President Jonathan New Year Message To The Nation by Sunymoore(m): 6:38am On Jan 01, 2015 |
In 2014, Nigeria learnt a very important lesson in the power of unity as the Ebola Virus Disease brought out the best in us which enabled us defeat one of the worst plagues the world has seen. We were moved by the high ideals of patriotism to come together and work as one. If we can do this to the glory of God and to the forward March of our Nation, we can do it again. My dear friends on Facebook, my message to you and to Nigeria is that we must build on that unity in 2015. Nothing and no one should divide us. I urge all Nigerians in the New Year to speak and act only in ways that will grow our unity and build bridges amongst our peoples. We have so much to gain by this. Already, our economy, by our collective efforts, is now the largest economy in Africa and the 26th largest in the world. Working together, we can all build our economy to become among the top largest economies in the world. Our goal is to uplift our people from poverty and place them firmly on the ladder of prosperity. We must consolidate our democracy. We must make the 2015 elections a poll amongst brothers and sisters not foes and opposition. We can only do this by conducting ourselves with decorum whether as candidates or followers. I have said again and again that my ambition to serve you is not worth the spilling of any Nigerian blood. No! We must by our conduct project national ideals of peaceful coexistence for we are one people. Region or religion must not divide us. In 2015 we must continue our ongoing efforts in lifting Nigeria up. At this time our ongoing efforts has seen us build infrastructure that facilitates unity and togetherness. The Lagos- Kano route of our railways have been revived as has the Port Harcourt-Enugu route. Work on the coastal railway from Lagos to Calabar will soon commence and the Lagos-Ibadan high speed rail is now at advance stage of commencement. The Abuja-Kaduna Standard Gauge Railway has now reached completion stage. The Lagos-Ibadan road the busiest in West Africa is near completion too. To reduce the distance between North and South, we have ensured that the Loko-Oweto bridge is fast progressing towards completion even as the River Niger is being dredged up to Baro in Niger state. These are some few examples at the infrastructure level. My dear friends on Facebook, we will work to ensure that we become self sufficient in food production. Already our food import bill has dropped from a whopping 1.1 trillion naira to 624billion naira and still falling. We are working hard to improve on our education by focussing on ACCESS and QUALITY. We must ensure that no Nigerian child is denied access to education. I want you my friends on Facebook to join me in specially thanking our men and women in uniform as well as all the security agencies for their hard work and sacrifices. They continue to work hard even under challenging circumstances. We will continue to support our armed forces and security agencies by retooling and equipping them. I am convinced that Nigeria will make greater gains in the area of security in 2015 and we will do it together. I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year. God bless you all and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. ForwardNigeria.

CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR By Dr. Bilal Philips Origins January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gateways. He was commonly depicted in statues, carvings and paintings as a two headed man with one head facing forward and the other head facing backwards. In 46BC Julius Caesar chose January 1 as the first day of the New Year as Janus symbolically represented the door to the New Year . Wild parties and orgies were held on the night before the New Year ’s Day as a re-enactment of the chaos which Roman mythology depicted as preceding the cosmos or the ordered world whose organization was set by the gods. Furthermore, by that time, Janus had become, in practice, the highest god receiving the ritual sacrifices of Roman worshippers before the other gods, including the chief god, Jupiter.[1] Thus, in its essence the celebrations of the New Year on January 1 and New Year’s Eve, the night before, are a part and parcel of pagan religious rituals based on idolatrous beliefs in false gods. Consequently, it is completely Haraam (sinful and forbidden) for Muslims to participate in or adopt any of its related rituals, customs and symbols. If a non-Muslim greets a Muslim, “Happy New Year”, the Muslim is not allowed to respond in a similar manner or say, “Same to you.” Instead, in order not to offend or hurt the feelings of non- Muslim friends or acquaintances, one may say instead, “Happy holiday.” As for celebrating the New Year according to the Islamic calendar which begins with the month of Muharram, this is also not permissible from a number of perspectives. First and foremost, if one does so believing that it is pleasing to Allah to do so, thereby transforming it into an act of worship, it becomes a Bid‘ah or cursed innovation in the religion about which the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Every innovation in religion is misguidance and all misguidance leads to the Hellfire.” If one does so merely as a custom, it is still impermissible as it falls under the prohibition of imitation of pagan customs about which the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Whoever imitates a people becomes one of them.” [1] Pope Gregory 13 who set the modern calendar, the Gregorian calendar, also officially fixed the first day of the year for Christian Europe as January 1 in 1582. |
