Former President Olusegun Obasanjo , on Tuesday , cautioned Nigerian leaders to stop blaming God for insecurity , bad economy , poverty , and other challenges confronting the country .
Obasanjo said the nation’ s woes remain the ‘choice ’ of the leaders and followers, stressing a change of narrative as the country approaches 2021.
The former president said this at his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta , Ogun State, on his 2021 message to Nigerians.
According to him , with enormous resources available in the country, Nigeria does not have to be poor and no Nigerian must go to bed hungry .
He described 2020 as a year of many challenges but urged Nigerians to work and pray hard in order to achieve “ a glorious 2021” .
Obasanjo said , “ I like the motto of a school which says ‘ work and pray. ’ Some people say it should be ‘ pray and work’, but it doesn’ t matter to me in what order I put it , but prayer must go with work and work must go with prayer.
“ And I believe we need to work hard in this country as we pray hard so that the coming year, the year 2021 will be a glorious year for us. But it will not happen unless we work to make it happen .

“ We do not have to blame God for our situation , we have to blame ourselves. Nigeria does not have to be poor , no Nigerian must go to bed hungry . That we have a situation like that is a choice by our leaders and followers alike. My prayer is that God will make year 2021 a better year for all of us, but it will not happen without work.”
On strategy to recover the economy from recession, Obasanjo said , “ When we do the right thing. We are not doing the right thing now. When we do the right thing, the economy will be what it should be .
“ We have gone from one form of insecurity to bad economy and on the top of it is the COVID- 19. Some people, either for insecurity or for bad economy or for COVID- 19 have gone to the great beyond, I will say may the would of those who have departed , particularly in this year of challenges, may their souls rest in perfect peace . ”

Of course he knows what he's saying. He's an 'inside man' na.

Lol.

Mad leaders we got in Nigeria.
Bastardy keep telling us to pray to God to save the nation like God will come down to save the nation.

Like wtf?

Did God come down from heaven to build China or Scotland or Germany?

God isn't responsible for our woes

We are our own problems.

watch zombie criticise him, he said we and leaders read well before comment, so he didn't exempt him self, zombie love for buhari have blind their eyes for seeing the truth that eye need surgery, buhari has failed, obasanjo 8 years have proven to be the best we ever had, name it bank reform, telecoms,pension reform,NSDC, EFCC, all the sub power station was build by his regime, debt conciliation, etc none after him have beaten his record,

the leaders will blame God because he did not give them BRAIN & IDEA on how to move the country forward& develop.

Will they hear?

Hmm. Nigeria

On second thought, God should be seriously blamed considering the rate in which many Nigerians trusts and rely on him, pay tithes and offerings even parting with their valuables in the name of seed sowing, holding crusades and all-nights prayers, taking oath with his inspired scripture before assuming offices, crying to him everyday for justice, leaving matters in his hands when raped, robbed, maimed, kidnapped or killed. Doing nothing while his sacred name is used on a daily to scam Nigerians....etc with this few points of mine, anyone can see that God is wholly responsible for Nigeria's problem.

WHATEVER OBJ SAYS, HE IS RIGHT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THE YORUBAS DESIRE NIGERIA AS THEIR COUNTRY. THE YORUBAS ALSO VALUE FULL AUTONOMY OF POLICE (INTERNAL SECURITY), RESOURCES (EXPLOITATION AND APPROPRIATION) AND OF ELECTIONS (RECRUITING AND APPOINTING THEIR OWN TO REPRESENT THEM IN ALL FORA).

SO THE YORUBAS WANT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO OPERATE AS FEDERAL LIAISON GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE ONLY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS MILITARY AND TREATIES.

Senseless leaders we have

At 6:45am wey sun still dey sleep your brain don dey overheat already.


Nawa oh!

It is only God that can guide our borders.

It is only God that can fix insecurities in the North.

It is only God that can bring back Dapchi girls.




If this is not incompetency in its full glory and yahoo-yahoo extraordinaire by APC and Buhari led administration then I wonder what it is.

Sometimes, I equally wonder why we are really bothering God after all He has done & given us as a nation; good weather, abundant natural resources, good climate, brains, peace, etc

I asked, what else do we want God to do?

As a parent, you sent your child to one of the best schools, provide all what he wants, yet keep scoring low grade and still asking you for your intervention, pls, in what way? Will you help him write his exams for him?

It is good to support our nation with prayers but God has done so much for us and not to be blamed.

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Heaven only help does who help themselves
God has already given us the power to be creative and solve human problem with intelligence,
So we can't keep excepting everything from him
Y we are doing less.

Don't mind them.

If we are to blame God, then our leaders must vacate their seat and allow the angels take charge, then we'll begin to apportion the blame appropriately.
