With the spirit of mutiny creeping into our Armed Forces, a full scale armed rebellion ravaging the north-east and a terrible disease afflicting parts of the south what does the future hold for Nigeria?

When one looks at it through a spiritual prism one sees nothing but darkness, strife, fear, division, suffering, poverty and chaos. Concerning 2015 and the coming elections the most alarming thoughts plague my mind.

This is made all the worst by the sheer blindness and desperation of a political class and ruling elite that is drunk with power, that lacks vision and any sense of patriotism, that is notoriously undiscerning and shallow and that has no intellectual depth or moral fiber. This goes across party lines.

If anyone tells you that we are not in trouble in this country that person has lost touch with reality and needs to have their head examined. All is not well in paradise.

The last thing we need now is the blood of twelve soldiers, who turned on their commanding officer for sending their colleagues to an unnecessary and untimely death, on our hands.

The consequences of going ahead with such a course of action may be far more than we can possibly bear and they may be very grave for our nation and for our democracy.

If there was ever a time to pray for Nigeria this is it.
