The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III has appealed to Nigerians to always pray for their leaders even in bad situations.

The Sultan made the appeal at the University of Ilorin on Thursday while speaking during a public lecture and book presentations in honour of Professor Is’haq Oloyede.

Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissiopn and Matriculation Board (JAMB) formally retired from the services of the University of Ilorin after attaining 70 years of age.

The books were titled, “Islamics, Scholarship and Service to Society, A Festschrift for Is-haq Oloyede”, and “Glimpses into the Giant: A Tapestry of Tributes to Prof. Is-haq Oloyede at 70”.

According to Sultan, Nigerians should stop the habit of cursing their leaders but pray for them no matter how bad the situation is.

“Don’t curse your leaders, no matter how bad they may be, but pray for them. Never talk ill of your leaders. Even if a leader is bad, pray for him. Don’t condemn your leaders no matter how bad they are”, he said.

The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), who was the chairman of the event, also charged Nigerians to encourage their leaders to perform optimally and not to castigate them all the time.

“I’m not saying that we don’t have problems, but when you begin to relegate or malign the country, I don’t know what you are portraying to the outside world.

“You may think you are doing them a favour but at the end of the day, they will show you the way out.

“I agree, however, that among us we have some bad eggs and it’s normal even in developed countries.

“So, what we need to do to minimise it, (because you can’t eradicate the situation) is to ensure that we put up a policy, behaviour, and activities that will discourage things that will inhibit development and respect for the country”, he added.

If he leads us in the prayer and provide menus after the praying sessions, people will pray ... While majority of them leaders are saying it to our eyes that , stop praying and work hard , stop being lazy and all they could say .....

Nigeria have rulers not leaders so that place doesn't apply to us.

Dont listen to this overdressed rabble rouser. He is part of the problem. We have been praying for these thieves all our lives and God has rightly refused to listen, because we are not doing enough to teach the thieving rulers the lesson of their lives. We should be confronting evil not praying for evil doers.

What we need to do now is to stop praying for a clan of evil kleptomaniacs who are desperate to loot everything in sight, and to start visiting them with the same amout of evil and wickedness that they have generously shown to us all these years through an avalanche of very wicked policies. Prayers should be forbm the Gods to help us teach them some lessons

The Gods are not dafts nor a they deaf. They know that these ones are irredeemable.

I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ give them knowledge wisdom and understanding, if they fail to use it father the curse that is stopping us from benefiting from Nigeria, may they not benefit from the loot in Jesus name from their generation to generation and everybody says?

Even God is tired of the prayers. Be less selfish and use your head.

Dem don settle you abi?

Can’t keep praying for people that want to end my life in this country.


I wish them the hardship they have meted out on Nigerians.

No hard feelings.

You can’t know, a lot of fraudulent things are going on lowkey.

If you are looking to start a Gadgets and Accessories business and you need contacts of legit suppliers of Uk used phones, laptops and accessories… reach out.

For how long are we going to keep praying for them?

If Nigerians aren't stupid why would someone ask them to pray for their oppressors?
But because these people don't rate Nigerians anymore that's why each day anyone can just come and drop one lamba and the press will give it milage. Otherwise, Nigerians should have taken back their country from these blood sucking demons parading as leaders.
He's saying all these because he's still getting his share of the national cake, if them stop to give him something now, he'll start wailing like every other person.

How can we pray for leaders who don't care about the people?
This is not the time to pray but the time to take drastic actions against the politicians.
