WHEN CHILDREN ARE LEADERS
In many African countries today, children are presidents and prime ministers. Such countries are characterized with poverty and poor economy. You may then wonder are they really children when the oldest African president, Beji Caid Essebsi, the president of Tunisia will be ninety-three on November twenty nine and the youngest president in Africa: Joseph Kabila of democratic republic of Congo will be forty-eight on June four. Being a child is not a function of age, you are a child if you don’t have the maturity and experience that goes with adulthood.
Many African presidents are children because they do not have understanding of the problem of the country they are presiding neither could they solve problems because they do not have solutions to it. To worsen it all they are deeply rooted in corruption and want to amass wealth for their families at the expense of the nation they are presiding on.
Having a child as a president is an evidence that the nation is under a curse. Ecclesiastes 10:16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning! and also in Isaiah 3:4-5a "I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them. The people will be oppressed, Every one by another and every one by his neighbor. African nations is a land of oppression, black oppressing blacks, a family seating on wealth of a nation, cabals oppressing the nation. Nigeria is not an exception, reputed to be the giant of Africa but children are still our leaders. Let us pray to God to heal our land and as we elect leaders let us choose men who have solutions to the problem of this nation and not boys who have no understanding about what true leadership and governance is. God bless Africa! God bless Nigeria!
