A former Nigerian Head of state, General Yakubu Gowon has said that Nigeria is undergoing trying times as it is burdened and battling with myriad of problems.
He identified insecurity, Boko Haram, militancy, corruption, misappropriation of public funds, crimes, unmitigated violence and man’s inhumanity to man as some of the country’s problems.
Gowon, also Chairman of Nigeria Prays speaking in Ilorin on Sunday during the Nigeria prays rally for the North-Central Zone, added that the current national challenges are worrisome and alien to the country.
He spoke on “Trust and faith in God to take care and charge of Nigeria.”
Gowon said, “Let us pray for the current religious tension in our country, something that is quite worrying and disturbing and alien to Nigeria in the recent past. Let us pray to God to help us contain them.
“May our lord touch and change the hearts of those who are inclined and involved in this vice to refrain from such evil. Let our religions be for peace, love and respect for one another as Jesus loves and taught us. Pray against all forms of injustice, barbarism, cultism, idol worship and idolatry.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Two words for you: Aburi accord. Now here is the question. What would have been tge case if you read it and implemented it? Answer that to yourself as we all know that you find it hard to admit the famine and genocide you administered
ReplyDeleteWbat is most disturbing to me is not the myriads of problems, rather those who gather themslves to either pray or comment on the problems.
ReplyDeleteWhen Gowon in defiance to a well thought out mediatory role of late Kwame Inkruma of Ghana decided to wage a senseless war against the Ibos, was he not aware that the fall oit may not be what he bargained for.
Gowon please stop playing the ostrich and tell the wbole world why you have to shed the blood of Ibos in such a senseless war,
The blood of those innocent ibos (men, women and chilsren) cries more in heaven than any form of hypcritical prayers void of sincerity that a thousand groups like yours make.
When I see Gowon I remember all the dead people and misery he left in his wake. No man with a soul would be able to sleep at night if they did half of what he did and now he is talking on the other side off his face
