SACRIFICE OF LOVE

SACRIFICE OF LOVE

1 Kings 3 v 16 - 28.

The above verses talked about the wisdom of King Solomon but I am not writing about the wisest man whoever lived but about the sacrifice and love of a mother. Verse 26 reads; “Please don’t kill my son,” the baby’s mother screamed. “Your Majesty, I love him very much, but give him to her. Just don’t kill him.”


It shows the love, care and affection of one who will sacrifice the joy of motherhood to see her son live even if she won't be able to lay claims to him.

I don't care about APC or PDP. I also don't give a hoot about GEJ or GMB. All I care about is the peace of my nation Nigeria. I am tired of the back and forth cursing by supporters of the two main presidential aspirants. It is like supporters of two clubs exchanging blows because Team A won. It is pure insanity.

The situation is even now so bad that ominous signs of what to come scare even the angels. I believe anyone who loves and cares for us should be willing to sacrifice their personal ambitions for the peace and growth of Nigeria.

These madness must stop. Nigeria is greater than the sum of GEJ and GMB put together. The 1960s witnessed continuous competitions between the then political gladiators and their unwillingness to make sacrifices led to the 1966 coups and then the Civil War but it seems we learnt nothing from HISTORY.

Please I beg again and again. Our focus should be on the good and peace of Nigeria. Whoever wins should be accepted and we should look at a government of national unity - imagine a Fashola on GEJ's cabinet or Adesina on Buhari's. It should not be about the 2 gladiators but the rest of the 170 million Nigerians.

The main question now is who will be willing and ready to sacrifice their ambition for our peace? Do we sacrifice our unity and peace for the ambitions of 2?

Please make your choices and cast your votes for whoever you desire but do not curse, do not lift a stone or gun for anyone. Let the peace of God reign in Nigeria. Amen.

God bless Nigeria.

NIGERIA: CITADEL OF CRAZE

-
Nigeria is described as the most populous black nation. It is often said that one in every five black men living is a Nigerian and this comes with some boastful territory but what you won't  hear is that Nigeria is a madhouse. A base of impunity and the fountain of corruption. How do you explain a people who personify greed and gullibilty? How do you describe a nation that exhorts religion above righteousness? A  nation where persons of low moral values occupy our highest offices? Pastors and Imams line their pockets with riches stolen from our commonwealth and then look away when the rulers suck and lick us dry. Then they mount their cursed pulpits and spew out hatred. The pastors remind us of how we should not be easily yoked with unbelievers while the imams propagate and reemphasise the need to behead infidels.  Imagine their retinue of security personnel. Yet they claim God is their defence. I have come to see religion and politics as Siamese twins. ...

THE JUDICIARY IS OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM

-
Seems we are forgetting one thing and that is that our greatest problem is not really the executive but the "JUDICIARY". How do you explain a man charged to court with over 100 charges and a "right thinking" Judge quashes all and declares the accused innocent when even the devil will take the stand against the accused. Also, you see cases dragging  on for years when there are no tangible reasons for this. With a stronger Judiciary we will make greater progress to our desire to "annihilate" corruption. I am more than convinced that if we have judges who are upright and will not tell us "my hands are tied", we will walk into our Canaan. The executive has done well to introduce EFCC and other related agencies (whether with good intentions or not), it is now the turn of the judiciary to sit up or be shipped out.  Also, the religious leaders will do well to stop recognising the thieves under the pretext of "God asking us to pray for our ...

The gods of men

-
Nigeria's is increasingly populated by a 'specie' that infests our psychological, sociological and mental environments.  We deify men and equate them to gods, all in our confusion and mis-education. We forget that God is not a man that He should lie, whereas these tin-gods lie through their teeth.  They have capitalized on our greed, illiteracy and gullibility to play on our desire to worship God. We have allowed their greed to decimate our sense of reasoning and deprived us of our humanity. For a “pot of soup”, we sell our nation into perpetual war and feel the essence of living is the accumulation of wealth. We have lost our sensibility and given in to reprobate minds in our endless thirst and lust for riches. Where did we miss the way? How  long off track have we gone? These are questions I seek answers for. For me, we missed our way the moment when men of God or is it gods of men, began to see religion as an industry (a very lucrative one for that matter) then w...
