Kim Jong Il Praised by Nigerian Newspaper
Pyongyang, May 31 (KCNA) -- Nigerian newspaper Nigerian Observer on May 25 carried an article titled "Kim Jong Il, defender of the world peace and leader of the people" on the occasion of the 54th anniversary of the start of his work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The article said:

One of HE Kim Jong Il's feats for the cause of global independence is that he frustrated the moves of the imperialist allied forces and ensured peace and security of the Korean peninsula and the world with his original Songun politics.

He applied in an overall way the Songun politics from the philosophical principle that the sovereignty and dignity of the country and nation and the lasting peace and security of the world can be defended only by the invincible military strength, arms for self-defense, in the present world where justice is mercilessly infringed upon due to the imperialists' high-handed and arbitrary practices.

He decisively smashed the extreme military threat and provocations of the hostile forces and turned the DPRK into an invincible military power with his energetic Songun leadership.

He is, indeed, a peerlessly great man as he defended and glorified Korean socialism despite the world political tempest and all challenges.

He is also the leader of the people who advanced the revolution and construction by firmly believing in the people and relying on their strength.

His love for the people was expressed in putting forward them as the most precious and almighty being and teacher in the world and devoting himself to them.

His noble image as the genuine leader of the people will be always kept in the hearts of the progressive mankind as well as the Korean people.
