President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday in Abuja described the bombings in the county as a burden Nigerians must live with until it fizzles out.

Jonathan made the remark when he received in audience a delegation of the Christian Community in FCT led by FCT Minister Bala Mohammed.

Jonathan said there was no justification for the crime and called on Nigerians to continue to pray for peace in the country.

The president was reacting to the bomb blast that occurred in the early hours of Sunday in Madalla, in Niger, shortly after the end of a church service.

“We have challenges as a nation; even this morning, a very ugly incident happened in a Catholic Church. We are yet to get the number of deaths in the incident.

“The issue of bombing is one of the burdens we must live with. It will not last forever; I believe that it will surely be over,’’ he said.

Condoling with the families of those who lost their lives in the incident, Jonathan said that there was no reason for such an act to be carried out on a Christmas day.

lmao, Jonathan is a comedian!!! May GOD help that Cameroon or Niger or Republic of Benin do not get ambitious in this regime and declare war against our country, it will truly be over.

definitely did not choose his words carefuly!!!!

How does a President encourage people to live with sucide bombings?

He should fire his speech writers, all of them.

Those choice of words were horrible.

It does nothing to soothe agitated nigerians and it certainly gives the Boko Haram peeps more spring in their steps.

Until it fizzles out? Haba Mr President!!!!!

no doubt,even if a nation like benin republic wages war against us then we are finished.

Omgggg dis is wot we get from a zoo-lander , dis guy suppose win zoo vigilante instead of presidential elections mstewwwww  

hmm

well,
lets watch and pray till it fizzles out!!!!

Is this what the president has to say?

Brethren we are in trouble!

To say am disappointed in Mr President at this time is an understatement.

what a refreshing breeze of fresh air

He should fire his speech writers, all of them.

No, we should fire the President!  if the speechwriters were drunk, was he, the president, blind?  Doesn't Jonathan have phd?  Ms Kokolette could have delivered a more sensible response, though we may have to wade our way through the bullets.  

WTF.
Now I am totally convinced that GEJ has finally lost it.
This dude's head needs to be examined

If I was the president I will handle this situation better, I will go and see the top notch northern and islam leaders personally in their cave we'll have regular meetings. They are evil and dumb obviously but they will be made to understand that this act is evil and barbaric. I dont see any form of communication between any parties Jonathan goodluck as his name implies meant Good luck Nigeria with your dommed nation. Dear jesus save us!

Well although this is not the time for me to say to Gullible Nigerians who voted for him that 'I TOLD YOU SO', regardless this Jona guy keeps registring it in the conciousness of Nigerians that we made a sucidal mistake by voting for him, our house is definately on fire, i dont even know how to describe how i feel about Naija at the moment, you need to see how naija is now been percieved abroad here, Brethren we are truely  in Trouble!!!

I think it is time for oga Jona to fizzle out of the presidency

Is this man crazy?
I've just read about how families were annihilated, and how dying people with mortal wounds were begging their priest to bless them. This man is a terrible leader.

. . . . . .and I tot the late Yar'adua was clueless.
GEJ is worse.

we all thought he was d MAN but we are seeing different things

Idowuogbo:

^i dey tell u we don jam nonsense , am actually pissssed offf blawdddy GOAT!!!

Dont mind her. I've taken care of that gal, she will not be posting here again

Ku odun keresimesi, oko mi ololufe mi jare.

Not sure why am disappointed!

never considered this man brilliant enough to run an LGA let alone Nigeria!

Now  I  know  dat  presidency  is  not  by  going  2  sch  or  having  a  Phd .Jonathan  has  failed  d  country, If  dis  happen  in  the  developed  world  they  will  
call  for  his  resignation  , I  know  dat  the  English  press  will  knw  how  2  paint  this  statement  in  which  he(Mr  president )will  resign  with  no  one  telling  him .

Please someone tell me those were not his exact words but just an orchestrated plot by the media to tar the president with the paint of ridicule & mockery.I strongly doubt those were his exact words,otherwise we are finished

These words are not inspiring.

I've just read about how families were annihilated, and how dying people with mortal wounds were begging their priest to bless them.

hmm, very sad and painful to visualize. May blessings and peace comfort their journey!

Why are we acting surprised? This is not the first time that Jonathan will make stupid statements during bombing crisis. Shey he has said before that terrorism is everywhere and this is Nigeria's turn, lets add his latest statement to the pile of insensitive remarks that he has made.

What makes me sad is that people will sit down and defend a person like this, a man who heads a government who doesnt care about what the common man is going through. Is it because boko haram does not have easy access to him and his cronies that he shows no respect for those who have lost their lives, family members and such to the bombings? Lets us stop celebrating mediocrity in our leaders. Jonathan is not a good leader for Nigeria.

My condolence to those who have lost loved ones.

Wow!
