STATE OF EMERGENCY ON THE NIGERIAN VALUE SYSTEM!

We live in a country where we respect thieves and looters. The source of a man's wealth is not scrutinized. We worship and honour thieves especially if they are politicians. I need to speak to my Igbo people from the east, it is more common to find people in that part of the country worshipping fradulent people because of money, many times ill gotten wealth. But it is even spreading to other parts of the country now. Every Nigerian youth wants to be in entertainment. They do not value enterprise anymore. Nobody is willing to start small and grow to become big. Everybody wants quick money.
But true and lasting success take time. First you plant the seed, then you water it and allow it to grow to maturity. Not only does this kind of success give you peace of mind, in the final analysis of everything, it's the only kind of success that guarantees wholeness and completeness. Evil may seem to triumph now but it's only for a short while.
It's so bad today that it is common to find people using the bible to justify evil. Even today, pastors collect tithe from and pray for thieves and prostitutes. They call it grace and find different bible quotations to encourage evil. But no matter how they try, even those who have become role models when they have no virtue in their lives would soon realize the futility of deceiving people with pretense of piousness.
I therefore urge you to continue to work hard and believe and wait for the right time to succeed because true success, the kind described in the holy scriptures is the only kind that gives you a truly fulfilled life.

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
