OpEd: Nation Building Is Our Collective Duty By Adeola Soetan | Sahara Reporters Organise, mobilise and struggle for good governance right from your community to the national level. Don't be hooked on religionism or ethnic prejudice as a... READ MORE:
Citizens do and unburden themselves with their courage and will-power to struggle. Even in God's own country, Americans didn't go to God through their prayer centres for divine intervention when killer Cop Derek publicly executed George Floyd. They are on the streets till now protesting and the civilised world joined them in solidarity to condemn racism and police brutality so that the world can breathe and breathe better.
I always smile anytime I hear Nigerians and their religious leaders, out of frustration, fear or despondency, saying that we should hang our socio-economic and political problems on God's neck to solve for us. A supplication to God/Allah to fight our oppressive, irresponsible leaders in Nigeria who have made breathing very difficult for us while they can breathe well and also have access to inexhaustible reservoir of unpolluted oxygen"in case of incasity".
Honestly, I don't know how God can help you, the poor and struggling citizens, who because of your economic status, cannot even keep faith with your religious injunctions and scriptural expectations. Many of you cannot even afford specially fortified anointing oil and"Hantu". Honestly, I still don't know how you want and expect God to fight your corrupt and irresponsible leaders, who have been unleashing bad governance on you over the years with your acquiescence and lethargy. I doubt.
