Nigerians Should Be Patient – Bishop Okonkwo by Sufdavinci(m): 1:15pm On Apr 02, 2016
Popular pastor and Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed
Evangelical Mission (TREM), Mike Okonkwo, has faith
in President Muhammadu Buhari to fix Nigeria, saying
that “it will be foolhardy to say things will change
overnight”.
Okonkwo, who was a vocal supporter of President
Buhari during the 2015 election, also said Nigerians
are ‘naturally impatient’ and ‘once there is a little
pressure we’ll say we don’t want again’.
While expressing confidence in Buhari’s ability to
‘change’ Nigeria, the Bishop said: “I read somewhere in
the social media a young man who said we should go
back to corruption since things appear not to be
working out well. I said so we should go back to the
vicious cycle? I replied the young man and said he
was talking nonsense.”
“Yes, things are not too stable but that is to tell you
the rot the nation has degenerated to. You see, we are
not fighting corruption. Nigeria is corruption.
Everywhere you turn, every sector you turn, you find
corruption.”
“From the messenger to driver to the boss, everyone
is involved. Corruption has become a second nature to
us. The truth is you hardly find anyone that has not
been dragged into the industry of corruption. It is as
bad as that. Corruption has become the biggest
industry in the nation.”
“Now that Buhari is there, it will be foolhardy to say
things will change overnight. Buhari will not completely
eradication corruption because it’s been with us for
decades. If anyone is expecting Buhari to change this
even if he stays for 15 years, the person is not being
sincere. I believe the current administration is fighting
so hard to put things in place. The things we are
seeing is corruption fighting back. We have saboteurs
in the system that will take time to be detected and
flushed out.”
“There are people enjoying where we were. They were
making it with the situation we had then. They have a
lot of money in their hands so they can do anything;
they can create problems. But if we endure a lot, I
believe things will be better.”
“I believe the current crop of leaders will fix this
nation. That is why some people are fighting them
back. It is because they know within themselves that
they can deliver.”
“They have wonderful programmes. The budget has
just been passed. So, let’s watch between now and
end of the year for things to start taking shape.”

The Clergyman has just expressed the simple truth. The country won't be fixed overnight. Things would be tougher before it gets better.
God help our beloved country.

Boko haram was not corruption fighting back?

No sir. We can't cover incompetence with "corruption fighting back" we can't just reduce everything to corruption. Even incompetence we will say it's corruption and corruption fighting back.

No sir,
