WHAT NIGERIA DO WE WANT!?

WHAT NIGERIA DO WE WANT!?

Suddenly everyone is pointing accusing finger at INEC. The thing we always love to do. Yes, INEC has a blame. But INEC didn't burn its offices, did they?

So who burnt INEC office in Abia? Nigerians!
Who burnt INEC office in Plateau? Nigerians!
Who burnt INEC office in Anambra? Nigerians!

The way we destroy our facilities and blame government.

Every time, i hear people say, "God has been unkind to us by giving us bad leaders." Some would lament on social media saying, "I regret being a Nigerian."

Nigerian leaders didn't grow from the trees; they aren't Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). They were born and grew up in our families, neighbourhood and society. They are products of our society and as such they are a reflection of what and who we are.

Corruption is not perpetuated by one person. Corruption occurs largely between a giver and a taker. Who gives and collect bribes in public institutions? You and I! Who is that petrol attendant that tampered with petrol dispenser metres and shortchange customers? You and I. Who sits on contract files and create bottlenecks in public institutions? You and I Who horde fuels and create artificial scarcity? You and I! Who import prohibited goods and services across borders? You and I! Who are used as political thugs? You and I! Our misbehaviours are endless.

How then do we expect Nigeria to develop? How do expect a Nigeria of our dream if misbehaviours that are inimical to economic and national development are legion with us? Few months ago i saw an harsh tag, "#BringBackOurCorruption." I was shocked and speechless. Any nation of people which sows corruption reaps corruption - backwardness and underdevelopment. This has been the story and outcome of Nigeria till this day!

INEC postponement of elections is just one part of the elections problems. Those Nigerians who burnt down its offices in Plateau, Abia and Anambra. INEC is as guilty as those who has been spreading fake news and in the process heating up the polity unnecessarily, those threatening to go to war and those who want to put people in bodybags are as guilty as INEC. These are all Nigerians!

Are you not worried about our pretences? Religious people everywhere but full of sins and misbehaviours. Churches and mosques everywhere but poverty and backwardness are their result. Of what value is religion if we live in sins, wickedness, poverty and backwardness? See Buddhist and Atheist countries like China, Singapore, Netherlands, etc. They know no Bible and Quran yet they are more Christlike and Mohammed-like than Nigeria, the country of Christianity and Islam, prophets, pastors and Imams. Christ and Muhammed will be ashamed of us wherever they are in heaven.

The Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, has been so kind to us as a people and a nation. Hardly is there a country so blessed as Nigeria. HE gave us everything that we required to build a great nation. But we are our own failure and underdevelopment.

Today, God has yet again given us a reason for sober reflection by the postponement of the general elections by one week. Instead of ventilating and sharing your sadness and disappointment on social media, i enjoin all of you who deeply and genuinely love this country to reflect on this: What kind of country do you want?

if we desire a great country, we must behave a great people. Only great people make a great nation. Corrupt, unpatriotic, indisciplined, lying people and other negative vices do not make a great country.

Reflect on these and vote for a candidate of high integrity, moral and honesty.

God bless Nigeria!
