Despite Challenges, Nigeria’s Future Is Bright – Jonathan by mustymatic(op): 4:28pm On Jan 04, 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday assured
Nigerians that despite the challenges confronting
the nation at the moment, Nigeria will get to the
Promised Land.
The President, who participated in the first
Sunday of the year service at St. Stephens
Anglican Church, Otuoke, Bayelsa State,
acknowledged the huge potentials in all parts of
the nation.
In his brief remark, President Jonathan said his
administration would continue to tap into the
potentials in order to move the nation forward.
He expressed optimism that the nation’s future
was bright, despite the bumps and challenges.
He used the opportunity to thank the church and
Christians for praying for the nation,
acknowledging that “this period is a challenging
one for the whole world”.
“I thank you for your prayers, especially at this
period. This is a period the world is passing
through challenges.
“We have a lot of potentials and I see a bright
future for the country. Despite the challenges and
bumps, Nigeria will move on and get to the
promised land,” he said.
In his earlier sermon, the officiating pastor, who
is the Bishop of Ogbia Diocese, Reverend James
Aye Oruwori, urged the congregation to avoid
committing sin and strike a strong covenant
relationship with God to be able to fight all their
battles. He used the example of David and
Goliath in the Bible, saying that David’s strong
covenant with God gave him victory.
He urged Nigerians to remain calm ahead of the
upcoming general elections, pointing out that God
had already taking a decision on the outcome. He
said no one could alter the decision.
“God has written his decision on the next election,
no one can change it. He wrote the decision long
ago. Election is the biggest thing we are
expecting this year, we must stop exhibiting fear.
We should be calm and abide by God’s decision,”
he noted.
Present at the service were Governor of the State,
Henry Seriake Dickson, his wife, Dr Rachael
Dickson, deputy governor, John Jonah, chaplain of
Villa Chapel, Reverend Obiona Owuzurumba and
other Presidential aides.

When a PhD holder has makes our economy in ruins
When a PhD holder says stealing is not corruption
When a PhD holder tells us he will step up fight against corruption when its almost time for him to go. Where as he being all this 6 years he has being in government
When a PhD holder encourages stealing of public funds because its not corruption

Some pple think that the promise land is far
So they re expecting a new messiah to lead us there

They have a prophet who live with them,
But the two eyes and nose they have could not smell the prophet with them

What they re looking for in katsina is in sokoto wearing corporate in bayelsa

The dog yu know is better than the dog that doesn't bark cos when he barks,
He will surely bite and hurt you....

Jonathan is not the messenger of darkness neither is buhari a messiah of light..

Nigerians re too sentiment,tribalist and religious hence some re making themselves a fool

Only a foolish dog barks at the flying birds..
Jonathan is the key while buhari is the padlock


Don't waste your votes thinking of a new messiah

Your messiah is with you and he lives with us

GEJ till GOD KNOWS when

Buhari is an illiterate who lacks basic economic sense

If GEJ is scored 40% , Buhari will score 0%


40% is better than 0%

Buhari's interview with Channelstv showed his level of knowledge and seriously, I wasn't expecting much from him judging by how Late Idiagbon fared under him and for Jonathan,he hasn't done much,the reason I am looking beyond this election.I hate to admit it but the change we desire MIGHT not come so soon.

Until regions are allowed to control their resources and capital punishment meted to corrupt officials,the desired change we clamour is simply a mirage.
