    nigeria is a good country that is bless with a lot of wise and creative people but our prayer have not reach the heaven because we all believe in impossible. May God send us useful leaders that will uplift our country but it may not be in this our generation because all our leader today must remove their hands from governing. So how many of them can do so? I don’t know how you would face God in hereafter.
