  The sins  of the leadership and followership in Nigeria from the foundation of the myriad of problems  affecting the country. This assertion was made by Rev(Dr.) Olaolu Oyekanmi of the Amos World Outreach, the Christian Fellowship Evangelical Mission(CFEM), Moniya-Iseyin, Ijaiye-Orile, Ibadan, Nigeria. ''The major problem of the country revolves around the leadership and the followership. They have committed sins. If Nigerians can easily repent of their sins and change their behavior, activities and attitude, all will change for the better.'' ''The problems are not the change of leadership or change of political parties, but have more to do with the change of mind. If Nigerians don't change, things will not change for the better. Those-in Authority and Those-in-Charge are from different homes. There must be a change,'' Rev(Dr.) Oyekanmi stated. He also disclosed that a three day crusade tagged ''The Only Way to Save you and Nigeria''

A Govt that is yet to meet the expectations of Nigerians will not receive their blessings-Grand Imam Shafauedeen-in-Islam

President Muhammadu Buhari has promised not to complain about Nigeria's problems any more, but to address same in due course. President Buhari who  made this promise in far away, Poland , however did not give convincing reasons why he took this decision, coming just two months to the general elections.
Nigerians insist that the present administration is yet to meet their expectations, one of their expectations is for President Buhari to assent  to the 2018 electoral act amendment bill, but surprisingly the President has  with held his assent.
Expectedly, Nigerians have have expressed doubts over the possibilities of resolving the several challenges confronting the country is six months.

In this interview, the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke says the Federal Government is yet to meet the expectationsof the electorate. Excerpts :

Nigerians are still complaining of several shortcomings  of governance, what do you thing is the solution ?

Nothing is impossible to do and achieve in the face of conducive environment for development, ranging, from the political will of government and his party functionaries.
This is behind the successes and feat achieved  by developed countries including Japan, China, Singapore and Malaysia.
However,, using SWOT analysis, the areas of weaknesses and threats have overwhelmed Mr. President to the extent  that the environment to succeed in addressing the myriad  of problems confronting Nigeria, being the very short term  remaining,creates a mind boggling scenario of doubts in the minds of all Nigerians.
This is because the land is more viscose to threats more ever before.
If Nigerians the are talking about the  All Progressives Congress(APC) carelessness  through internal wranglings and immature politics of selective approach  towards fighting corruption, and the'dead 'Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) with the the  support of the other political parties the
opposition are already up  in'arms' against  the frail ruling party in wrestling power from the incumbent.
It is unfortunate that the gullibility of Nigerians,due to the dysfunctional system of education, religion and socio-political and economic management as evident in the the way the PDP  is now being celebrated without any preferred alternative even by the youth, whose future have continually been toyed with in the 16 years of the PDP ruler ship without conscience.

The structure on ground is equally not favorable to produce credible leaders because the amended constitution  has not yet allowed for independent candidacy.

Surely, there is no way Nigeria will not be reverted to the game of business as usual because if the PDP happen to win the election, all the suspected looters in custody would be freed and the searchlight of the Economic and Financial Crimes(EFCC)would then  be redirected  towards perceived enemies again.
Is this the way Nigeria will continue to be ruled,For bequeath able legacy of sustainable development  not to continue to be evasive as mere'tantalizing mirages' ?
This is not to say that the APC government has not been able to achieve in the areas of their reconstruction processes. For example, the rail system, the declared war on corruption and the aspect of economic diversification.
However, what makes a government popular is how it has impacted positively on the twin issues of HUNGER  and POVERTY in the land, which  ought to be in the areas of employment and job creation. This could be achieved through job creation/ through vocation which government is yet to aggressively address.
This is an environment in which governments at the state level are  yet to pay workers their dues, the pensioners are yet to sing the praises of government and the prices of commodities are not within the reach of the poor while  qualitative  education continues to be evasive to the children of the poor masses.
There is no way such government could receive the the blessings of the masses.
This weakness is equally a source of strength for the opposition, even if such ''OPPOSITION' is a known ''THIEF''.
Whatever happens to the APC  government, if unpalatable to the government, must have been caused by the its State Governors and the Ministers who failed to realize that the masses still  hold the mandate and the  power to remove or to re-elect even against all odds.
The President and the ''POWERS THAT BE '' in the APC  should address with all maturity the threats of internal wranglings and the insincerity of all their State Governors  and the Ministers under who the masses continue to cry for survival.
The earlier they do  this , the possible it becomes to succeed in the areas of  perceived failures, to disappointment of the opposition.
Power in Democracy still  resides in the people, even though they have  elected and appointed representatives  who are supposed to serve.
Politics of rhetoric and hate speech must immediately be relegated to the background so
 that  the masses will have the opportunity to fulfill their rights of access to their physiological needs.
