President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed shock at the terrorist attack and killing of a British soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in the Woolwich area of London, United Kingdom; and strongly condemns this unfortunate incident.
He conveys his sincere condolences to the British Prime Minister David Cameron and the British people over this senseless and barbaric act, and shares their grief at this moment.President Jonathan notes that a terrorist attack anywhere is an attack on the way of life of all free nations and must be collectively condemned by all persons irrespective of race, ethnicity or religion.
It is in this spirit that the Nigerian government is partnering with the British Government, as well as all other stakeholder sovereigns to stand up to and fight terrorism and extremism in whatever guise or pretense it chooses to present itself.
President Jonathan recognizes that each environment presents its own unique challenges and peculiarities and actions taken by affected nations may differ, yet the resolve to confront and defeat this threat should never be in doubt.
President Jonathan says Nigerians are collectively resolute about the need to protect the freedoms that define our existence and inter-relationships at home and overseas. Our recent past tells us that when we pull together, this common enemy and threat will eventually be defeated.

Abegi cus its a nigerian we will not hear word. White forks r not terrorist but they do worst. I watch crime n investigation a lot. All thes white forks leave us nigerians alone. Cus the guy is 4rm nigerian descent. I love watching all those their crime shows. They r psychos 2.
Hope the president would act as contained in this press release against Boko Haram which is a more serious threat to this country
Took you almost 2 days!! Two fucking days!!! What? Has your camera run out of film? You twat!
Nice to see him supporting the fight against terrorism
Aso Rock, thumbs up! Diplomatically very correct move.
Rubbish......what a useless government. ...what official statement did the president give when aluu4 guys were beaten and burnt to death in port harcourt? One would have expected the president to publicly come out & condemn d act & order a thorough investigation to ensure all parties involved are punished.
the same Gej that will wait for B:H to finish the whole nation before declaring state of emergency....issokay we haf hear u.
this man should leave uk and face naija problem abeg
Nigeria wit a loud fear...
"STILL wATCHING FROM MY OCEAN
U r really really annoying.
Four young boys were beaten and roasted in broad daylight,in aluu,rivers state,our no shoes president never say a word. Fifty mourners killed in benue state,100 policemen,no "official condemnation" was written by Goodluck and Abati!! Keep boot licking and playing to the gallery dear Mr president. We aren't fooled!
Very dignified reaction from Abuja!
that Good of him
No more uk visas for nigrians...abasi mbok
Nigerian's in the United Kingdom should speak out and condemn the beheading of a citizen yesterday in UK. The beheading was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated, his name does not confirm his nationality. This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and held a British passport. Suddenly he is now a Nigerian?......This guy is not a Nigerian. British born Michael 'Mujahid' Adeboloja with an accomplice yesterday beheaded a British Soldier on a street in Woolwich, London.Because he is not Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa and Three Lions, or Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion, or Lawrence Okoye, British Discus Record Holder (68.24m), or Abiodun oyepitan, British Award Photography Winner Mayor Rotimi Reloaded Of Reloaded Photography, British Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist, or Christine Ohuruogu, Beijing Olympic British Gold Medalist, or Eniola Aluko, British Olympic Female Football star, or Temi Fagbenle British Olympic Basketball queen, or several other thousands of British citizens with Nigerian connection who are making the country proud, it is being made to look like Nigeria has "shown itself again" in the action of that British boy who beheaded a soldier yesterday.Nigeria should just be left out of this.Please pass on to educate the ignorant ones.
@ oeubce jobless: who did it take two days/ how r you counting?
Story
If there is a phrase I have gotten used to anytime there is a Terrorist Attack is "President Goodluck Jonathan Condemns the Attack". Actually our able Dr Reuben Abati is always onstand to give a statement stating the above. Anyway I think we as a Nation got to learn from this Terror Attack as per our own Boko Haram.
Jesus Christ is d bus stop. I just can't continue living in this fear i v got Jesus to count on and everyone should do d same.
@befe, Crime show? Uv gt 2 b joking. Very shameful and inhuman act 4rm a 9jirian and its hardly wat we needed lyk she said. Tyns lyks could ignite national war in d past.
Fuck off you fool. president obama only responded to the attack today as well .what do you have to say to that dick head. Linda post my comment.
"President Jonathan condemns terror attack..." What was he gonna do before...endorse it?
Rubbish clean ur own country!

