These are my people, yes my PEOPLE from a nation with the richest churches in the world, massive oil reserves without local refinery capacity, they are building an Atlantic City within local communities without common public water supply system, non-functional drainage system and epileptic power supply. These elites see no problem with these misplaced priorities, it has become a jungle where the intelligent, elite and smart ones prey on the weak, less miserable, less privilege and expect to sleep well within a 10 feet wall of bricks under the protection of an hungry and poorly armed policemen.

Let's get out of that our 100 million naira house, stop that donation of half a billion to your local church, stop that mentality of "I" and let us talk about "WE" the people. Get involved in local politics, ask questions, volunteer at hospitals, your child's school, road rehabilitation, community library, take your church to the prisons, welfare homes IDPs camps. The well-being of every society is 70% dependence on the vision and policies of the Government, yes the GOVERNMENT, not your pastors, not your imam, not your prayers, not even God, for God has given us the power... and he is watching us on how wisely or foolishly we are using it because my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

We can do better as a people, not as an individual. No matter how intelligently you performed on a foreign soil one question is certain - why is your country such a mess?

I feel your pain my brother.
This nation is massively blessed but the leaders are massively cursed. Why? Falsehood. They don't tell us the truth.
