On this day, (Sunday) April 29, 2012, Oh Lord, hear my prayer. Dear God, hear the heartbeats of millions of helpless and seemingly hopeless Nigerians hiding and wishing in hell-holes all across the nation, waiting for and praying against the next calamity.
This is my only prayer: May our anger and disgust at the foolishness and recklessness of our leaders attract kindred spirits, and snowball into a for...ce strong enough to create tidal waves that will sweep the true enemies of Nigeria away.
So far away that they will not be able to retrace their steps to our shores and plague us again. Let the waves be so strong and so pervasive that those coming after them will of their own volition flee from our country and seek refuge far away from our commonwealth.
Then, oh Lord, bring into fore selfless and intelligent leaders who cannot sleep until they have fixed major issues and facilities afflicting our daily experience. Leaders who think on their feet; not those who think after they have spoken; or wait for con men to think for them.
This is not difficult for you Lord. And you have done it severally in time past; we really do need your majestic intervention now in a dramatic fashion similar to what you did for your children in Egypt.
Note that majority of us in this nation worship you earnestly in different forms; we really do feel entitled to be called children of God. And you have promised (and you cannot lie) that when we, who fear and trust you, move close to you, you will likewise move close to us, and be our God. This is that time we really want you to come through for us.
We can do the rest ourselves, as soon as you get rid of the locusts eating us dry. We are not lazy or unimaginative: we have the capacity and ability to work and excel in all fields; we can soar to the greatest heights of human endeavours; when we are rid of these corrupt, retrogressive, infernal looters who pretend to be our leaders. Just do the needful, oh Lord. And do not discriminate - our enemies are everywhere, in different tongues, tribes, states, regions, parties and organisations. Do not discriminate Lord, and kindly suspend your mercies until your tidal wave has completed its purging.
Thank you Father, for heeding my cry and answering my prayer. Amen and Amen.

POSTSCRIPT:
ABOUT THE TIME I WAS WRITING THESE LINES ABOVE, MEAN MESSANGERS OF MASOCHISM WERE UNLEASHING HORRORS ON WORSHIPPERS AT TWO CHRISTIAN SERVICES IN BUK, KANO, AND ANOTHER IN MAIDUGURI.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN KILLING PEOPLE WHO ARE PRAYING TO GOD FOR DELIVERANCE AND HELP IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND FOR THE NATION?
WHAT DOES THE LEADERSHIP WANT TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY SWOOP ON THESE BELZEBUBS?
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN FORCE FAILS? WHEN DIALOGUE FAILS? WHEN RETRIBUTION FAILS? WHEN ACCESS TO AMMUNITIONS IS MADE ILLEGAL, YET UNATHOURIZED DENIZENS ARE IN EVIL POSSESSION OF WEAPONS OF HATE AND DESTRUCTION? AND INNOCENT PEOPLE, UNFORTUNATE TO HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES IN A PARTICULAR PART OF THE COUNTRY, ARE TOSSED AND GUUNNED DOWN LIKE CHICKEN?
GOD, WHAT SHALL WE DO? CAN YOU KEEP SILENT FOR EVER? WILL YOU NOT INTERVENE? WILL YOU NOT JUDGE INSTANTLY?
ARISE, OH LORD...UNLEASH YOUR WRATH ON WORKERS OF INIQUITIES...
