Most Reverend Samuel Abidoye,
Chairman and Spiritual Head,
Cherubim and Seraphim Movement
Church (CSMC) Worldwide, has
called Nigerians to seek God’s
intervention to curb insurgency in
the country.
Abidoye’s call is contained in a
New Year massage made on Friday
in Bauchi.
He emphasised that Nigerians
should embrace love as well as
seek God’s intervention towards
surmounting the current security
challenges and other socio-
economic problems confronting the
country.
Abidoye observed that Nigeria was
suffering from lack of love and
harmony among her people.
He opined that the dearth of love
among Nigerians had given birth
to distrust, intolerance, hatred and
unwarranted violence among the
citizens of this country.
“The only solution to the problem
is for each citizen to begin to see
the next person as his or her
brother or sister.
“This will make the essence of
humanity to be experienced by all
in the country, because the value
of life would be appreciated by all
as a result,” Abidoye added.
He pointed out that the activities
of Boko Haram in the North East
region was due to lost of humanity
by Nigerians where they have
sacrificed their humanity for
avarice and self-centredness.
The cleric noted that “our
existence as a nation would be
meaningless if we cannot apply the
significance of the teachings of
Jesus Christ and Prophet
Muhammad to our peculiar
environment and circumstances.
“It is expected that the noble
characteristics of Jesus Christ and
Prophet Muhammad who lived
peaceful lives.
“It beats imagination the way
Nigerians behaves, especially the
level of intolerance, corruption and
hatred being displayed in the
country,” he said.
“According to him, the people in
government continue to act as if
the matter is just a minor one and
they continue to spend our money
like water while their fellow citizens
are being slaughtered in sickening
manner.
“The younger generation are too
money conscious, they are ready
to do anything to make money. No
more restraint in their conducts,
they lack patience, and just want
to get rich as quickly as possible,
making them very, very desperate.
“We should be careful that we did
not provoke God to be angry with
this country because the level of
bloodshed is just too much, I am
sure our situation is not too bad
for redemption,” the statement
read in part.
He urged politicians to remember
the suffering populace, saying
disappointing these set of people
will cause God to be angry with the
country.
“That is why many of them may
not be returned to office, no matter
how much they tried to come back
because there is a God that fights
for the poor and helpless.”
