The Throne Room Parish, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Abuja has called on Nigerians to shun selfishness and sentiment as Nigeria marks its 59th Independence Anniversary on October 1st.
The Parish priest, Pastor Tunde Benjamins-Laniyi who made the call during a Church service in Abuja, said lack of love for country is hindering national growth and should be discouraged in all quarters.
The Cleric added that prayer and fasting as well as love for the country were imperative to guarantee national development.
He urged Nigerians, particularly Christians, to emulate the children of Israel, who even while in captivity, did not give up on their nation.
