I disguised as beggar to teach Christians kindness – Catholic priest
But, I quietly entered my car and drove to the adoration ground. Incidentally, it was a rainy day, so I was wet and shivering while begging the people entering the adoration ground. People from different denominations came to the adoration ground for prayers, but even my regular members ignored me and passed by. How were you able to now enter the adoration ground and get hold of the microphone since the congregation didn’t want you to gain access? You know charity covers a multitude of sins and Jesus Christ emphasised prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

Spiritual revolution for national transformation - Part 4 | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
(An overview of a letter shared with a friend on the Issue of Spiritual Revolution for National Development)Dear Mr. John Jones,My generation has no vision of the Nigeria state; we grew up during and after the Civil War. We were either Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, and so on; we were anything, but Nigerians, and not believing in the Nigeria state, we pursued individual and personal aggrandisements. There were periodic and episodic identifications with the Nigeria state, but being unfortunate to have lived as young adults under the several kleptocratic regimes headed by the military. We are the worst that the Nigeria state has thrown up, existential in outlook, bankrupt in morals. I thank God for your inspiration, and for such a time as this, a voice like yours is screaming in our national wilderness.
