It is common place to hear many who pride themselves as either politically sagacious or politically conscious to wish that ‘Now’, (the present) more than any other time should be the ‘prosperous era’ for our beloved but over-stressed nation, yet they, at the same time, harbor a notion that God Almighty, the Originator of the universe should rather be removed from the Nigeria’s political dispensation. But the recent event in the political life of our country seems to be putting a lie to that notion.
This notion is usually prompted, because of the unholy nature politics and sometimes due to the mis-notion or the illusion that man alone is responsible for his political actions and consequences, catastrophic or a megahit. They simply claim that religion (God) and politics should stand apart; claiming that prayer should not be brought into politics. Many do explain away this erroneous believe on realism, asserting that since we have been religious and prayerful over the years with no significant improvement in our polity, religion should be jettisoned and God be sidelined in the affairs of man.

Notwithstanding the above categories, a mass majority of Nigerians will say amen to my supplication as I pray thus: Oh God Almighty, please, make Now the Time. The time when Nigeria would be completely free of ethical chauvinism, when terrorism would only be remembered by how it was crushed, the time when corruption would no longer exist in our national lexicon, the time when the power failure would be a thing of the past, the time when there would be no news of depleted foreign reserves, the time when our national security would cease to be a flash in the pan but, an extolment of the past when Nigeria, as a continental power, virtually secured African. Let Now be the time when justice shall prevail in our land, the time when sixteen would never again be greater than nineteen, the time when six lawmakers will not brazenly attempt to impeach thirty-two others. Oh God of Mercy, let Now be when the peaceful co-existence of Nigeria would never be a thing of trepidation, the time when our lost honour and pride would be restored, the time when Nigerians will proudly say ‘I am a Nigerian’. And let this be the time when the Nigerians’ Messiah will truly have emerged.

The above prayers will definitely not come as a surprise to any good student of history. A careful look into the rich political history of the most populous black nation will show that Nigeria has been blessed with varying messiahs at different times.

The first messiah who surfaced in the mid-seventies inherited a divided nation that had just survived a civil war. With his positive policies; he united Nigeria via Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction. He was General Murtala Ramat Muhammed. In just six months, Murtala’s impart was felt in every part of the country. His plan to return power to a civilian government, unseated via January 1966 coup masterminded by Major Nzeogwu and his other ‘Majors’ (colleagues) made people to further love him. Muritala’s cancellation of the 1973 population census which was weighted in favour of the North (where he hailed from) further increased the trust of the southerners in him. Everything was going fine with ‘immediate effect’ until that fateful Friday afternoon when Muhammed met his tragic end in the hands of one Colonel Dimka in a futile and abortive coup.

God did not stop at one, after about a decade in the wilderness, He again sent another Moses. The second messiah came at a time when corruption has eaten deep into the nation’s fabrics, when unemployment rate was at its ascent, when Nigeria was fast losing her territory to terrorism; when national finances were deteriorating; and when religious and political violence was rampant, a group of soldiers led by Brigadier Sanni Abacha overthrew the failing civilian government. And the army appointed Major General Muhamadu Buhari as the Head of State. With this Moses was an Aaron- Major

That's why GEJ chaired the last AU summit. What is lucid needs no microscopic verification, PMB is a leader,u just need to pray for guidance from God for him. hate him or like him

BackDatAssUp:
Abuja - Seventy- two hours after he was sworn-in as President, Muhammadu Buhari is yet to relocate to his official residence in Aso Rock, reports The Nation.

The delay in relocating to his official residence is to allow President Buhari organize a prayer session in the house before moving in.
