Nigeria can only attain greatness through personal sacrifice – Jonathan



The immediate past President, goodluck Jonathan, has said Nigeria can only become great through personal sacrifice and selflessness.

In his sallah message to Muslim faithful, Jonathan advised Nigerians to put the love of the country ahead of personal interest.

Jonathan who took to his twitter handle wrote: “Let us imbibe Ibrahim’s ideals and put Nigeria first in all we do. I salute the Muslim Ummah this Sallah. Happy Eid-El-Kabir.

“On Eid-El-Kabir, we honour Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son. This must teach us that we must all sacrifice for Nigeria’s greatness.”

In fact, certain exercises have been shown, in some studies anyway, to work the abdominal muscles harder than sit-ups. These abdominal exercises not only work your stomach muscles but they increase the st...
