Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has signed an agreement with 30 Saudi-based clerics to pray for peace in the state.

This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesperson to the governor, Isa Gusau.

He said, “An old man amongst them is said to have remained a Ka’aba devotee in the last 40 years.

“The Ka’aba is Islam’s holiest area located inside the grand Al-Haram mosque in Makkah.

"The aim is to combine different approaches that include sustained support for the Nigerian Armed Forces, aggressive mass recruitment and equipping of more counter-insurgency volunteers into the Civilian JTF, hunters and vigilantes as well as socio-economic approach in enhancing access to education, job opportunities and providing other means of livelihood through social protection initiatives.”

Gusau, who was present during Governor Zulum’s brief interaction with the devotees on Friday evening around the Ka’aba in Saudi Arabia, said “The governor was there to convey his deepest gratitude and to seek continued prayers.

“Rather than sending anyone, the governor was there to, on behalf of the good people of Borno State, thank them for their empathy and the compassion in devoting themselves to praying for us everyday at the Ka’aba which for us as Muslims, is the most sacred place.

“We need these prayers more than ever before.

"We are handling our problems from different approaches.

"Prayer is key in everything that we seek. We will continue to seek prayers from many fronts.

"We will keep supporting clerics of different faiths in Nigeria for the same prayers and we will seek the same from all of you that are always here around the Holy Ka’aba.

“The governor basically will beg that they continue to pray for us towards achieving three things: first, for us to regain peace in Borno State, all of the North and Nigeria in general.

"We will have to continue that prayer on a permanent basis because we need the peace that will be sustained."

Zulum’s quest for spiritual intervention is coming days after Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Butatai, declared that a spiritual solution was required to end Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria.

Chai....

“Nobody can say that we haven’t done well in terms of security, we have done our best, but the way this situation is now, we can only pray,” the president said.

Guess they're sharing the heavy security votes they collect with the good Lord & now have no mouth to blame Jonathan?

Meanwhile, all these so called leaders & their families go about with heavily armed security protection.Evidence of a failed state being led by stupid clueless and irresponsible leaders.

A wise man said that "fools are too stupid to understand the consequences of their blunders." This has been the lot of everyone associated with this govt.

They have taken the advise of the Army Chief .. Spiritual warfare things

Prayer is the one thing taking Nigeria and Nigerians backward.
We pray when we should act.

Governor Ugwuanyi of Enugu state asked that Enugu should fast after Fulani herdsmen massacred his people.

Babatunde who has been looking for the fruit of the womb will rather spend most nights in church for deliverance when he should be shagging his wife.

SMH

Same Religious fundamentalism that's the cause of the continuous crisis in the state is being displayed publicly.

With all the fasting and prayers from the South and North, Muslims and Christians, Drunkards and Smokers, Dullards and Intellects, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
We still remain the most populous shithole in Africa.

The slogan of Borno State is the ''home of peace''

Why are they playing for peace again?


Islam means peace

You have more clerics in the North than the whole of Saudi Arabia, you dont need extra prayers, you need innovation and birth control.

True story:... was speaking with my friend who happens to come from Chibok Bornu state in the North (my security man), telling him that things are tough in this country and life is getting harder than normal, he laughed hard and said to my utmost surprise "Oga, things no hard for me ooo", I was a bit shocked and asked why, he said his father a teacher with 100k salary from the Govt, had two wives and 35 children. He was the last from his mother and he was practically the S in suffer, he went days without food, farmed till his fingers went numb and all the while he never saw what N10,000 looked like. .

He said his family was an everyday fight for food, and could not imagine what his neighbour friend who was the 57th in a family of 70 comprising of children and grandchildren would be going through. He even vowed not to get married or at most not give birth to more than he can manage. he actually went deep into bokoharam and how it all started with price tags placed on killing of Christians, Police, Army, burning of churches during the last administration with cash rewards between 50k to 500k, that drove a lot of the youths to joining the association, he said killing was as normal as turning off a light switch while child birth in large numbers made it look like nothing happened.

So, sir... you dont need clerics for more prayers, you need birth control and innovations.

Unbelievable!!!

That God should come down and fight boko haram , solve the issue of Amajiri , control the birth rate in the state and etc while you ,Mr. governor embezzle public fund , holding meetings with terrorists and providing them covers . You are ruling the state with religious belief rather than Nigerian constitution .

Truly , North is dragging us backward.

Madness.

You have army.

You collect security votes.

So how mad can you be?

If them like make them carry all Saudi Muslims make dem pray for them, boko haram is their creation. This is another way they want to siphon money in the name of importing religious expert to help pray for the state n country. So its now means they dont know how to pray so their prayers could be answered.. C ehhhh, religion is what has made us backward than forward. Useless people.

Nonsense

Shouda asked for 30 mercenaries instead!

There's something I would like to know
Pls who own the State hausa or the fulani
Boko harm can't just be killing in that region for no reason

I always say Nigeria is doomed but people do come for my head. Soon south east governors will spend 10 billion naira to invite pope from Rome or Vatican city to come and pray so that they can have good roads.
South West will spend 2.5 billion Naira to invite priest from Isreal so that they can pray and poverty can vanish from the land.

Nigeria is truly Giant of Africa. I mean Giant of Africa in comedy.

The north sef, even the Saudis worked for what they are enjoying today.

Prayers only work for those things that will work even in the absence of prayers..

yet they couldn't prevent Yemenis from attacking them with their prayers

Smh

What the north needs is sanity not prayer to their virgin promising god...

Saudi Arabia became developed by the right channelling and use of their resources and not through the recitations they call prayer.

how much of the oil money was wasted on this clerics?

The ruling class think little of everyone, they always find a way to divert attention from their incompetency. It’s not like the state is suffering from any natural disaster, all the problem they are facing are man made caused by years of misrule.

Why not call Baba MURIC to pray for them

They know just what they are doing, fooling the masses in thinking they are actually fighting boko haram when its only a profitable biz venture for them.
