This is Nigeria

You can buy a land and re-buy it many times because their laws are not stable. The community leaders will tell you they don't know you. 

You can start building a school or company and envious neighbours will report you to some authorities that you are building without approval. And the authorities won't even confirm first, they will be bribed to come stop your work. You have to now pay them again to release your tools. 

...And so on. 

....This is why some people don't want stress in their lives, they just relocate to another Country. But the thing is this, those countries we run to had their foundational issues when they started developing. I believe it's time we pray the right prayers so that these ills will stop. And also be real Christians in our places of work. Many Christians are still padding government fees. N200 will automatically be N5000. And tomorrow, they will say government is corrupt. No oh, it's the citizens and middle men who are more corrupt. 

Please, let's change. We have prayed about forces and enemies for too long. Let's pray about our own selves being an enemy to National progress. When next we pray, let's table these things to God, let's repent, and let's change Nigeria and be the Light in this dark world.
