Jonathan's Message to Nigerians on New Year & New Century Of Amalgamation by LMAyedun(m): 5:43pm On Dec 31, 2013
TEXT OF A NEW YEAR MESSAGE TO THE NATION FROM PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN

Dear Compatriots,

I greet and felicitate with you all as we enter the year 2014 which promises to be a momentous one for our country for several reasons, including the fact that it is also the year of our great nation’s centenary celebrations. I join you all in giving thanks to God Almighty for guiding us and our beloved nation safely through all the challenges of the outgoing year to the beginning of 2014.

Exactly 100 years ago today, on January 1, 1914, the British Colonial authorities amalgamated what was then the separate Protectorates of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria, giving birth to the single geopolitical entity known as Nigeria. For us therefore, today is not just the beginning of a new year, but the end of a century of national existence and the beginning of another. It is a moment for sober reflection and for pride in all that is great about Nigeria.

Whatever challenges we may have faced, whatever storms we may have confronted and survived, Nigeria remains a truly blessed country, a country of gifted men and women who continue to distinguish themselves in all spheres of life, a country whose diversity remains a source of strength. We pay tribute today, as always to our founding fathers and mothers, and all the heroes and heroines whose toil and sweat over the century made this country what it is today.

As I noted, a few days ago, the amalgamation of 1914 was certainly not a mistake but a blessing. As we celebrate 100 years of nationhood, we must resolve to continue to work together as one, united people, to make our country even greater.

I assure you that our administration remains fully committed to the progressive development of our country and the consolidation of peace, unity and democratic governance in our fatherland. Despite several continuing domestic and global challenges, for us in Nigeria, the year 2013 witnessed many positive developments which we will strive to build upon in 2014.

[color=#000099][/color]with all due respect to his excellency, I say thank you sir for the message. Still with all due respect sir, I like to make some appeals:
(1) Put your house in order(PDP).
(2) Don't make more promises but achieve a 95% delivery on previous promises.
(3) Make more friends and cut down on number of enemies as d new year unveils itself.

This is actually what he had mind

I assure you that our administration remains fully committed to the progressive underdevelopment of our country and the consolidation of acrimony, disunity and undemocratic governance in our fatherland. Despite several continuing domestic and global opposition to that, for us in Nigeria, the year 2013 witnessed many Negative developments which we will strive to build upon in 2014.
