POJOMATICS PENCILS: BUILDING A BETTER NATION WITH THE SPOTLIGHT ON YOU.

CURRENT POSITION IN CONNECTION WITH PAST DECISIONS

       As Nigeria celebrates this year’s anniversary, there exist mixed feelings among her citizens: Some are excited about this historic event, at least we all are alive despite the problems and we are hoping for a better nation some day. Another school of thought is furiously angry with the country. “What’s really there to be happy about” they ask. The prices of things have skyrocketed, the naira is experiencing a free fall almost every day, Boko Haram is fast becoming a world recognized terrorist group, Niger Delta Avengers are destroying some of the nation’s assets, Federal Government is on the cross road on whether to sell some national assets or find an alternative.

       Nigeria has been pushed, not to the wall but to the verge of falling into an ocean of economic recession. It’s normal for this complains to rise up like thick smoke, going straight up to the government. It’s prevalent for the citizens of Nigeria—mostly the youth— to point their fingers of blame to the government for being responsible for all the problems in the country. But come to think of it dear reader, Our great grand fathers sat back and just said, ”Only God can help this nation”, but God seemed not to help them. Our grandfathers were so comfortable in the United State of Complain (USC) waiting for somebody somewhere to perform a miracle but sadly for them, no miracle happened. Our fathers failed to put up their thinking cap because they were waiting for the government. Now, we are in the same situation they were because they failed to give birth to a brain child (solution) or probably, they had a miscarriage few days after conception due to the heat of their then economy.

 A CRITICAL LOOK AT THE MYTHS FROM THE PAST GENERATIONS AND THE TRUTH.

Just before we take any decision, let us look at the mindset our fathers had which is already finding expression in the present day youths.

1. ONLY GOD CAN HELP THIS NATION:

“Only God can help this Nation, that I agree to, but he is searching for Men to be Sent”

—POJOMATICS

       At one point in our life, we must have heard some Nigerians make the above phrase, mostly in connection to the problems in this country. This phrase has been a pill that gives us relieve from our emotional stress; it’s a religious phrase that sounds so ‘spiritual’ when spoken, but dear reader, am sorry to burst your bubbles by saying that this above statement is incomplete. Only God can help this nation but we must be reminded that HE NEEDS A BODY.

“Then I heard the Lord asking, ‘Who should I send as a MESSENGER to this people? Who will go for us?’  I said, ’HERE I AM, SEND ME’ “—Isaiah 6:8 (NLT, emphasis mine)

       From the above Scripture, God is certainly ready to help, He wants to get rid of every vice in our communities, He wants to send solutions to humanity but the problem is the lack of human Body (s). In the land of Egypt, the Israelites were oppressed and they cried unto God but all God did was to send a Solution in a Packaged body which was MOSES’. When God wanted to put an end to racism, He found a vessel called Martin Lurther King Jr, when he wanted to end the problem of sin, he used His son called JESUS who put on flesh and dwelt amongst men. 

God is currently seeing the condition of the country but I believe He is looking for prepared bodies to use as agents of change. He has found bodies like Fela Durotoye, Sam Adeyemi, Ben Okotie-Eboh, Pastor Vera Orhobor, Zion Oshiobugie, Pastor Korede Komaiya and a host of others, but he is in search of more bodies. So the question is: Are you a prepared vessel for such an assignment in such a time as this? (Rom.12:1)

MYTH: ONLY GOD CAN HELP THIS NATION

TRUTH: ONLY GOD CAN HELP THIS NATION BUT HE NEEDS YOU

2. I CANNOT CHANGE THIS COUNTRY AND BESIDES AM NOT IN ANY SEAT OF POWER.

“Being a Solution is an individual and national call to all Nigerians. But individually being a solution ignites the fire of solution in those around you and in no distance time, the seed of solution in every citizen will begin to bear fruit” —POJOMATICS

       This statement is also a prevalent statement in the society. Looking at it from a perspective it sounds true but if we hope to achieve a great feat as a country, there is need to look at the issue from another worldview. Only one man cannot change this nation but one can has to lead the way towards the change; and if he does, others will certainly join the train of change. I will quickly take two examples.

SAINT TERESA

Saint Teresa saw the high poverty rate in India and she had the passion to change the condition. Was she able to change the condition alone? No, but she led the path towards change and a host of others joined her and even in her death, the vision is still going to greater height. 

PASTORS ORHOBOR

Pastors Vera and Christopher Orhobor saw the problem in the educational system and they decided to change things and this led them to start their yearly Teacher’s Summit. Are they fixing the problem alone? No, but they took the first step and now, lots of teachers are becoming part of the change. 

MYTH : I CANNOT CHANGE THIS COUNTRY AND BESIDES, AM NOT IN ANY SEAT OF POWER.

TRUTH: I CANNOT CHANGE THIS COUNTRY BUT I CAN CONTRIBUTE MY PART SO WELL THAT IT IGNITES OTHERS TO DO THEIR PART; AND I DON’T NEED TO BE IN THE SEAT OF POWER TO DO MY PART.

In conclusion,BUILDING A BETTER NATION WITH THE SPOTLIGHT ON YOU is a call to the Youths of this great nation to rise up and pick up the MANTLE OF RESPONSIBILITY and effect the changes we want to see. God expects your light to shine despite the darkness around (Matt. 5:14-15, Isaiah 60:1-2). It’s time to make this country a better place that we all could be proud of.

“The Solution in you pops out only when the spotlight of responsibility is on you”—POJOMATICS

POEM BY PRECIOUS IDUDU

Even in the midst of the terrors and errors

We refuse to feel inferior

Though we live in corruption

We still stand in erection

Pledging to our great Nation

Hoping that after all the pains

There will be gain
