Jonathan seeks urgent UN reforms against insecurity

        President Jonathan & the Nigerian Delegation at the 69th session of the UNGA in New York
President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday maintained that pressing challenges to global peace and security have made it imperative that urgent action be taken on the reformation of United Nations Security Council.
He made the call while delivering Nigeria’s annual statement to the United Nations General Assembly, in New York, United States of America.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, President Jonathan also called for an urgent review of United Nations peacekeeping operations across the world.

He sad: “Mr. President, the failure of unanimity of action by the Security Council over pressing challenges to global peace and security, in Syria, Iraq, the conflict in Ukraine, and the renewed aggression between Israel and Palestine, have strengthened the case for the reform of the Security Council.”

“Today’s challenges can only be resolved by a Security Council whose working methods engender transparency, inclusivity, and common ownership through equitable representation of all regions in the decision making process of the Council.”

         Staying warm: Rihanna was snug in her coatWatch your step! The star expertly navigated the bustling Big Apple streets
Rihanna appeared to be of two minds on Tuesday. The 26-year-old sported a thigh-skimming LBD while also wearing a large and fluffy trenchcoat for a nocturnal outing in New York City.
Adding another layer of sartorial intrigue was a pair of shiny New Balance trainers strapped to the Bajan beauty's feet for the evening walk.

Even more disconcerting was the Stay singer's choice to wear dark sunglasses out in the nighttime streets.
Pinning her dark locks into a messy bun, Rihanna looked to be in a chipper mood as she crossed a busy Big Apple intersection.

And her good vibes may be the lasting effect of a recent trip to a more tropical climate the star recently returned from. See more pics after the cut......
