Chief Of Defense Staff sends warning message to Nigerians after Northern children cursed Tinubu, stoned his picture

Gen. Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), has issued a caution to Nigerians who are cursing President Bola Tinubu, stating that they need to understand the strength and effectiveness of spoken words.

With hunger and misery on the rise, a video of several northern children cursing Tinubu and stoning his photo went viral. This prompted CDS Musa to issue a caution.

Musa said that for Nigeria to move forward, its citizens must have hope for their country, even as they defied the leaders’ curse.

He said this during a one-day conference with the theme “Civil-Military Relations: Non-kinetic Efforts of the Nigerian Military in Security Management, Challenges and Prospects,” organized by the Defence Correspondents Association of Nigeria (DECAN) at the Army Resource Center in Abuja.

In his words: “There must be a nation before you can even discuss it, and that is very critical. Sometimes, I find it very hard to understand when I hear Nigerians speaking evil about their country.

“We all know as Africans that there’s power in the word. What you say means a lot. We must learn how to be positive about our country. That’s the only way we can be productive.

“We have seen countries, most countries, it’s not like they don’t have issues, but they don’t put their own problems in the forefront like we do, and that is what is affecting us as individuals.

“So, it’s important that we must take ownership of our country. We must wish our country well and our leaders well. When they err, let us call them to question and proffer solution.”

The defence chief further said: “It’s not just negative criticism. Every day, you are insulting; you are abusing. You are calling God to punish.

“No, you cannot kill your country because you feel it is just that you feel like that. You don’t grow a country with such an attitude.

“There must be a nation before you can even discuss it, and that is very critical. Sometimes, I find it very hard to understand when I hear Nigerians speaking evil about their country.”

In the meantime, a widely shared video depicts children from the north cursing and stoning the portrait of President Bola Tinubu. It also shows them demolishing the vice president, Kashim Shettima image.
