I don't believe this is coming from the presidency. This is a conclusion that the federal government was never ready to protect lives and property. Are presidents elected " not to be ready to tackle insurgency?. Is it possible the federal government of Nigeria is no longer confident to tackle the insurgency. Will it ever be more " ready" than it presently is? Where is the ceasefire agreement signed between the federal government and the armed group?
The federal government is no longer handling the insurgency with kid's gloves; it is now very evident it is handling it with fetus' gloves. The presidency has reached the height of lassitude by admitting it's lack of responsibility and readiness to tackle security issues.
Here is an excerpt from informationng below.

Abubakar Shekau-GEJThe Federal Government was totally unprepared for the insurgency that has claimed lives, destroyed both public and private property and left thousands displaced in the northeastern part of the country, the Presidency admitted yesterday.


Speaking at the public forum on the impact of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration on Tuesday in Abuja, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, however, warned that the present administration could not be rated only based on the worsening insurgency in Nigeria.
He said: “Somebody wants us to believe that the only testimony of performance of this administration is insecurity, (but) that’s not true. This government was totally unprepared for the insurgency.
“Nobody planned for insurgency. And yet insurgency is a serious problem on its own contain. America with all their power and resources were in Iraq for up to about five or six years with over 400,000 soldiers put on ground yet see Iraq the way it is today”.
Okupe admitted that the abduction of the Chibok school girls by terrorists was a national misfortune even as he stressed that the ceasefire that was purportedly agreed to by the federal government with Boko Haram was at the instance of the sect.
“Yes a ceasefire was announced and it was at the instance of the insurgents. What the President has demonstrated today is that he said that all options are on the table. So when the insurgents call for talk, how can anybody blame the government for that? If it doesn’t work out, that is not the fault of the government. That is actually the nature of the insurgents. Because they are factionalized, their line of command is not clearly defined.
“So this government’s capability and performance cannot solely be represented on the outcome of the insurgency in Nigeria. There is agriculture, education, infrastructure, health, social development and many other component parts”, he said.
The presidential aide further argued that Nigeria had three tiers of government, hence, it would be unfair to only demand dividends of democracy from the federal government only.
“There are three tiers of government – federal, state and local. The federal government only takes 48.5 per cent of the total revenue for the country. The other 48.5 per cent is taken by the states and all the local governments put together.
“But everybody puts their eyes on only that of the federal government and that is wrong. It is right to put their eyes on the federal government, but it is wrong to put their eyes only on the federal government because the share of the money for development and administration is equal. And out of the federal government’s share, about 15 per cent goes to foreign affairs and military, which the states do not bear at all”, he added.

I read it somewhere.

It is evident now that GEJ is clueless. No amount of deceit will change voters mind. GEJ is going home 2015.

The only thing evident is the curse of Islam on Nigeria. For goodness sake, this is no insurgency - just senseless Islamic terrorism.

Let's try and be factual and stop looking from a political,sentimental and fanatical angle. The present administration is a total failure and we have not recorded any significant change. Our standard of living has not improved a bit.
There is no visionary leader. Every intending leader has an ace up his sleeves and has an ulterior motive and sees himself as a demi-god as soon as he ascends into the " throne" . No single leader has the plight to feel the need to deliver his citizens out of the bondage. He sees his position as a privilege and not a task.

Jonathan is a failure.

More like was never ready for presidency..

Constitution is only favoring him. He never earned his position.

torkaka:




The above has exposed how d.umb this government is, in one line the mo.ron says the insurgents called for talks and in another line he says their line of command is not well defined. My question is; If you knew they are factionalized without a clearly defined line of command, why did you (federal government) go ahead to honour a cease fire knowing fully well you were talking to one of several factions?

It is unbelievable a government official actually said those words!! Just look at how Jonathan and his gang reason, yet fools come here to rant about age and religion!!

Sometimes I want to puke at the sight of these men. They are awfully irritating.

He is a well educated man.

But so far his education is worthless.

Just because TAN GAGGED GEJ and talk for him, they should never made mistake of thinking doing dsame to others.as they 'll be shame

egift:
Jonathan is a failure.

Jonathan was NEVER ready to RULE. He has demonstrated this on countless occasions.

20 local governments out of the 774 local governments we have in Nigeria are in the control of Boko Haram

JonaTAN bring back our country

Translation; Nigeria is unprepared for any foreign invasion. If you cannot defeat insurgents within your borders how will you fight off foreign enemies?
