Our Problem is not from God – Shehu Sani
Former Kaduna lawmaker and social critic, Senator Shehu Sani, emphasized on Monday that Nigeria’s current economic challenges are not a result of divine intervention. He highlighted Nigeria’s abundance of natural resources, which surpass those of many other nations.
Sani’s statement coincides with reports of a significant crowd gathering at the Zonal Office of the Nigerian Customs Service in Yaba, Lagos, to purchase discounted 25kg bags of rice, resulting in a stampede and loss of lives.
He clarified that Nigeria’s issues are not a consequence of divine will, pointing out the country’s vast resources, including over 200 rivers and well-nourished arable land spanning 923,768 square kilometers. Moreover, he noted that Nigeria boasts a population with more vigorous men and fertile women than any other African nation.
He wrote, “There are over 200 rivers in this country and we have a well nourished arable land of 923,768 kmsq. We have the natural resources that other countries will never have. We have virile men and fertile women more than any other country in our continent.
“We have no earthquakes, hurricanes or monsoon. What can grow in Thailand, Pakistan or Brazil can grow in this country. We want manna. Even the people who received the last plates of manna from Heaven have now turned their Desert Green. Our problem is not from God.”
