NIGERIA MUST BEWARE OF THIS

Irrespective of the political and other leadership corruption in Nigeria, Nigeria has strived in the area of morals and some level of the fear of God. This can be seen in her effort to reject gay marriage or relationships (homosexuality and lesbianism) and rejection of the motion to scrap out religious studies in the educational system of Nigeria. Before now, natural and manmade disasters were stories and strange phenomena in Nigeria. Though there was the presence of robbery or armed robbery, theft, money laundry, kidnapping, and ritual; but terrorist attacks and bomb explosions were not common in Nigeria before now.

Today, bomb explosions, terrorist attacks, murder, and a high rate of kidnapping have become the order of the day. Flood is becoming common in Nigeria; a good number of different kinds of deadly and contagious diseases often hit Nigeria claiming lives and properties. Suffering, poverty, and chronic hunger that face Nigerians on a daily basis have been blamed on recession or past government. All these and more were not common in Nigeria because, most Nigerians, both leaders, and citizens still maintained some level of morals and the fear of God. Today, however, Nigeria is not only lost in political and economic corruption but she is also getting lost in immoral and social corruption or immorality.

One of the most common news that various newspapers in Nigeria carry today is the case of rape or attempted rape. And the funny thing about the news is that most times, it will be a 33-year-old man with or on 7 years old girl. 45 or 73 old on 9,10,11 or 14 years old girls, and the question becomes why? Nigeria was known for its decency in culture and social interaction. Churches were a significant avenue to combat and condemn all forms of immorality, ill appearance (dressing), and behavior. We had shame and avoided tarnishing our self-image. Today, however, we have borrowed foreign cultures at the expense of our shame, image, value, morals, and fear of God. Just like in the so-called "Developed World," our ladies can boldly appear and walk naked or half-naked on the street without shame. To be a superstar, ladies have to expose their alluring parts, the so-called "Buddy". Our men go on tattoos, plaiting, perming of hair, and wearing different kinds and sizes of jewelry indiscriminately. Appearing on paper with their opposite-sex friends in a nude or half-naked manner has also become a criterion of becoming a superstar.

On the other hand, the Church has worsened the issue, in the sense that so many churches have become a place of fashion parade. Hot trousers, miniskirts, spaghetti hands, show back and breast, etc., are now the kind of dressing styles we see and wear to Church. No wonder a young man will go to Church to seek God and have his sins forgiven, but instead of achieving these, he goes home toasting a lady on his way, exchanging phone numbers, and most times ends up taking her to bed. So that he that comes to Church with the purpose of repentance, becomes two or ten times sinful than he was because of the seductive wears and appearances we see and have in the Church today. Most preachers currently have lots of things to preach and do than to begin to talk to their members about morals, dressing, and values. This is the reason why about 40% of rape and sexual immoral cases involve pastors or ministers of the gospel. And members of the Church take a greater percentage in the remaining part.

Our parents are quick to sue a man who rapes or attempted to rape their little girls. But I wonder most times where the shame and morals of most of our current Nigerian parents have gone when I see the way they dress their little girls today. What we see today is parents, especially mothers dressing their girls of 5 and above years in a way they will appear seriously sexually attractive, so that one wonders most times if they are children or adults. Go to most of our schools today and see how most parents dress their children to school. So many female students' school uniforms are almost pants (underwear). They wear a hot miniskirt to school in the name of a school uniform. Should anything make them bend down, one will see everything under their dresses. The funny thing about this is that; most Nigerian parents or guidance see nothing wrong with this. Most teachers also dress to school as though they are going to a night club and they see nothing wrong with it. These are some of the reasons we have immorality and rape cases even in schools. This time it is a student and fellow student, and another time a teacher and a student. Some students go to schools as virgins but return home disvirgined. So many sexual immoralities go on in most boarding Schools today.

Today, most firms in Nigeria with the approval of some immoral political leaders promote worldliness or immorality in the country. To promote, advertise and sell goods, teenagers are paid to dance seductively on the street half-naked. Making one wonder what concerns the goods with teenage girls dancing half-naked on the street? To make it sound normal, they called it an advert or business strategy. Some will produce drinks and on the bottle of the drink is labeled a half or almost naked woman, so that immorality has also become the strategy of selling goods. What pitiable pessimism and regrettable lugubriousness? These morals, political and religious problems we have in Nigeria today are that along the line, uncultured and untrained children are born and grow up to become uncultured and untrained parents, giving birth to uncultured and untrained children. And if this circle is not broken, we will keep having uncultured and untrained children being born, who will always grow up to become uncultured and untrained parents and the circle continues. And as such we will keep on having moral decadence, political crisis, and religious mess.

