Pastor Olatunji Festus of The Light of Christ Church, Ilorin, has advised religious leaders to pray for Nigeria and stop making doom prophesies about the country.
Mr Festus, who gave the advice in an interview in Ilorin on Friday, said Nigeria needs prayers at the moment, not doom prophesies.
“Everyday, we hear negative prophesies coming from religious leaders about our dear country. They never deem it fit to pray for the country,” said the church leader. “It is uncalled for. Must we continue to reveal the negative sides and mute on declaring the positives? Let us pray as religious leaders and stop pronouncing negatives about the country.”
The cleric, however, advised Nigerians to put the country first before considering overseas options, stressing Nigeria is home and should be put first in prayers.
