REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AT THE 59TH INDEPENDENCE DAY INTERDENOMINATIONAL CHURCH SERVICE, AT THE NATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, ON THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2019

PROTOCOLS

God had promised, through the mouths of His trusted prophets, that He is giving us a New Nigeria! May I announce to you today that God is ready to take us into the Promised Land, the new Nigeria.

And we must remember that God, the Almighty God is the builder of nations, that God controls the destinies of nations and its people. Psalms 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness. The world and those who dwell therein.”

God promised the children of Israel that He would take them from bondage, suffering and slavery into the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

By the hand of Joshua, God brought His promise to pass. They got to the Jordan and as their feet touched the water, the Jordan was separated and they walked on dry land all across the Jordan.

They got to Jericho, a well-fortified city and they did not fire a shot, they brought down the walls of Jericho by a shout. Thereafter, when they were about to take the Promised Land, after Moses had asked that some go and spy out the land, some of those who went to spy said that it would be impossible to take the city, impossible to enter the Promised Land. However, Caleb and Joshua had a different spirit, and they said that because God had promised and because He could do it, all the problems were just bread, mere bread to be eaten by the children of Israel.

God has promised us a new Nigeria, a peaceful Nigeria, a prosperous Nigeria, a Nigeria where justice and equity shall prevail, a united Nigeria, where the different tribes and tongues are not wedges of separation, but the joyful textures of our togetherness. God is ready to fulfill His promise.

We stand outside the new city, the Promised Land, the new Nigeria; like the spies sent by Moses to spy out the Promised Land, some are saying, “Ha! It is impossible, Nigeria cannot change, the ethnic and religious divisions are too deep, corruption cannot end, politicians are too selfish and mischievous.”

Yet, like Caleb and Joshua, we declare that these problems are merely bread for us, we will enter the Promised Land!

The new Nigeria is here, and each and every one of us, our families, our friends, all of us, will eat the pleasant fruits of this land.

God Almighty has taken away the protection of the enemies of this nation. He has taken away their powers, the noise we hear, the turbulence we experience, are the last gasps of a defeated foe. The day of freedom is at the door.

As with Abraham, we in the words of Hebrews 11:10 wait for the new Nigeria, which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

As we wait, we declare in the words of Psalms 46:8-11 -“Come, behold the works of the Lord, who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still and know that I am God! I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.”

Amen!

Happy 59th Independence Day Anniversary!

God bless Nigeria!

Religion another biggest problem in this nation...

Let's forget all this prophesy talk, moses a credible leader was sent by God to free the Israelites.

Moses was groomed in a royal family, so he understood leadership, he is determined, he is educated.

As someone from a royal family he understood selflessness, he is not selfish....

Nigeria leaders are totally the opposite of moses.

We don't have the kind of Moses as our leaders to take us away from suffering.

They even enjoy seeing us suffer why they eat fat...

Yet some idiots among us will support them

Joncin...

Religion is part of the issue we have in this country. How often do you hear other leaders in more developed countries talk like this.

Nigeria so far is a joke EOD.

This yahoo guy no get work?

Naija politician & jokes sha

They quote bible verse like Angel Michael

Hmm

And

We are far from freedom unless Nigerians have access to water, good roads, healthcare, power and security.

Osinbanjo need to come out of his mask and face issues head on as the VP. He shouldn’t come to us always as a motivational speaker with nothing to show for.

Alase. The day your master resign, we will get freedom.

Everytime one promise or the other..non fulfilled..failed generation

Oga free yourself first.

Talk no do government. Keep scamming the gullibles.

Freedom from wetin biko nu?

Is he saying Buhari will soon die ? Cos that’s the only way to freedom for Nigeria actually

Nigeria will be free when You and Buhari finally leave our government house that's when we will make a decision as a nation whether to continue in bondage or be free from the bondage

Freedom from who ?

Ok

Freedom / bondage is at the door .

U consciously impoverish the populace and claim a messiah.

God had promised, through the mouths of His trusted prophets, that He is giving us a New Nigeria! May I announce to you today that God is ready to take us into the Promised Land, the new Nigeria.

This man is sick, I think the cabal have removed his brain.

When the righteous is on the throne, everyone rejoice. VP, with you and buhari on the throne, I have no doubt that our voyage to prosperity as a nation is near. May God continue to guide you both with the required wisdom to accomplish the mission.

Osinbajo

Oga free yourself first.

hopeless nonentity.the moment osibanjo emerge as VP .he has been freed for life.
He has inherited diplomatic passport to travel anywhere in this world till his death.

If your father achieved alot for himself and ur siblings you will never hate unnecessary cos hate is borne out of bitterness, hopelesness, and frustration of not making it in life

adebuk47:
Alase. The day your master resign, we will get freedom.

His "master" has only been in power for a little over 4 years... Were we truly free since 1960??!... Have we ever been free from corruption, nepotism, crimes, poverty, international debts, under-development, insecurity, bigotry, etc,??!

Let's take a moment and ask ourselves some deep, salient questions... Are we really worthy of independence??!...

Baba is releasing prophecy.

Only useless brains will be criticizing this man.

As VP has only virtual powers and must pledge support to the visions and goals of his boss.

He may counsel, but discretion lies with the head. He has demonstrated poise and capacity and he has done well.

God bless Nigeria.

AMEN and AMEN

I weep for Nigeria

Amen and thank you my vp
