MUST READ: PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN's NEW YEAR MESSAGE TO NIGERIA

Dear Compatriots,

 I greet and felicitate with you all as we enter the year 2014 which promises to be a momentous one for our country for several reasons, including the fact that it is also the year of our great nation’s centenary celebrations. I join you all in giving thanks to God Almighty for guiding us and our beloved nation safely through all the challenges of the outgoing year to the beginning of 2014.

 Exactly 100 years ago today, on January 1, 1914, the British Colonial authorities amalgamated what was then the separate Protectorates of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria, giving birth to the single geopolitical entity known as Nigeria.  For us therefore, today is not just the beginning of a new year, but the end of a century of national existence and the beginning of another. It is a moment for sober reflection and for pride in all that is great about Nigeria.

Whatever challenges we may have faced, whatever storms we may have confronted and survived, Nigeria remains a truly blessed country, a country of gifted men and women who continue to distinguish themselves in all spheres of life, a country whose diversity remains a source of strength.  We pay tribute today, as always to our founding fathers and mothers, and all the heroes and heroines whose toil and sweat over the century made this country what it is today.

Happy New Year 2014

May each day of this Year be vibrant and new, bringing along A Relaxed Mind, A Peaceful Soul, A Joyful Spirit, A Healthy Body, A Heart full of Love and many reasons for Celebrations...... These and many more are my prayers for y'all my wonderful readers as I Wish you a Happy New Year 2014.
