Shall we ever learn?
Indigence is not our potion
Endlessly proffering lame excuses
Resource-rich by nature's quirk
Rebuffing genuine international reports
Affluence for the fortuitous few
Land of iron and diamonds
Every step questionable
Oil-find a looming embezzling prospect
Never heeding constructive criticism
By Ezekiel Nabieu
Isaac Watt’s words in the Christmas carol “Joy to the world” ushers us into the spirit of Christmas. It is all about joy for the lamb of God who became incarnate to take away the sins of the world. It should be noted that Jesus became MAN not only for Christians (at the time there were no Christians but Jews and Gentiles) but for the sins of the whole world including Muslims).
The Christian religion carries certain facts at its heart, and the greatest of them is this: “The word became flesh, and dwelt among us”.
