#SLIDING TACKLE... GODS OF THE HOLY CITIES God is too big to live in Jerusalem or Mecca and I wonder the God some persons go to worship or visit in Jerusalem or Mecca. This is because God does not reside in any particular territory. But if you may ask me, I will say it might just be mammon, the god of money, fame, guns and power they seek in those holy cities. Forgive me, I may sound so cynical on the recent religious outing of President Goodluck Jonathan accompanied by some prophets and government officials but I am angry at the fact that Nigerians like to seek refuge elsewhere than their country. The last time an Israeli came to this country was just on business transaction; even the man from Saudi Arabia too. We spend millions of dollars to sponsor pilgrims to travel to some holy cities that are far away from holiness and that serves as a conduit pipe to siphon our common wealth. Going to Jerusalem or Mecca is a tourist affair, if I may say, and why should a country concern herself with such? Religion is a vehicle in which one finds solace in his or her creator. The President is fooling us by running to Israel for cleansing before his declaration for re-election. His trip to Israel is clear indication of his religious bigotry, he is setting the country on a coalition course. Because by this, he wants Nigerians to vote along religious lines. Why cant he go to Mecca as-well and allow the imams to invoke prayers and Quran on him if truly he has Nigerians at heart and not pursing an unholy agenda. The priests of Amadioha & Sango will be waiting around the corner for their turns too; to complete the three religious tiers of government as practised only in Nigeria !!! *una good morning...ghanaman signing in*