To us, we are or becoming civilized; some see this as a way of showing that they have money or wealth and that they have traveled to different parts of the world and become civilized and their eyes well opened (just like Adam and Eve opened eyes and keep their offsprings in this falling and dejected condition). Others believe that this is a way of showing they are educated or learned.

I believe and also know that civilization calls for positive development and advancement. Achieving greater things that can better the standard of our living. If we should learn from the developed world as to be civilized, it should be to learn and establish companies or industries that can manufacture airplanes, cars, modern trains, cell phones, computers, good roads, good and well-equipped hospitals that people from other nations can come and have their diseases well treated; good, conducive and quality education; good and well organized political system and leadership, and food among others. We have not learned what real civilization means or is, rather, we have learned and even want to practice more than the so-called developed world we learn from, nakedness, madness, rape, knapping, robbery, political game (Game of Thrones), terrorism, questioning the Person and existence of God, and all other forms of immorality. What the so-called developed worlds are tired of, and the good and reasonable ones among them are fighting against is what we are grabbing with our two hands and introducing in our nation.

I was flabber-whelmed and maniacally bewildered when I heard, read, and confirmed that the dreaded thing in some parts of the world has been launched in Nigeria. This is the worst of it all which will definitely drag the wrath of God upon the wicked. This is the current evil that some group has introduced in Nigeria. This group called themselves the "Freethinkers Production or ftnaija porn", with their website and also calling for sponsorship, partnership, and promotion. This group has introduced and launched porn companies in the nation; they are going wide on Facebook, tweeter, WhatsApp, and Gmail. This is a practice that helps to frustrate young men and women into humiliating themselves, giving up on themselves, damaging their lives and future, and walking into their doom on will. The Triple X porn videos have been a satanic weapon to destroy the morals, values, lives, and destinies of people, especially young people and mostly in any nation they are. Among other havocs and immorality pornographic industries promotes, is the promotion and encouragement of homosexuality and lesbianism. These industries do not only feature a natural way (though in an illegal and sinful manner) of sexual relationships, but they also promote an unnatural way of having sex. This they do by featuring men having sexual relations with their fellow men and women having sexual relations with their fellow women. This is a way of reducing our young people into thinking and behaving like wild mad animals, dogs, and pigs with no shame, pride, integrity, morals, and values. This will also lead them to other criminal actions, such as drug abuse to keep themselves fit and functional in this unthinkable evil. Kidnapping and human trafficking and using their body as a weapon to break homes, destroy the futures and destinies of others (especially, young people), and snatching husbands from their wives and wives from their husbands, also, for blackmailing and pulling down political leaders with good interest and good leaders of churches are also what these industries can influence them to do.

Most countries where these unthinkable porn industries are operational face lots of moral decadence. Immorality becomes the order of the day, drug abuse and addiction become inevitable. If this is allowed in Nigeria, apart from the wrath of God it will attract, it will also introduce the following:

1. Parents losing their Children: In the developed world where pornography is operational, parents often lose their children, especially their female children to pornographic videos or movies. Through media and other means, they are brainwashed and are deceived into becoming pornographic "Movie Star." One of the ways young people are deceived into this luciferous and satanic video shoot is to present them with a huge amount of money that office jobs may not be able to pay them in months. And to have the boldness to feature in porn video coverage without shame or remorse, they get into or are forced into drug abuse. With this, they waste their lives and damage their futures. If this is allowed in Nigeria, Nigerian parents should as well expect these calamities on themselves and their children, especially female children.

2. Sex Trade: In countries where pornography is operational, young people, especially females and more especially teenagers, are kidnapped and forced into commercial sexual movies. It is either they are kidnapped and raped by their adopters or they are kidnapped and forced to surrender their bodies to men for pornographic videos. Most times, the porn kidnappers go to schools or lay an ambush for any unfortunate students, especially ones dressing and looking sexually attractive coming back from school. They often use handkerchiefs deep in a sleeping chemical substance to force their victims into sleep and become unconscious of themselves. Only to wake up and see themselves in a strange environment where they have no help or power to say no or resist any abuse that will be done on them with full video coverage. The worst part of this is that it can also involve married women with husbands.

