Hmmmmn..... i can see reasons for committees upon committees, just to mark time? this is really a confession.
Nigeria deserves the kind of leaders it gets, i can't remember a president or head of state of this great nation who adequately prepared for the post before it fell on them, NONE!
They started learning how to fight at the battle front, tell me how they won't perform woefully and be tossed about by every tom, dick nd Harry's advice undecided

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said for every issue he had to take a decision on, multiple suggestions that were most times contradictory, were made available to him.

He said it was therefore important for Nigerians to continue to pray to God to give him wisdom to take the right decisions that would not bring suffering to the people.

Jonathan spoke at the 2014 Christmas Carol organised by the Aso Villa Chapel at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

While saying that nobody placed oneself in a position of authority without the consent of God, he expressed the belief that God, who chose him, would see him through.

The President said, “We pray that God should give those of us who are in charge the grace to do things with the fear of God. If we begin to do what is right in our own little way, this nation will survive.

“God knows why we are here. Nobody will place himself in any position without God. So God that gives all of us the opportunity will see us through.

“For me your servant today, I will continue to request for your prayers that God should give me the wisdom to do what is right in His sight.

“Because it is quite challenging for a leader. For every subject that you want to take a decision, you will have multiple suggestions, some contradictory, some to the left, some to the right, some to the centre. But you must take a decision.

“It is only God that can guide you to take the rightful decision that will not bring suffering to your people.

“We will try our best and we will continue to do our best. We promise that any opportunity given to us, we will use it to serve mankind.”

IF they give you bad advice, use your head as obama don't go around complaining. You are the president and must show the world you are not actually clueless.We won't give you symphaty vote for letting us down for 6 good years. So get that into your head.

There are tools in making decisions, critical analysis of options, cost benefit analysis..etc.

Apply those tools to make decisions, then ask God for guidance...

Do your work first.

dude, c'mon..I know you enjoy talking smack about the president of your country but theirs a limit. Its always easy to point fingers and call names but my friend give the president some breathing space. Don't reduce any word he says into some kind of yardstick to throw insults.

It's never easy to be a leader...give credit to those that are leaders, they're going through a lot
Truthfully they are going through a lot and they shud earn their pay...A person vying for the post of a president shud know wat the job entails and the difficulties that comes with it..Its like being paid a large sum of money to manage a company and u keep complaining the job is too hard, why not step down if its too hardn after all u are paid a large sum to manage it

Only a sincere and honest man can speak like this. May God who gave Solomon the wisdom to rule also give our president the needed wisdom to govern Nigeria.

How come he's just saying this after 6 years, no time abeg...my prayer to me, my family, GMB and better Nigeria

U do even reason before u talk
I guess not
I tend to concur with his statement cos there are some people in his cabinet sabotaging his effort who I believe to be unintelligent..e.g, I wonder what that Doctor turned journalist is still doing there. Imagine him comparing Jonathan to jesus. Even if u want to praise him for his effort, why blaspheme.. I think Jonathan needs to fire many of them if he gets to win the next election though I hope he does not

He has more than 56 days to spend. Yes, he will be defeat on the 14/02/2015, he will remain there till May 29. During this period, he would have made history as the first lame duck in Nigeria.

WELL SAID.I wish people could see through Buhari.All he wants is for power to shift back to the north and it will remain as usual.I pray it wont be too late before our people realises this.

the chicken has finally come home to roast, I don't expect this kind of statement from Obama, the like of Bill clinton during his reign or Tony Blair, considering the fact that they have to manage some international crisis too aside from their country issues.
Mr president, I think in my person opinion u have tried ur best, but ur best is not enough, so let's try something new, because ko si time lati ma check time omo Iya, that's is to say ko sere ni moscow. bow out jejely. #vote4change#

Thank you emphany... I am very sure all those reigning insults on the presidents themselves has got no respect for themselves as a person, because how on earth would u just disrespect ur leaders and use all sorts of words against them? do u all know what leadership is all about? It's shows how saucy you are as an individual. Come on, u guys shd show maturity urselves... trends like this are not meant for babies. Pls let's act matured and like people with good reasoning.

Well, in my theory; God may not bypass certain natural laws.
For example: we can't pray for the rain to start falling from the ground and falls into the sky.
OR
As for a man with no legs for the leg to grow

What I'm saying is: if you have faith, u need the right action.
How do God give wisdom to a man without a brain?

It beats me though.
