Stop cursing your country, Oluwole begs Nigerians

Pastor Joseph Oluwole of Zion of Christ Church Ilorin has admonished Nigerians in the diaspora to pray for their country and stop cursing their fatherland.

Oluwole, who gave the advice in Ilorin on Friday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said most Nigerians abroad always speak evil about their country.

According to him, Nigeria as a nation deserves prayer and not consistent curses from her descendants.

“Must you speak negatively about a country you originated from? Enough of the curse and condemnation. Learn to pray for your root.

“No country is perfect. I always feel sad when I read bad things on social media about our dear nation coming from Nigerians residing abroad.

“Use your mouth to pray and let us prophesize good things about our country and not negative things. Remember you left some of your relatives behind before traveling. Wish others well and not bad,” he advised.

The cleric however called on Nigerian leaders to have fear of God in them and rescue the country from its economic woes.

He also advised the public to join hands with the government to move the country forward for a better nation.
