Tell me who is not tired of the humdrum life in Nigeria .
The bustle and din of city and communal life that hitherto evoked smiles in people’s faces , have evaporated to the oblivion in Nigeria .
You may ask :
What are we living for , in the absence of happiness and the good things of life , especially now hunger had taken the center stage of our stressful and challenging lives ?
So sad , to recall the unfortunate phenomena in Nigeria .
What’s life without food, power of electricity, good roads , functional hospitals, sound communication network, steady means of livelihood, efficient justice system , bloodless politics and good government, all of which have become part of our checkered history ?
Think about it :
If you’re giving a choice to reconsider your Nigerian Citizenship, what would you do and if possible, where would you emigrate and migrate ?
Did God make a mistake creating us Nigerians ?
I don’t think so .
He did us a lot of favors, giving us everything we need to become like other great nations, as the United States, etc , but the enemy in our humanity, that grew out like Frankenstein Monsters in our politicians polluted God’s good plans and impeccable endowments and messed up the entire purpose of living in unity , one nation under God .
We got it wrong with our defective faculties and lack of sense of humor and mission and failure to understand and appreciate God’s inimitable goodness to us .
He gave us what He denied other nations.
That’s why His Judgment and looming Justice on Nigeria and Nigerians, would be exemplary, eschatological and infinite to bear .
Go and ask other nations that dared God and find out how they feel today under our peculiar and respective circumstances .
Woe unto nations that ignore , defy , play and mock God .
The entity called Nigeria is dead for now , until the contrary is proved .
As was seen in Book of Ezekiel, by God’s Spirit and not by might or power, dry bones can still be alive again . He Who raised the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, has the power to give life and strength to our mortal bodies and our nation’s immobile corporate existential structure .
There’s no functional democratic government in Nigeria from all indicative ramifications .
There are no God-fearing political rulers at the moment in Nigeria.
Nigerians are treated as guinea pigs and worthless chattels , of no value due to the meanness , wickedness and recklessness of their political rulers , who lack the vision, capacity, wisdom and fear of God to shun corruption , do right and improve the lot of the suffering population .
Political loots of politicians run into billions and trillions, with the nation’s wealth in the hands of private unproductive individuals, who are everything but patriotic , leaving Nigeria bankrupt and badly damaged beyond rescue .
No one wants to work , serve and die for Nigeria, because patriotism is also dead and Nigerians consider it too foolish to do so for a country and government that hardly cares and protects the people from hunger , bandits, terrorists, criminals , traitors, human traffickers, organ harvesters , other violent social miscreants and wolves of human nature .
What a former a nation which’s now a ghost of its former self, that started as a fraudulent contraption by the former British colonial master, who remained bent in sucking Nigeria dry , until this poor nation slipped into coma , and left as carcasses to be scrambled for, by soulless corrupt politicians, whose consciences are dead and who continued to rape her and fight until this unfortunate pariah State is no more .
We commit Nigeria into God’s hands and await His response to our pleas for mercy, justice and forgiveness , knowing that His Judgment and Justice will prevail ultimately and never spare those who maliciously and viciously abused and destroyed the country, for their own selfish desires .
Nigeria is God’s precious heritage and no one has better claim of ownership to Nigeria than God Almighty , Who owns us , Nigeria and the entire universe .
Who will save Nigeria, besides God Almighty, whose supremacy over all things , has all takes to save us from ourselves ?
While doing our part , without wasting the opportunity , talents and innumerable gifts He gave us for our own good , we must decide whether we are ready and prepared to be saved .
It’s a personal and collective decision we must make, by safeguarding our lives and place in history, to avoid had I known .
It’s useless trying to understand Nigeria and Nigerians, because of the good, the bad and the ugly part of our existence and co-existence .
We’re responsible for our fate in Nigeria, now we’re lying down on our beds as we made them .
We’re reaping what we sowed .
God is not to blame for our misfortunes of bad rulership, burdens , curses and unspeakable hardships .
Life in Nigeria is no longer at ease .
When we want peace , stable democracy and good government, we must strive to achieve and pursue our aspirations, dreams and goals to conclusion .
No Justice, No peace !
Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable .
Nigerians are no fools , despite their docility, gullibility and elasticity of patience .
When they mean to have their political will to be done , nobody will stop them . I mean nobody !
The fact is that, they have not meant it yet , until they make up their minds with undiluted determination . That’s indeed what God is waiting for , to be drawn into our own battle for the soul of Nigeria .
God Emmanuel is still with Nigeria, regardless of the leadership and political woes of her political rulers , who spend their entire lifetime, playing politics with the wellbeing of the people .
As God forewarned Los Angeles in the State of California of the United States, before allowing wildfires from above to rain on it with unprecedented destruction and carnage, bringing to nothing prideful earthly possessions of victims of His wrath , so also political rulers of nations and states and those presently basking in blazes of self glory, may some day await their own baptism of fire, if they continue the way they are today, without the fear of God and true repentance .
Does anyone think that God is joking in our own time ?
No , God is no longer joking , as few pious Nigerians call for His justice , intervention, wrath and reprisals against atrocities perpetrated against the weak and the innocent .
God’s time is the best and He will respond when He wills.
Let’s use the brevity of our days and sojourn on earth , to make appropriate choices and intelligent use of the opportunities and gifts He gave us, before it’s too late .
May God save us and save Nigeria.🙏
The above are inspired thoughts and emotions recollected in tranquility on our fast dying and decaying nation ,Nigeria, hoping and looking forward to her miraculous transformation and return to godliness and gracious humanity, which concern us now we can make good use of our senses and opportunities left to us by God Almighty and Grand Commander of the Universe .
