Oritsejafor: Nigerians running away from the truth
Paul Obi in Abuja
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Tuesday said politicians are constantly exploiting the current act of terrorism and insurgency by the Boko Haram sect for cheap and short-term political gains.
This came as the CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, observed that the country was still experiencing the insurgency because Nigerians are pretenders and always in the habit of running away from the truth.
Oritsejafor, while speaking at the Northern States Christian Elders’ Forum (NOSCEF) and Traditional Rulers Conference 2014 in Abuja, said the greatest war that Nigeria is fighting today is the war Nigerians are fighting against truth.
Oritsejafor stated: “Nigeria is fighting against truth. We hate truth, we hide truth and we fear truth. It is so unfortunate. In John 8:32, Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free. Nigeria is not free because we are running away from truth. Truth can be bitter, but when you swallow it, when it gets inside, it could become sweet.
“No nation can grow or develop without embracing the truth. No matter how difficult it is. In the same John 8:46, it was said: “If what I have told you is the truth, then why do you refuse to believe me?” This is the situation of Nigerians, we are like ostrich, we are a nation of pretenders.
“We run away from the truth and we want to believe that somehow, our troubles will just vanish, but it never happened that way, because truth has a way of creating a level plain ground for everybody.”http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/politicians-exploiting-terrorism-for-short-term-political-gains-says-can/196305/

Ofcourse, that has been the case for long and is also the reason why the whole thing is being difficult to handle.
Even in the bible it is recorded that u shall know the truth and the same truth shall set u free.

More from the article
The association explained that politicians have turned the insurgency into a thriving field; “Needless, senseless violence triggered by anger, hate and intolerance and, above all, by fear.In recent months many politicians have tried to claim that one political party or another is secretly using Boko Haram for their own ends.

“Giving instructions; providing them with weapons and finance; yet not one piece of evidence has been forthcoming. Accusations and denials have filled the newspapers, but these politicians do not want to help our community.”

CAN observed that the main purpose of this divide and rule is to achieve some political gains.

“They just want our votes so that they can look after themselves. They feed on fear and gorge themselves on terror. They demonstrate that they can be no part of Nigeria’s future so long as they remain wedded to exploitation of terror for short-term political gain.

No, our Government is, followed by you.
