[Nigeria as a case study]
Anchor Scriptures:
Proverbs 29:2 <> When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rules, the people groan, mourn, and suffer.
Mark 3:24-25 <> A house, people, or kingdom divided cannot stand.
Amos 3:3 <> Can two walk together in disagreement? No, except they agree.
Exposition:
The new Nigeria dream can become a reality but it would never be actualized under incompetent leadership and bad governance.
The people of Nigeria must not only unite to vote out corrupt and unscrupulous politicians but MUST also be willing to dump religious and tribal bigotry for ONE NIGERIA to manifest.
The peace of the land will be restored when a serious Government in power intentionally scrutinize every security agency in a bid to fish out complicit officers that have become bad eggs in the system and they must be made to face the wrath of the law with no sentiment attached.
In the same vein, every christian, muslim, and others that are truly well meaning Citizens of Nigeria in support MUST also join force with the Government and the newly purged security agencies to resist any iota of Jihad, sharia law, and the agenda to islamize Nigeria that is constitutionally recognized as a secular state.
Shalom...(peace)!!!
