By Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie
At 59, may God bless our leaders and all our
fellow-citizens. May God bless the government and people of Nigeria with
wisdom, courage and patience to work together in harmony so that we may build a
Nigeria that does the will of God, a Nigeria we all can be proud of. All those
who believe in God and who wish Nigeria well must pray and work for a better
Nigeria.

| *Cardinal Okogie |
We must not just bend our knees in prayer, we must also roll up
our sleeves and work for Nigeria. We must overcome our addiction so that
we can enjoy the numerous blessings with which the Almighty had endowed us as a
country—our addiction to falsehood. Our allergy to truth is our greatest
undoing.
