Euroclydon: President Goodluck Jonathan Sunday said he was prepared “to pay any price” to ensure that things work well in the country.

He also said would do everything possible to implement all his ongoing reforms in the critical sectors of the country.

The presidential assurance was contained in the goodwill message he sent to the opening ceremony of their second plenary session of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) at the Mater Dei Cathedral, Umuahia.

Presidential Jonathan’s message, which was delivered by the minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, was full of assurances that everything was on course to pull the nation out of the present malaise.

It was also a vague warning to anti-reform elements as the President insisted that there was no going back on the privatisation of the power sector, adding that “the transformation agenda has reached the point where everybody would be proud that reform has taken place.”

Jonathan, who said he was delighted to have been invited by CBCN to come and “share with them thoughts and vision that guide our nation in the search for development,” said his administration was putting in place superstructures upon which Nigeria would attain greater heights.

He said he was not unmindful of the enormous problems facing the nation, noting that he has been confronting the challenges headlong, citing the youth employment programmes to keep the youths out of crime, the ongoing power sector reforms as well as efforts to tackle the infrastructure deficit across the nation.

Recalling the security challenges facing Nigeria and the rest of world today, Mr. President concluded that “human society today is far from attaining the City of God status as propounded by St Augustine of Hippo.

But he called on the Catholic Bishops to continue in their prayers so that the nation can overcome the critical challenges threatening the peaceful co-existence of citizens, adding that his administration was on its own committed to the building of an egalitarian society.

“This administration will always stand for the truth, peace and justice,” the President said. He quoted some passages from the Holy Bible as he urged Nigerians to learn to love one another and live in harmony in the pluralistic society.

Earlier in his address, the president of CBCN and Catholic
Bishop of Jos Diocese, Most Rev Ignatius Kaigama, called for a lasting solution to the senseless killings of Christians and other innocent citizens in the northern parts of the country, saying that patience was being overstretched.

“The patience of Christians, especially in the North has been tried and tested for too long now. We ask that the reckless attacks on them and other innocent Nigerians be brought to a halt, through the proper use of security intelligence/expertise available to government and security agencies both within and beyond Nigeria,” he said.

He lamented the ease with which people acquire dangerous weapons due largely to the country’s porous borders hence the bomb explosions and gun attacks that have remained unabated.

“The explosive devices have become like toys used at will and local and sophisticated arms escape our sea ports, land borders and find their way into the hands of criminals and hoodlums; it is a cause of very great concern,” the CBCN President said.
According to him, the apparently unchecked flow of arms and ammunition and the attendant killings have made “most Nigerians wonder whether we are on top of the situation as usually claimed” by government and security agencies.

However, Bishop Kaigama assured that the Catholic Bishops and the faithful were committed to a united and peaceful Nigeria despite the blood lettings of Christians and would continue to pray for the men of violence to change their ways and learn to love.

oliidell: At times, I seriously ponder on these lines..."If God asks me to make a wish. A single wish! What would I wish for." Now take a moment to think about this. Irrespective of d diversity of religion in dis world, there is one thing in common- The belief in an Almighty God". So,if He grants me such an opportunity, I alredy hav 100% assurance dat the wish would come true. Presently, my wish list is soo long and it's difficult to make a choice. But let's narrow it down to 2 category of wishes (worldly and unworldly).

So I ask all fun-lovin hustling people like me who still believe in a hereafter; Would you make a wish that would guarantee you material prosperity and then struggle to make heaven or would you make one that would secure your salvation and then continue hustling?


Answers please.....

Chanchit: If my papa return that kyn money, we go fight, xpecially in Abuja, the creddle of stolen money.

mchenry: do not focus on stomach exercise only. you need to do full body workouts to lose that fat. go for a run. sprint as fast as you can for one minute, rest for two minutes, repeat this for 6-8 times.

saintobi1: Firstly thanks to MOD for behaving properly nowadays (i attribute it to the ban-if-you-wish-revolution which is a continuous success). Such threads in the past suffered in the background

nssukka:it was originally called nri-ka i.e nri-nke-ka (greater nri). But a stronger hamlet took over,and its culture and language expanded and it was renamed nsu-ka i.e asusu-nke-ka (greater language).
Bonny - ubani (wealth of ani) was the original name. The early europeans probably asked about the name and when they were told, thought that it sounded like bonny which means 'good'.
Lagos is a portugeese name. Even some locations in the present day portugal goes by that name. The early explorers gave it that name and transcribed it on their maps which the later explorers consulted.
Onitsha - aniocha i.e ani-ocha (bright land? ,white land?)
umuahia - oma ahia . Oma is square, ahia is a noisy bird, an equivalent of sparrows

I thought Lagos was a name derived from L Eko, a manner of speaking by the older generations when they would say something like i am going to, or it happened at Eko. The portuguese, to make life easier for themselves, simply put those together as started taking about Lagos, a variation of Leko....I may be wrong, blame history not moi

later

odumchi: He's referring to having them changed to their Igbo spellings. In the Igbo language, for the most part, things are spelled exactly the way they sound. For example, Owerri would be 'Owere' and Nsukka would be 'Nsuka'.

Ezeagu, I think there's a need for change also, but that would definitely require a large amount of resources.

Here are some more places that need to be changed:

Enugu to 'Enugwu'
Igbanke to 'Igbo-Akiri'
Igbuzor to 'Igbo-Uzọ'
Anambra to 'Ọmambala'
Orlu to 'Ọlu'
Ogwashi Uku to 'Ọgwashi Ukwu'
And possibly Arochukwu to 'Aruchukwu'

AyaSammy: True talk, cos it's not how much but how well.

BeraBera: The Nigerian Police needs to sit up, ordinary armed robbers, they cannot catch. After wrecking all the havock they wrecked, they were still able to escape. Na wa oh. By the way, I heard that some policemen sell/lease guns to armed robbers, is it true?

manosteel: No matter how illegal these Refineries are, i still believe that our Goverment lacked the moral standing to go about destroying these. This is a goverment that claimed that it is cost effective to import fuel than to build and maintain new Refineries, yet the people they call militants, with little or no education, have developed their own technology, and now flooding the creeks with multiple Refineries, built with locally sourced materials, and selling their refined products like kerosene, petrol etc to the local communities at cheaper rate. For me, their efforts need to be encouraged and not to be destroyed.
