Spiritual head of One Love Family,
Sat Guru Maharaj Ji says the best way to tackle the Boko Haram menace in the
country is for us to go back to our traditions and culture. In an interview
with City People this week, Maharaj Ji said the intervention of the
international community was a welcomed idea and that it would make the fight
against Boko Haram a lot easier because unlike Nigerians, the foreigners know
that there is a Christ of this age, that is him (Maharaj Ji), walking on the
planet and so carrying him along in the fight would bring a stop to acts
of terrorism. Read more...
Asked what his take is on the
present state of insecurity in Nigeria, Maharaj Ji said;
"Very simple. Because there is
no security challenge per say, except for the fact that the Northern oligarchy
believes Nigeria belongs to them. They don't believe in anybody whether you are
from the South-South, South-East or South-West. They feel that Nigeria is an
Hausa country and it is not, we have three regions. We have major tribes.
Yoruba in the South-West, Ibo in the South-East, then the South-South the Ijaws
etc. The North must accept that Ibo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo...we are
all one Nigeria, that is what is worrying them. Then again, religion. They
should know that God has no religion. The only religion of God is accepting you
the way you are. If I don't accept you, how will the place be okay for us?
He also spoke on the assistance
being rendered to Nigeria by the international community, saying there is no
shame is asking for help
"There is no problem asking for
what you need if you don't have it. No country has exclusive power over
improvement in technology. There is no how under the present conditions
Nigerians should fear asking the Americans for help or the British or the
Germans. If there is going to be any fear, it is still going to be from the
north. At the beginning, our fathers just gave in like that, but this time, we
are not going to give in, no more. The only solution to Boko Haram menace is
for us to go back to our traditions and culture. This time we have to go into
tradition and culture to find the real ideal power to be able to sort or
mediate and get things sorted out. People should not be afraid. They are going
to assist. They are going to help and I know that. If I look at it from the
higher point of view, it is time for them too to come and tap from the special
grace from Nigeria because they unlike our people know that there is a Christ
of this age walking on planet earth and so this situation is for them to carry
him along so that all these up and downs, crises in all these places could
actually stop" he said.
Sat Guru Maharaj Ji also spoke on
the Super Eagles going for the World Cup. He said they can win the World cup
only if they stay away from wearing blue pants throughout the competition
"I have given my recommendations and I don't know how Nigerians
feel about it. I have told them that they can win this cup if they stop using
blue jersey. They have accepted but what about blue pants? They should do away
with it. Keshi must inspect all the pants they are wearing. I am begging them
throughout this competition, its a national affair and not Super Eagles of
Lagos but Super Eagles of Nigeria" he said
