Stop Playing Politics With Religion – Osinbajo by Nobody: 11:30pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has called on Nigerians to eschew playing politics with religion. Osinbajo says while such trends do not mean well for a country on the threshold of peace, “a house or nation that is divided against itself cannot stand.” He sounded the warning on Sunday in Abuja during the 55th Independence Anniversary Interdenominational Church Service held at the National Christian Centre. At the event, Catholic Bishop of Kafanchan Diocese and delegate, who represented the Christian Association of Nigeria in the 2014 national conference, Joseph Bagobiri, warned President Muhammadu Buhari against using the institutions of government to attack political opponent and carry out vendetta. Osinbajo said, “Our nation is sharply divided for long along religious and tribal lines. The moment we are divided against ourselves we can’t stand. We must also speak on the unity of the country. It will make a difference in the future of this country. “Our country’s major problem is that we play politics with everything. We play politics with religion, we play politics with tribe. “When a bomb goes off in Potiskum or Maiduguri, it doesn’t ask questions, whether you are a Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa. The issues that we see go beyond the contest between Christians and Muslims. We have seen children and adults blown to pieces who are victims of insurgency. There were Christians, Muslims and those who do not profess any faith. “Jesus Christ did not come to this world to celebrate religion, but for redemption. He came to make sacrifice for us. The message of Jesus Christ transcends religion No matter what it is that we face, the answer lies in the love of Jesus Christ. That is what we see as Nigeria clocks 55. We also expressed our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in Mecca.” www.punchng.com/news/stop-playing-politics-with-religion-osinbajo/ |

Ok Vice President we believe you are right that religion and ethnic issues are at dangerous level in the country and these sensitive issues has been used as a weapon by selfish politicians. However, it is also wrong for you to quote Jesus Christ as it may appear that you are imposing your Christian values on our non-Christians. In this case, mr Vice President you are also guilty of the same crime you are accusing others for engaging in. |

Boss13:I have this piece of advice for you When words become unclear, you should focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, you should be content with silence. Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer. Cos I don't even think you understand what you are saying. |
