Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has appealed to Christians in the country not to take up arms against their attackers, saying vengeance belonged to God.
Osinbajo made the appeal at the 14th National Biennial Conference of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) held in Benin, Edo State on Tuesday. He said while it’s difficult to tell someone whose wife and children were killed in his presence in most gruesome way not to retaliate, the best course to take in such situation is to emulate Christ’s shame of death on the cross to save humanity and leave God to vengeance.
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and national president of PFN, Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude were among others who admonished Christians in the country to continuously preach the love of Jesus Christ despite religious killings in the country. Speaking on the topic “our greatest enemy is hate” the acting president said that the greatest enemy the country has is “hate”. Reflecting on the chronicle of religious and ethnic crises in the country since the 1970s, which he attributed to hatred, he said that the answers to the crises could only be found in gospel of peace. He said that killings and suicide bombings had continued to increase despise efforts by previous administrations to proffer solutions to religious and ethnic crises in the country. The acting president however faulted the judiciary for its inability to convict perpetrators of the wicked killings in the country adding that it was unfair to say that the federal government was silent about the issue of the southern Kaduna killings.
On his part, Omobude urged Christians to embrace peace and work for the unity of the country. Earlier, governor Obaseki of Edo expressing delight to hosting the conference, urged Nigerians to see religion as a life changing tool. He said, “as the present economic situation takes full toll on the social system, causing ethnic and religious conflict, as Christians, we must not allow emotions to take a better part of us but rather we should deploy religion as a tool for peace, national unity and development. “I look forward to the Nigeria of our dream where Christians, Muslims and all adherents of different religions will live together in peace and unity.
I thank you for the opportunity of affording our state the privilege to host this year’s conference. the relationship between Edo state and the Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) goes back to the pioneering era of archbishop Benson Idahosa, of blessed memory, the first president of the Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria. So for us in Edo State, this is home coming”. Obaseki, who acknowledge PFN’s overwhelming support and prayers for Nigeria in general and the people and government of Edo state in particular especially in this season economic challenges said, “by the abiding grace of almighty god and the indomitable power of the holy spirit, may we achieve the economic prosperity that we all pray for”. He said the title of this conference ‘from glory to glory’ emphasizes the goodness, fullness and continuity of god’s thoughts and plans for his children adding “the conference once again affords us an opportunity for a sober reflection on some critical aspects of our national development.
“We are challenged daily by the hydra-headed evil of socio-economic and political avarice, lack of respect for private and public property as well as the sanctity of human life. “We are confronted with the failure of institutions charged with the preservation of law and order because the hearts of men have become more desperately wicked.
“Laws alone are therefore not sufficient without a deeper appeal to the minds of people through authentic religion. “Therefore, this is an appropriate time to remind us that religion holds the key to the hearts of people and that to change society, we must deploy true religion as a life changing tool, hence Albert Einstein, a great philosopher and scientist, exhorts us to combine insights from religion with scientific discoveries to advance humanity. “My meeting last weekend with religious leaders across the state has revealed that many social scourges can be curbed and eliminated if we express our faiths responsibly and if government actively partners with religious bodies. i assure you that my government is committed to this ideal.
“As the current economic recession takes its toll on the social fabric of our society by causing ethnic and religious tensions and recriminations, as Christians, we must however not allow emotions take the better part of us but rather we should deploy religion as a tool for peace, national unity and development “It is just and Christianly for men of god to guide political leaders in the right direction without necessarily playing partisan politics. i urge all Nigerians not to allow religion tear us apart. “On behalf of the people and government of Edo state, I welcome you all to this conference. i look forward to the true Nigeria of our dream in which Christians, Muslims and adherents of other faiths will live together peacefully and united. i wish us a successful conference and a great outpouring of the holy spirit. May god’s blessings for Nigeria, Edo State and everyone in attendance be from ‘glory to glory’.”

TheSociopath: The enduring grip of historical falsehoods on Igbo minds continues to poison both Igbo culture and psyche.
BY TOCHUKWU EZUKANMA FEB 06, 2017
My recent article, the messages of Ahiara, an incisive piece buttressed with logic and reason, which refuted some popular but erroneous notions of tribalism and secession in Nigeria, drew a lot of hostile responses from some of my readers. They lobbed curses and hauled invectives at me. However, to me, it was all exhilarating. I relish rejoinders to my writings, be them abusive or appreciative.
One of my milder critics accused me of demonstrated dislike for Biafra and its leadership. Yes, I detest the Biafra leadership because, in its recklessness, arrogance and despotism, it brought about the death of hundreds of thousands at the glory of their youth and the starvation to death of more than one million hapless and blameless men, women and children. It dismantled the Igbo power structure, painstakingly put together over decades by the likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, and Michael Okpara, and set the Igbo back by at least 100 years. Why would any Igbo not despise a leadership that brought so much, avoidable, suffering, pain and sorrow to the Igbo?
