Pray for Nigeria. (Happy Independence Day!).

I woke up this morning and the weather outside was mild and beautiful. The sweet, soft, cold and gentle breeze rocked the leaves and blew joy into the atmosphere. The sky was somewhat grey, looking as though it was going to rain but the clouds weren't heavy. Minutes later it began to drizzle and some peaceful rain followed. Everything about the morning was beautiful and gentle. Glory be to God! Nigeria is 54.

    So I began to pray. I prayed for God to bless my country. Bless the soil, trees, animals, people, etc. every single thing that makes up Nigeria.

    I prayed! I prayed to God to provide Nigeria with better leaders who will exhaust their last energy for Nigeria. Leaders who view every Nigerian as their own.

   I prayed! I prayed for God to bless those who strive for my country, give them strength, will and courage to continue their good work.

    I prayed to God! I begged God to guide our leaders onto the right path and protect us against those that are far gone. 

    I prayed! I prayed that the 2015 elections will be held peacefully and justly and for the best man to win.

    I prayed! I prayed to God to bring back our girls, bring back my sisters and for Him to protect them, grant them patience, endurance and perseverance.

    I prayed! I asked God to defeat the enemies of my great country and expose them. And to grant guidance to those that can be guided.

    I prayed to God! To grant my fellow citizens who died as a result of insurgency, diseases and every other responsibility of the government; heaven. Grant health, endurance and patience to those that are affected one way or another.

    I prayed! I prayed for God to give home to the homeless, voice to the voiceless, health to the sick, wealth to the poor, food to the starving, happiness to the sad and care to the orphan and widow. I prayed to God to provide every Nigerian with anything good they need.

    I prayed! Prayed for peace and stability; honesty amongst the rulers and the ruled.

    I prayed! I prayed for God to expose every hypocrite. For Him to clear the corrupt, the launderer, the criminal, the selfish and the heartless from our path.

    I prayed to God! I keep praying for my blessed country. The land of my ancestors; the land of Queen Amina, Oranmiyan and king Jaja. I asked asked God to protect the home of Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa and Awolowo.

    I prayed to God to watch over and enrich my fatherland. And most of all, I prayed! I pray! And I will continue to pray for Nigerian unity in Diveristy!

Happy Independence Day my people!!!
