4 Things To Learn From The Rise And fall Of Goodluck Jonathan

EDITOR’S NOTE: President Goodluck Jonathan had a bit of a run before he became president. First he was deputy governor and then he was governor.

 

Then he became vice president and soon he became president. All these happened dramatically within a short time. We’d never seen someone rise so suddenly in this country.

Jonathan’s rise has ended and it’s time for him to go home.

XENOPHOBIC ATTACK: NANS Threatens S’African Investments, Citizens

Amid the xenophobic attacks in South Africa directed at foreigners, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the South African government within which it should stop the attacks on Nigerians in its country or risk attack on its investments back here in Nigeria.

 

In a statement released on Sunday in Abuja, the students’ body threatened to wreak havoc on South African businesses in Nigeria and make life difficult for South Africans in the country if the attacks on Nigerians in their country continue, Punch reports.

 

This was revealed by the Public Relations Officer of NANS, Mr. Ezekiel Nwankwo, who condemned the loss of lives and properties in the attacks.

 

Nwankwo’s statement read, “It is with sense of brotherhood that we are mandating the South African government to ensure an urgent solution to bring to an end this mysterious killing of our own citizens within the next seven days or will leave us with no alternative than to go against all the South African investments in our noble country, Nigeria.

“We will not stop at this but furthermore make all South African citizens uncomfortable in our country.”
