ABUJA \u2013 Former Head of State, Chief Ernest Shonekan, said weekend that it was unfortunate that Nigerians pretend to be the follower of Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed but shamelessly enjoy acts contrary to their teachings.<\/p>\n

Shonekan, who spoke at the third\u00a0 session of the first\u00a0 synod of St. Luke\u2019s Anglican Church, Sundaba, Kuje, Abuja, insisted that passing the buck would not make the country move forward, but doing the right things at the right time.<\/p>\n

He said:\u00a0 \u201cAre we true to the faith wherever we find ourselves; one of the things I have never ceased to be amazed of in Nigeria is how those who claim to believe in Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed, as the case may be, shamelessly relish in doing things that both Jesus and Prophet Mohammed would never approved of.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it about corruption which I alluded to earlier or about not doing the work for which you are paid, whether in terms of quality, timeless, etc? Is it about tolerance of plurality? All around us, the omens are very depressing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bishop of Kubwa Diocese Anglican Communion Rt, Revd. Duke Akamisoko, said the potential endowments of the people of Nigeria, despite its diverse and infinite nature, had witnessed nothing but under-utilization as a result of indolence, negligence and adverse government policies.<\/p>\n

Akamisoko said people lost zeal to harness their potentials for maximum economic benefit, consequence of anti-masses policies, adding that \u201cour leaders have taught us to be lazy\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
