President Goodluck Jonathan has given the assurance that the Federal Government is working very hard to overcome Nigeria’s current security challenges.

The president made this known at an interactive session he had in Rio de Janeiro with members of the Nigerian community in Brazil.

(OMG !! They did question him on his decision to attend the summit in Brazil while his country burned)

[size=13pt]

President Jonathan is in Brazil to attend the on-going United Nations Earth Summit on Sustainable Development, tagged Rio+20.
Dr Jonathan stated that the first person he called when he arrived in Brazil was the Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS) in order to be abreast with developments in the troubled Kaduna and Yobe states.

“We have challenges, but they are not insurmountable. We remain fully focused and committed to national development in spite of sponsored lies against this administration” he said.

“We are ready to work together with all of our people to move the country forward. We will work even harder to place concrete realities on the ground that will further prove our sincerity and commitment to all Nigerians,” he pledged.[/size]

The President noted that the earlier individuals and groups, especially opposition politicians stopped playing politics with every decision of government, the better for the country.

“One of the problems we have is that some Nigerians play politics with everything, but we cannot destroy our country because of personal political ambitions” he said.

“We now have a constitutional democracy and no one can stay in office forever. It will therefore be best for our nation if we all support whoever is there for the development of the country instead of trying to pull him down by all means.”

Nothing to lose

Meanwhile the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, to the President Dr. Reuben Abati, has also stated that the nation has nothing to lose with the president’s attendance of the summit in Brazil.

Dr Abati on the side-line of the Rio+20 Summit expressed his displeasure on the criticism that has trailed the president’s departure from the country to PUNCH Newspapers.

“It is as if there is nothing you can do to please our people. It is not that Nigeria is going to lose anything by Mr. President’s presence here rather; the country is going to gain a lot from his presence” he stated.

According to Dr Abati, the president is in Brazil “serving the interest of Nigerians; it is not as if he has abandoned his responsibilities.” “The crisis in Kaduna and Yobe occurred almost on the eve of the President’s departure for this event and commitments have been made.”

The aide also noted that the president’s presence in Brazil for Rio+20 summit at a time violence broke out in Kaduna and Yobe states does not mean the President has abandoned his responsibility, adding that the president met with security chiefs before he left the country and he was confident that security agencies were on top of the situation.

He further explained that the president needed to attend the conference because of its importance to Nigeria and because commitments had already been made on his attendance, adding that his presence at the summit was in the best interest of the country.

[size=13pt]“The conference, Rio+20, is very important and nobody can doubt that. The issues that will be discussed at this conference are also issues that are relevant to Nigeria’s interest. It is also an opportunity for Nigeria to promote its interest in terms of its place in global community” he said.

Dr Abati noted that security agencies are aptly handling the situation, saying that “in any event, it is not as if the government has abandoned the situation at home. Security agencies are there, they are on top of the situation.”

“Before the President left, he met with security chiefs. The business of leadership cannot just stop because there is a crisis there” he added.

He appealed to the opposition not to always play politics with everything, as he claimed that “if the President had refused to come to Rio, the same persons (opposition parties) will turn around and say that there is an important conference attended by world leaders and the Nigerian President stayed away from it.”

Very important conference yet it has been tagged a failure by many environmentalists out there.

This president have guts sha. I can't for my instinct will not allow me to lie in front of the whole world.
The retardeen doesnt even know that an era has come where the world is termed a Global Village. How can you leave your country very black and boiling and you dare tell the world that the country is White that it is just a little stain.

Let me tell you Mr President the outside world is even more abreast with things happening in Nigeria than even yourself.

Facebooks, youtubes, apples, blackberries etc (plus the internet) are very importance weapons today. The Arab Spring is an example.

Beaf!:

This is the other beaf. The one who speaks the truth.

@Post

GEJ should just fix the problem already and stop talking too much. He is the same person who said that by June the boko haram situation will be under control. Today is friday and by next week sartuday, the month of June will be over. Yet, the bombings have become more frequent. He should just stop talking about what he is doing/will do and start acting.

GEJ is the most liverless president that nigeria ever had indeed he is containing d situation GOD PLS SAVE 9JA

Samba B.J @ work

Ehn, King jona, this your record don break finish. We are tired of hearing the same lines. Please we are counting down to end of June (in a few days) when we hope to see the 'el dorado' you promised Nigerians in respect of BH and security in this country.

In the same vein, Boko Haram Sect has also assured Nigerians that the group is working extremely hard to make Nigerian ungovernable. The sect made this know...... Let's see who is working hard!

WHOever is the Real BEAF, i must confess that you have made real impact and there are people out there who may attempt to imitate you. this is a specially endowed gift you have and am not shocked you have some BEAF? wannabees in the making.

