At the second annual ‘Imo Prays’ held in Owerri recently, Hope Uzodinma, governor of Imo State is quoted in the press to urge the people to pray so God will ‘‘arrest and expose all those involved in the dastardly act no matter who they are and where they are.’’ In view of the high level of criminality in his jurisdiction, the sense of helplessness and frustration may, understandably, have motivated this governor to take his case to Higher Powers.
Uzodinma, therefore, called on the church not to relent in their prayers because the “enemies are not relenting either.” He emphasised that “prayer is the only potent weapon to overcome the enemies, the problems and challenges facing us as a people and the state in general,” adding that “the relative peace Imo State is experiencing currently is brought about by God’s intervention.”
Notwithstanding the widely accepted omniscience, omnipresence and the omnipotence of God, it is reasonable to argue that he also grants authority and power to man to do what he individually ought for the common peace, stability and happiness. President Muhammadu Buhari once resigned the case of Nigeria’s porous borders to God. He was reported to say that ‘‘we have 1,400 kilometers of border with Niger Republic, which can only be effectively supervised by God.’’ This should not be so. Arguably, Nigeria’s land border is not the widest in the world; other countries are not so overwhelmed as to leave surveillance of their territory merely to God and Nigeria should not be an exception.
