It’s clear to us all especially the oppressed in Nigeria that we are suffering and we are deeply in and have always been in serious leadership crises since 1960s.
How can we make right leaders to take charge of affairs across a nation where the educated that supposed to enlighten the poor less privileged and uneducated became the parasite that feeds on the nation and her peoples. The most of the educated within the nation has unfortunately turned it to a terrible society. They have foolishly and unfortunately destroyed the foundation our great ancestors instituted and when the foundation failed what can the righteous do?
Our Society was built on traditionally and elaborately detailed institutions that have been in existence for thousands of years.
We have a traditional process in place in choosing a leader and who could be the best for a position of leadership, and we have historical references that guide our decisions and also understand the consequences of making the wrong decisions by not following the process. (Ti omode o ba ba itan a ba aroba, aroba ni baba itan).
Nigeria and the rest of Africa have tried many introduced methods, hypotheses, theory and others that are detailed in western ideology of democracy but unfortunately that hasn’t been successful in Africa.
I think Education supposed to help us think better for the good of the society we find ourselves, but unfortunately we have failed to think and use the God given intellect to bring solutions to our problems. It’s not because we lack the brain to think, but rather many people partially open the door to their cerebrum to only think selfishly.
How did we get it all wrong?
The combination of wrong religious ideology and slave-master crafted Educational system. Sad still, the slave-masters introduced the two world major religion !!! What an irony, so we were completely submerged into illusion of human existence without concrete purpose but to serve, and behave like the slave-master.
It’s even worst when in the scriptures they ensure to pray for your leaders even when they have you in chain, so that you can have peace (1Tim 2:1-2). How can someone have peace and yet be in chain of that leader? That is exactly what the slave masters wants, the slave should be quite and just keep doing their daily chores while they take time to also pray for their oppressors! What a message? Even though, Isa 3:11 says woe unto the wicked, it’s high time we start saying woe to the wicked in our society.
Unfortunately, whenever wicked is mentioned, many would be thinking of a witch in the village but forgot that the government officers or political elites destroyed the life of the people more than the witch that left you to finish university with first class and didn’t kill you when you are a baby!
The woe of the educated elites in Nigeria had destroyed more people more than a witch from a village. Interestingly you can find solutions to the witch situation through prayers and others means that you Ori permit but unfortunately because of brainwashed you are busy celebrating the wicked civil servant or political elite that have destroyed the present and future!
