Nigerians in the Diaspora Organization (NIDO), Singapore chapter, have urged their compatriots not to give up hope on their fatherland but work in unity to move the nation forward.

The president of NIDO-Singapore, Birinengi Harry, gave the advice at a virtual conference, stating that Nigeria, like any other country in the world, has peculiar challenges.

He admonished Nigerians to work closely together to achieve desired goals in order to make the country great again.

“Do not despair, every industrialized nation passed through different difficulties, but our similarities far outweigh our differences,” Harry said.

“There are indeed deep-seated differences among the Singapore and China close to us, but I believe they equally went through difficult times before they became this great.”

He pleaded with Nigerians at home to have hope and rewrite the nation’s story.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has said that it is not recruiting, urging the general public to disregard information circulating on social media that the corporation was recruiting.

The corporation disclosed this in a statement signed by its spokesman, Garba Deen Muhammad, in Abuja, on Sunday.

“This is to inform the public that the information circulating on the Social Media that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is conducting a recruitment exercise IS NOT TRUE and the public should disregard it in its entirety.

“Whenever NNPC decides to conduct a recruitment exercise, it will announce this to the public through authentic public communication channels, including the NNPC’s website.

”Once again, the NNPC is not recruiting,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had in August announced the promotion and redeployment of some staff to fill vital vacant positions in the corporation.

The corporation disclosed that the appointments and redeployments were to strengthen and reposition the NNPC towards attaining global excellence and profitability.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye is confident that Nigeria’s security challenges will end soon.

Pastor Adeboye said this in his monthly first Sunday telecast streamed on the church’s social media platforms.

“Very soon, all the acts of terrorism, all the acts of banditry, all kinds of evil actions will come to end,” the revered cleric noted, citing the book of 1 Samuel 17.

The preacher who captioned his sermon, “Divine Involvement”, admitted that though Nigeria is facing challenges in some areas, with divine intervention, the situation will change.

“When God is involved with a nation, He can solve a national crisis overnight,” Pastor Adeboye added while pinning his assertion on Exodus 14 verses 1-31.

“When God speaks, it is done. When He sends a word of prophecy, you can be sure that as soon it is gone out, it is settled,” Pastor Adeboye further noted.

Aside from security issues, the cleric also attributed the reduced impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the country to God’s help.

According to him, while several individuals and international bodies had predicted doom for Africa, especially Nigeria, the nation was spared.

“One very great scientist and I were discussing not very long ago and he said, ‘The fact of what had happened [COVID-19] with Nigeria showed that there must be something here that is not anywhere else’,” he added.

“When the Lord is involved in the affairs of a nation, He will protect the people from the pandemic,” said the 79-year-old.
