WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY

Esther 10:3 ERV "Mordecai the Jew was second in importance to King Xerxes. He was the most important man among the Jews. His fellow Jews respected him very much, because he worked hard for the good of his people and brought peace to all the Jews."

Nigeria is where she is today because many of her leaders are working for themselves rather than for the people. It is on record that a certain past military ruler looted trillions of Naira from the State. Now, that's just one man; if we were to add up all monies being stolen by all our leaders you can only imagine what it would amount to.

We are in dire need of selfless men and women. Men and women who are not interested in becoming overnight billionaires, men and women of integrity, compassionate men and women who will seek to alleviate the sufferings of the people, men and women in business whose aim is to make our country one of the greatest in the world and to restore our lost glory, men and women who fear God and only want to do what is right, agents of change, men who will create wealth for others and improve the standard of living of the common man.

54 years ago, Nigeria became an independent country. Let's all make a commitment to make a difference in our own little ways. Let's be inspired to do what's in the best interest of every citizen of this country. I challenge our leaders to stop abusing power, to fix our roads, to improve the quality of education, to provide portable water, to provide power, to empower every Nigerian, to create an enabling environment for business to thrive, to create jobs, to curb insecurity and to stop corruption. I challenge the youths, the future leaders, to be patriotic, to stop violence, and to improve themselves in every possible way. Christians should always pray for Nigeria; for the healing of our land, for righteousness to reign, for peace, unity and progress.

God bless Nigeria
