Former Military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has been mandated to render a public apology to all Nigerians for bringing "divine curse upon" the nation when his regime severed diplomatic relations with the nation of Israel in 1973. Some prominent clerics described the decision as the height of spiritual shortsightedness that smacked of disrespect for divine
instruction in the Holy Bible, which says that all nations of the world will be blessed through Israel and that whoever blesses or curses Israel will attract blessings or curses, accordingly.
They said that such antagonism against Israel is tantamount to flouting the law of God and only opened channels for the woes subsequent governments brought upon Nigerians through bad governance. The Senior Pastor of God’s Kingdom Christian Centre, Dr. John Kome, said: “Gowon should apologise for severing diplomatic ties with Israel.” Kome said that by his action, Gowon flouted divine words that “those who sever relations with Israel also severs relationship with the God of
Israel.” He added: “Although successive governments may have revised the situation, Nigeria may not have publicly
acknowledged the severity of the Divine Decree and as well publicly offer an official remark to that intent. We must realise how God works. You may take His Decrees for granted and consequently suffer for years until such individual, people or nation acknowledges the supremacy of His word.” Speaking in the same vein, the Presiding Minister of Motailatu Church of God, Lagos Headquarters, Rev. James Akinadewo, insisted that any country where God’s laws are broken with impunity will be under a curse.
