Guru Maharaj Ji, the founder of the One Love Family Sect, has called on Nigerians to reconnect with their culture and tradition in order to curtail the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Guru Maharaj Ji made the call on Sunday while addressing newsmen during a forum to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the opening of Maharaj Ji village on the Ibadan-Lagos expressway.
The sect leader said that the best way to combat COVID-19 in Africa, particularly Nigeria, was through culture and tradition.
“In the past, all the various forms of diseases were combated through cultural and traditional cures. The black race must wake up.
“Naturally our culture and tradition are now at the back stage. All we need to do is to reconnect and recognise our traditional rulers.
“Any society that disconnects from its culture and tradition to make money is bound to face several challenges,” he said.
He said that foreign diseases now infect Nigerians because they had abandoned their tradition and subjected themselves to foreign control.
MaharajJi said the Ife-Modakeke crisis was resolved through the use of 17 yam tubers, water, salt honey and calabash as sacrifices to various deities in the land.
The sect leader, who called on the government to release more money to the people, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to also boost the capacity of Nigerians, particularly students, in combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have to ensure adequate provision of social amenities, sound security network and conducive environment for the economy to thrive,” he said.
He also recommended that all equipment and food items coming from Europe and other countries be quarantined for six months.
Maharaj Ji expressed optimism of a stronger and more viable Nigeria after the COVID-19 pandemic.
