The holy book says "pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls; and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, peace be within thee. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good." This was written by one of the greatest musicians and instrumentalists of the old testament. Whether we like it or not, our Jerusalem is Nigeria and Africa as a whole. We have to consistently be praying for the peace of Nigeria and Africa.
People say, Africans are poor and many Nigerians live below $1 per day. The question is; do you love this country? Nobody can prosper in a country he/she hates because the wealth secret of that country will not be revealed unto him. One of the grrates lover of Africa is ALIKO DANGOTE. I know you're familiar that name. Some Nigeria musicians even used the name to sing that "I want to be rich like Dangote". He made one profound statement that "if he's given all the money in the world, he will invest it in Africa". You shouldn't be surprised why he's the richest in Africa. He even encourages other Africans in abroad to come and invest in this continent. The question is; "if you have all the money in the world, will you invest it in Africa?" Judge yourself.
Everybody hates our bad leadership, snail-like economy, poverty caused by not working together in love. We must not hate Africa if we want to prosper in it. We can't but love this continent. At least, for the sake of our brothers, sisters, wives, children, the next generation and even our religion, let's love our countries and Africa as a whole. Remember, the goodness of your country will rub on you. Also, the worse of your country will rub on you. Nigerians can testify how they are being treated at International Airports because of bad image. Let's work together to redeem the glory of Africa. Let's put aside the belief that Africa was sold to the devil by our forefathers through idol worshipping. But my argument is, we should be free by now because we're the most religious continent in the world. And Christianity is more than other religions in Africa. You can testify with me that the blood of Jesus is more powerful than the power of the devil. Do you agree that devil is not our problem? We are just under the umbrella of hatred which is hindering the prosperity of Africa. If we're working together in love and looking for the good of our countries, we'll be better of. There'll be enabling environments for innovations, inventions and economy growth.
This trait of love is seen among the whites. I think many of them love their countries passionately. I'm not surprised they are setting the pace in technology , innovations and economy. Until we love our countries, there will be no development. Let's join our hands together to move Africa to greater heights. Remember, united will stand, divided will fall. Africans, let's arise and shine together. Happy Democracy Day to my fellow Nigerians.
