The faults we criticise so severely in others, in our leaders are anchored in us, in greater dimension.
The situation is as the Lord admonished us: “Thou beholdest the mote in thy brother’s eye and considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye!”
Nobody should blame the other. For we have all strayed away from the Natural Order as expressed by the Natural Laws, Which express the Holy Will of the Almighty Father on earth.
Everywhere in Nigeria, as elsewhere on earth, there is a wanton disregard of the Natural Laws.
Hence the chaos and confusion, the disorder prevailing virtually everywhere; the heightened wickedness, injustice, lovelessness, mass hunger and poverty, and kindred other evils.
We all caused this situation. Thus we attracted ourselves to this environment to correct ourselves and be better human beings.
Each should beam the searchlight on him or herself, change from within, address our problem from its root, and change from within.
We should seek where we had gone wrong, and the right path we should now follow inwardly and outwardly – the path shown us only by the Natural Laws otherwise called the Laws of Creation, or Divine Laws. Rather than blaming others.
We are the only architects who can rebuild our country Nigeria anew from the ground up.
Henceforth, we should individually strive to keep our thoughts pure, and let our deeds develop from this foundation of purity.
By this, as we have been assured, we will bring peace and be happy.
