ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking At Nigeria's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 8.NO 367. 23rd August, 2020.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32). . PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

ENOUGH OF BLAME GAMES – MOST NIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE MERCENARIES!

With the exception of a very few Nigerian politicians, the primary concern of the conscienceless majority in government is how to make money at the expense of ethics, morals, pains and agonies of the hapless citizens whom they ride rough shod!

They have no scruples and can be aptly described as mercenaries: “professional soldiers of fortune” whose modus operandi is to be hired to partake in any manner of conflict for personal profit and gains rather than for any political interest!

And the Nigerian terrain which allows for much money of a presidential system of government to flow (like small arms and light weapons), from the local government areas to the apex level of the presidency, has birthed emergency mercenary millionaire politicians who have made so much money from the unruly system and can afford to perpetrate electoral frauds, malpractices, rigging and mayhem to ensure victories at all elections! And like in a relay race, they pass the baton from one person to another using fake party identities to win at all costs though they all work toward achieving the same purpose of suppression and oppression of the poor masses!
Whatever nomenclature or umbrella under which they operate from – it is crystal clear that the same people who play the Electorate about like football before, during and after elections, have been in government from 1960 to date and this is the main reason why it is difficult to identify any progress at all!

When PDP was in power for 16 years, it faced the avalanche and myriad of criticisms of failures, ineptitude, cluelessness etc, which APC is now being bombarded with because the same mix-multitude politicians are on both sides of the divide who work for any government in power under AN INCLUSIVE ARRANGEMENT!
Insecurity of lives and property thrived during annual scattered elections in the four-year tenure of a governor or president and such occasions afforded opportunities for unruly politicians to carry out their hidden agenda through election-related crimes! Against the background of that kind of un-abating crime scenario, security forces are quickly and easily overstretched, overwhelmed and exasperated to make them inadequate and ineffective in their professional tasks! 

HAVE THEY NOT DECEIVED NIGERIANS ENOUGH?
Someday not too long from now these political prostitutes will be forgotten in the archives of history because they have perpetrated immense damages to the Nigerian economic system! They have incurred the wrath of God and the TALAKAWAS whose blood is crying to God everyday for VENGEANCE! They have become masters and no longer the representatives who begged for the peoples’ votes to get into political offices!

They now force their will upon the downtrodden from one administration to another since the British Colonial masters handed over the reins of power to them on a platter of gold! But can they get away with all their antics? As of today, the Nigerian Electorate has to contend with at least 91 Political Parties on the ballot papers at each election from the presidential, to the gubernatorial, local governments and bye elections, if all parties decided to field candidates! Why should the Electorate pass through such ordeals if politicians were truly sincere and honest in their quest for genuine leadership in governance? And that is not all – why should the politicians be so desperate to occupy positions of authority at the expense of the citizens’ bloodshed?

COMMENTS: NBS STATISTICS: 13.9 MILLION NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARE UNEMPLOYED; NIGERIA’S UNEMPLOYED RATE JUMPS TO 27.1% IN 2020 QUARTER 2!
Laudable achievements in one calendar year by the 2nd Term Cabinet no doubt but WE expect more tangible account of the stewardship of APC which should have addressed, the current inflation figures released by Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, (NBS), the threatening RECESSION; Unemployed Youths (who count for about 60-70%) of the 200million population;  Out of school children who are still roaming the streets; the 10 MILLION JOBS promised by Buhari in the next Ten years from 2019; Debt servicing profile to which as at 23rd November, 2019, stood at N25.7 trillion, comprising of both local and foreign loans according to the Debt Management  Office (DMO)!

MORTGAGING NIGERIA’S FUTURE TO UNPAID FOREIGN DEBTS?
It was reported that a sum of N1. 62 trillion was generated by Federal Government in the last month as IGR and N1.5 trillion was used to service debts and yet the Buhari Administration is bent on acquiring a US$ 50 BILLION Chinese loan to complete Railway projects and jeopardize the sovereignty of coming generations yet unborn if they defaulted in payment terms, conditions and agreements?

EMPHASIS ON DIVERSIFICATION TO AGRICULTURE SHOULD NOW BE DIVERTED TO MORINGA FARMING!
President Buhari’s Minister of Agriculture is aware of the “MORINGA ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA, under the umbrella of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), which is set to support APC to solve unemployment challenge of youths across the 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria, but is yet to back them up while insecurity thrives in the land and death statistics increase by leaps and bounds! 
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought resistant tree which leaves have seven times more Vitamin C than Oranges and fifteen times more potassium than bananas and also Calcium, Protein, Iron and Amino Acids which help in body healing and muscle building and is in high demand across the world. The tree is also fully packed with antioxidants, including substances that can protect cells from damage and boosts the immune system.
For the information of the Minister, the 500-member-strong Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), had in January 2020, offered to genuinely employ10 million youths across the nation to engage in the cultivation of Moringa Plantation, the international economic plant which will lift the nation out of economic woes permanently, with a start off fund of N9billion naira, for local and export purposes!

He should remove all bureaucracy along the way to his office and support President Buhari to leave behind a sustainable legacy of an economic-viable country, between now and 2023 when he would leave office! A stitch in time saves nine!
