God Didn’t Create Nigeria to Struggle - Ex Pres. Obasanjo Says Amidst Current Hardship

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed his belief that Nigeria's current economic hardships are not part of God's plan for the country, emphasizing the nation's vast natural resources and potential for prosperity.

Obasanjo made these remarks during the 40th anniversary celebration of the Methodist Archdiocese of Abuja on Sunday, October 13, 2024.

“As God created other nations, endowing them with resources, He similarly blessed Nigeria with numerous resources for growth. Just as Egypt has the River Nile, Nigeria has the Rivers Niger and Benue, plus crude oil, fertile soil, and other natural resources. I firmly believe God didn’t create Nigeria to struggle. He has given us everything we need; it’s our duty to appreciate Him, especially since many countries lack what Nigeria has.”

He called upon leaders, religious figures, and the populace to engage in prayers for the nation’s recovery, recognizing that the present challenges facing Nigeria are not a result of divine will.

.“We’ve squandered God’s gifts, but if we humble ourselves and seek Him, He will heal our land.” he said

But you and your fellow despots that governed it, turned it into a basket case with poor and dishonest leadership and zero vision. You more than any other leader remain culpable with the 11 plus regressive and useless years that you piloted the affairs of the nation both as a head of state and as president. Posterity will NEVER forgive you.
