Obama in Ghana: A Sermon-Saharan

The world, especially in Africa, welcomes the new information on the triumphal entry of Barack Obama Ghana this week, Obama-mania has broken out across the country. While some African countries are now licking their wounds, so many excuses to explain why man more powerful and popular in the world have chosen Ghana before them, most are just enjoying the proudest moment in the history of Africa.

As a Nigerian, I welcome Obama's election in Ghana for his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa, a nation that has maintained a clean image in a continent stained as electoral fraud and political conflicts. I applaud and agree with Professor Wole Soyinka bold statement: "If you Obama decide to grace his presence in Nigeria, I rock. The message you send to go to Ghana is so obvious, is so bright that it suffers no not come to Nigeria in the short term. "Why why Obama decided to associate with a nation so wrapped up in corruption and thirst for control at all costs, a nation in the hands of power hungry tyrants parade themselves as politicians, a nation boasted of being the most religious, and yet the most reckless?

I think the sadness in the state of our religious "nation. Instead of defending against the manifest abuses of responsibility of governments, many religious leaders in Nigeria openly cavorting with champions in the interest of political advertising cheap Political influence and participation in the taxpayers' money. As such, they are publicly condoning greed and power mongering by his attitude, abandoning the role of torch-bearers of the society. As he writes Ebenezer Obadare dubious of such relationship, "… in a dynamic it works very well for the state and serves the purposes of holding political power, religious leaders to attend their (the holders) anniversary ceremonies, bless their families, and the end of each year, things prophecy invariably positive for countries that govern the way so spectacularly wrong. "

I remember how the Pastor Enoch Adeboye CGKN of the recently chosen as "Nigeria's Greatest Living Legend, befriends regularly with Obasanjo, now generally regarded as one of the leaders the most corrupt and dishonest Africa. As Adeboye hosted at its headquarters redeemed received support from evangelical crusades, posed with him on the pictures to newspapers in exchange for import taxes CGKN Obasanjo and gave them more privileges politicians. However, as part of its proximity, it was reported that more Adeboye publicly denounced corrupt practices and articles of unethical activities.

In the same vein, Daniel Gbenga Adeboye commended the Ogun mandate, is associated with their campaigns and often visited the state of the invitation for prayer sessions. However, the crisis surrounding the state of Ogun, involving the integrity of other departments and its rivals policies in the state of the bridge and then repeating the catastrophic level of two-spirit and vulgarity that has gripped of our country, it is questionable whether such a level of confidentiality will be maintained between the two. Success is the child in the world while failure has no father.

Bravo to Martin Luther King said: "We shall have to repent of this generation not only for words and hateful actions of bad people but the appalling silence of good people. "It is clear that our religious leaders have a role to play in the mismanagement of resources and talents that Nigeria has become known for – not primarily for what they did, but for the truth, however unpalatable, that failed and to stand committed for the sake of personal gain and political appeasement. Many ignore the words of Jesus: "What is very valued among men is an abomination to God. "(Luke 16:15)

However, when the President of Ghana, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, took office this January an election peaceful international reputation, your first port of call after his inauguration was Synagogue Church Of all Nations in Lagos, Nigeria to give thanks to God for their historic victory and unexpected. Here, it shocked the continent with his statement Pastor TB Joshua that had accurately predicted the details of his victory in elections three parties, including the Rev. Joshua calling his "mentor" indicating that his humility and his generosity had inspired a lot of impact. Joshua, meanwhile, asked Mills to help the poorest Ghana, and support charities "spend more on others and less on themselves." The difference is obvious.

It seems strange that the churches of Nigeria, are busy discussing among themselves about the authenticity of Pastor TB Joshua, the great man Atta Mills has publicly praised and honored. I think the results of these relationships are more eloquent than any pontificating about the qualifications of a true man of God.

Anyway, thank you God that Ghana is moving from strength to strength, Obama's current visit has consolidated its reputation of commitment Democratic, and the discovery of oil on their territory, pointing to a bright future ahead. Africa should be proud of achievements Ghana and learn the necessary lessons from Obama's visit instead of wondering why not choose another nation. As Bono recently said: "In the silence, modesty – but heroically – Ghana's business going on the rebranding of a continent. new face of America, the new known Face of Africa. "

I pray that this visit will be the beginning of a new wave of loyalty to the principles of democracy, and the eternal values of Africa to be his brother's keeper, made for others as you would have them do unto you, and taking into account the good of their nation more important than their personal ambitions.
