Jonathan explained that he honoured the invitation to the event out of his respect for the host, Mr. Joe-Kyari Gadzama , and the rule of law.
The former president noted that in the case of Nigeria, the complications associated with the marginalisation of minority groups and tribes were identified decades ago and that efforts were made across generations to solve the problems. He described the setting up of the Willinks Commission by the colonial government as one of such efforts.
Jonathan expressed sadness that although the Federal Character Commission was established as part of efforts to address the issue of marginalisation, it was yet to fully achieve its set objective. He said, “The Federal Character Commission over many decades may have been doing its best to give everyone fair representation and a fair sense of belonging, but there are still many who feel that this agency of government has not fully addressed the challenges of accommodating minorities.”
True talk
East has done so, more than any tribe :just that east has been embattled, and that alone has been a big challange to their public show of unity. No region or ethnic group can survive the ordeal the east is going through, that will come out this strong.
There is no diversity in SW . Religion can't be said to be a diversity cos is a choice. Language and culture is diversity. So Jonathan you are wrong
... that's why we are leaving liejiriya
Exactly, this what's going on in my compound, one of my neighbour,father is a xtian while mum is a muslim and 4 childrens, their kids choose the religion they want, they all have xtian name and Muslim name and they are living in peace
Well that's because they have the most similarities across the ethnic groups.
Watin concern Yorubas. Muslim will marry a Christian and everyone will still sit and eat Amala owanbe on a Saturday. Stress free life!
MURIC AKINTOLA is a terrorist his calls will be unveil to Nigerians soonest he will be removed as terrorist lecturer in LASU.
The truth sir, the importance of balanced education. That's what they're enjoying in South West.
No lie here
GEJ no know himself
There's just something about the Yoruba culture, very progressive and inclusive
I totally disagree. Then let all look at this in this Angle. If the Entire SW has Oil the SS has...do you think they will allow the Fulani' control them like what's happening in the SS. It would av being a tear zone
I'm beginning to count my teeth with my tongue regarding this man called GoodluckJonathan. Can he explain further on this claim of his?
Nothing is truer.
I swear 😂
GEJ has been doing some deep study and thinking lately, good! The SW and, perhaps, Edo State have been accepting. Others have been very selfish and backward thinking, having the most kidnapping, demonism and killings.
He is right to an extent the south-west is highly religiously tolerant,their religious diversity of Islam/Christianity is well managed,but south-east region is nt religiously diversified they re dominantly over 98% Xtian,so he cant conclude about an untasted water or generalize
Very True 👍
That is true. Most families in south west have both Christian and Muslim.. They don't have problem with that except this MURIC of a man trying to cause division
The onky tribe that does not put one religion above the other. And can accommodate anyone as long as you are peaceful and ready to live according to there rules and regulations.. From OYO to Lagos to. Èkìtì and Ondo. Yoruba exhibit the ọmọlúwàbí réré
So let's split Nigeria into many different nations so that Biafran can have its own independence
I disagree sir, they are the only region that find it difficult traveling/residing in other parts of Nigeria.
Because we’re not idiots
Open Lie
Stop saying all these sweet words, yes what u said abt SW is true. But you failed us as a leader and this calamity that has befall this contraption is caused by u whether one likes it or not.
I don't agree with Jonathan much, but this particular one I agree. South west is a blue print of what Nigeria could if oga dem at the top gree!
There is little no diversity in SW, language&culture
Now you are talking
No scam us,we don hear..so what next?
The only zone you'll see christians, muslim, trad and non-believer in one family. Religion tolerance is top notch.
