we have come to the time, as Nigerians, when we present ourselves and show our selves to be truly patriotic, with the love of our father land moving us all. we ought to engage in this patriotic show with the influence and the mindset of our religious background. am I saying that we should engage in the politics of religion? No, I am not saying that. what I am saying is that our partriotism should flow from who we are- christians. our christinianity should not be that of the fanatic, that of a fanatic, that of a jihadist. we should look upon Christ who in his patriotism, asked us to give to pilate what belonged to pilate and to God what belongs to God. it is time for us to give to pilate and we need to do that with an air of intergrity. Nigerians I am telling you that this is the time for us to get things right with everything, especially with our electorate and particularly as it concerns the Nigerian situation and the Nigerian person. it is time for us to get things right. we can do this by voting the right person in. voting the right person means that we do not subscribe to any bribery or corruption, for if we give in now, we would reap what wu sowed- corruption. it is not without doubt that in such a time, money has exchanged hands and people have decived others into thinking that a corrupt person would make a good candidste for the office in question. Nigerians we should have learnt our lessons by now, yes indeed, we should have. they have always promised but failed and we have even failed on our own part, because we have constantly voted for people based on what we have received from them.
In Christ we stand not for bribery or corruption, In Christ we stand, not for biased or sectarian politics, In Christ we stand not for Party Politics, In Christ we stamd not for religious or tribal politics, but in Christ we stand for the right thing and the honest thing and the Upright thing. I am not campaiging for anyone, neither am I saying that if you vote it would not be counted because of election malpractice. All I am saying is that Nigerians should do the right thing, with respect to this period of our ever nascent democracy. we are still crawling and as such we need to take the right decisions. I know that, particularly in the North the politics of religion ranks very high, and as such it is a very tense area. but in the midst of this tension, we should do the right thing and stand for the good. In Christ we stand in and out of season, and at this period we are in season, we should thus stand with Christ. we should stand for Christ in our patriotism. it is time we get the right people in power and hope that they work for the good of all. I am not saying that Jonathan or Ribadu or Buhari or Shekaru etc, is the right person, neither am I giving to you a credible candidate for any of the electoral offices. NIGERIANS PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING...lest we suffer for another 4 years. Make Christ proud by standing with him in and during this period of elections.
In Christ we stand...IN AND OUT OF SEASON
