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

CHRISTIANITY AND THE MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT OF GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE?
In his book "Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race", Edward W. Blyden states: "The Negro in Christian lands however learned in books, cannot be said to have such a thing as self-education. His knowledge, when brought to the test, often fails him. And why? Because he is taught from the beginning to the end of his book-training ? from the illustrated primer to the illustrated scientific treatise ? not to be himself, but somebody else."
"From the lessons he every day receives, the Negro unconsciously imbibes the conviction that to be a great man he must be like the white man. He is not brought up ? however he may desire it ? to be the companion, the equal, the comrade of the white man, but his imitator, his ape, his parasite. To be himself in a country where everything ridicules him, is to be nothing ? less, worse than nothing. To be as like the white man as much as possible ? to copy his outward appearance, his peculiarities, his manners, the arrangement of his toilet, that is the aim of the Christian Negro ? this is his aspiration."
Our current lifestyles, religions and customs are a clear reflection of our European indoctrination and our lack of knowledge. This is why the majority of so-called black people are Christians, without any regard of why of how they converted to the religion of their oppressors. This is why we praise a god that looks no different than the people that brought us to this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
It is a well-known historical fact that Christianity was used by White slave owners as a form of mental control over slaves. "From Plantation to Ghetto" by A. Meier and E. Rudwick states: "Finally, masters employed religion as a form of control over the slaves. After it was understood that baptism did not confer freedom and that the Southern wings of the Methodists and Baptist Churches had no intention of applying their egalitarian religion to the temporal status of the status of the slaves, many planters saw advantages in having slaves attend religious services. Some owners even built chapels on their plantations. Of course, such planter-sponsored religious observances emphasized the other wordly aspects of Christianity, rather than the impulse toward social justice in the Judaic-Christian tradition, promised salvation to those who obeyed their masters. From the masters' perspective, therefore, Christianity functioned as an anodyne to help slaves accept their lot in this world."Also, Blyden again states: "Generations descending from Huguenot and Puritan ancestry were trained to believe that God had endowed them with the right to enslave the African forever. And upon those Africans who became members of the Christian Church, the idea was impressed that it was their duty to submit, in everything, to their masters. Christian divines of all shades of opinion, in the South, taught this doctrine, and embodied it in the books prepared specially for the instruction of the slaves? their 'oral instruction,' for they were not allowed to learn to read."
Christianity was never given to so-called Black people for their spiritual benefit. Christianity served only as a vice to enslave the minds of The God's chosen people for generations.
THE CONCLUSION
The Creator of Heaven and Earth is a jealous God (Exodus 20). For us to give praise, exaltation or reverence to any other besides Him is in direct violation of His commandments. We must begin to praise God and God alone and discard all of the added mythologies we were brainwashed into accepting.
"I, even I, am YHWH; and beside me there is no savior." -Isaiah 43:11
This shows that Nigeria has never existed, Lugard made a blonder and that we face today,
Mr. Osinbajo welcome to the reality of Nigeria from your dreamland on the moon. This shows how ignorant this man is about the reality on the ground in the Country he claims to vice-president.
if that is the case, you have to talk to your people first because they started it.
Real Nigga Preach
Well explained,

Eze. The reason why you are a human being is your capacity to change your world. If you are dissatisfied with the status quo you change it. I thought red cap was synonymous with wisdom.
Oga commissioner, u cannot take away tribe and religion from politics, even in US, Carson a presidential candidate says in debate that muslim will never be US president
You are talking to yourself,the last people one should trust are complex tribalists that practice double religion,the always exhibit Double Morals.
The church is not helping. Known churches are not speaking against tribalism.
But you won your election based on tribalism, religion and profession.
Good speech.
~D great anonymous!
