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. GEJ

Few hours into new year all you can do is to allow negative words to emanate from your mouth.

Must you APC guys preach negativity?

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.
