What happened to us?

-

I thought by now, my country would have been an envy amongst the comity of nations. But no, we are only a shadow of what we are supposed to be. Simply because our  leaders are leapers who lack what it takes to go far.

 Instead of propelling the country into prosperity and development, they have turned the country into a wagon for self promotion and aggrandizement.

I am also dazed at the kind of people we Nigerians are. A people whose resilience has gradually become foolishness. Is it not unimaginable that thesame oppressed masses are the first to condemn and criticise anyone who rises in their defence? We are like the proverbial slaves who love their chains. We are a people very good at suffering and smiling.  We are a people whom once we have enough for ourselves and our families we are no longer concerned about the millions of others who have nothing and are dying in penury and poverty.

Tell me, What is the fate of a country who would invest lavishly in fun and entertainment instead of human capital development. Help me ask that senator who has 30 million to throw on BBN, how much he has invested on science and technological research and development in this country.



I love Nigeria and i am pained that we are still here. My prayer on this 59th celebration of Nigeria's independence is that God should make us truly independent.

Indepedent and free from the power of Greed,
Independent and free from the power of corruption,
Independent and free from the power of the occult.
Independent and free from Nepotism and tribalism.
Independent and free from foolishness.

O God save Nigeria. O GOD HEAL OUR LAND.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION NIGERIA

If you read open heavens devotional of 3 rd November 2016, then, this is no news to you, but don’t rush out because there’s yet something new in these for you. But if you didn’t, then, these writs are fully yours for the taken. Pastor E. Adeboye in that devotional titled “Matrimonial Robber” wrote extensively and bluntly on one of the vices plaguing our society today. A vice that is so common and popular, that it has become a norm; Deadly, yet selling. The alarming divorce rates; the emotional injuries here and there; the disappointments, frustrations and lack of fulfillment in many lives owe to this vice. Here it is:

HE LIED TO HER.

 From the beginning, woman has been the first and easy target of Satan’s subtlety and lies. In the garden of Eden, He said to the woman: “hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” With just this question, he extracted a most vital information from her and presented to her a lie. That old serpent, the devil, shattered the truth of God’s word right in the face of the woman.   …And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die, for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (Gen 3:4-5)
