NIGERIA AND THE ST. VALENTINES DAY ELECTION. THE STORY, THE RUMORS!

As the General Election in Nigeria draws nearer and closer, our minds are in doubts as to the credibility and the efficiency of the candidates. But, even as we wait for that day being St. Valentines day, we are always fed with rumors of Wars and Divisions from different quarters and that alone has got me thinking and even praying, am i scared, no i can't be, a priesthood holder scared?


Speaking with Latter-day Saints, my word to them has always been, "do the right thing, and let your vote count", i can never force people to vote for a candidate neither is it my duty to campaign for one. But i can try hard to convince you of the prospect one can bring and the gains we stand to enjoy. 

Truth be told, Nigeria has been lagging behind for years, and to me it seems we are 50 years behind time. Hmnnnn! but i still have this feeling it is never too late and can never be, but even at that i feel it is time we start having leaders that will take the welfare of the citizenry into consideration and reduce the joblessness menace. 

To a large extent, the actions, the decisions and the work of any incoming President/Leader will go a long way in translating how mostly latter-day Saints in Nigeria re-adjust and and how effective they will be in keeping some of the commandments. Lets' hope, as some would always give the excuse of i do not have job, i and my family lives in abject poverty and we can't cope. 

But as we wait for that day, we should all know that the change we seek and desire in Nigeria as country lies in our hands, your tool for that change is your voter's card. Do not sell your right and do not disenfranchise yourself and remember we are of the Law and must respect it. Whoever wins must be given the respect and support to take this country to a greater height!

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
