“All powerful and merciful father, you are the God of justice love and peace. You rule over all the Nations of Earth. Power and Might are in your hands and no one can withstand you. We present our country Nigeria before you. We praise and thank for you are the source of all we have and are. We are sorry for all the sins we have committed and for the good deeds we have failed to do.

In your loving forgiveness, keep us save from the punishment we deserve. Lord we are weighed down not only by uncertainties, but also by moral, economic and political problems. Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you.  God of infinite goodness, our strength in diversity, our health in weakness, our comfort in sorrow, Be merciful to us your people. Spare this nation Nigeria from chaos anarchy and doom. Bless us with your kingdom of justice, love and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen”.

Nigeria insecurity situation and media incitement

The insecurity state of Nigeria today has become a thing of great worry to the rest of the world. The menace of the Boko Haram group has become uncontrollable for the federal government. The President of Nigeria is now ‘incapacitated’ to handle the group and to arrest the awful situation since all the strategies he brought to arrest the problem have failed. The state governments have all resigned and submitted to the will and operations of Boko Haram and have ‘entered into their holes, since the ‘cat is out’. All these result  to the incessant killings of the innocent citizens of Nigeria everyday.

The fact exists that the situation is like this and that fear and tension has become the very companion of the average Nigerians who have fled from the very centres of Boko Haram operations to a self-house-arrest in their villas, wounded.

This situation has been on the hold until about two months ago when the operations of Boko Haram group became more intensive in the country. Reading the handwriting on the wall, one can say that the country is at the highest point of crisis and derange, and as such, needs an integral management and control. 

20th January bomb blast: Which way Nigeria?

“Which way Nigeria?

Which way Nigeria?

Which way to go?

I love my fatherland,

I want to know.

Which Nigeria is heeding to? 

Many years after independence,

 We still find it had to start,

How long shall we be patient

 Before we reach the promise land?

So let’s save Nigeria

So that Nigeria won’t die.

Every little thing that goes wrong

We start to blame the government,

We know that everything goes wrong

Because we are part of the government.

Let’s save Nigeria,

So that Nigeria won’t die.

Inefficiency and indiscipline

Is ruining the country now,

Corruption here and there everywhere,

Inflation is soaring high.

Let’s save Nigeria

So that Nigeria won’t die.

We make mistakes in oil boom,

Not knowing that this is our doom.

Some people have everything

While many have nothing,

Let’s save Nigeria

So that Nigeria won’t fall.

Our ambitions to be millonian

Is running the country down.

We all want to be millionias,

And to lead in the end.

Let’s save Nigeria

So that Nigeria won’t die.

Remember that a simple step,

Is the beginning of a million miles.

Let’s start now to rebuild ourselves,

So that we make the country smile.

Let’s save Nigeria

So that Nigeria won’t die.”

In 1977, a ‘prophetic Nigerian musician iconoclastic evangelist, Sonny Okosun in one of his albums “Which Way Nigeria” posed this rhetoric question which still applies to Nigeria in her present state of high rate of insecurity, disunity, confusion, educational decay, uncontrollable nature of corruption, lost of lives, to mention but a few.  35 years ago, Okosun did not know he was proposing a question for Nigeria in 2012.
