Read The Things President Jonathan, Hear's that Makes HimI Sorry for Nigeria –

President Goodluck Jonathan on
Sunday said that terrorism and
kidnapping were still major national
challenges because Nigerians had not
united against them as they did against
the Ebola Virus.
Jonathan made the statement at an
inter-denominational church service at
the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja,
to mark the country's 54th
Independence Anniversary coming up
on Wednesday:
"Take the case of Ebola for
example; this is a good example
all Nigerians must learn
from. When Patrick Sawyer
brought Ebola to Nigeria, it was in
Lagos that this incidence
happened and in terms of politics,
Lagos is an opposition party state
but the central government is the
ruling party.
"From Lagos Ebola moved to
Rivers State, also opposition party
state.
"But because all Nigerians fought
Ebola irrespective of political
persuasion, irrespective of religion,
irrespective of ethnicity, as
individuals we defeated the
disease."

The president frowned at inflammatory
utterances by politicians, saying:
"We will not require people to come
from heaven or other countries to
solve our problems. What we require
from our brothers and sisters is to
encourage our military because it is
not easy.



"When people are sleeping in their
houses at night, they are busy fighting.
Bullets are not badminton rackets or
something. When I listen to some
statements made by some people who
call themselves leaders, I feel sad for
the country.
"We must believe that we do not have
any other country outside of Nigeria."
