Sent from my iPhone--My own new year prayer is: May God punish all past and present looters of Nigeria's treasury. I pray for God's vengeance on members of Nigeria's Judiciary, Executive and Legislature that have participated, and are still participating, in the loot of our national patrimony. I pray that those whose harmful designs of cannibalistic thefts have denied the masses of Nigeria quality healthcare, infrastructural development, functional education, clean and potable water, good roads, good housing, and electricity, will get their lives cut off in gruesome manner. I pray to God that when looters of Nigeria's patrimony eat, their stomach would swell and burst open; and when they drink they would be afflicted with dysentery and cholera; and when they travel abroad for medical treatment, may God afflict physicians attending to them with blindness. I pray to God to target mansions built in Nigeria and abroad by looters of Nigeria's treasury with thunder, lighten and earth quake. I pray to God this way because lesser criminals than Nigerian treasury looters such as Ananias and Sapphira, according to the Acts of Apostles, Chapter 5 : 1-10, were struck to death by thunder and lighten for hiding part of their sold land-property from church taxation.
S.Kadiri

Re: SV: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote
Oga Adesuna,
Ti Olorun ba ma sa mi ese ta lo le duro? If God is going to treat us according to our sin, how many of us will survive?
The republicans in the Bible were asked to repent so as to enjoy the forgiveness of God.
The above were/are the moral teachings in the Bible and I expect the born again to follow the injunctions.
If our society had remained steadfast in their traditional moral teachings as Dr. Adesina had wished Soponna to deal with those who have stolen from the national treasury, perhaps there would have been no such thieves at all because they would have know the immediate consequences.
I am neither a Christian nor a Muslim but a Humanist who takes pride in Yoruba culture and customs. A very rich culture and values I admire and respect.
So, I am not a saint because such institution is not in Yoruba culture.
Happy new year.
Professor,
Ease let us put Oga Kadiri's "prayers" in oerspective. If you consider the level at which our collective patrimony has been stolen by those who are supposedly leaders, then there is no point trying to be saintly with these people. They are thieves, simple. And outside of a revolution that will strike them off our national picture, the best we can do--the last resort of the powerless--is terrible epe; sending Soponna (the god of smallpox) on a terrible errand.
These people do not need prayers; they need the most calamitous things to befall them as an example for others. Haven't they impoverished us all without any regard at all?
