Psalms 82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
The recent days in Nigeria have been characterized by agitations and displeasure of all towards the heinous acts of the Police with the SARS(Special Anti-Robbery Squad) in focus. Well, God always has a a say in the affairs of men, and the scriptures above is one of such. God has always shown His intense displeasure for the maltreating of the poor, the helpless. Over time in Nigeria almost everyone who has had an ordeal with the Nigerian Police Force has been somewhat labelled 'helpless' due to the unjust brutality meted on the citizens without having a mode of fighting back. When officers of the law oppress the citizens, there really is no other law to help the citizens unless God, the Sovereign steps in and fights for them. Over time this has lingered until the audacity of Nigerians now spurred by the inability to endure anymore, hence this protests have created a massive movement. But, may I add to this, I feel we need more than a Police reform, I feel we need a Government revolution, the arms of Government for a very long time have been dormant of their intended reason for creation. Government officials have over time allowed selfishness and corruption litter the beautiful roads of justice. If we must #EndSars we must also #HaveAGovernmentRevolution. President Buhari isn't the problem, the whole system He is surrounded with is the problem. We are creation of God, we should not live and die like chickens. We should have a total Government revolution. Do have a nice day.
