Nigeria in Dire Situation – Dr. Paul Onichamba
The Senior Pastor and presiding Bishop-elect of, Royal Assembly Healing and Deliverance Church, Ibafo, Ogun State, Dr. Paul Onichamba has described the present economical, insecurity, insurgence, killings and other vices situation in Nigeria as messy.
“Our present situation in Nigeria is messy and is messed up. Nigerian politicians are not sincere to themselves, to the people that voted them as representatives, and to the constitution they swear to uphold, how much more, God?”, he lamented.
He berated christians in politics, stating that, the biggest problem we have is that those among them that are Christians and go to church, once they join politics, they will dump their Christian standard and teachings at home and mix with the corrupted crowd.
The problem of this country is not religion, it is people’s mindset. If we have genuine men and women who are Muslim or Christians as leaders at the helm of affairs in this country, things will take shape and get better. We have enough resources to take care of this country’s population now and in future. Unfortunately, now both the masses and the leaders are one way or the other contributing to the problem of this country.
Corruption is not just up there, it is endemic and the second name of the majority of Nigerians. Everyone wants to get something the moment they meet you, they look for what they will get from you and not how they can compliment you. It’s as bad as one of the countries I traveled to some time ago, Niger Republic. Someone will greet you and be looking at your hand to receive money for greeting you, someone will direct you in the right direction to go and be expecting something in return. Similar thing is already happening in Nigeria.
One of our major problems is that, we have become so tribalistic minded that average Nigerian doesn’t care whether you are a thief, a criminal, or incompetent, as far as you are from his tribe and speak the same language, if you like, embezzled all the money and be corrupted, he will vote for you once you are from his tribe.
All the politicians jumping from one party to the other in the name of decamping are of the same circle. What they are doing is changing their shirts and not changing their minds. They lack integrity, principles and ideology. They are selfish and can’t be trusted or relied on.
They have so impoverished the common man and made them to be poor that for 5,000, the poor man can sell his conscience, so that they will continue ruling them because the poverty level is high.