Some of the victims don't come back home anymore, others who did come back often come home with emotional trauma, while others will even start doing this as a way of life, what they cannot do without and even as a means of earning a living when they are forcefully or deceptively introduced into this God forsaking and moral rejected and condemning sexual act. If this hopeless and destructive phenomenon is allowed in Nigeria, Nigerians, especially, Nigerians parents should get ready for the disappearance and misbehaviors of their teenagers especially, and have them never come back or to come back as different but negative human beings.

3. No Home or Broken Homes: When anybody especially female is forcefully or deceptively introduced into pornographic movies, he/she will have no hope to have or build a home. When such a person is featured in such an atrocious, and rebarbative film and those who knew his/her identity recognizes him/her, no man will want to have such a woman as a wife; if she has a home before being involved in the porn video, she will lose her home. People will not mind whether she was forced into it or whether she was involved in her own will. The same applies to their male counterparts.

When customers and those who sponsor and make wealth from these obnoxious and moral decadence movies are tired of watching the same persons or faces featured in the company's pornographic videos, the company's agents will be forced to recruit more people, especially, young teenagers even if it means force. To have their way, they will buy authorities with very hard-to-reject fortunes. So that those victims' parents or guidance supposed to complain to, will become the people doing everything possible to ensure that the victims, especially teenagers continue in the destiny destroying porn videos. Only to be giving false hopes and assurances, "Don't worry, we will find your daughter or son and bring the corporates to book." But only to laugh at the victim's parents or guidance as soon as they left back home with false assurance.

4. It Attracts the Anger and Wrath of God: Sodom and Gomorrah have been wiped out of the surface of the earth with fire because of the high rate of immorality. The world of Noah that God wiped away from the surface of the earth with the flood was not short of the high rate of immorality as seen in the world today which Nigerians are adopting and introducing in the nation. So many countries, especially, the so-called "Developed World" who introduce and practice a high rate of immorality, such as, pornographic acts or videos, homosexuality, and lesbianism, etc., faces God's wrath daily and in one way or the other.

In two of my books, I have taken the time to research natural disasters that have occurred in the world. Currently, in September 2017, several people are missing after a landslide struck Bondo in the Swiss Alps on Wednesday morning. Aerial footage shows mud, rocks, and dirt flooding into the village, near the Italian border. Also, a heavy Hurricane Irma hit St Martin, Anguilla, the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Island of Barbuda in the US which reaches the Caribbean. There are several other current news stories of these natural disasters, either earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, etc. These disasters occur mostly in countries that have advanced in science and technology. So that, if it were to be a matter of science and technology, the disasters wouldn't occur. But the disasters serve as God's punishment and warning for constant sinning and rejection of God and His saving Son Jesus Christ. None of the above disasters have vividly occurred in Nigeria. This is not because Nigeria is sophisticated in science and technology. As we all know, Nigeria is still backward in terms of science and technology; so, if it were a matter of science and technology, these disasters would have wiped Nigeria out from the surface of the earth. But it has been God that has been keeping Nigeria safe because of the few that still love, respect, reverence, fear, and still call upon His name in the nation. 

Therefore, if we don't do everything possible to abstain from, and stop this high rate of immorality, especially, the satanic pornographic company or film industry launched in Nigeria to aid the frustration and damaging the future and God-given purpose of Nigerians, especially young people, then Nigeria should expect more calamities in her land and among her people.

In these nations that damn God and live as they please are faced with unthinkable calamities even in the face of their sophisticated science and technology advancement. There is a great flood today, sea eruption tomorrow, landslide today, earthquake tomorrow, or hurricane today, volcanic eruption tomorrow, etc. In addition to the above, kidnapping, bomb explosion, heavy robbery, and a terrorist attack that often involves hostages and loss of lives and properties, and different kinds of sexual harassment, embarrassment, and attack, etc., are like a flood in such nations. These are nations that adopted, justified, and legalized homosexuality, lesbianism, and pornographic movie industries in their nations. However, it is important to note that these are legally illegal, fundamental mistakes, sincerely wrong, factually fallacious, obviously erroneous, and normally abnormal. It is unnatural, uncultural, untraditional, and unreligious. It is the deficiency of man, the hunger of his sinful and uncontained desires which erupted from his constant sinning and disobedience to God his Maker. This he continued doing in secret, but when he finds his way to a leadership position he justifies and legalizes this abominable evil for the fear it may cost him his power, fame, and wealth. So that people who will point accusing fingers at him will say, "That is his right," right to sin against God, nature, and man himself and do abominable things. Such rights only destroy the value, pride, and being or person of man. Hence, though it is legalized, it is still illegal; though it appears fundamental, yet it is a mistake; though the pushovers may be doing it with sincerity of mind, yet it is still wrong; though it may look factual, yet fallacious; though it is obvious that everyone or many are doing and believing in it, yet it is still erroneous, and though it may appear normal, yet it does not stop the act from being abnormal. Since we are adopting these ill behaviors, our children are being raped and molested before age. Flood is becoming a daily or weekly event, bomb explosions are no longer a piece of news, terrorism, kidnapping and religeo-political killing and other vices like them are becoming part of the system. I'm not a prophet of doom, however, it is vividly obvious and crystal clear that more and greater calamities are coming upon Nigeria if these luciferous and satanic attitudes (homosexuality, lesbianism, pornographic video shoot, seductive dressing, wears or appearances, etc) are not fast eradicated in the nation. However, the Just should not be afraid, alarmed, or dismayed for the Just shall live by Faith.

