President Jonathan says his name has brought good luck to Nigeria
President Goodluck Jonathan said on
Saturday May 25th that his first name has brought
some good luck to Nigeria. While granting an
interview , the president said:
"Traditional societies attach some values to
names. That is why people select good names
for their children. In the scriptures sometimes,
when God sends you on some special
assignment, He could even direct, ‘change the
name of this child from this to that. But the
name in itself does not make much difference
because even from my village, there is one of
my peers that also answers Goodluck.
Another one that is a little older than me
answers Lucky from my small village and I
didn’t see the good luck and lucky in them.
“In terms of bringing my name to bear in
Nigerian affairs, within this period, we have
our challenges. Of course, you are aware that
we have our security challenges. But in spite
of the security challenges, the country is
moving on. I will say yes, it (his name)
brought some good luck to the country.”
With the emergence of a third terror group, I
don't think so, Mr president.
