I would like to remind you of some of the words you used during the 2015 election campaign period. I quote “the so-called democracy was a hidden autocracy. It was deceptive and questionable quack miler. Nigerians suffered hunger unnecessarily. We heard about oil subsidy being removed and added whatever be (is) their jargon, nobody understood them. We heard about minimum wage, the civil servants suffered, the minimum wage was not paid and we were all calm. In 2015, Nigerians will not be calm again”
But sir, in just few months your so called holy spirit inspired change government has been more autocratic than any other government in the past 10 years. The government has flaunted court orders, they killed thousands of Nigerians just because free flow of traffic was impinged and they further arrested all its political enemies in the name of fighting corruption. they have also killed innocent protesting civilians. Father, I ask you isn’t this government more autocratic. People these days are so much filled with fear to such an extent that the truth has become a very scarce commodity. Media houses now give use the truth technically, while the new synonym of opposition is wailing. Father is this the way forward. How can a country that wants to progress be so afraid of her president.
Father, you also told us that the citizens where suffering too much as at 2014 but sincerely speaking father can you compare the amount of suffering from that time with the present time. The NBS recent statistics suggested that about 1.9 million jobs were lost in three months ( September, October and November. 2015), the Nigerian stock exchange is heading downward with supersonic speed, inflation rates is on the rise and do you know the funny thing father; the presidency scarcely speaks about measures in curbing this disturbing facts. The presidency loves talking about corruption and how determined she is in fighting corruption, but she keeps using the same old tactics that previous governments used without achieving any meaningful result.
Father, you also talked about oil subsidy removal and its jargons I hope you now understand the jargons associated with oil subsidy. The minimum wage you spoke about sir cannot even be paid by most states presently and you are quite. I know your defense will be that the past government looted all the monies. We know that, and we accept it; but is it what we will hear for the next four years? The monies were made by the past government. The present government should make their own money and make good use of it. The past administration made money through oil, Nigeria has over 40 mineral resources the present government can choose to make theirs through iron ore or coal or alluvial gold or even copper. A responsible government sort for solutions and not gnashing of teeth.
Father, the reason I am pointing this things out is so that you as a political ally of the president can inform him about our present predicaments. How can I be happy? I was told to study and come out with at least a 2-1. I studied and achieved it in a department like chemical engineering. But after all the studies and hard work the only job the present government is offering is teaching job. If I knew that, I would have opted for a course in Education and not engineering, probably to save one year.
Father, you know you have strong followership and whatever you say to your followers becomes law. It is about time you start separating your emotions from the words of the Holy Spirit. Please stop using you spiritual powers to intimidate and oppress other people, God gave you a gift to help humanity and not to destroy humanity.