Hes still an oloshi president. Qhen its obodo oinbo matters he can write with sense or rather reuben abati can write with sense but when its our own direct probkem. They are all back to their oloshi ways. Nonsense
God please save our world.
OMG RE U SERIOUZLYY SAYING THAT,HE DID SOMETHING VERY BAD,HE KILLED SOMEONE NOT A DOG,BLACKZ JST LIKE DISGRACING DEMSELVES LIKE HUNGRY DOGZ DAT IT,ENOUGH WITH THE WHITE FOCKZ GRAMMAR
So will there be another state of emergency in woolich? The more we space ourselves from mujahid the better, he is NON-Nigerian, just unfortunate he bears olamide adejobola.
Very correct! Diplomacy
You better mind how you comment about the first citizen of Naija
Nice press release from Aso Rock, Its all force against terror and peoples way of life to freedom of life
My dear, thank u very much oo. I watch those channels too, nd wat the white folks do is more than wat the so called terrorist does.
@ prince jobless, my thoughts exactly!
he is stupid, one man died in britain and millions have died in nigeria and he is there consoling david cameron. how has he consoled those in his country?.. mumu
Good for u b4 his country is mentioned. Waiting
Point of correction! He ain't a Nigerian, he was born in the UK, the murderer is from Britain. He has never been to Nigeria. So you all saying he's a Nigerian, pls pls stop am joor! He his Not a Nigerian abeg.

Funny. He talks as if there's no fire to be put off right under his 'agabda'. Baba, sidon there! If there r letters like this every time terror attacks are made, You'll probably be running a blog by now.
Slow JoJo
Shut up. You're more enslaved than i thought. No wonder you use words unnecessarily
That was a good diplomatic move from Mr President.
#Word!!!
Abeg wentin be this again. I wonder what dem dey teach this muslims for mosque. This guy na Naija guy wey converted to Islam 7 years ago. Wetin now? we go run comot for this earth because of one religion? Why people go dey fight for their god. If this god get am for power, make he fight for himself now. Na so Boko Haram no allow us rest. Now Naija boys go kill a 25 years old British soldier. I tire for this kin religion wey dey say dem be peaceful religion but everywhere wey bad thing happen na dem. God forbid. tufikwa.
Folks not forks......duh
Lol @befe what white forks? Hmmmmn! Lips sealed, this ÈŠ̝̊̅Úª so sad For Nigerians.
why should he send out a statement? of course He will be called a "Briton of Nigerian descent"...He is British full stop! It's like calling Obama, An American with Kenyan origin...This is purposeful, He is not Nigerian, maybe his parents were..But HE is not! Nigerians in the United Kingdom should speak out and condemn the beheading of a citizen yesterday in UK. The beheading was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated, his name does not confirm his nationality. This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and held a British passport. Suddenly he is now a Nigerian?......This guy is not a Nigerian. British born Michael 'Mujahid' Adeboloja with an accomplice yesterday beheaded a British Soldier on a street in Woolwich, London.

