Amidst Insecurity, Osinbajo Tells Nigerians To Stop Complaining Like Israelites At Red Sea
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has told Nigerians not to complain and sound like biblical Israelites at the Red Sea amid violent killings and abductions across the country.
Mr Osinbajo claimed God would make Nigeria an โoasis of peace, security, and prosperityโ in Africa and beyond.
โWe must not sound like the children of Israel, fearful before Goliath, petrified and complaining at the Red Sea, as Pharaoh and his hostile hosts approached,โ he urged.
Among the crises plaguing the country is acute insecurity and terrorism.
In a statement on Sunday in Abuja, Mr Osinbajoโs spokesman, Laolu Akande, said the vice president spoke at the ongoing 108th Annual Convention of the Nigerian Baptist Convention in Lagos.
Mr Osinbajo said, โThere is a promise of God for this nation that this nation will prosper, that this nation will be the epicentre of the astounding economic and scientific developments of the 21st century.
โThat we will create here in Nigeria an oasis of peace, security, and prosperity, such as has never been seen before on this continent and beyond.โ
According to him, the feat is not impossible for God to achieve.
โThis is the promise of God. But today, the clouds are overcast. The promise seems impossible, as it was with the children of Israel after leaving Egypt on the way to the Promised Land.
โThe journey to the promise of God for Nigeria is going through storms and adversity, but the end will be better than the beginning; weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
โI am completely convinced that nobody, no group, no ideology, can defeat the promise of God for the greatness of Nigeria. I see it clearly. I know it like my own face,โ he said.
