Compatriots Arise

Nigeria got independence but there is no gain saying that we are still dependent. We kept quenching wild fire of war and violence in other countries yet we are victims of violence and war. A land blessed with an army of workforce but struggling to pay their wages for many months, leaving them and their families to suffer.

Our economic growth which was acclaimed to be the best in Africa seems to be just a newspaper headline with no proof. How do we prove this? By economic development. Growth and development are two different things yet inter connected. The effect of growth is development, which is, the infrastructures we have, the per capital income of an household, the quality of education and health care system we have etc. So, can we then say we have literally grown economically?

Nigeria is bleeding within and without with everyone promising to help but with no concise action. The disease called 'Boko-Haram' has been ravaging the country and it seems we won't get a cure for it. This disease and many other 'infections' has been destroying lives and properties. It has destroyed our peace. Even our places of worship are no longer safe, many have died worshipping their God. Some have been kidnapped or better still 'adult-napped'. Many even slept and didn't wake up the following day not because of anything but because they were burnt to death.

Nigeria’s shores are deserted by investors. No one including you would want to invest in a place where you and your investments are not safe.  We are now a tourist desertion instead of tourist attraction. How long will this continue with Nigeria? And then you seem not to be concerned. Could it be because you're sleeping and waking with your two eyes closed while others can't even close one eye at all? You go to work safely, while others are scared of leaving their house and even staying in the house is not safe.

 Can you please awake from your slumber and pray. The country is now a case study of rape, kidnapping which is actually adult -napping, robbery etc. Why wait till you be a victim before you pray for your nation. Our leaders seems not to know which direction to go after 30 days in office. And then you sit down complaining, criticising and condemning  when you can simply just ask for wisdom for these leaders. Wisdom to lead, wisdom to direct the course of this nation.  Wisdom, they say is profitable to direct. I can go on and on to tell you the predicament and pitiable state of this nation but let me stop here, you know more than i've said, because everything happening is visible and audible for you to see and hear.

All this nation needs from you is just 5min of prayer everyday and that you encourage someone to do same. Pray for Peace, stability, progress, development and wisdom for our leaders.  Pray that the Boko-Haram 'disease' and other 'infections' killing our people will come to an end and pray for the healing of our land.

It's your nation and it's mine also, lets lift our voice daily as we pray knowing fully well God answers prayers.

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

Break New Grounds

Happy new week! As you set out for activities this new week, I want to challenge you to break new grounds and do something different.  Dare to be different. Do something better than the way you’ve been doing it. Someone once said, if people knew what they had to do to be successful, most people wouldn't. Don’t be scared of taking new adventures or trying something new. Many of us know what we need to do to come out with distinctions, be the best employee, be a successful entrepreneur, the best spouse or make a relationship to work. Even we know what to do to have a glorious relationship with God. If we know, then, why wait a little longer? Why procrastinate? Yours might be that you just like to do and follow what every other person is doing. You enjoy moving with the crowd. You are always moving by what others do or do not. Let me echo this to your ears that the man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. And the man who walks alone is likely to fin...
