To the Nigerian Church, whilst I celebrate the increasing multiplicity of your presence in nooks and corners of Nigeria, the grandeur of your buildings and the many universities you have created.
I query the absence of a stand beyond prayers, a stand deeper and more analytical, a stand that responds to the crises that has become Nigeria, leading to a response that speaks truth to power.
A response that addresses the crises manifest in the inability of our government to have a fully functioning emergency service. A response beyond tears and the symbolic.
I ask how can the Church respond in the face of an impotent government and in the face of a confounding enemy called corruption?
