Nigeria, fastest growing African
country - Jonathan
2013-05-26 23:00:50
In spite of security challenges in the country,
President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday
declared that Nigeria was growing faster than
any country in Africa.
He said the country's foreign policies had
continued to receive global applause, as most
investors coming to Africa preferred Nigeria.
Jonathan spoke in Abuja at the 2013 Democracy
Day Interdenominational Church Service.
In his speech read by Senate President, David
Mark, Jonathan described the declaration of
emergency rule in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno
states as "unfortunate but inevitable."
He said, "No responsible government anywhere
in the world will fold its arms and watch
anarchy reign supreme within its borders. This
government, therefore, will do whatever is
within the ambit of our laws to protect and
defend not only our citizens, but the unity and
cohesion of our country".
The President said he had information that the
security agencies were achieving progress in
efforts to tackle insurgency in the three
affected states. mobile.punchng.com/output.php?link=http://www.punchng.com/news/nigeria-fastest-growing-african-country-jonathan/

Jona the comedian talking again after waking up from his slumber. Declaring Nigeria as the fastest growing economy in Africa when more than 95% of your population don't have 5 hours straight electricity supply per day is laughable.

I think the president needs to reminded that there is a difference between growth and development. What Nigeria is doing is growth: Nigeria is developing but not at the same pace as it is growing.


Snap, I don't even know if that makes sense

Hypocrite. Nigeria is not the fastest growing African country but Lagos is the fastest growing 'maga city'.
