Nigerians Must Expose and Reject Corrupt Leaders to Drive National Progress

 Nigerians Must Expose and Reject Corrupt Leaders to Drive National Progress

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has issued a powerful call to action, urging Nigerians to openly denounce and hold bad leaders accountable. He emphasized that the nation’s progress hinges on a collective rejection of unethical leadership, asserting that when citizens demand integrity, political elites will be forced to govern responsibly.



A Culture That Rewards Corruption

Jonathan lamented the disturbing trend of Nigerians celebrating individuals of questionable character, noting that this misplaced admiration fuels a culture of impunity. He pointed out the irony of communities conferring chieftaincy titles on those who amass wealth through dubious means, reinforcing corruption rather than discouraging it.

This observation aligns with Jonathan’s previous remarks, where he expressed shame over Nigeria’s global reputation as a negative example due to persistent governance failures.

Voter Responsibility and the Power of the Electorate

Jonathan’s stance is echoed by Senator Nicholas Tofowomo, representing Ondo South Senatorial District, who stressed the electorate's role in ensuring competent leadership. He pointed out that electing incompetent leaders has exacerbated Nigeria’s challenges, urging citizens to vote based on merit rather than inducements like cash handouts 



The Path to National Transformation

Jonathan’s message goes beyond criticism—it serves as a roadmap for reform. He asserts that when Nigerians collectively refuse to endorse or glorify corrupt politicians, it forces a paradigm shift that fosters accountability. He has consistently urged citizens to condemn those who acquire wealth through illicit means, warning that celebrating corruption only weakens national institutions 

Breaking the Cycle of Corruption

Jonathan’s call is a reminder that citizens hold immense power in shaping governance. By exposing and rejecting bad leaders, Nigerians can dismantle the systems that enable corruption and lay the foundation for transparency and ethical governance.

This collective resolve is essential in steering Nigeria towards a future where leadership is synonymous with service, integrity, and national development. The time for passive acceptance is over—only through unified action can the nation achieve real, lasting progress.

The Moon and the Message by Adeboye: A Divine Council Meets in the Sky

  "The Moon and the Message by Adeboye: A Divine Council Meets in the Sky" It was a statement that made the air buzz, a whisper on the wind that quickly became a roar. "God told me the RCCG council meeting will soon be holding on the moon," declared Pastor Enoch Adeboye, with a calmness that left the audience in awe and disbelief. Now, before your mind races ahead, imagining pews on lunar dust and holy hands raised in zero gravity, let me slow you down. Adeboye wasn’t just tossing out words like confetti at a carnival. This wasn’t your typical sermon or Sunday service prophecy. No, this was a celestial promise—a divine whisper that danced down to Earth with the weight of the universe behind it. RCCG, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, with its thousands of dedicated followers, has always been at the forefront of spiritual movements, but the notion of a council meeting on the moon? That felt like something straight out of science fiction. But Adeboye, with his ...
