NIGERIAN POLITICIANS AND THE SPIRIT OF UNFORGIVENESS !!! Politicians of Nigerian extraction have the penchant to run down enemies until they have been crushed by a moving trailer, ciourtesy of their spirit of unforgiveness. Unforgiveness, by my observation, is a spirit which keeps reminding one of the wrong, injury done by the other party even when it is illogical, unreasonable or untenable to hold on to such grievances. The person therefore, prays for opportunity to seek revenge. All these spirits of unforgiveness is dragging Nigeria backwards. Business of state is abandoned to channel time, funds and energies towards fighting and revenging perceived opponents. While billions of dollars is spent to fight opponents, poverty is ravaging Nigerians. The bank accounts of fuelers of the enemity continue to grow while the nation lies in depravity. Awolowo never forgave Abiola for betraying him. Azikiwe never forgave Okadigbo. Ekwueme never forgave Jim Nwobodo. Tukur is at war with Murtala Nyako. It is war, unforgiveness all over. Nigerian politicians must shun this spirit of unforgiveness. The future generation is learning that unforgiveness is a part of the system. They are sowing evil seed all over the nation. One day, the citizenry will become unforgiving and descend on all these feasters over their common wealth. Let the politicians jettison unforgiveness, embrace forgiveness ,which is a gift of God and requirement in godliness and all these tensions in the Nigerian polity will reduce.
