Comatose Economy

The development of infrastructure in Nigeria has over the years been unsuccessful due to the fact that the country is not an infrastructure-conscious space. In infrastructure development, the quality of the people is crucial,-initiative, prudence, ingenuity and foresight, all combined to guarantee a nation’s development. Indiscriminate taxation would definitely have negative effects on the psyche of the people and certainly not an incentive for higher productivity.
A close and critical observation of the Nigerian economy exposes the inexperience, ignorance, mediocrity and docility of Those-in-Charge. The trial and error policies of government has only worsened the coma state of the economy, regardless of the injury time shuttles abroad by government officials to attract foreign investments. The Nigerian economy today, is a patient well over due for surgery.

Divine power is absolute and incorruptible, it is greater and more valuable than terrestrial and subterranean power, which usually are subject to the control of lesser forces from the created objects of beings. For man to succeed in life as a leader and in governance, he must seek the grace of God as bestowed on King Solomon in the Holy Bible. The substance of divine power are knowledge, wisdom and the power of a discerning mind, which makes man dispense with the power of authority with the fundamental respect-a follow up of due process in power dispensation. The Holy Quran 2 : 269 and the Holy Bible Proverbs 1 : 7 attest to this fact. ''He granteh wisdom to whom He pleaseth : and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflown ; but none will receive admonition except men of understanding.'' In the same vein, the Holy Bible Proverbs 1 : 7 emphasizes the need to rely on divine power only, most especially sourced through having respect for the dictates...

God will provide water from the rock

  The times are indeed difficult in different climes, in the family, community, organizations and countries. However, do not despair. Never give in to thoughts of allowing your faith to falter. For God, your creator will continue to guide and protect you. He will provide for all your needs. When God led His people out of Egypt, life was very difficult for them, initially. The reassurance of Moses that God was with them, gave them hope of better days ahead. God is always with you in the family, community, organization and country. He will surely provide 'water from the rock.'' ​I fervently pray to God to raise your ''Moses'' to lead you through the ''Red Sea''. Amen.  For more insight, read Exodus 16.
