The Problems of Nigeria emanate from the Sins of the Leadership and Follower-ship-Rev.(Dr.) Oyekanmi

  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''

Check Those who are Pulling Down Igbo Personalities-Eze(Dr.)Anozie to Ohaneze

The national leadership of the Ohaneze Ndigbo has been called upon to curtail the activities of those who have continued to downgrade personalities in Igboland. This call was made recently, by the Ezechukwujiegosioluebube nala Ibadan and Oyo state, Eze(Dr.) Alex Anozie at the Igbo day celebration in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. ''Let me also appreciate the Ohaneze worldwide leadership, ably led by Professor George Obiozo and his dynamic team, for their selfless service they are doing to Ndigbo worldwide. May the good Lord bless and guide them always in all their efforts towards serving Ndigbo better. Please your administration should try to checkmate this rising wave of P.H.D-Pull Him Down Syndrome-which has rubbished the integrity of the Igbo race.'' Eze(Dr.) Anozie also commended the Federal Government for completing the second Niger bridge, saying, ''Let me thank the Federal Government for the completion of the second Niger bridge. I am so happy, that it was on this ground, Liberty stadium of Ibadan, that while I was reading my address in year 2002 in the presence of our very dear father, leader and brother, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, as he was our special guest in that year's Igbo day like we are doing today, that I first voiced out, calling on the Federal Government to construct a second Niger bridge, I was the first Nigerian to officially make that request to the Federal Government, before others joined. I thank God, and I am so happy that it has become a reality. To God be the glory.'' ''Let me quickly join respectable voices who have continued to appeal to the Federal Government to release our son Nnamdi Kanu, as ruled by the courts. I am among those who believe that political solution can resolve that issue once and for all, particularly when the security of lives and property, justice, equity and fairness begins to reign in society. ''I am joining other Nigerians to call for peaceful, free and fair elections in 2023. I am appealing to our politicians to please try playing politics without bitterness, that people who belong to different political parties should not force Nigerians to become enemies. The Federal government should do everything very sincerely in allowing the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) to conduct free and fair elections. I am still very optimistic that Nigeria can still be fixed, '' if'' God gives us, God-fearing leadership. Thank God, all the presidential candidates contesting are all good materials. I appeal to whoever God chooses among the presidential candidates and gives us, Nigerians, that we should obediently give him every required support to succeed. To my people Ndigbo in Ibadan and Oyo state-Please continue to live in peace and harmony with your fellow Nigerians and Non-Nigerians who are living peacefully in the state.''

The Grassroots and Government

Image
The importance of the Local Government revolves around the need to attend to the expectations and welfare of the people at the grassroots. In addition, the Local Government plays a vital role in Federal schemes of education, housing, transport among others, nationwide. It adopts the mainline of policy to local conditions. Sadly, the Local Government, under the present dispensation in Nigeria, is not independent. Interestingly, a number of Chairmen and Councillors elected from their neighborhoods, now focus on recruiting cultists and other categories of criminals to intimidate, terrorize and attack residents of several communities, as social services continue to remain a mirage. Indeed, these elected officials are not known by the vast majority of the populace at the grassroots, while development is only on the pages of newspapers and speakers of radios. Curiously, the character of growth to meet the needs of the poverty-stricken people come with lies, half-truths, and promises, ev
