Hi, it’s Me again doing what I do best, doing Me. The unbelievers
still think I should apologize for being and doing Me, little do they know that
they are the ones to bloody apologize for wanting me to be someone else. I have
chosen to live my life lovingly and truthfully. I choose to believe in my
dreams and follow them the best I can, that I may inspire someone along the way
is a beautiful golden bonus. For starters, this write up ain’t about me, but
about those people who are lost in the wilderness, those group of people who
are disconnected from the realities on ground. Our “Future leaders” indeed. It
is about our young and able youth who are practically waiting for Jesus Christ
to come down, who are growing into dumb bells, sagging in their blue jeans,
showing off their flat bottoms. Look at them, not even aware how they kill
themselves. It is more crazy to see how they have become so intellectually
lazy. In our young country over 70percent of the population is under 30, yet
unreliable statistics say that about 48million young people are unemployed and
about 4million joins that number every year. The army of frustrated youth in
Nigeria is growing astronomically; drugs now rising, violence, cultism,
killings, prostitution, desperation, and hopelessness have become a permanent
fixture in the lives of our youth. This is the Nigeria of today.
Religion is a good thing, it is meant to
nurture our spiritual content, be you a catholic, a Protestant, Baptist,
Muslim, Buddhist, Pentecostal, most world religion are based on the precept and
concept of love. Yes I believe in God, a supreme being if you may. I believe in
Jesus Christ our lord and saviour, but I do not believe in the Nigerian
Christians. I cannot stand most of them; it is laughable how they have turned
our universal God, to a Nigerian. For some, they see God as a babalawo, a
native doctor whose job it is to always perform miracles as long as you give
him money through the “man of god” by donating to the church, paying tights,
building a chapel in your house, always attending every church functions etc
etc. Most of our so-called Christians have no fear or respect for God, they use
his name in vain, they lie, kill, they cheat, all kinds of evil are committed
in his name, because they know he is a merciful God and his ways are beyond our
comprehension. Can the Pagans try that with their oracle? Do you know that the
Pagans dread and respect their juju more than the Christians dread and respect
God? Pagans who swear by their juju will hardly break their oath, but what
about our Nigerian Christians who swear by the bible, either taking an oath of
office or at weddings. See how they break their vows or abuse their offices.
Don’t get this twisted, religion is not the problem, it is Nigerians hypocrisy
and very shameful ignorance. Most Christians have lost all sense of objectivity
and rationalization when it comes to religion because they are either poor or
desperately looking for something. If criminals were punished and laws are
enforced, most of the hypocrisy associated with religion in Nigeria will cease
to exist because punishment for criminality, which includes most sin will be
immediate. Secondly, because most of us have lost fate in our leadership we
have turned to religion for solace. Now, I expect our pastors, men of god,
imams in unity to condemn our rouge leaders, since we no longer have law
enforcers. Religion is like the law. The law is not the problem because we have
good laws, but what about the defenders of the law and those it is binding on.
That is how we sat down and allowed some riffraff’s and scoundrel in power to
be treated as Gods chosen, when really they steal our land, our money and
totally corrupt our youths. Religion teaches good things, like love but the
people we look up to for religious guidance are so busy misinforming their
followers for their own personal gain
See how religiosity has turned our youths into a bunch of uncreative and lazy
jackasses. Do you know that the average Nigerian youth, religious or not, does
not believe in Nigeria? Do you know that 80percent of the Nigerian youth
believes that to make it in Nigeria, you must sacrifice your mother or loved
ones? Do you know what honesty means to most Nigerian youth? Stupidity. But the
worst mindset of all, is that success in life is Gods musical chairs, not about
hard work, being tenacious or staying focused, for where? Prayer is the
solution to everything in this life. You dont have to study to pass your exam,
pray. You don’t have to work hard to succeed, just pray, then if it’s not
working, bring our mother. You don’t need to have fuel in the car to get to
your destination, just pray. Meeeeeen wahala dey. Many of our youths now are
just floating, making plans or strategizing is not in their agenda anymore.
They believe that prayer is the solution to all problems. See how most of them
have abused the social media, just checkout your blackberry broadcast and face
book pages these days, just to mention a few. Checkout the ridiculous
unsolicited massages you get these days, that only requires you to type in
“Amen” and receive a miracle in seven days, what rubbish. They believe if they
can fast for a certain number of days place money on the alter when a prophetic
message is given, claiming the blessings, then success is theirs. Religion has
given them too many answers for so many things, that they are unwilling to let
go, most of them are just lost, others have doubts even about themselves and their
future. We really are in deep spiritual crises, we are raising a nation of very
ignorant youth. God gave every human being a conscience, which is far superior
to the intellect. If the conscience is silenced in us, we are Doomed. The most
trendy place to find a soul mate is in the church, however you have more
Gigolos in attendance looking for their next prey. Most churches, especially
from the Pentecostal extraction are notorious for fixing blind dates and
arranging marriages when even their own pastors find it difficult to happily
stay in their own marriage, what an irony. Many of us especially the youths
just go to church to transact our own business, nothing more. God is watching
sha. Yes, it is good to believe in God, but we don’t need all these unnecessary
rituals. God is not a native doctor. How can I be swayed by sweet talks, jerry
curling, bible quotes, miracle staging, 419 pastors and the so called men of
god. God forbid, but our youth have been taken in by these set of people who
cajole and mesmerize their congregation for their own selfish end. For them,
it’s a business. Religion is good, but being holier than the pope, and too much
religiosity in one’s life is bad. The kind of religiosity we have now is one
that puts the youth to sleep, it’s not the kind that allows them to question,
least they be called demonic, it’s not the kind that’s after social justice or
after the welfare of its people. Religion has been turned into superstition. If
you are still unemployed, it’s not because of the high rate of employment in
the country, but because of your sins. Hummmmm! For me I don’t bloody see the
difference between the politicians and the men of god, one controls the social
and political end of the game, yes it’s all a game and the joke is on us because
we have refused to awake from our slumber. The other controls the spiritual and
metaphysical realm selling the gospel of prosperity than the gospel of
spirituality, na God go judge.
One of the many reasons
our dear youth are so F–king dolce these days, is because they no longer are
creative, they have become group souls, they no longer ask questions, that’s
the reason they take all kinds of cheating because many of them envisage to be
in a position of power someday too, so they can also oppress those who had
oppressed them in the past. All they need to do is pray so that their miracle
will happen soon. My final thought on this? I still believe that the salvation
of the Nigerian enterprise lies in the hands of our exceptional youth, after
all I am a product of this environment, but this environment does not live in
me