Some of my detractors argued that secession was a necessary response to the mass-murder of the Igbo in northern Nigeria. Undoubtedly, that orchestrated slaughter of the innocent for no offense of theirs but their ethnicity was unconscionable. However, it would be selective amnesia to forget that the July 29th 1966 coup and the attendant anti-Igbo riots in the North did not sprout out of a void. They were in reprisal for an earlier coup in January 1966 in which an Igbo dominated group of army officers murdered the most important Hausa/Fulani political and military leaders (Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Belewa and Zakari Miamalari) without killing any Igbo leader. And following the coup, the Igbo in the North became too celebrative; dancing and singing to a Rex Lawson song and telling their Hausa neighbors that the bleating of a goat in the song was Ahmadu Bello (the most important Hausa/Fulani leader) howling like a goat as he was being killed by Major Nzeogwu. It was the discriminatory killings and gratuitous mockery of the memory of their most important leader, amongst other reasons, that set the stage for the July 1966 anti-Igbo coup and the attendant anti-Igbo riots.
After the killings in the January and July coups and that unsurpassed butchery of Igbo civilians in northern Nigeria, there was a desperate need for peace in the country. In search of peace, the regional governors, David Ejoor, Usman Katsina, Robert Adebayo and Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, and the Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, met at Aburi in Ghana, where they agreed on and signed the Aburi Accord. The most significant aspect of the accord was constitutional: the reduction of the powers of the federal government by devolution of additional powers to regional governments. Long ago, an Igbo professor of political science at Howard University in Washington, DC told me that Yakubu Gowon implemented the Aburi Accord. To me, his statement was not only unbelievable but sacrilegious. I lost my temper at what I thought was historical revisionism taken to a nauseating extreme. The elderly professor must have understood my problem. I was suffering from a hangover of the Biafran propaganda. I was under the stupefying hold of the lies we were fed in Biafra. For he stated, “don’t worry, with time, in the course of your reading and research, you will find out that Gowon implemented the Aburi Accord”.
Years later, I found out that Gowon implemented the Aburi Accord. In his book, Power Sharing in Nigerian Federation, Chukwuemeka Nwokedi wrote that, “Apart from minor adjustments to the Aburi Accord, in other to still retain the corporate nature of Nigeria”, Gowon implemented the Aburi Accord with Decree 8; “and the regions acquired more powers than they have ever had”. That was months before the continued wrangling between Ojukwu and Gowon led to the creation of states. But did Ojukwu not declare Biafra and we marched out to war on the mantra, “On Aburi We Stand”. According to other writers, the minor adjustments Gowon made to the accord was the cancelation of two articles of the accord, which stated that any region can secede from Nigeria at will, and that the federal government can, on no account, impose a state of emergency on any region. Ojukwu’s advisers urged him to accept Decree 8 because Gowon had “gone more than far enough”. He refused.
The removal of the two articles of the accord did not in any way imperil the lives and property of the Igbo and other peoples of Eastern Region. Ojukwu’s squabbling, against the advice of his advisers, over the two articles was solely motivated by personal ambition. Following Ojukwu’s declaration of Biafra, the war inevitably started. As it raged on, it was obvious that a negotiated settlement to the war would be most advantageous to the Igbo. Ojukwu’s obsession with maintaining himself in power stalled the peace talks that would have extracted for the Igbo a number of concessions from the federal government. Despite the enormous toll of the war, especially, on human lives, he kept protecting his position and power, until it became untenable. And, as Biafra collapsed, he ran away; Biafra surrendered unconditionally.
A litany of the falsehood we were fed in Biafra is beyond the scope of this article. David Klinghoffer was right when he wrote that, “Widespread misinformation poisons a culture”. The enduring grip of these falsehoods on Igbo minds continues to poison both Igbo culture and psyche. They make us paranoid – we feel surrounded by enemies committed to our destruction, and in our suspicion of these “enemies” we see ulterior motives in every act, no matter how well-intended and benign, by other Nigerians. In addition, they make us feel like innocent victims of the evil devices of an alliance of the other Nigerian ethnic groups. And like perennial victims we refuse to take responsibilities for our actions; we find psychological refuge in blaming others, the Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, etc, for our problems.
Blaming others for your problems is gratifying but destructive; it reinforces the feeling of victimhood. The mindset that sustains a feeling of victimhood is antithetical to victory. Therefore, a victim remains a loser until he changes his mindset. For our own good, the Igbo need to change their attitude towards Nigeria and the other peoples of Nigeria. This demands rising above the misinformation of the Biafran propaganda by embracing some incontrovertible historical facts. This will enable us to realize that our problems stemmed not from the hatred and wicked machination of the Hausa, Yoruba and other ethnic groups of Nigeria, but from repeated political blunders of Igbo leaders, especially, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
Otherwise, our political fortune, clout and relevance will continue to decline. It has declined to a point, where a proud and resourceful people that, in their triumphalism, once boasted of dominating not only Nigeria but the whole of Africa now whimper and snivel over trivialities like a disconsolate old widow.
Jibril659: See who's talking about hate? where where you when nnamdi kanu said "Anybody who voted or supported Buhari, give me a gun, I will shoot the person dead, and go to prison." I expect your ignorance will not let you remember this -
You must come out to support what we are doing. We need guns, and we need bullets...To kill somebody is very difficult for us, so to ask a gathering of igbo people that we need guns and bullets, and weapons would be very very difficult to address, but without it, Hausa people will barrage us."
There are more peaceful ways of seceding from a country you no longer want to be part of , this was what your leader said in 2014-
If they do not give us Biafra, there will be nothing living in that very zoo they call Nigeria. Nothing will survive there, I can assure you...I do not believe in peaceful actualization of what ever the rubbish is called. I have never seen where you become free by peaceful means."
