*VP receives US delegation

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says Nigerians must actively engage in building bridges across religions and ethnicities to ensure a better society and nation.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this on Tuesday when he received at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, a delegation from US-based Bridgeway Community Church, led by its founder and senior pastor, Dr. David Anderson; alongside a delegation from the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission led by its Executive Secretary, Engr. Dr. Sule Yakubu Bassi.

In building bridges, the Vice President emphasized on the need to build mutual trust and respect, stating that, “we have to find ways of actively disseminating to our people here, and in Africa in particular, the importance of building bridges across religion and ethnicities.”

While noting that Nigeria is a country with different ethnicities and dominant Muslim and Christian populations, the Vice President added: “It has become clear to us that we must find different ways in building bridges, especially between the faith and ethnicities. And one of the critical things that our faith teaches, is that, regardless of what the situation may be, “we must love even our enemies and pray for them.”

“The future for society, in my view, relies on our ability to build bridges and to ensure that those bridges are firm and we can walk across it and interact with each other,” he said.

In his remarks, Anderson, who noted the need to build bridges between Africans and African-Americans, said he was inspired to build a Diaspora Palace, hotel and resort in Badagry, Lagos, “so that when people come back from the Diaspora, wherever they are, they would no longer just come to the Point of No Return, but they would walk through the Door of Return; and that they would be accepted as royalty.”

Anderson observed that several African-Americans desire to be identified as Africans, and he is working with the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Foreign Affairs and Information ministries to realize that through what he called the Door of Return initiative.

Similarly, Bassi, representing the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, noted that the Door of Return initiative, among other objectives, aims “to advance exchange of economic cooperation and direct investment between Nigerian and the Diaspora, particularly in the area of tourism and sustainable development.”

Mr VP how about you start with building physical bridges and roads across the country first.

We are really on the high level, this administration is doing great for country Nigeria

It will be a good step as this will bolster relations between Nigerians and the African-Americans. It will also encourage investments and boost tourism.

This is true talk and this administration is doing great for country Nigeria

Osinbajo has always been a unifying factor in Nigeria political space

Just a Normal political Statement, what else do you expect him to say��‍♂️. Just go to apapa and see for yourself what this man and his so called presidential commitee have done to truckers, it’s so so frustrating that even before you take export outside the country it has already started spoiling just because of delays to reach the port. Just please go to apapa and mile 2 before you start castigating me. Go and see for yourself the massive corruption that is going on there, how they “fly” there trucks, build a very weak and useless system they can easily bypass. They will tell you to source your own contact. We are just finished in this country I swear.

I am not saying based on hearsay, Go over there yourself and ask the drivers. Yet they show us nothing in the dailies and news.

I have given up in this country long ago, I am just trying my best to survive.

I don't know why christians will always be begging for peace from this terrorist that dont know peace, i believe in war, then after that you will enjoy permanent peace