Nigeria should just be left out of this
Common respect your elders U̶̲̥̅̊ jobless guy! Who you calling a twat???
Ya Fawking right! You aint done providing security for your own country and for your own people you want to partner with the British Government,BOKO HARAM?KIDNAPPING? Need i say more? Msheeeeeww! Very POLITICAL move,sorry am not impressed...KMT
PRETTY GIRL
All these ppl should shut the fuck up! So because this is a terror attack that is why the guy in question is being refered to in ALL media reports as Nigerian/British
OR British/Nigerian (whatever3-| )
My ppl do u know that 16 out of the 541 British athletes at the 2012 Olympics Games were Nigerians ?
They are as follows:
Phillips Idowu,
James Dasaolu,
Andrew Osagie,
Lawrence Okoye,
Abdul Buhari,
Abiodun Oyepitan,
Anyika Onuora,
Margaret Adeoye,
Christine Ohuruogu,
Marilyn Okoro,
Eniola Aluko,
Temitope Fagbenle,
Anthony Ogoro,
Anthony Joshua,
Peter Bakare
and Dami Bakare.
All represented Britain at the Olympics and WERE NEVER refered to as Nigerian/British.
Nigerians !!!
It is time we reject ALL negative being attached to US as a nation
and take pride in our tradition
and culture.
Let the world know that despite our differences and challenges we are good people with kind hearts
and love and with great respect for the human race.
We have in no small way contributed immensely to the world economy. We are energetic
and industrious and no amount of propaganda by the media can take away our PRIDE.
WE ARE NIGERIANS,
I AM A NIGERIAN & PROUD OF IT
and WE SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE A GENUINE AFRICAN BRANDz
Point of correction, d fact dat the guy bears a yoruba name doesn't make him a nigerian, can u call obama a kenyan? He's first known as an American... The stupid guy is british, was born, breed in d English way hasn't even visited my 9ja b4 and am sure is one of those ignorant fools dat don't know where 9ja is... Is high time our press start painting our country right even if I don't blame d press completely... Jonaa please repair ur own home n stop putting ur country down, I no know wetin concern u wey u dey go write letter to d british wen dem don place all 9ja as terrorist. Mtscheeew, even u aunty Linda u were quick to write dat d guy is 9ja make una no dey wash us like dat na rubbish!
It is really pathetic how we play politics or play to the gallery all the time. The whole press release is just to say - well, terrorist is not only happening in Nigeria, it is everywhere even in the UK. I guess a lazy attitude such as this is responsible for all talk and no action and motion without movement that has become the hallmark of the GEJ administration.
I rest my case for now.
Yea he did the right thing
Really wish our president is as diplomatic in the practical sense as he wrote.
Plz i beg to differ.... dis fella aint Nigeria at all..... he spent all his life their and cuz he has commited a crime he is suddenly a Nigerian. Mr President u are just bin bullied and used.... if we win awards, play games well, run d fastest race, discover things, solve problems and introduce new things dem we are automatically their citizen buh wen tins go haywire we are Nigerians.... for how long will this ignorance go on?
even the stupid newspapers in Nigeria cnt get their facts straight b4 printing shits on their front pages... lets wake up... dis is 21st century and we r on d road towards development.
For goodness sake most you talk, o cos he has a nigerian name, if I can remember he is a born and breed british citizen. Beside did Russians give any presidential statement after d attack on boston. I don't know y we alway have 2 battle for relevance.
But dis muslims dudes are British , born and bread .
Good sense of kind gesture..if only everyone shud stop giving this princejobless the cheap attention he want.
Michael Adebolajo is a Briton and not a Nigerian. Or (Nigeria/British whateva)
If, Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa is a briton,
Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion is a briton,
Abiodun oyepitan, British Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist is a briton,
Eniola Aluko, British Olympic Female Football star, a Briton Etc..
While would a British born/trained Killer suddenly turn into a NIGERIAN...
#I.. Okechukwu KURIO Uzoewulu is a Nigerian, Genuine African brand...are you?
»»Hope Ur day was also Productive?
Smmhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... solve the problem u have at home first u mumu... all the bombings n killings in Nigeria, has any one ever consoled us... U dey form mumu dey console dem!

Our 'stakeholders' and their 'shock' when something happens...

Cos he has a Nigerian name,he is now a Nigerian? Plsssssss,he is British. He was born there,raised there, never been to Nigeria or has any Nigerian values. They should not bring Nigeria into the mix pls. Everything he knws and does, he picked up there. He is British with Nigerian ancestry or descent, SHIKENA.
he has not set a committee to look into the incident dastardly act?
tell our president to stop getting Shock at every bad news, he should react and correct situations aba!
Bukola samuel you think is easy to be a leader,
@ANON 9:40 HAVE SAID IT ALL..GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH
All these people condemning our president,re u guys ok?wat our president did is absolutely right n no one should condemn him.When u ve a straying dog who goes out of ur viscinity to bite a stranger,wat re u expected to do?stand n watch witout saying sorry to d victim?if u don't apologise for d acts performed by ur dog,it therefore means u re i don't care person.Pls some persons seriously need to wash their brain properly to enable them reason like d learned.Watch wat u say please.
Alicia stop tryin 2 hard 2 make urslf relevant on dis blog! No b heaven!!
Anon@11:45pm, it is your father that is stupid and mumu. Idiots like u should be wiped off this country because they are not worth living. I guess your parents who trained u to speak like a fool should be wiped off this earth too. I mean, can't u understand simple thing like 'diplomacy? I bet your parents also caused the problem of Nigeria that warrants u to call the best president in Nigeria, so far, mumu. May u die in your ignorance.
