According to the word of God, there is time for everything under the earth as all things cannot work together at the same time, rather there is a specific period to work out things, so that it will definitely make it balanced and not make it scattered.

Referring to this word of wisdom, the time for we, Nigerians to rise and fight for ourselves is now and not later, let’s stop procrastinating, that when the time comes, things will definitely work out for its good, when will the time come, when will it work for its good, when will we stand up for ourselves and not believing in these ruthless leaders, that they are the ones for the good of this nation, who are the nation? Is it not me and you? If they destroyed this nation by their own system, policies and initiatives of administration as they are doing it now, how will it be for the future generations?

Let’s come together as one and stop leaning on these people and they keep on deceiving us, making us more gullible, with the belief that things will change it they are giving the opportunity to take over the office of leadership, but rather after given the chance, instead of things to change for better, it rather become more bad and even worse than the previous government, let’s ask ourselves, are we helping or derailing ourselves?

Now, as the 2027 general elections beckons on every means of atmosphere, that is where you see number of people flowing around these deceivers, day and night, giving them what will last for just a week or month, to make them believe that they have done something spectacular for them, and when they get to the office, the budget meant to transform the people into better, would be found in the wallet, with the belief that they have done it for them during the campaigns and rallies.

Is this not enough for us to learn our lesson since the inception of democracy system of government, yet this attitude has been with us and we keep on being flowing around with it, you see number of comments on social media debating what is not necessary, while some throw abusive words to another because of what they are agitating on, you see another giving positive remarks to leaders who have failed in their respective states, positions and the likes.

Are we doing all these to help or to manipulate ourselves? The high tariffs on food items, transportation, crude oil, housing, and many other things in the nation, are causing wounds into our flesh, and for it to be healing up, the wound is getting more deeper, and instead for us to look at means or ways to make the wounds heal, we are not even ready to make for it, but we are enjoying the bad system of the government and we kept on following our means of gullibility.

When Jesus Christ came as a Messiah, he was not accepted, betrayed, neither was he believed as the Saviour of the world, but when He left, then the need for his presence among us was made known and we are expressing our purpose for Him now. Now same message applies to when some God-sent leaders were raised among us, we rejected them and made the choice for the one that isn’t concerned about the people who is about to be led or saved.

Nigerians, it is time for us to stand on our feet and know the right from the wrong, to stop being deceived by these people tagging themselves as our leaders, without any point of focus of good developmental services or projects around them. We know what to do, let stop being deceived by these deceits, as the time for next year elections beckons now, we will be seeing groups of thugs, bandits, being paid, armed and make use by the politicians to crave way towards hijacking the election for their own purpose. But why can’t they make use of their own children or family members?

Are we thinking towards these or is it because of the stipends we want to collect from them that is making us to surrender ourselves to their evil activities?

Don’t let us wait for when the time come any longer, the Time Is Now….Let’s Rise On Our Feet and Walk.
