It is no longer news that many great Nations today, are being led or ruled by their worst. There are supposedly great Nations, and there are Nations that are still struggling to be great. In the case of the latter, no thanks to bad leadership. Many across the world today have come to terms with the fact that Nations like Germany, United States, Canada, China and Britain, are great Nations. It is undoubtedly that many people today don’t reckon with many African Nations as being great. Even though many believe countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Algeria et cetera could…

The first task in proffering solutions to problems in leadership is to first and foremost, look within. Irrespective of the myriad of problems that any nation, organization, family or entity may be confronting per time, the solutions to those problems usually requires first, that the leaders of such entities look within, so that they can bring about a permanent solution to such problems. When I mean look within, it connotes a number of things. First, it means to look at the available resources and see how far those resources can help towards bringing about solution. Take for example a nation…

It is almost impossible to see Righteous Leadership  anywhere in the world. The phrase “Righteous Leadership ” only sounds beautiful in the ears, but almost unattainable. As we all may have come to realize already, that the vacuum in any society today is usually linked to bad leadership. Whether in Africa or in North America, Europe or in Asia; society vacuums are created by leadership vacuums. When leaders fail in their duties to do the right thing, it greatly have negative repercussions on the society. It would then seem that effective leadership have become the solution for every problem…

Political correctness is the reason why modern day spiritual leadership and authority have become so weak over nations and people. Apostles, Prophets, Pastors et cetera always want to appear to be on the side of the government and at the same time, on the side of the people. They don’t want to offend authorities or the powers that be. They want to appear to be modest, honest and less concerned about the affairs of their nations. This is why many of them keep mute in the face of corruption, nepotism, and the injustices that happens in their society, leaving the…

Nations rises and fall to the degree of how yielded they are to Spiritual Leadership. God no doubt is interested in the affairs of nations. And so, at every point in time, He raises spiritual leaders that are meant to be His mouthpiece in nations. Many countries who only reckon with their political leadership alone and don’t have anything to do with men and women that God has raised to be the spiritual watchmen over such countries, are missing out on many grounds. Firstly, such a country would not know the mind of God for her per time. Secondly, political…

You probably might have heard or read somewhere that some state governors in Nigeria are going ahead to relax the lockdown in their respective states to give room for religious activities to resume, even amidst the threats that Covid-19 figures are still increasing in Nigeria. You probably have read that governments, with more timely and stricter responses to the Coronavirus pandemic have been more successful in curtailing its spread. I was reading just recently how New Zealand was able to manage the spread of Covid-19. It was nothing short of timely response and excellent leadership really. The government’s swift…

Practically many Church buildings in many countries where the Covid-19 pandemic is ravaging have remained closed to physical Church meetings. Irrespective of their sizes and the number of people they could seat per time, 100,000 capacity, 50,000 capacity, 500 capacity or even less. It is true the Scripture admonished that we should not forget the assembling of ourselves together in Hebrews 10:25. However, I don’t know if there had been a time in the past, either in Church history or in contemporary history, where Church building has been ask to close for one reason or the other. Even in…

During this period of lockdown, there is every tendency that those who have been struggling with their abusive husbands or wives before now suffer a bit and find it very hard to cope with them. Already, there are concerns in China and France as to the potential threat that this Covid-19 lockdown may have on those in one abusive relationship or the other. According to the World Health Organizations (WHO), violence against women tends to increase during every type of emergency, including epidemics, with women who are displaced, who are refugees, and living in conflict-affected areas as being the most…

I have taken my time to observe keenly how leaders of faith across Nigeria responded to government directives as to the need to reduce the size of their meetings to a limited number of not more than 50 persons or less in order to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country. While many Pastors did all they could and obeyed this direct instructions, it was reported that others did not comply, especially those that we know and refer to as “fathers of faith” in the country. I also saw a video how a renowned Muslim cleric defiled the order…
