Hmmm yet we still need employment, rural infrastructures, electricity, good drinking water, good roads etc. God will give us God fearing leaders to achieve this.
Thank you for that question.
Efeglo....God will not come down from heaven to rescue a nation that has abused itself! Until Nigerians stop waiting on God while destroying herself will she get out of this rot.
Yes, that's while the good people are here to stop them, how can we prevail by prayers and work. If we have God fearing leaders we can achieve all we want.
Who are the 'good people'?
If you count yourself fit, capable, Godfearing, strong and what have you. People like you can make Nigeria proud. What Nigerian's need is continous prayers. I do believe that no matter what is happening in Nigeria that we still have lots of good people who will not kill because of money in this country. Let us show good example wherever we find ourselves.
