We Play Politics With Religion And Tribe In Nigeria – Osinbajo

By -
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has identified politics in matters of religion and tribe as a major problem facing the Nation at the moment.

Speaking at the National Ecumenical Center Abuja where the Thanksgiving service to commemorate the 55th Independence of Nigeria held yesterday September 27th, Osinbajo said Nigerians must dissociate themselves with from such tribal and religious lines as the issues that affect the country affects all irrespective of tribe or religion.


“Our nation is sharply divided for long along religious and tribal lines. The moment we are divided against ourselves we can’t stand. We must also speak on the unity of the country. It will make a difference in the future of this country.
Our country’s major problem is that we play politics with everything. We play politics with religion, we play politics with tribe.
When a bomb goes off in Potiskum or Maiduguri, it doesn’t ask questions, whether you are a Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa. The issues that we see go beyond the contest between Christians and Muslims. We have seen children and adults blown to pieces who are victims of insurgency.
There were Christians, Muslims and those who do not profess any faith. Jesus Christ did not come to this world to celebrate religion, but for redemption. He came to make sacrifice for us.
The message of Jesus Christ transcends religion. No matter what it is that we face, the answer lies in the love of Jesus Christ. That is what we see as Nigeria clocks 55. We also expresse our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in Mecca” he said

Tope Alabi Popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi, tells Ademola Olonilua about her style Has it always been your desire to become a singer? Not at all, my childhood dream was to become an actress and a fashion designer but as God would have it, here I am today, a minister of the gospel through music. Why did you choose gospel music? I chose gospel music, not as a personal decision – it was prophetically inclined. My mother told me that a prophecy came through a man of God, when I was just seven years old, that I was going to become a great minister of God and because I was a Catholic then, my mother thought I was going to become a sister in the convent. But along the line, I had a personal call from God in 1999. Before then, I usually dreamt about ministering to people, that was how I started, before I finally released my first album in 2001.
