After several months of offering spiritual advice and warnings to tackle insecurity in Nigeria, it appears the Nigerian military has finally decided to include spiritual solutions in its efforts to curb insecurity in Nigeria, as advised by Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele.
As far back as the tenure of Late Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, Primate Ayodele specifically told the Nigerian military to build three strong towers, in the form of worship centres for God in order to tackle insecurity spiritually.
The prophet had always maintained that Nigeria’s insecurity problems can be solved using spiritual means and not by guns and weapons alone.
These were his words:
“Nigeria is blessed to have the best service chiefs, but they need to listen to divine instructions so that their efforts can be appreciated.”
“Our service chiefs have all it takes to make this government succeed in terms of security, but they must always acknowledge God.”
“A new terrorist group is coming up, they want to destabilize this government, it is time to turn to God for divine intervention.
“Let them build three strong towers to honour God.”
In acknowledgement of his prophetic warning and counsel, the Nigerian Navy few days ago, commissioned three worship centres, while stating that insecurity in Nigeria requires a spiritual solution to be surmounted.
The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, made the remark on Thursday at Navy Town, Asokoro, Abuja, while commissioning three newly completed places of worship as part of activities marking the 69th anniversary of the Nigerian Navy.
Addressing officers, personnel, and guests, the Naval Chief emphasised the role of spiritual fortitude in combating national threats such as insurgency and terrorism.
“We recognise that the challenges of insurgency, terrorism, and other forms of irregular threats that are facing us today are challenges that require a whole of society approach,” he said.
“So, while we look for the military solutions, we also believe that the spiritual solution is part of what we need to be able to surmount them,”
