– The spectre of terrorism may have come tostay
permanently in Nigeria, President
Goodluck Jonathan said yesterday.
Speaking on the security challenges in
some parts of the country, the president
said cited countries like Pakistan, Syria
and South Sudan and pointed out that
Nigerians have a lot to thank God for
even though the problems are not yet
over.
Jonathan made the call while delivering
his remarks at the Cathedral Church of
the Advent, in Life Camp, Abuja, during
this year’s Christmas service.
He called on stakeholders to work hard
to keep the country at peace, saying
there is no African country that would
be able to accommodate Nigerian
refugees in case of any major uprising.
He said: “So, I urge you to continue to
pray.
“I also thank the religious leaders of this
country. They have been praying and I
believe God has been hearing our
prayers. We will do our best within the
period that God has asked us to occupy
the positions we are occupying.”
He added: “The Primate (of the church)
mentioned a number of issues that deal
with nations which have crises. For
those who know about terrorism,
countries that are infested with terror
will hardly get out of it.
“If you look at Pakistan, we even go
there to train our soldiers, in some parts
of Pakistan as we are even talking now,
there appears to be no government. So,
this country could have been worse.
“Look at the incidences in Abuja; even
the police headquarters was bombed.
The UN building right here in the seat of
government was bombed. Maybe the
next target would have been State House.
“So, we have to thank God that we have
been able to bring it to a reasonable
level, though we are far from getting
through. There are a lot of challenges but
we have to thank God.
“The Primate said if it were to be like
Syria.
“Look at South Sudan, too. They were
part of Sudan and they felt that they
were being dominated. They have
resources, there is oil in parts of South
Sudan. They carried arms against the
state. Finally the whole world, through
the UN, liberated them.
“In fact, within this week, we will be
going for a Security Council meeting on
South Sudan under the African Union.
My envoy just came back on Sunday
from where he had a conversation with
them. How do we stop this madness?
“So, we have to thank God. Even though
we still have these security challenges in
our country, at least, we are reasonably
better.
“In terms of Nigeria, if we have crises.
The Primate was mentioning whether
Ghana or Sierra Leone can accommodate
us?
“Even now, Nigerians in these countries,
the people who own the country, are not
even comfortable with the number.
From Cameroon to Senegal, Nigerians
are everywhere. If not for political and
diplomatic reasons, they would have
even asked some of them to go.
“Then, assuming we have crises, what
would be your state, where will you go.
Is it the Atlantic Ocean?”
Jonathan also called on religious leaders
to continue to pray for the country in
order to save it from the activities of
politicians who do what they ought not
to have done or write letters that are not
expected from them.
Apparently referring to former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, who wrote an 18-
page letter accusing him of trying to
destroy the country, he called for
prayers against politicians “who think
the country belongs to them.”
Those who attended the church service
included the First Lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan; the president’s mother,
Madam Eunice Jonathan; ministers and
other top government officials.

jerseyboy: Terrorism is here because the 'religion' of peace is here. No nation with a sizable population of Muslims can live in peace. Violence is in the DNA of Islam. I wish I was wrong on this one but this is sadly true.

Op, you're very stupid for using meaningless topics to draw attention. Does your topic go with your writeup?

Rubbish! I doubt if he said that.

Having once said terrorists are our brothers and sisters..we cant just send the army to wipe them off....

I may want to bliv this

op - YOU ARE MAD. You are one of the eeediots who take the words of the President and twist it to your own stoopid advantage. Monkey.

This nonsensical person who started this thread should be shot for mis information. You will do anything possible to paint the President in bad light, including saying what he never said.

oluwamonkey or whatever your name is, where did GEJ make this statement you are quoting here? Chei, hate is a disease.

This op is an incurable lier.
