President Jonathan Vows to Stop Handling Terrorism with ‘Kid Gloves’

President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed to intensify efforts to exterminate terrorist group, Boko Haram. The President announced this mission on Thursday, at the Conference Hall of the Namibia State House in Windhoek, during the course of his two-day bilateral visit.

Speaking with Namibian President, Hifikepunye Pohamba, President Jonathan said that his administration had initially handled Nigeria’s terrorism challenge with ‘kid gloves.’ He declared that henceforth, his administration will tackle terrorism more aggressively.

The President also vowed to do his best to make sure that economic growth in the North-East is not curtailed due to terrorism:

“With the terror attacks in that part of the country, the rest of the country feels it, because Nigerians live everywhere”, he said.

“In these other parts, there is always the fear that if you do not tackle it, it will infiltrate in these other parts. We will work together to ensure that terror attack is stamped out globally and in Nigeria; we are committed.”

Chris Okotie Writes about the NIS Recruitment Stampede

Pastor Chris Okotie of Household of God International Ministries posted this an article on his official Facebook page on the tragic stampede at the Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment. Read; The big news this week was the inauguration of the National Conference, but the deaths of more than 16 young applicants who died in Abuja and other venues, during the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS recruitment exercise, overshadowed it. This tragedy mirrors the desperate situation of Nigeria. One only hopes that this unfortunate loss of lives, coupled with the incessant Boko Haram killings and other youth-based violence, would serve as a wake-up call to the summiteers, that this country needs a new governance paradigm. If the conference cannot produce that, then the over N7 billion invested in it would amount to another colossal waste of our scarce national resources.
