 The people are now aware of the nocturnal conspiracy that persists in the offices of the ''wicked rulers'' of all levels of government.

Heinous acts are directed and ordered with a single stroke of the pen.

The lives of millions have been converted to dice by the leadership, even as men of God relentlessly expose those who scheme and cheat from hearts that are harder than rock.

Those in charge are pressing on with policies that are anything but people-friendly, despite the loud outcry of millions of citizens.

Surprisingly, the personalities involved revolve around threats, harassment, intimidation, and attacks through those that are responsible for the protection of lives and property.

Curiously, the dictatorial attitude of the leadership has already attracted prompt measures from those whose approach to leadership is hinged on integrity, transparency and accountability.

Elijah the prophet spoke out when the kings led their people off the track.

He also taught the people of Israel all they needed to know about the Lord.

Elijah alerted King Ahab of the imminent drought in the land, and afterwards, he went away to Zarephath, where God, through a widow, provided for all his needs.

In times of need, God will show you His care and love by providing for all your needs.

Homosexuality, sodomy, pedophilia, defilement, rape among others have become worrisome crimes against humanity.

Young children have long been initiated into these crimes, and they have now accepted them as ways of life.

Olorunsogo, Molete, Molusi, Onafunwa Solanke, Oshodi, Aluko, Scout Camp, and Felele are all communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, where crime and criminality have now been integrated as the norms and values.

However, the presence of adults in these communities exposes the origin of these social vices.

Accusing fingers are pointing to the choice of leadership that feigns ignorance over the rot that is everywhere.

 Develop the act of doing good always. Make it a habit.

Good deeds are good reflections of your background and upbringing.

Let people notice the good in you. Read Psalms 119:68

Workers in both the public and private sectors of all sectors of the economy in Nigeria are yet to attain the acceptable state of mind to guarantee unimpeded productivity.

Living wages and human-friendly conditions of service boost efficiency, effectiveness, and diligence in economies that value the worth of their workforce.

However, lamentations, complaints, grumblings, and arguments have for so long characterized the approach of workers to the scheme of things.

Sadly, the multiple effects of the obvious disregard for the workforce have manifested in all sectors of the economy.

Comrade Andrew Emelieze is the convener of the All Workers Convergence and Federal Workers Forum.

Comrade Emelieze laments that the situation is almost hopeless, just as he calls on those in charge to salvage the country's helpless workers.

''The new national minimum wage is nothing to write home about. Workers in Nigeria are in a state of confusion over the implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage. The amount that was added to our salaries is inconsequential, demeaning, and equally exploitative.

Federal workers are still in deep shock as the January salaries were reduced, the annual increment is missing, the so-called N40,000 consequential adjustment minimum wage was withheld, and there is no readily available explanation from the federal government. Moreover, 5 months of wage award arrears are yet to be paid, and promotion arrears are still being expected in addition to so many other arrears. Surprisingly, just as December salaries were delayed, some ministries, departments, and agencies are yet to receive January salaries.'' Comrade Emelieze revealed.

Indeed, those who worship God and mammon simultaneously are already blaming themselves and their sponsors.

It is imperative that we learn and practice all that is right. 

We must learn how to live as God's covenant people to pave the way for an unhindered worship of God with our whole hearts. 

Read Deuteronomy 5:1-15, 6:4, 5.

Parents and guardians are very worried that their children and wards are no longer exhibiting tendencies that will positively impact the economy.

Social vices, deviant behavior, and immorality are now the indicators in different parts of the country.

To this extent, the founder, spiritual head, and Gand Imam and spiritual head of Shafaudeen Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke, passionately appealed to the federal government to identify and develop the skills of young Nigerians to ensure the revival of the country's economy.

Prof. Olagoke made this appeal on Tuesday in a paper titled ''BURY NOT THE TALENTS OF OUR CHILDREN'' at the Shafaudeen 2025 INTERDISCIPLINARY PLENARY SESSION in Ibadan, Nigeria.

''The federal government must create an enabling environment for skills development for our children to be able to compete in the competitive global market. The age of Prof. Sabur at 19, Dorothy Jan at 17 for Ph.D., and Ester Okade Ph.D. at 16 has shown that resilient Nigerian children can achieve so high if we embrace their talents to aim for greatness regardless of our age—young or old. Let us work towards the UN definition of sustainable development as a function of good governance without compromising the abilities of the young people to develop at their own pace.''

Regardless of your age or how insignificant you are, you can be a positive influence for the Lord.
