Exegesis of Matthew 5; 35-37 in Line With Oath Taking in Nigeria

What a tragedy for our nation? No wonder we are not making progress as a nation, (Nigeria) despite all the fasting and prayers by the various religious groups, together with the abundant human and material resources available in the country. It has dawned on political aspirants that selection of public office holders had overtaken the constitutional provisions for genuine election, as election in Nigeria is now more of rituals than real voting. Some of our political office aspirants with scant honour and integrity have no option but to accept whatever their godfathers want them to do in order for them to achieve their political desires, and this includes fetish oath taking and issuance of postdated cheques, just to mention a few. Nigeria as a nation has been lacking honest, visionary and dedicated leadership since independence, and more recently, since the current enthronement of democratic principles in 1999. Who will believe that in spite of the natural and human resources available in Nigeria, is still continues to be in the forefront of poverty-stricken nations of the world? Our present group of leaders act without the fear of God and as such their heart.
