State of the Nation : Religious leaders

It is only in Africa that religion encourages
people to be blind to reason and logic while in developed
nations, reason, and science and technology rules?why is it that our self-acclaimed Religious leaders
are not using their powers of “vision and prophesy” to
stop our security challenge ? So far, it has become a sinister habit of government  to insult us with messages that
achieve nothing other than expose their annoying inability
to secure Nigeria and all that concerns Nigerians. Terrorist are bombing us into oblivion, those in government
are in a serious race of stealing all the money in our
treasury, the EFCC is busy celebrating jailing hapless and
petty 419 boys while shying away from prosecuting the
big men and women that raid public funds with impunity,
our police men continue to shoot unarmed civilians while
scampering to safety at the mention of armed robbers/
kidnappers, etc. etc. The above scenario is the perfect
breeding ground of swindlers and rogues who mask as
Religious leaders.
Pastors, Prophets and Imams
are all in their game for their own cosmic amusement
which is about the wealth, and the prestige it accords them
Perhaps, there might be men and women who genuinely
believe in their role as men and women ordained by the
Divine to help the suffering masses of Nigeria.
In the absence of a responsive and responsible
government, in the absence of men and women who are
honest and armed with a strong will to serve the people,
in the absence of a purposeful leadership, what we have
is a stifling array of churches and mosques all churning
out ridiculous and weird messages of hope to assuage the
quest of an already bewildered and impoverished
populace. Sounds of gun shots and exploding bombs have
become a steady stream in the life of our nation while the
Presidency maintains the comedy which maintains that
“Nigerians should go about their lawful business as
government will soon smash the scourge that is Boko
Haram”.
The nation is in shambles because of the wicked and
obnoxious actions of those that either shot or rigged their
ways into positions of authority; our schools are all in
different stages of decay, our health care is one huge
joke, transport system is comatose, our roads are death
traps, made in China electric generating sets of different
types now sustain our quest for power supply.Our Pastors, Prophets and Imams are really a bunch of
very smart lot. They have devised a brilliant means of
“giving hope to the hopeless” while smiling to the banks
and flying around in private jets and cruising in posh
automobiles. Nigerians are really a gullible lot and our government
exploits this ugly situation brilliantly. The economic
hardship brought about by the ethically and morally evil
actions of our rulers is to me, the main reason why we
have millions of religious people who have no faith. All
over Nigeria, we see smart men and women exploiting
fellow citizens in the name of religion.  We are living in a period of time
where fellow citizens have become so superstitious and
are willing to believe just anything that spews forth from
the mouth of charlatans masking as Religious leaders.We have in abundant supply self-
proclaimed Pastors and Prophets who owe their success
to claiming to have the ear of God; these fellows have
made a brilliant career of turning millions of fellow
citizens into weaklings who “wait on the lord” while
donating generously to the preachers scam
