Because of the way things are in the politics of Nigeria and the economy, many predicted

that the future will be even harder for the coming generation. But the Almighty

said it would not be so after seeing how things are in the country.

 

 

God’s Visit to Nigeria

By Godspower Oboido

Since the story of Adam and Eve man believes that God has never visited any other people or place again, but they are wrong. God saw how the earth was in sin then H e sent His only begotten and lovely son Jesus Christ to die for man's sins and Jesus obediently did.

After Nigeria's independence, some good-headed leaders ruled the nation and they did it well. As a result every Nigerian was happy. That really pleased God and man (Nigerian citizens). But there came a time when some bad heads came into power and ruled the nation ruthlessly. They misused the resources and turned the economy the other way, every citizens of the nation started noticing suffering and some even starving due to poor leadership.

Nigeria lost her pride and Nigerians started asking if the Almighty was watching the evil video of the politics in Nigeria. It remained so till date and some thought God had turned His face away from us.

Because of the way things are in the politics of Nigeria and the economy, many predicted that the future will be even harder for the coming generation. But the Almighty said it would not be so after seeing how things are in the country.

Well, God himself visited Nigeria instead of sending His Son Jesus for the second time to earth. I know many are surprised because they are unaware when God came. But it happened. 

The visit of Queen Elizabeth, George Bush, Tony Blair, and other prominent people brought some development to the nation. But the greatest happening was God’s Visit to Nigeria—it will bring and has brought a lot of changes in the system in general, the politics, the economy, and lot more.

God visited Nigeria spiritually. He didn’t come to earth. We still await his physical  arrival. When it happens, everything will change—a new president will come that will rule the nation well. God’s Visit to Nigeria will be a universal one, not only in Nigeria history but also for world history.

I was born to Mr and Mrs Oboido from Delta State in Nigeria. I have three brothers and an elder sister. I have finished my primary and secondary education in Nigeria and looking forward to the university education. I wish to study abroad. I was supposed to go for an engineering course in school but I found out that writing was an inborn thing that I can do very well, though I’m still going for engineering.

I have lots of writings to sell abroad and even painting works, sort of international and universal stuff. I currently work as a book messenger in a bookshop close to my house and as such I get informed in all areas. The family I come from is a gifted family. My immediate elder brother is a skillful footballer but unknown yet. Dad was an architect though aged and mum is late. The rest of my brothers ate striving for their education. My most eldest sister is a teacher.

By God’s grace I look forward to publish my novel this year.
