Jonathan talks tough...Bans congratulatory adverts, solidarity visits
Acting President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday asked Nigerians to stop placing congratulatory adverts in the media over his assumption of office.
The directive was contained in a State House statement issued by Mr Ima Niboro, Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the Acting President.
``The Acting President has similarly placed a ban on solidarity visits.
He said that the nation was at “a critical juncture where we must begin to focus on solutions to the daunting challenges that confront us,’’ the statement said.
It described as invaluable, the wise counsel and suggestions of Nigerians from all walks of life on how to move the nation forward.
``Dr Jonathan restated the commitment of the administration to secure Nigeria's path to greatness and guarantee our place among the great nations of the world in the shortest possible time,'' it added.

‘Indiscipline bane of Nigerian league’
Mr. Cyril Ntomchukwu, former chairman, Anambra State Referees Council, says indiscipline is the bane of Nigerian league, which is affecting its growth.
``The indiscipline is both on the part of the clubs and the crop of players we have; as well as total collapse of departmentalisation which football is founded on,’’ he said.
Ntomchukwu gave this assessment on Sunday at Chuba Ikpeazu Memorial Stadium, Onitsha after a match between Anambra United FC Onitsha, and Rising Star FC, Akure which ended in 1 – 1 draw.
``With the way things are going both in NFF and NPL I do not like watching Nigerian league matches.
