Hope In Time Of Crisis: A Call For Unwavering Faith In Nigeria – Ayobami Ladipo

Dear Nigerian Youths, Friends, and The Social Media Community.

 

I feel the need to share some words with you this morning, not just for communication’s sake but because it’s the right thing to do at a time like this when we’re all groaning in pain.

 

Indeed, times are hard, the pain is unbearable, the cost of living has tripled and the ripple effect of the current economic hardship on the common man can only be imagined.

 

Truth be told, we are all SUFFERING!

Let’s take a moment to situate this correctly, especially for those of us who are not public office holders but campaigned for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, believed in the manifesto, and are still optimistic that he’ll deliver his good promises to Nigerians, it’s not been easy.

 

Believing in a mantra or giving support to the president at a time like this does not take away the pain, it doesn’t alienate me or any of his supporters from the people or the present economic hardship, it just shows that we still believe that pain is normal when something good is about to spring forth.

 

Standing on the mandate no mean say leg no dey pain oh, but just like Isaac believed in Abraham his father to the point of death when he had thought he would be slaughtered as a sacrifice to God before the Almighty provided a ram, we also believe that the ongoing reforms will yield great results and restore our country’s lost glory.

 

When we stop believing, hope fades away and nothing good will come through, hence the PLEA for calm and for us all to put aside our political or ethnic differences right now, let’s persevere a little more and keep up the conversation for a better and working Nigeria.

 

We won’t stop talking, we won’t stop engaging government, we won’t stop registering our displeasure via the right channels but PLEASE let’s come together as one and show some love to one another at this trying time.

 

Just like the Bible says, weeping may endure for the night but joy cometh in the morning, May the joy of Nigeria come so quickly, and May we all be alive to witness a new Nigeria that’ll be full of prosperity and greatness.

 

As I conclude, I want to plead with you all that we refrain from needless curses, insults, and abuse, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, and TOGETHER shall we witness greatness at the end.

 

Naija Shi Ma Dun

God Bless Nigeria
