Bishop Oyedepo's visit to Yar'adua: He owes his members some explanations.

While Nigeria seems to be losing everything, it will be irreparably bad if she loses the prophetic directions of the few men of God with integrity she has been blessed with. For the past five months, the Acting President, the now number one citizen of the country is yet to set his eyes on Umaru and it doesn't seem yet a crime against the office of the Presidency to us enough to take a drastic step to address the issue. All we do now is to have an Acting in place of a practically non-existent President. Everyone seems now to keep fingers crossed as we have always done until the abnormal becomes the celebrated norm of the land. This Nigerian arm-folding is our greatest curse. We don't have enough strength to fight a cause for too long. The oppressors of our souls already by now understand that too well, so their evil schemes will surely prevail if only they could turn deaf ears to the ailing masses a little longer. Our curse soon takes effect once more and we get settled and everyone folds the complacent and indifferent arms again. We don't look so long enough to why we must fight to win now or fold arms to fight another time. The voice of the people is constantly being squashed and here we are always living to fight another time wars we could have won once and for all. He who refuses to conquer leaves the battle for his children to fight.
It may be just normal that darkness covers the land at the moment, but the worst is around the corners when there will be no light left to shine even if we do not want the darkness no more. The so called "private matters" involving a visit of some clerics to a wanted president, as declared by majority of Nigerians including the Acting President, is a private breach of trust. The cleric should stare clear of these embarrassing situations if they will not be able to speak to the yearnings of Nigerians. I was wondering what Bishop David Oyedepo will tell his church people on Sunday following his visit. Will he pretend that those people do not want a report on the state of their President's health? Will he act like he is not responsible to them? I wish he had never been part of the visit; I will advise, if possible, rather than stain your hands and say it's nobody's business. Do not join them in playing on the intelligence of Nigerians. These members of the Living Faith Ministries International deserve to know something about the visit or have an apology for not being able to tell.
One will keep wondering what it is they all see that they cannot tell. A corpse in Presidential garment? Or what? Not telling breeds more curiosity and it is worse that the Presidency of our nation is being thus mocked and ridiculed by the Umaru's family. It is not a crime to be sick. The whole is greater than the part, we cannot continue to drag our nation's nobility in the mud of mockery and insensitivity to the pulse of its own people.
Let the prophets stay in the prophetic designation and act right always.
O God of Creation, direct our noble cause, guide our leaders right, help our youths the truth to know...
