I feel like leading "Occupy Nigeria v2" ahead of 2015 - Oshiomole

Edo state governor Adams Oshiomhole has warned that there is so much evil in the land that he currently feels like going on protest against the system.

He spoke when the national executive members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) visited him in Benin yesterday.

"Right now many of us are worried about the goings on in the country, I cannot stage a protest now because I will be misunderstood, but my heart is in the mood of protesting, so that my own children will not inherit the iniquities of the evil we see every day", he said.

He added, "We are in very challenging times and we are buffeted with a good number of elite entrusted with state powers at various levels privatising those powers and behaving as if they are gods and dealing ruthlessly with those who are powerless and applying the resources in a manner that is offensive to the poor."

Oshiomhole said Nigeria is treading a dangerous ground that might threaten the foundation of its existence. "Things happening around, for me, represent very dangerous signals. There are people who do not wish the country well and unfortunately there are men and women who cannot claim to have a future and messing up the future for everybody else.

"It is the lot of the Christian community to speak out where it matters, so that those who are deaf can hear and those who are blind may have their sight restored so that together we will build a nation that is God fearing and where the people will benefit from the resources that God so generously endowed us with.

"We need a lot of activism as we approach 2015, that a nation is not like a private enterprise, that only the people are permanent, leaders will necessary come and go and that is the promise of democracy, we need you to help all of us. http://allafrica.com/stories/201307231131.html
