But not so in Nigeria, particularly in the Goodluck Jonathan administration. As days become weeks and weeks turn to months, Olufamous.com observed that it is becoming evidently clear that this government does not really have what it takes to guarantee the security of lives and property of Nigerians.
While violence spread to parts of Kaduna State on Monday and fresh killings and bombings reported in Damaturu, Yobe State, President Jonathan is leaving Nigeria for Brazil on Tuesday.
Jonathan is going to the Brazilian commercial capital city, Rio de Janeiro, to take part in this year’s United Nations’ Earth Summit. He will also attend a reception hosted by the Brazilian President for Heads of Government at the summit.
Mr. President is expected to travel with his wife, Patience; Governors Ibrahim Shema and Seriake Dickson of Katsina and Bayelsa states respectively. Others on the President’s entourage are the Ministers of Environment, Mrs Hadiza Ibrahim Mailafiya; Water Resources, Mrs Sarah Ohekpe; Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga; and Senator Benedict Ayade.
As Nigeria's Commander in Chief jets out to the South American country, Boko Haram is having a field day in Yobe and Kaduna states, with the death toll in both states said to be on the increase.
Officials of the Red Cross said 140 victims of the attacks had been taken to hospitals for treatment. Some of the hospitals where the victims are being treated are the Ahmadu Bello Teaching Hospital, Shika; Barau Dikko Hospital, Kaduna; St. Luke’s Hospital, Wusasa; and St. Gerard’s Catholic Hospital, Kakuri.

Nigerians should know by now that they are on their own in this Boko Haram killings. Each time Mr President said he's on top of the situation more Nigerians die. That is Nigeria for you!

Olorun gba wa o...
ReplyDeleteBoko haram keeps wasting innocent lives and that's why Jonathan isn't bothered! They should pls direct their bombs to the appropriate quarters - ( the government) and see if nothing will be done within 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteIf GEJ truly travels in d midst of the killing of his fellow Christians then I no longer hav confidence in his leadership. Harrison
ReplyDeleteTHIS COUNTRY IS HEADING FOR CIVIL WAR AND JONATHAN IS TRAVELLING OUT? NO I DON'T BELIEVE HE'S DOING SUCH. I CAN'T THINK IMAGINE HIM DO SUCH.
ReplyDeleteComrade Chris
A heartless, actionless and commandless president. I pray he will not finish us be4 2015.
ReplyDeletePls my advice to boko haram, is to bomb all the intl airport in Nigeria so that those ole in government will not fly out
ReplyDeleteI don't expect anything from that one. Abeg Olu furnish us with what Tambuwal said cos if he actualy spoke about the reprisal and not the bombings, then he is also a boko haram member like most of this northeners that are not saying anything. If so he should leave our legislature because we will get all of them whereever they may be.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have leaders but rulers, GEJ is a one chance president . We entered his one chance Bus where it will land is in God's hand
ReplyDeleteWHAT WE BELIEVED IS THIS BOMBING IS NO RELIGOUS, IT IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. BECOUSE, THERE IS NO VERSE IN THE QUR‘AN THAT SUPPORT KILLING OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND NONE-COMBATANT PEOPLE, EVEN IN WARFARE. IT IS STATED CLEARLY IN THE HOLY PROPHET -PBUH- (FIRST EVER) CONSTITUTION. SO THIS (GEJ) GOVERNMENT IS JUST MISLEADING NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS, UUNDER THE PRETEXT OF BH)THAT ISLAM IS ASKING YOU TO CONVERT OR DIE. THE QUR‘AN SAYS “ NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION“.
ReplyDeleteT.J.
Go and sit down
DeleteHissssss, Lies
Deletehmmmn,this confirms that BH has to do with our prsnt GOVERNMENT set up.if nt,why is HE,GEJ trvlng out od d country despite this terror dev.on ground (d Kaduna&yobe incdnts).
ReplyDeleteI urge ol NIGERIAN to reason b4 tkng actions.
The Northern elders that promised to unleash hell should Jonathan win the election are responsible. It's a pity that we are not telling ourselves the truth, which is the North have no respect for Mr. president. Boko Haram is a Northern problem, it is expected that the good people of south should evacate the region. Let's see where this madness will take them.
ReplyDeleteIs a pity that our president travel out of this country despite the killing. If you are southern christians or muslims prepare yourself properly very soon should defend our people here at home by any which way. Please saveguard the children and their mothers. Is high time we take law into our hands. Enough is enough.
