said in Port Harcourt that the Nigerian nation "is a divine
project''.
Chibuike said that the centenary celebration by President
Jonathan would engender a renewed hope among the citizens
for a united country.
"I have never seen such a leader with a sense of judgment and
love for his people like President Goodluck Jonathan, very
committed to the unity of Nigeria.
"Some people may think Jonathan's hosting of the world to
mark Nigeria's 100 years is by chance, no, it is destiny,'' he
said.
Another person, Mr Napoleon Dike, a trader described the
centenary celebration as a sign for future restoration of lost
glories.

people may think; my gratitude goes to Mr President for
emphasising more on the things that unite us.

celebration was a roadmap toward economic and cultural
