THE FEAR OF POVERTY - THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIANS (Part 1)

THE FEAR OF POVERTY - THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIANS (Part 1)

Some years ago, a Law lecturer in a legal symposium once told us something that sounded like a joke but which was very instructive and indeed made a lasting impression on me.
 

God when creating the different countries of the world, said he,  chose to both bless them with different blessings, especially natural resources and leave with them some natural disaster to counterbalance the blessings of the nations of the world. It was in this mission He (God) and His holy angels began to move round the countries of the world - one after the other - with blessings first. On His arrival at any given country, He(God) would ask His angels to drop just one particular kind of blessing with such a country, but whenever it was the turn of Nigeria, He would order His angels to double the blessing and so it continued until He finished blessing the countries of the world with the various blessings as they have today. Some angels were really not happy with this as it appeared to them that God seemed to favour Nigeria above the rest countries of the world. However, they only murmured amongst themselves but could not muster the courage to ask God the reason for the double blessings on Nigeria at each of the rounds of blessing.
 

Then came the time for the distribution of the natural disasters. As in the first distribution of blessing, God went round the nations with His angels one after the other ordering them to drop some particular kinds of disasters with such nations, but when it came to the turn of Nigeria, to the utter amazement of the holy angels, God forbade them from ever dropping the least natural disaster - at a time when they were all thinking Nigeria was going to have a double portion to counterbalance their double portion of blessings. At that point, the holy angels could no more hide their dissatisfaction with the whole arrangement the Almighty God and Father was making. So, they all in one accord came closer to ask Him why He was seemingly being partial in His dealings with Nigeria as against His nature. The Almighty's answer was that He knew that the angels would not at that point in time understand what Wisdom was behind His actions towards Nigeria until far much later in the history of the world. He further added that Nigeria needed all the blessings she could get from Him as a country but no natural disaster at all as the people that would occupy the territory called Nigeria would prove to be more than enough problems for her.
 

I went home pondering the story and till date, the lessons and deductions from it have not left me. Indeed, one may now ask, was the storyteller right in his story about Nigeria? Are we not truly blessed with abundant resources both natural and otherwise as a nation? Indeed, how many natural disasters have we had as a nation? The answers are obvious or aren't they? So, why haven't we as a nation truly developed and measured up with our counterparts in the world?
 

Now, do we need any prophet to tell us clearly that WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA ARE NIGERIANS AND THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIANS IS THE FEAR OF POVERTY
 

Though we have myriads of problems, the root cause, I mean the very true root cause is and have always been THE FEAR OF POVERTY.

HEALTH TIPS (TOP 6 CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE)

THE TOP 6 CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE:

1. Delaying going to a toilet and Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract
infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible.
 

2. Eating too much salt,You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.
 

3. Eating too much meat. Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys. More meat equals more kidney damage.
 

4. Drinking too much caffeine Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your kidneys start suffering. So you should cut down the amount of coke you drink daily.
 

5. Not drinking water. Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform their functions well. If we don’t drink enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain them through the kidneys. Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily. There is an easy way to check if you are drinking
enough water: look at the colour of your urine; the lighter the colour, the better.
 

6. Late treatment . Treat all your health problems properly and have your health checked regularly.

PRICELESS JEWEL

PRICELESS JEWEL

That's what you are

That's what you've 

always been 

And that's what you'll

always be to me

I'm glad I found you

When I see you

My heart skips 

My feet trembles

The blood in veins 

rushes faster and rapidly

Oh! Rose of my morning

Star of my night

Angel of my world

Sweet Honey

Gracious dove and

Wonderful love of my life

For Price Jewel

I sought

For Priceless Jewel 

I stood

For this Priceless Jewel

I could give all

Had Cupid not sentenced

me to a livelong love

imprisonment with you?

And have not I come by reason

of his sentence to

Declare my love to you?

Behold! Through the deadly Kumurukiki

I could go

Through the Great Nile

I could swim

Across the high Kilimanjaro

I could climb

Just to have a taste 

of your love

And retain you 

As my Priceless Jewel!