When people say our problems are the politicians, I ask which set of Politicians. I am sure by now no idiot will tell us that there is really any difference between PDP, ACN or CPC. They are all Election Riggers in their areas of influence. Their system of producing leaders internally are not democratic but by selection. they all believe in GODFATHERISM. They all play up ethnic trump cards. [thats why ACN wants Mimiko to falll in line]They all collect Egunje irrespective of Party affiliations. Again, which set of politicians? are we talking of_.. NCNC, NPC, AG of YORE?? The first Republic was truncated by similar accusations we have today. What about NPN,UPN , GNPP...it will be stupid to think that politics was played differently. BUHARI came to sweep them off with similar accusations. Or maybe the MILITARY Party of Nigeria that we always clap for to clean up the mess of filthy Politricians, are better...they are even the EVIL GENIUSES that are the institutions of Corruption culture, MISgovernance and the foundational layers of Religious Extremism by FIAT of Military decrees. No opposition is tolerated and this is perhaps the most sinister form of governance.
Before you accuse anybody of being daft...ask yourself if you are better. They all face challenges like you and me...if you dont believe me...ask Honorable Faruk...it is better to be caught stuffing Dollars into your cap, pants and stockings than to die like Kudirat, ken Saro wiwa, dele Giwa and co...
I hear that GEJ is a "retardeen", similar invectives were used to describe Yaradua, Obasanjo, Abdulsalami, Abacha, Shonekan,IBB, BUHARI, shagari,Murtala, GOWON and others in their time. When folks say the the good olde days were better...it is because their is something at fault with their reasoning.


Leaders can only perform according to the light they have and as far as they can see. and what is just stated is more metaphysical than academic.

For me, i will advise that nobody takes his cue from any politician, not even from activists...because they have the same inherent defects..only that they have not been subjected to the PROOF Of verification by holding Political office. In any case Great leadership is a blessing only God can provide for a Nation [/b]and the starting point is to say thank you to [b]Baba God for what we have today and hope it gets better!!!

Literature dr. Stone!plenty literature..!

Abeg make una free Jona joooor.. The northern leaders hav already sworn to make the country ungovernable if he becomes the president, the problem of dis country is the north, the are ‎​Just too obsessed with power, must a northern rule nigeria forever?, the northerns should stop causing confusion in dis country,

x-razzy:

In the same vein, Boko Haram Sect has also assured Nigerians that the group is working extremely hard to make Nigerian ungovernable. The sect made this know...... Let's see who is working hard!

Unwieldy confused literature.

It's going to be a miracle if Nigeria is not bankrupt, disintegrate before 2015.
The gospel according to GEJ said we should be fasting and prayerful, when even pastors and their followers will soon be going to their respective places of worship with weapon.

Kobojunkie, Haba! Kobojunkie! Wetin Jonathan do you? Make una leave that man alone. You guys are unfair to his administration. What's wrong in what he said? He said the truth. His govt has these pecuiar challenge of Boko haram. But it doesn't mean Nigeria is war torn. He has been battling it as much as he can. And out of 36 states, only about 4 are troubled. And the security agencies are ontop of the situation.

Nigeria will never go bankrupt. We are on the part of solidity with the fiscal measures being taken by the Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. Nigeria's foreign reserve has hit 39 billion dollars. Unlike in the past, president Jonathan has stopped the sharing of excess crude revenue by creating the sovereign wealth fund. The fund is designed to save excess revenue from oil for the future. Allowances of Legislators have been slashed from 42 m quarterly to 15 m before the lawmakers singlehandedly jerked it up to 29 m quarterly in the 2012 budget. In a bid to cut areas of leakages in the system, the govt has begun plans to reduce the number of agencies in Nigeria to only 35. God understands that we will face this security challenge at this time and thus such a calm but intelligent man as president. His detractors are out to conflagrate Nigeria. They want him to take rash decisions so that they will hve the much awaited opportunity to scatter Nigeria under his watch. That is why when former dictators that he defeated at the presidential elections hve made all manner of inciting comments, he has kept his cool. Rather the Fg is busy fighting the terrorists and recording successes such as the killing of the mastermind of UN building and force Headquarters Bombings yesterday.

*Breaking News: shake up in Nigeria's security management******National security adviser Gen Owoye azazi sacked*****Minister of defence Haliru Bello Mohamed sacked**** Retired Col Sambo Dasuki is the new National Security Adviser

Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooott uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kindly spare me this brain-dead gabble, abeg!! Na God I take beg you . . . I live in America and if no one can sell me that level of shiot in America, I will not accept it, even from a monkey or agama lizard(not calling you a monkey or a lizard) in far away Nigeria . That is how I feel, take it or leave it!!

I set the bar higher for those I ELECT into Government, and give all that power, and resource to. That is basically what it is.

GEJ is a man who always mean the opposite of what he says.in this case june is the beginning of more dangerous calamities in nija by govt boko haram who connived and withdrew the jtf the very morning the kaduna/zaria church bombing took place.
