He said in a statement that there shall be no sacred cows. All, no matter how remotely connected to these incidents, must be brought to justice.

Basking in their nefarious success in Jos on Christmas eve, they have once again knifed at the heartstrings of a nation decked out in gaiety, celebrating new year’s eve. This is extreme evil. It is wicked. It defies all that we that we believe in, and stand for as a nation.
The president, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, condemns this attack, and commands the nation’s security services to rise to the occasion and arrest this new and dangerous challenge to our peace and stability.
There shall be no sacred cows. All, no matter how remotely connected to these incidents, must be brought to justice.
They must be made to pay. No one, and we repeat, no one, can make this nation ungovernable.

we need CCTV cameras on those hot spots. jonathan o jonathan this is a challenge to you. buy more equipments for the police. make use of the thumb prints you collect evryday. investigate all cases. look into the face of some governors and talk to them. remember you are the commander in chief, you may reasonably or softly behave like a military guy if that is what the situation needs. sorry to say this; during abacha time the security was better. if that is what it takes then what are you waiting for? if its the political godfathers am telling you to recreate the 'bar beach shows' and everywhere will be quiet. no body challenges you when you start executing the law - treasonable felony.

I am afraid Nigerian as a nation should be divided,this will be the only solution to peace in the country.Though The politicians are only concern about power money and petroleum.We citizens have to stand up,do not be afraid,that without oil you will be suffering.NO NO! There are countries in europe who does not have oil,and they are still doing well.Spain Finland and many nations do not know how oil looks like.The fact is that Nigeria will be divided,if not now maybe later.Cos Iran has exported weapons into the country and terrorrism in Nigeria is just beginning many other groups are likely to come up soon.
