I never knew that Nigeria is in the spiritual wilderness of self-realization before the vision came to me revealing it.
In the vision, I accompanied a pressure group mostly young citizens to a conference hall, where another group of elderly people were already waiting.
There was one demand made by the young citizens who said they wanted to have their share of rights, but it ended in an argument and there was an angry walkout by the youths who looked tough.
The mood with which they walked out terrified me to hide beside a raffia tree standing in a forest-like wilderness. I heard the youths threatening fire and brimstone and seizing the road front and back. I passed across a bridged canal on a white flat plank. It was a touchy issue.
Those of us that were touched by the complexities involved in the politics of Nigeria, and in the economic mismanagement of the nation's resources, at times see visions based on the causes of the problems in the spirit.
The complexities, the economy, the resources mismanagement, the problems and the controversies are being flanked on one side by some well-determined constructive elements who can build Nigeria, and on the other side occupied by destructive forces who always bossed Nigerians over the wealth of the nation.
I humbly wish to thank those leaders of Nigeria in the past and at present, who have done well in their political positions of power so far, and whose eyes weren't focused only on the wealth of the nation.
I want to reveal to the people of this nation the spiritual area where the problems are seated about politics and position of power, based on who and who should have the right to control the wealth of Nigeria at will.
Even in your State, Local Government and Family you may be given a position, but it could be withstood by people who you never opposed having their share. It could be a result of the actions of some totalitarians, wanting to control the income or the privileges of a cartel or group edging others out.
The only controversy all the time in Nigeria particularly is the wealth of the nation, which a group of people in power had always tried to control totally.
The controversy has been the only problem facing Nigerians, and the question is who will be in control of wealth generation, the distribution and the use of the resources either by hook or crook? That's where the crux of the matter created arguments.
Two major elements are at each other's throats in this case and there is always a big gap between them from time to time.
The gap has been there at a fast rate of widening increase for a long time without limits.
It has created divisions of interest amongst the two warring elements in politics, and in the business of getting the material things of life to win the race and be in power first.
The ultimate target is to be in control, be in command and be in charge of Nigeria's wealth or even a corporate opportunity.
The two warring elements generate big problems with divisions of interest all along, and the honesty needed for a solution is scared away completely for one reason or the other.
The divisions of interest made honesty to step aside watch, hear and witness the way things are being carried out.
Honesty always accompanied the two warring elements to the negotiation table but decides to stay behind as soon as the argument about who will be in control brought controversy at the competing meeting point.
So long as the controversy remains unsettled with the two elements, honesty may decide to stay away for the problems to continue, no solutions may be found and the danger will be on the increase and nonstop.
Honesty is the Will of God, it is the eyes of the Spirit, it is like a watchdog and the witness of the whole matter, about what is going on with the elements at war with everything possible.
The elements are zeroed into four segments trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
The first elements at each other's throats are the rich and the poor, where the widest gap exists.
The second elements are the inquisitive Youths who are not yet wealthy, and the Elderly rich politicians who attract different interest groups to give them combined massive support and solidarity.
The third elements are the politicians in power and the bourgeoisie not in power that are in an argument, over who will be in charge of the affairs of the nation and who leave the stage at any point in time.
The fourth elements are the wealthy ones in the country and those in power, in authority and in control quarrelling over how Nigeria's wealth should be shared amongst themselves.
The four segments are fused into two major human societies:- (1) The local masses are mostly made up of the younger pressure groups on one side, demanding full attention.
(2) The political masters in power, mostly made up of the wealthy ones at the helm of affairs in government and businesses, are the weightier side hoarding opportunities.
That's the natural arrangement based on spiritual grounds, that offers both sides the dual rights and opportunities to negotiate the way forward, but there is a faceoff yet to be resolved with the divided four segments.
These four segments in their groups have divided interests on how to survive in the war of wealth generation and the rule of law, which is the only basis for playing politics and seeking power through the ballot box.
That's where we are now and that's why the Spirit persuaded me, to tell people that Nigeria's wealth is the only controversy.
Politicians can make promises fulfilled or not fulfilled but do not yet respect the subject of the controversies concerning Nigeria's wealth, and the justice question with equal answers.
To God is the glory forever.
