Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, on Wednesday, insisted that the ongoing war against Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East is worse than the Nigerian civil war.
President Jonathan bemoaned that whereas the battle line was drawn in the case of the civil war as the enemies were known, the war on terror is complicated because of the fact that the enemies are faceless and within.
However, the president says he is confident that the "faceless" enemies would not achieve their goals, especially because of the prayers of the faithful.
“Whenever I have the opportunity to interface with clergymen and Christians generally, I always thank them for their prayers, because this country is facing challenges that we never expected.
“I always say that apart from those of us from the Eastern region, who witnessed the effects of the civil war, people have not witnessed this kind of insecurity in the country.
“In the North-East, it’s almost like it’s even worse than civil war, because in the civil war, you know if you are here, you know the battle line, either a Biafran or Nigerian. You know where to run to. Right now, you don’t even know where to run to, so, it’s a problem,” he said
