You see it's so easy to blame the Govt. and point fingers, but you're as guilty as the Govt. Every Nigerian is responsible for the past, present and future calamities that will befall this country. You might be asking, how's it your fault and my fault. Well let me tell you. If you're not doing anything about it besides praying, you're part of the issue. This sounds like blasphemy or heresy because you've always been taught that prayers is the KEY. Well that is where the problem is. A fundamental error in your fundamental belief(s). Prayers DOES NOT and will not be the solution to any problem if you don't understand the principle.
The formula is PRAYERS-FAITH-WORK. None of these factors is more important than the other. So you might be prayerful and have faith, but what about the works. What have you done or not done to contribute to the betterment of the nation. Before you start quoting the scriptures again as if you wrote it, read James 2:17. So it's not something I made up. The videos below says more about my view on these issues.

What pisses me off the most is that these issues did not just erupt. We had it coming a long time ago but turned deaf ears to it. Do things have to go out of hand before we act? How long do you think it's going to be, before we or a member of our family become victims and casualties of all these madness? This is a country where nobody is nobody's keeper, still we quote the scriptures and preach 'Be your brother's keeper'. People quote the bible passages more than Emperor Constantine himself but don't apply the principles and you think you'll get results?
The bible never instructed us to quote the scriptures to set us free, it said 'know the truth and the truth shall set you free.' John 8:32. Knowing something means applying it when neccessary. Do we apply the principle of the truth? I doubt very much. I tell you, I know alot of europeans even teenagers who do not believe that God exists, but at least they are honest about it. You, who believe and knows that God exists and still act as if he doesn't, you're the worst scum of the earth. Every praise that comes out of you lips is an abomination unto God.
When you travel, can you say NO to bribing the policeman at the checkpoint. And if you see a fellow saying no to them, can you back him up because its the right thing to do? No you can't. So what; if the Govt is corrupt, does it mean you have to help it? Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego refuse to bow to the king's statue despite the threats. They said they knew God is more than able to deliver them but even if he chooses not to, they still will not bow. Can you say or do that? Instead you're quoting the scriptures. Any fool can quote the scriptures.
Can you stand up for the right thing even if you have to stand alone? I created a forum on facebook a few weeks ago (The solution), and I said I don't want just anybody on this forum because its not like all others. I said I don't want people who will come and complain and say what the Govt. should or should not do. Any dumb person can say or write that. I said I needed only people who are doing something or intend to do something (no matter how small) to change the lives of their neighbour, since we all know changes starts from us. Up untill as I write this article, no single soul joined the forum. But if it was a forum for weak people to come and dictate whats to be done, I would have hundreds of people on there by now.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF YOU WILL NOT TAKE A STEP TO START DOING THE RIGHT THING, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE.
