My reply to the Nigeria Ministry of Food and Agriculture
This is just one of the things I had in mind when I shared my reply to a post a few hours ago.
So, here we have Madam Human Resources of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture inviting people to a solemn prayer to pray for divine intervention to achieve food security in Nigeria.
Jesus wept!
This is in the year 2025😳😭
And this is not supposed to be some joke!
Whichever way we dice it, this is ridiculous, to say the least.
Help me riddle this. We have people who went through universities, acquired all kinds of degrees, wrote applications for jobs, passed interviews and whatnot, and were selected and given jobs for which they receive salaries, emoluments, big cars, and other allowances. Let’s forget that they are as corrupt as hell.
So, these people who were paid to do a job will spend official time gathering in prayers to phantoms of the sky so that Nigerians can get sufficient and live forever happily!
It’s beyond belief that these people dare to peddle this kind of scam expecting no serious pushbacks from aggrieved citizens.
Rather than continue receiving salaries for jobs they appear incapable of doing, why don’t these people resign from their posts so that we can put professional pastors in their place?
What do these people discuss with their counterparts in countries like the Netherlands, where people produce enough food for domestic and also for export without the intervention of the gods??

My blog readers will remember that I published an article on this subject just a few days ago. I titled it: We did not vote for god. The link: Read the full article here: https://femiakogun.substack.com/p/we-did-not-vote-for-god
For those who missed it, this was the reply I mentioned above.

Who are we to condemn the younger ones when we live debauched, unprincipled, unethical, immoral lifestyles?
Are we not in charge of the agencies protecting our traditions and culture? Did we live up to the billing like our Chinese counterparts?
Which part of the ethos we learned from our parents did we impart to our children?
When our parents were in charge, we enjoyed good schools, hospitals, steady electricity, and free potable water. Did we build on this and transfer it to our children?
Preaching is cheap after we steal their future through our insatiable greed and gluttony.
Our sanctimonious hypocrisy will kill us😭
