An open letter to the Motherland 🇳🇬

Proverbs  14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When right values and standards are in place,progress is inevitable. A community that breeds selfishness thrives on each living for himself which has never been in God's agenda for the purpose of  man, and when purpose is defeated, abuse and misuse is clearly inevitable. The scripture above says "Righteousness exalts a nation...", how true this is, what does He mean by 'Righteousness' in this context, 'Righteousness' here means right standards, right values, right principles. A nation can never grow on wrong principles, no matter the amount of prayer prayed for a nation, without the right standards, stagnancy is certain.

In light of the celebration of Nigeria's Independence day, the message to everyone is crystal clear, each man must live a selfless life , give no room to selfishness. Are you a Policeman, why don't you respect the core of your profession by protecting the citizens from criminals rather than harming the same citizens you're to protect. Are you a politician? Refrain from telling lies to the people to gain power, a nation you destroy will definitely have a repercussion on your generation. Are you a worker? Do your work without eye service, refrain from inflating figures just to your advantage,treat people nicely, don't be a worker who is power-drunk because you hold a reputable position. Are you one who owes those who work for you?You shouldn't have people work for you, and you owe them intentionally, oh no, you're definitely one of the problems of Nigeria. Nigeria will only get better when Nigerians get better. Nigeria is what Nigerians make of it. Happy Independence Day Nigeria!!!🇳🇬 God loves you and wants you to grow.

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
