Chime, said something must have gone wrong along the line from 1914 when the Southern and Northern Protectorate were amalgamated till date.

He averred that Nigerians needed to reassess their journey especially from independence till date to know where the nation have gone wrong or done well.

The president advised Nigerians against playing politics with the development of the country and appealed for all hands to be on deck to save Nigeria.

He commiserated with Governor Sullivan Chime and members of his family, noting that the deceased contributed enormously to the successes recorded by his children.

Earlier in his speech, Governor Chime thanked the president for attending the funeral ceremony and prayed God to continue to give him courage to carry out his reform agenda.

Toaskarity: Mmm, all I can see in his speech is division of southern and northern nigeria
I don't disagree with him, this may favor all of us let's try and see if dividing nigeria
will work, maybe it may work, dividing nigeria into two is not bad! We have tried
to come together for 50yrs to no avail,let's try another thing maybe the way scotland
and england do it. Who knows! We can't cotinue to decieve ourselves, let's try it and see!

DivideUs: 1914 is the problem? soooooooooooooooooooooo?

Andro Blaze: ^^^The man seems more and more clueless, can you imagine this sort of speech from any other world leader of repute?

Mr Johnatan, no one said you are "Nigeria's problem". However people like you who voluntarily ask for responsibilty, are given it by the people and then fail them in every way possible are the protagonsit in chief of this tragedy we call our country.

Keep feeling sorry for yourself while millions live in hopelessness.

Toaskarity: Have we try it first? Its a fool that keep doing same thing always and expect
different result. For how long can we continue to decieve ourself?
The truth about Nigeria is that we all know our probb-corruption! Religious extremist
I think this re two things that made us lack behind but the worst of all is that trabilism
is taking ppl away to tackle this problem! When bankole steal-its like yorubas are thief!
When boko kills- (to others)its like hausa re extremist, when a desperate niggar for money kidnap-(to others)its like
Igbos are kidnappers! When desparate gang breaks a pipeline-(to others) its like ss ppl are gang criminals.
The worst also is let say u blame gej- some will call him their son and scream, you blame iweala-her kin will
will tell you she is smarter than sanusi! You talk bad stuff about sanusi-then you will see how the kin defend he is good
out of others blah blah blah. You talk about obasanjo then you re in soup cos the kin will tell you that he dint steal upto abacha


My own advise is for a break and see if ppl in each area can tackle this corruption maybe not to protect! Breaking nigeria maybe our only hope for now or else the country wants to keep living a fake till it befalls so badly on them!

leomaxx: I USED TO GIVE Zap ABOUT BOKO HARAM KILLING UP NORTH, BUT NOW I DONT GIVE A D.A.M.N; THEY KILLED OUR FORE FATHERS IN THE CIVIL WAR, ITS TIME THEY KILL THEMSELVE AND REDUCE THE NORTH TO SOMALIA FOR THE GLORY OF THE SOUTHERN PROTECTORATE TO RISE

sheyguy:
Believe me, Jonathan is realy addicted to blame-shifting and ethnic politics, even when he is in the most powerful seat already. Maybe the 1914 is responsible for his decision to go against Power rotation policy within PDP also, a policy that help put Pdp on top.

leomaxx: HE IS LITERARY SAYING THAT PUTTING TOGETHER NORTH AND SOUTH WAS WRONG. FULL STOP

Mynd_44: And if we try it and it does not work what happens?

DivideUs:

and the fool is busy blocking SNC?

maclatunji: He should have said this during the campaign. The man is losing grasp of the responsibility that he has accepted as President.
