President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the country as government was doing its best to address the numerous challenges confronting the nation.

The President said this at the 2012 Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, organised by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Voice of Nigeria (VON).

Represented by the Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, Jonathan said that the present administration would not relent in its efforts to improve the standard of living of Nigerians.

According to the president, Nigeria’s challenges are not peculiar and insurmountable; they just require strong support and understanding from the citizenry to overcome them.

Jonathan said the Federal Government remained committed to the development of the economy for all Nigerians, irrespective of their status and religious backgrounds.

He urged Nigerians to use the season of Christmas to reach out to their compatriots who were in dire need of assistance, noting that Christmas was a period of love and faith.

In his Christmas message, the presiding bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), Bishop Mike Okonkwo, urged Nigerians to use the Christmas season to reflect on the challenges confronting the nation.

He, however, urged them to stop complaining about the difficulties but to keep faith with God as no situation was too big or difficult for Him to handle.

Okonkwo called on those in positions of authority to seek God’s favour at Christmas by impacting on the lives of the less-privileged in the society. NAN

NIGERIANS ARE FED UP! You and your
party sir have inflicted more wounds
on Nigerians because you have refused to fight corruption,
nepotism and favoritism. Its
unfortunate.
I am ashamed of GEJ being referred to as the
President of my fatherland,
Nigeria. He does not know what
he is
doing hence i said he lack WISDOM.

Nigerians have lost their faith in the ruling class even you jonathan !

President of boko hara republic of naigeria. Lol

I DON LOOSE FAITH OH! I SHOULD NOT LOOSE FAITH WHEN U CAN WASTE 14BILLION NAIRA ON UR CO-ROBBER(SAMBO) HOUSE

i lost my faith in nigeria wen God told me his sendin me to nigeria... tried all i cud to b posted sum oda country buh trusth God na no politics in heaven.. well hw dos dis change d price of fire wood..

Ok sir...mr empty promise...

If we can collectively vote 4 a president who has a detailed and adequate plan to fight corruption in this country, I think development and other dividends will follow.

Loose faith for where? Do we really have it in the first place? I believe the only one that can get better is the individual but for this Niger...I don rest case longest time!

GEJ keeps talking but lacks the willpower and courage to act. That is his problem!

i still believe nigeria has great future more than any other african country

This Man shld stop ranting abeggg, when u re done wt deceiving urself, let us know. You and ur co-robbers in Govt can continue with d looting of our treasury for all i care. Mr Goodluck, just know dat a day will come when the poor will have nothing to eat BUT the rich. Im sure by now ur fellow thief in Govt Okonjo is feeling the pain now, with the kidnap of her Mother. I only wish those bois could just exchange the poor innocent woman wt NOI herself......mtchewww. This hypocrite talking of faith in Nig

We nigerians can't lose faith in Nigeria but we have lost our faith in PDP(PAPA DECIEVE PIKIN) and u Gej.

We are not loosing faith in Nigeria, we are loosing faith in him, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

Speaking on behalf of most fed-up Nigerians represented by Nairaland's press secretary, my humble self:
Mr. President, this call to us not to loose faith in our country comes a little too late, that ship was boarded and has set sail.

LOL. Tell it to Dr. Mrs. Princess Ngozi Okonjo Iweala right now and you might get the hottest slap of your life!

*speechless*

i can't shout!


Please Did my comment make TOP 50?

Thank you Jesus!

Yeah! While Sambo shares laptops and LCDs as souvenirs.
Meanwhile, how are the roads that should be ready by december coming up?

how wany times has he said that this year?

when will someone be wise enough to give dat guy a dirty slap cos he really need one.see someome whose eating n travelling budget is in billions of naira.jonathan pls u dont ve to add salt to injury

this idiotic ram known as jonathan should talk less and act more....

why shouldn't we lose faith in a country rife with kidnapping, armed robbery and terrorist bombings? in other developed countries, the leader would have resigned voluntarily for his failure to keep the country in control!

there's despair everywhere in the country and this hat-wearing, armed-robber looking, piss-stained president wants us to keep faith with a failed state. i cannot wait for this dude to complete his term and fück off!

Fatdon:

which understanding and support have we not given jona and his brothers.. Abi,e easy to siddon keep quiet for years when nothing is working?.. Through out the years,have we ever gone out to protest despite knowing that our funds are stolen day and night.. Isn't our quiteness a form of support.. Jona you are ungrateful!!

fatdon:

.

Abeg,make this bishop shut the bleep up abeg.. Through out this year,we don reflect the problems of this country tire,day in,day out.. We found out that our problems are our leaders and men of God like him who shy away from the truth when a politician slaps them with a huge sum of offering... Christmas time wey person suppose use flex,and smile,spend time with loved one's na im person go use dey reflect the problem of naija abi?? Bishop,you no well...

fatdon: He, however, urged them to stop complaining about the difficulties but to keep faith with God as no situation was too big or difficult for Him to handle.

So make we sit down dey wait for God to magically solve our problem abi?? Then what is the use of the brain he gave us.. Anyway,i no blame this man sha,maybe na dat offering and tithe wey he dey collect from members dey make am misbehave...
