(LOOKING AT NIGERIA'S POLITICAL SYSTEM FROM A GODLY PERSPECTIVE).

ONLY STUBBORN PEOPLE WILL HENCEFORTH DIE AS CORONAVIRUS RECEDES!
[TIMELY WARNING TO CITIZENS OF THE WORLD!].
“Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he falls. [1Cor.10:12]”
The disastrous effects of Covid-19 pandemic on the United States of America, the most economically-viable, scientifically/technologically-advanced and militarily-powerful nation in the world was due to the pride, arrogance and self conceit of the executive president who failed to believe in the existence of the invisible deadly virus and misled his subjects until it had silently spread like cancer to destroy the people, their economy and their social life!

On 20th January 2020, the first known case of coronavirus was confirmed in the Pacific Northwest state of Washington in a man who had returned from Wuhan on 15th January, but in spite of the surge in deaths across US up till the month of March, 2020, President Trump still prompted disbelief in the US by suggesting to the Surgeon General that the “RISK WAS LOW TO THE AVERAGE AMERICAN”! As at 24th May, 2020, Covid-19 death toll in the US was over 93,000!
The same scenario played out in the United Kingdom, Russia, Italy, Spain and Brazil, where disbelief and doubts kept the casualty figures kept rising unabated!
When President Trump eventually admitted that Covid-19 was real, he argued that he could not have closed down the greatest economy in the world because of the uncertain rumours of some virus that was yet to be identified!

BRAZIL’S PRESIDENT WAS NO BETTER THAN TRUMP!
Also in the South American country of Brazil where the leadership through its President Jair Bolsonaro, who described Covid-19 pandemic as “little flu”, and where the virus casualty figures have escalated at a furious dimension within the last month, it seems that other nations (including Nigeria), have not let off their guards by deploying all energy through the implementation of modern sanitation/scientific formulas to win the plague!

The Brazilian President disagreed with his State Governors who ordered restrictions on movements and journeys through lockdowns and promptly ordered gyms and beauty salons to operate freely as essential services by claiming that their embargo had caused more damage through lost jobs than the coronavirus itself! He threatened legal action against local governments that would not comply!

FALLOUT OF PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE TO ALL SOCIAL PRECAUTIONS!
Brazil has become the sixth-worst hit country as it confirmed 11,385 new cases Wednesday 13 May, 2020, bringing its total count to 188,974 cases and 13,149 deaths since the outbreak began! The pandemic has battered Brazil’s economy and residents are forced to shelter at home while many state and local governments instructed most businesses to close to slow the spread of the virus!

In another week, Brazil set an record high for new coronavirus cases within 24 hours, when it reported 19,951 new cases bringing the total to 291,579 confirmed cases, according to the country’s Ministry of Health as at Wednesday 20thMay, 2020! The new surge tops the previous record because deaths increased by 888, bringing the total to 18,859, the ministry added! AND across the world, 106,000 cases were reported to the World Health Organisation (WHO), in a single day since the outbreak began and almost two-thirds of those cases were reported in just FOUR countries – United States, Russia, Brazil and India!

Five countries that have registered more infections than Brazil are the United States, Spain, Russia, the United Kingdom and Italy! More than 4.9 million cases of Coviod-19 have been recorded worldwide and at least 327,000 deaths through Covid-19 globally, as at the time of this publication! In the United States alone, more than 93,000 have died!
NIGERIA’S PARTIAL EASE OF LOCKDOWN MUST NOT GO THE WAY OF BRAZIL – ALL CITIZENS MUST CO-OPERATE!
The frenzy and flurry that greeted commercial activities in the three weeks of partial ease of Coronavirus 6-week lockdown, portrayed complete disregard for the rule of law and an absolute connivance by some unscrupulous law enforcement agents who allegedly collected heavy bribes for non-essential vehicles to flout both the permanent night curfews and the ban on inter/intra state vehicular journeys!
In the cosmopolitan States of Lagos/Ogun, Abuja and later Kano which were believed would be more susceptible international “gateways” to the Covid-19 pandemic stringer measures were put in place to prevent an influx through their borders! But from all available reports, the partial ease of lockdown has led to increase of confirmed Covid-19 cases in those states and other sub national states by their governors across the nation as at Sunday 24th May, 2020! Confirmed cases in Nigeria stood at 7,526, Recovered: 2,174, and Deaths; 221, this Sunday!

CHURCHES AND MOSQUES MUST STILL REMAIN CLOSED TO AVOID SUDDEN COVID-19 UPSURGE!
And while the Federal Government is appealing to citizens to observe all protocols of absolute sanitation of regular washing of hands with soap under running water/ application of hand sanitizers, social/physical distancing, wearing of face masks in all public gatherings, grocery markets/motor parks, using of hand gloves where necessary, restriction to overloading in all vehicular passengers to avoid the spread of the communicable disease through close proximity; Religious and Faith leaders are lobbying the President to permit congregational worship in mosques and churches without further delay!

The Christian Association of Nigeria President Reverend ‘Supo Ayokunle, has urged all Christian leaders to stop the clamour for the re-opening of churches at a time  when there was a steady increase through so much disobedience by citizens who have flouted all official orders in respect of personal sanitation!
Just like their Christian counterpart, some Islamic Clerics have expressed their opinions, for and against congregational worship for the time being.

THE ECONOMY CAN BE MANAGED BY FAITHFUL HANDLERS!
Full re-opening of Nigeria’s economy which is gradually heading towards recession has to be handled with great tact and caution – especially when Crude Oil price is still plummeting to its lowest ebb under USD$17.5 DOLLARS per barrel. From all indication, according to IMF projections, the economy might shrink by 3.4% over a period of one calendar year! It is however expected that the Vice President Osinbajo’s Economic Sustainability Committee set up by President Buhari to evaluate the situation and the re-opening would come up with palliatives to succour the masses as he did when he introduced the Economic Recovery Growth Plan [ERGP].
It is expected that much emphasis must be place on reviving the economy through greater support to the Micro Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs), which constitute the backbone to the larger economy! 

STUBBORNNESS WILL INCUR CORONAVIRUS DEATH HENCEFORTH – DIVINE REVELATION!
The story of Prophet Moses and the Bronze Serpent is very instructive to inform disobedient Nigerians that any further recalcitrance to the gradual ease to Covid-19 lockdown laws and orders would attract instant death! [Numbers. 21:6-9]
(6)And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
(7)Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
( 8)And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
( 9)And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. [Please read the whole Chapter].

BUT THOSE WHO REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE BRONZE SERPENT DIED!
The import of the story is a simple analogy. Those who would hence forth rebel against official instructions in respect of thorough personal sanitation in public places and in any form jeopardize and the safety of others by deliberately and intentionally bent on spreading would be prevented by the Angels of the Lord of Hosts and his blood shall be upon his/her own head!  THE LORD HAS SPOKEN! Only those who are alive will go to work and make money! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
