''Many women are good wives, 
but you are the best of them all"
Charm is deceptive and beauty disappers, but a woman who honours the Lord should be praised.
Proverbs 31: 29 -31
Is the voice of the people the voice of God?

Is  the voice of the people really the voice of God. Can the majority not be wrong? Can the minority  not be right?. Is democracy really democracy for all? or as long as the majority are satisfied we can disregard the minority and their voice? is this not a costly mistake?
Can a multitude of people be wrong?, take the wrong decision (s)?

Can men mock God for whatever a man (men) sow they shall reap. Of course when the majority are wrong as they often are God leaves them to face the consequences of their error. That is why it is said in some quarters that the quality of leadership is determined by the quality of follower-ship

When a nation disregards the truth and exalts evil, when a nation has been brought to its knees by corruption and massive looting, when a nation disregards the safety of the few and exalts the idiosyncrasies of the mad extortionists, then they have the type of leaders they deserves.

My God given Right to rule!


I am amazed at how politicians who have killed, stolen, cheated and trampled on people's rights can believe that they were placed in authority by God.

In resent days a notable Nigerian politician defected to another party and declared that it is only God that can remove him from his post.

Which god put him there?

Political leaders have used this phrase as a mantra to scare people that if i am there surely it is God's will.

Political leaders whose intent and purpose is to steal, kill and destroy, whose main intent is to pocket as much of the nations resources as he can and to plunder the people mercilessly, who intentionally steals votes, disallow the voice of the people, bribed to have others vote converted to him, who knowing encourages thuggery of other peoples children for his evil purpose, who speaks with a forked tongue, who can not be taken at his words, whose words or promise counts for nothing? be placed in a position of authority by God?

Can a man who has no known relationship with the real masses ( not sycophants) claim to be placed in a position of authority by God? Or have we allowed  false religious beliefs to derail our national goals. What are the values we believe in?

God cannot be mocked whatever a man sows he shall reap. The fact that you are in a position of authority does not mean that you are Favorited by God. God may place you there for your destruction, God has actually done that before -- remember Pharaoh? 

If you as a political leader believes that God has placed  you in authority then know of a certainty that GOD WILL JUDGE YOU for your actions and in-actions, your utterance and the thoughts of your heart.
You can not mock God saying He placed you in authority and He alone can remove you without facing the consequences of giving account to Him whom you profess placed you there.


No human leader whether political, spiritual or financial should lay claim to be God's favorite for the post they occupy , instead such post should be seen as trust of which an account must be rendered at the appropriate time in this world and in the next.
