The truth is that many of our spiritual leaders in Nigeria, across the three principal religions, Islam / Christianity / Traditional religion, lie a lot and often twist their words to suit their patrons, without bothering about the consequences. And this is why there's so much wickedness all over Nigeria because these people have the erroneous belief that God is with them no matter what they do. And I am saying this with all sense of respect to some of them who speak the truth. There's a blurred line between personal interest and truth and many of them have seriously compromised for financial and economic gains, hence we hardly ever get to hear the truth.
Personal encounter with many of these spiritual people has made me quite cautious in dealing with them, including those who are family friends and even family members..
They all want to take and take and milk you dry and even tie you down so they can keep milking you financially..
For me, "Iwa ni esin" and the bible also said that by their fruits you shall know them, in other words, what you say and do will preach to me more that your preaching. But we need to internally purge ourselves and reorientate ourselves on the path of truth, equity and justice before facing external enemies. We need to bring back our strong values. There's just too many lies, deception, betrayals and backstabbing going on in our midst. Our forefathers were not like this at all and our spiritual leaders of old had serious integrity and true power...
Religion is thรฉ doit of thรฉ fragmentรฉs Societies and informing maligning of many Women with FEAR..
CULTURE needs to be re- scripted, as some of us are trying to with our literatures, for us to know "ODU-IFA holds truth as Ancient Genesis".
Now even here, adulteration is beginning to seep through..
I still believe that "TOGETHER, WE CAN".
TRUTH is bitter..
