                          America commemorated the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks today sunday with emotional services of remembrance in New York,Washington and Pennsylvania to honor those who perished in the world's deadliest terror strikes.On September 11,2001,19 Al-Qaeda operatives crashed four passenger jets into the Twin Towers in Manhattan,the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville,Pennsylvania,killing nearly 3,000 people and changing the world forever.President Barack Obama said no words or deeds could ever truly erase the pain of loss,but urged Americans to stand true to the nation's ideals and not allow group like Al-Qaeda and IS to divide the country.''It is so important today that we reaffirm our character as a nation.Our diversity,our patchwork heritage,is not a weakness.It is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths''.-he told a remembrance service at the Pentagon.More photos below.

                          I sincerely rejoice with all Nigerians especially the Muslim faithful on yet another Eid-el-Kabir,which is both a period of sacrifice and obedience to divine guidance and a time to share our resources with our neighbours no matter how little.It is also a call on all of us to love one another,eschew all forms of violence,adhere strictly to the noble tenets of Islam and peaceful coexistence.We must not relent in being our brothers keeper and playing our part to achieve the New Nigeria of our dreams Truly,times are tough,but we are a tough people too.Therefore,I have no doubt that we shall overcome our present economic setback sooner than anticipated,if we all commit to the ideas of nation building.I also enjoin everyone of us to contribute in strengthening the bond of unity and oneness that exists among us.This,I believe,will spur us to avoid negative tendencies that could derail our efforts at ensuring faster economic revival and socio-political stability.