WHAT WE MUST DO TO AVERT THE CALAMITIES

To prevent the coming wrath of God in the nation, the government and the Church must work hand in glove to ensure that these cultural, moral, legal, and spiritual ilicitas (unlawful, illegal, or unacceptable acts) must end in the nation. To do this, the government should at once abolish the pornographic industry recently launched in the nation by the so-called "Freethinkers Production." Get the corporates to book and rehabilitate their employees who are more of young people by providing them with reasonable jobs that can help them earn a living; since money is one of the major things that lead young people into this abomination. The pornographic movies on DVD, VCD plates, and tapes should be declared contraband and should not be allowed to come into the country or sold in the country. There should be a legal rule specifically mapped out for anyone or a group of people found in Nigeria selling or being involved in a pornographic video shoot or movies. Nigeria should also revive its campaign against homosexuality and lesbianism (gay sex, marriage, or relationship) in the nation and should make intensive laws against such. These laws should not just be made, but the enforcement should be strict and practical. Also, the government should establish an organization that can monitor internet access and website or browser providers in Nigeria. Let this organization ensure that immoral and pornographic websites, such as the Triple X porn video website will not be accessible in Nigeria. These steps will go a long way to eradicate these abominable ills eating up the fabrics of the nation.

On the other hand, the Church should go back to being the Church of God, and not a warehouse, business centers, and properties of the so-called "Great Men of God." Churches should go back to becoming a significant avenue of fighting against immorality and other vices like it. By preaching against immorality which is expressed in immoral or seductive wears and appearances (naked or being half-naked), adultery and fornication, rape, homosexuality, lesbianism, and other appearances of evil (sin). Men of God should show more concern for the souls of their members than their pocket (money) and the "Take it in's." Let's address their moral lives, tell them the physical and spiritual importance of decency, holiness, and righteous living, and how it also shows in their dressing, conduct, and general lives. There is also the need to remind ourselves and our members that hell is still real as much as heaven is also real. And we should also let them know this truth that the grace of God is not permission to sin and live our lives as we please, but the grace of God is the power or ability of God given to man to live above sin and live Christ kind of life, which is characterized with holiness and righteousness even in our appearance. This is also the time for Christians, especially, born-again children of God to pray fervently for the presence of God in the nation. These are not the contemporary prayers of fall down and die, or die by fire and thunder, lightning and earthquake no, but prayers of repentance. Prayers for the Holy Spirit to move in His power and convince and convict men of the sin of their sins and lead them to salvation. Also for God to raise end-time true gospel preachers with more of a salvation message who will be sent into Nigeria to spread the word of God with the power that can change and save the total man. Men of God should condemn immorality, both in action, appearance, and dressing, and should not confuse members of the church, especially, the gullible minds and/or baby Christians.

Generally, parents should know that the appearance of their children, especially teenagers, is in their hands. They should mind the kind of clothes they buy for their children and also mind the kind of advice they give to their children, especially about their dressing styles. One of the major things that cause rape is the mad and seductive way our girls and ladies dress today. For there to be a solution to a problem, first the causes of the problem must be identified and tackled. Hence, we as Nigerians must consensually work together and also work on ourselves to eradicate these luciferous and satanic elements that are eating deep into the fabrics of our nation. These must be done to avert the calamities that will befall Nigeria in addition to the ones we are experiencing already. But, if we heed to this Divine warning and instructions, Nigeria shall become a great icon to be reckoned with, Pride of the world and a Holy generation and nation of/unto the Lord God Almighty.

If it appeals to you, you can pass this message or Divine warning and instructions to Nigerians by sharing it with your friends as it is. God save and bless Nigeria. Amen!
