Home Ownership : A Factor to Determine the Voting Pattern

Millions of Nigerians have remained without suitable and comfortable homes due to the incompetence of Those-in-Charge to provide affordable houses for the impoverished populace. Indeed, political office holders have over the years facilitated the activities of criminally minded Esate Agents and land grabbers in many states, while the Judiciary may have for long been acting out the scripts of their paymasters. How can a Chief Executive appeal to Nigerians to live in peace with criminals in several communities? A number of state governments have now turned the real estate sector to a revenue generation point, while citizens have continued to tell those who care to lsiten unending tales of woe. Interestignly, an unspecified number of cases and incidences of fraudulent practices by illegal practitioners in the real estate sector have overwhelemed police stations and court rooms across the land. Sadly, a few state governments have successfully made the real sector unattractive to investors, as most of the accomodation available are anything but decent and affordable. The reversal of this horrible status quo may influence the voting patern. Perhaps. Even though owning a house ought to be a right, an enabling environment for this purpose still remains a mirage. Note- The recruitment of unqualified persons and institutional compromise are among other reasons why insecurity and violent crimes persist.

Ceaseless Prayers

 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...
