The political landscape in my country Nigeria has also been one i would rather describe as adventurous. Military dictatorships, democracy and various governments and leaders that attempted to impose themselves as life presidents but their dreams were all aborted.
In my primary and secondary school days, Nigeria was termed as the giant of Africa....today...the story is different.
what is the meaning of life; in the midst of all these transitions; why do we experience boom and suddenly experience a depreciation...why do we celebrate God's faithfulness and at some point retire to a lukewarm lifestyle were God no longer takes center stage.
Economic policies change by the day...Bush comes with a conservative style beacuse he's Republican, Obama with much rhetoric comes with a liberal style because he is a Democrat at the end, Economic policies and leadership styles are not different. the Americans go on complaining and end up erring their grievances in mid term elections.
In Nigeria, power births an inordinate taste and hunger for quick wealth, corruption becomes the norm...the church turns into a ground for thanksgiving...
If I may ask, what is the role of the church in all these.
I wonder and ponder on these issues and i ask myself why?
could it be that's just the way the world system works? is that just the way it is?
you comments are welcome...
...to be continued.
