VICE President, Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday, restated that pervasive corruption remained the major problem that country must be saved from, calling on well-meaning Nigerians to be irresolute in fighting corruption wherever they found themselves.
Noting that it was not unexpected for corruption to fight back, Osinbajo said regardless the opposition, attacks, the President Muhammadu Bulari led administration and all Nigerians must be ready to contend with the forces of corruption that gripped the nation.
This was contained in Osinbajo’s charge at Sunday’s service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Jesus Embassy Parish, Ibadan.

He likened the battle against corruption to the fact that Satan would usually resist and fight everything good, productive and fruitful in any individual’s life.
Consequently, he charged Nigerians, especially youths, to shun making comments and making comments on social media, but be keen to investigate information they get and get involved in driving the needed change in the country.
“If you are waiting for God to come down and change our nation, we will die in famine and hunger. This is because God has equipped you and I with everything to make a difference.
“No change happens overnight. In fact, when you want to be fruitful, productive, work in your destiny, the first thing you encounter is resistance of the devil.
“Everything that is good, Satan wants to resist you, wants to fight you, let alone you want to change a nation. You want to fight corruption. There is nothing they won’t do, there is nothing they won’t say just to make sure you don’t get there.
“Even in a small office where they are taking bribe, and you say no, you are already the enemy of everybody and there is nothing they won’t do to take you out of the place because you are light in the place.
“You do something, people criticize you and ask if it will ever work. I ask them to calm down. We are here by the power of God and with a mandate, so we cannot fail.
“Don’t let us be deceived, don’t let us lose focus, our country needs to be saved from corruption, mainly. The major problem in our country is corruption. Nigerians are hardworking, but everywhere you look, you see corruption. Once you fight it, they will fight you back bitterly, in every possible way.
“But you must be ready to contest in that space, you must be ready. It is pervasive and you must fight it because it is righteousness that exalts a nation. The only way we can be exalted as a nation is through righteousness and you and I have to enforce righteousness.
“No matter what anybody says, no matter the attack, you must fight corruption. We are salt, and a little quantity is enough. Nothing happens overnight. When you want to be fruitful, productive, the first thing one encounters is resistance,” Osinbajo said.
In his exhortation, Assistant Pastor, RCCG, Oyo Province 21, Pastor Jide Ojurongbe harped on the need for people to be fruitful so as to be responsible to their families, communities and the nation at large.
The service was attended by men of God to include Pastor Charles Obasa, Pastor Wale Popoola, Pastor Segun Olatunji and President, Christian Association of Nigeria, Oyo State, Pastor Benjamin Akanmu.

*From the desk of Reno Omokri the master of facts.*
1. One of the achievements in the @MBuhari Next Level campaign document is that they increased power from 4000 megawatts in 2015 to 7000 megawatts today. But how can you increase power without building even one single new power station? Retweet if you know this is a #NextLevelLies
2. One of the achievements in the @MBuhari campaign document is the Mambilla hydro power plant. But that plant is an @OfficialPDPNig project by @GEJonathan. Dont take my word for it. @Google it. They have no achievements so they lie. Retweet if you know this is a lie #NextLevelLies
3. Another achievement in the @MBuhari campaign document is the 700 MW Zungeru power plant. But that plant is an @OfficialPDPNig project by @GEJonathan. Don’t take my word for it. @Google it. They have no achievements so they lie. Retweet if you know this is a lie #NextLevelLies
4. The @MBuhari campaign document lists job creation as achievement! Even @SGYemiKale, head of NBS was on Twitter to complain that they have not given him funds to release this year’s job numbers. 11 million Nigerians lost their jobs. Retweet if you know it is a lie #NextLevelLies
5. Another achievement in @MBuhari’s campaign document is the creation of “a fairer and more equitable society”. Yet ALL the intelligence agencies are headed by Northern Muslim men. Not one SE person heads a security agency. Retweet if you know this is another big #NextLevelLies
6. The next achievement in @MBuhari’s campaign document is that “we lay the foundation for a star and prosperous nation”.Yet Nigeria was officially named the world headquarters for extreme poverty under Buhari. Retweet if you know this is another one of @fkeyamo’s big #NextLevelLies
7. Another @FKeyamo lie in @Mbuhari’s campaign document is the claim that “We implemented a responsible and transparent fiscal plan”. Yet Ibe Kachikwu’s leaked memo revealed NNPC awarded $25 billion contracts without due process. Retweet if you know it is another big #NextLevelLies
8. The biggest @FKeyamo lie in @Mbuhari’s campaign document is the claim they reduced rice importation by 90%.. Nigeria is now the WORLD’s SECOND LARGEST RICE IMPORTER after China. Our rice imports increased by 30%. @Google it. Retweet if you know this is another big #NextLevelLies
9. @FKeyamo’s lies of @MBuhari achievements claims they have improved healthcare. They improved healthcare so much that Buhari lived in London for half of 2017 and @AishaMBuhari complained of no paracetamol in @AsoRock clinic. Retweet if you know this is another big #NextLevelLies
10. Their Next Level campaign document claims they stabilised the economy, yet, Bloomberg named the Naira under @MBuhari as the fourth worst performing currency on earth. Please don’t take my word. Google it. Retweet if you know this is another big #NextLevelLies
11. @FKeyamo’s Next Level document praises @MBuhari’s economic plan. Is Keyamo an economist? @BillGates traveled to @AsoRock and told Buhari face to face that ‘Your economic plan does not meet the needs of Nigerians’. Google it! Retweet if you know this is another big #NextLevelLies
12. Can you imagine how low and shameless @FKeyamo and co are. They advertise the so called WAEC ‘certificate’ given to @Mbuhari as an achievement! Look at how stupid they think you are. Look at what they have reduced Nigeria to. Retweet if you know this is another big #NextLevelLies
13. The latest news is that satan is preparing a special award of recognition for @FKeyamo and all those who put together the lying contraption called @MBuhari’s Next Level campaign document. They can lie for Africa! Retweet if you know the next level is just a big fat #NextLevelLies
14. How did Nigeria get to the point where a President arranges a special Dinner Ceremony and Thanksgiving to celebrate a WAEC ‘Certificate’? I guess when you have no achievements to celebrate, you end up celebrating your ‘certificate’! Retweet to reject this #NextLevelLies
Hahahaha, brother Yemi, really?
