 Goodluck Jonathan Laments Rising Insecurity and Moral Decline in Nigeria, Says Violence Has Become Normalised


Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed concern over the growing insecurity and moral decline in the country, stating that many Nigerians have become accustomed to violence and killings.


Speaking during an event held at St James Anglican Church on Saturday, May 16, Jonathan lamented that the nation appears to be gradually losing its sense of humanity and moral values.


“When we look around today, particularly at the challenges confronting our country, it is easy to become discouraged. Violence, insecurity, moral decline, and the loss of human values have become deeply troubling realities. What is even more painful is how society sometimes appears to normalise these tragedies as though they are ordinary occurrences. In times past, such incidents would shake the conscience of the nation.


Today, people are k!lled, communities are destroyed, and life seems to continue as though nothing has happened. This ought not to be so. It is a reminder that society desperately needs moral direction, spiritual guidance, and a restoration of values.”


The former president also warned about the growing influence of negative values being spread through technology and modern information systems, noting that harmful behaviours are increasingly being celebrated in society.


“The influence of modern technology and information systems, though beneficial in many ways, has also contributed to the spread of negative values where wrong is sometimes celebrated more than good. This is not the future we should desire for our children and generations yet unborn.” he said.
