Christian Group canvases for biblical theocracy as a panacea to Nigeria’s problem

By Akpos Oghenetega,

Worried by the recurring insecurity and other social vices wreaking havoc on Nigeria, a religious group, named  Christian Movement for Transformation of the Nigerian System of Government to Biblical Theocracy on Tuesday expressed the view that there should be a  change of the country’s name from the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Sovereign Theocratic State of Saints (STSS).

It also advocated the immediate abolition of the country’s 1999 Constitution and replacement with divine-based Law enforcement rules and directive principle of State Policy (Constitution).

The leader of the group, Ifeanyichukwu Kelvin Lawrence made the call at a world press conference addressed in Warri, Delta State during which he presented what he described as the roadmap to the transformation of the Nigerian system of government to Biblical Theocracy.

While giving hope for a new Nigeria in the nearest future, he urged the authorities to find enduring solutions to the lingering problems of terrorism, killer Fulani herdsmen, banditry, and the IPOB separatist struggle across the country noting that Nigeria will not know peace unless government handles the issues with utmost care.

In making case for the stemming of the astronomical increase in moral decadence in the society, the group advocated proscription of idolatrous religious-cultural practices in the country and called for the unification of existing church denominations into one entity under State control with the installation of a national high priest.

The group also urged the government to step up its war against corruption by “sweeping away the vermin of bribery, corruption and advance fee fraud, including money ritual activities from the country with an iron broom through government seizure of illegal wealth and death penalty passed on the offender through an open transparent court process.”

According to the group’s leader, the future holds better fortunes for the country “if the authorities handle the agitations from the various stakeholders with utmost care”.

The group’s leader told newsmen that divine revelations have already unveiled that the country would soon secure “blanket recovery of 1.2 trillion USA Dollars stolen wealth of the country by way of the supernatural outbreak of plague of incurable severe epilepsy and white leprosy attack against the person who has stolen or inherited part of the stolen wealth of the country, and against the person’s entire family members who enjoyed the stolen wealth with the person until they make a public confession of the crime and full restitution of the value of what they stole and add to it five percent of the value in a live televised Messiah Committee of Truth and Reconciliation (MCTR) Public hearing of the crime”.

Consequently, he said, “there will be the elimination of poverty in the country with an investment of 1.2trillion USA Dollars into the economy by way of Stock, etc for the development of three modern cities of six million residences on six hundred and twenty thousand hectares of forest land area in each region or province of the country with city planning, better fortunes environment, public services and over one hundred and twenty million new job chances for citizens of age 20 years above across the country”.
