The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, called on Nigerians yesterday to desist from the habit of raining curses on the nation and its leaders.

Musa warned that Nigerians must realise the efficacy and power of the spoken word and its capacity to do damage.

He made the comment at a one-day seminar themed: “Civil-Military Relations: Non-kinetic Efforts of the Nigerian Military in Security Management, Challenges and Prospects,” organised by the Defence Correspondents Association of Nigeria (DECAN) at the Army Resource Center in Abuja.

He said Nigerians must be optimistic about the nation for it to move forward.

His words: “There must be a nation before you can even discuss it, and that is very critical. Sometimes, I find it very hard to understand when I hear Nigerians speaking evil about their country.

“We all know as Africans that there’s power in the word. What you say means a lot. We must learn how to be positive about our country. That’s the only way we can be productive.

“We have seen countries, most countries, it’s not like they don’t have issues, but they don’t put their own problems in the forefront like we do, and that is what is affecting us as individuals.

“So, it’s important that we must take ownership of our country. We must wish our country well and our leaders well. When they err, let us call them to question and proffer solution.”

The defence chief further said: “It’s not just negative criticism. Every day, you are insulting; you are abusing. You are calling God to punish.

“No, you cannot kill your country because you feel it is just that you feel like that. You don’t grow a country with such attitude.

“There must be a nation before you can even discuss it, and that is very critical. Sometimes, I find it very hard to understand when I hear Nigerians speaking evil about their country.”

So you mean we should be clapping and praising Ebola Tinubu and his cohorts everyday for destroying our country abi? If you are doing the right thing then you shouldn't worry about curses. It only affects you when you are guilty of what you were cursed for.

Arrest and detain anyone who curses president Tinubu or his government. It will serve as a deterrent to others.

Na only course abi dem beat your leaders, this is idiocy coming from the Chief of staff that don’t seem to know the meaning of democracy. Leaders have been slapped in saner clime, did they close bulaba mouth from coursing back. If the chief staff talk anyhow his course will be waybilled until he show me a place in the constitution where it says Nigerians are not permitted to curse their leaders. Ndiara not knowing their limit.

Comedian of the defence service

Oga cds, face your job. Leave citizens to vent their anger on the clueless grab and run with it mafias that hijack our nations.
You cannot , steal , grab and run with power and still be clueless. It is madness.

Ipob are the people fund of cursing our leaders and the nation itself. Let us call a spade a spade. The earlier we all come together collectively to speak positivity into our country and our leaders, the better.

Lets focus on building a better future for our nation by speaking positively and constructively about it, rather than tearing it down with curses.

Sometimes, the policies of the leaders bring more pains to the people and the only way to let the leaders know what they did is for the people to course them.

Warn the leaders to stop inflicting hardship on the masses, the pain is now unbearable.

Nigerians must be optimistic about the nation for it to move forward.

Same crop of grossly insensitive, irresponsible and corrupt people parading themselves as leaders in Nigeria today? The embodiment of corruption president? Abeg make we hear word. This CDS is a big clown.

See this foolish FATMAN talking about positive thinking like a motivational speaker.

Do your job and deal with the insecurity in Nigeria.
Leave motivational speaking ALONE!
