π¨ NIGERIANS, PLEASE WAKE UP! ππ³π¬
– Look at the catastrophic flash floods in Nepal, the widespread flooding in Thailand affecting millions of people, and the recent flooding in Port Harcourt.
– Across the world, homes are submerged, roads disappear underwater, families flee for their lives, and communities are destroyed. In Vietnam, recent rainfall exceeded 800 mm in just three days, leaving streets underwater and triggering landslide warnings. Globally, people are dying in their thousands from climate related events.
– Now imagine a poor Nigerian mother with a newborn in a flooded house, her pit toilet overflowing into contaminated floodwater. Where does she take her baby? How does she protect that child?
– Those without children are desperately trying to bring babies into a world facing increasingly dangerous environmental disasters. Have we seriously considered the world these children will inherit?
– I mentioned prayer in my previous post because I fear it may already be too late to prevent some of the damage humanity will face. Should we knowingly bring children into this growing crisis without thinking deeply about their future?
– My people, I am saying this because you are my people. Please stop being disconnected from global affairs. Wake up and pay attention. The world is changing, and we cannot continue living as though nothing is happening.
ππΎ May God have mercy on humanity.
