  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''

Between Interests and Falsehood

The focus of Those-in-Authority presently, is to ensure that the outcome of the Ekiti, Osun and 2023 General elections meete their expectations and not the expectations of Nigerians. The prospect of not having free, fair and credible elections to achieve their electoral expectations endangers democracy. The past seven years at the center have been one big gret falsehood. Words have been in one direction while the action is at the opposite at the center and states.
The electoral process today is now ostentatious and indecent. Shall the coming elections be determined by voting? Nobody knows. It is already obious that in the coming elections there shall be official attempts to rig.But shall it succeed? May be not. The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) ought to be made to realize that it shall be doing a disservice to the nation if the commission allows the ruling party to rig the coming elections. The qulaity of life, standard of living and depth of comfort of Nigerians are reflections of the disturbing andf worrisome quality of goverancne at all levels of government. Sychophants within the corridors of pwoer have made it impossible for leaders to proffer solutions to the multiferous problems confronting Nigerians. The leaders are fully aware of these problmes. Rahter than addressing these problems, the leaders have continued to promote personal and selfish interests at the expense of the people, who have continued to agitate for fairness, justice and equity.
