Bishop Asaju compared Nigerians to the Israelites in the bible who sinned against God, but obtained His mercy upon repentance.  According to him, ‘the major implication of the theme of this meeting is that Nigeria has sinned like the Israel did and Nigeria is being bitten by several economic, political and spiritual serpents.
