NIGERIA INDEPENDENCE: AFFLICTION OR APPROBATION?

...this is an awkwardly experience! Among the first ten Nigerian youths I extended the routine greetings of "happy independence anniversary"  what I got in exchange were totally unpleasant. Ranging from " what are we celebrating? Celebrating 95 days of University students roasting in their homes?  to "celebrating ironing your dresses whenever the power holding wants you to do so?  On this premise, let me ask you the reader...NIGERIA INDEPENDENCE: AFFLICTION OR APPROBATION?                                       Let us continue with 
PRAYER FOR NIGERIA IN DISTRESS    
All powerful and merciful father, you are the God of justice love and peace. You rule over all the Nations of Earth. Power and Might are in your hands and no one can withstand you. We present our country Nigeria before you. We praise and thank for you are the source of all we have and are. We are sorry for all the sins we have committed and for the good deeds we have failed to do.

In your loving forgiveness, keep us save from the punishment we deserve. Lord we are weighed down not only by uncertainties, but also by moral, economic and political problems. Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you. God of infinite goodness, our strength in diversity, Our health in weakness, our comfort in sorrow, Be merciful to us your people. Spare this nation Nigeria from chaos anarchy and doom. Bless us with your kingdom of justice, love and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
