The number of ownership centers in Nigeria in particular and all over the world in general, gives one much to worry about; when it comes to the low degree of spirituality and the high consequences of value and moral degeneration. This is promoting insecurity, a low degree of wellness and a very poor human development index.
Most people who claim to be religious have drifted towards anti-scriptural tendencies.
In reference to the Holy Bible 1 Corithians 3 : 16-17, every human is portrayed as an empty shell bereft of divine grace.
Don't mind their outward appearance, which most of the time turns out to be mere games of deceit and hypocrisy.
''16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, he shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.''
In the same view, the content of the Holy Quran 17 : 21 is another litmus test that validates the above assertion.
''See how We have bestowed more on some than others(social rank), but verily the hereafter(spiritual ranking requirement) is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.''
It is high time we realize as living beings the message of the Holy Quran 49 : 13 that states, ''Verily the most honored of he is who is the most righteous(spiritually upright person.
To regain our honor, therefore, let our attendance of worship centers routinely or otherwise meet up with the personality traits test of the counseling psychologist by following the Smart concept in all our edalings to be able to cope with the spiritual and social demands for a prosperous, safe and secured orderly world which shall be deviod of corruption and other devinat behavior.
It is imperative for adherents to seek the counsel of those who uphold their of those who uphold thier faith transparently. This is exemplified in the Holy Bible 2 Timothy 3 : 16-17, ''16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.''
Similarly, it is entrenched in the Holy Quran 33 : 35 : for every human through whatever he believes in, society demands a person's participation through ;
1) Just worship and request acceptance in an environment of love.
2) Your state of scripture compliance.
3)in Allah without adulteration.
4) Commitment and devotion to the work of God.
5)Be the vanguard of truth against all odds.
6)Have the streak of patience in tolerance.
7)Develop humility for peace.
8)Imbibe the spirit of charity for philanthropy.
9)Be selfless for others to live well.
10)Chastity is crucial to fidelity.
A shortfall of any of the above mentioned will lead to the missing goal of divine forgiveness and prayer acceptance for perfect God/man relation.
To be counted worthy, exemplary, reliable and dependable in society, religious people must be scripture-compliant. This can be better found, maintained and sustained through routine checks based on personality traits tests as an evaluative tool for worship centers.

The focus of Those-in-Authority presently, is to ensure that the outcome of the Ekiti, Osun and 2023 General elections meete their expectations and not the expectations of Nigerians.
Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt
The prospect of not having free, fair and credible elections to achieve their electoral expectations endangers democracy.
The past seven years at the center have been one big gret falsehood.
Words have been in one direction while the action is at the opposite at the center and states.
-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
The electoral process today is now ostentatious and indecent. Shall the coming elections be determined by voting? Nobody knows.
It is already obious that in the coming elections there shall be official attempts to rig.But shall it succeed? May be not.
-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) ought to be made to realize that it shall be doing a disservice to the nation if the commission allows the ruling party to rig the coming elections.
The qulaity of life, standard of living and depth of comfort of Nigerians are reflections of the disturbing andf worrisome quality of goverancne at all levels of government.
Sychophants within the corridors of pwoer have made it impossible for leaders to proffer solutions to the multiferous problems confronting Nigerians. The leaders are fully aware of these problems
Rahter than addressing these problems, the leaders have continued to promote personal and selfish interests at the expense of the people, who have continued to agitate for fairness, justice and equity.

The Leadership Challenge and Decadence by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

There is a neeed for an aggresive cleansing damage contorl to avoid possible human degenration.
The Holy Bible in Amos 4:1-2 hignlights the affection of God towards the oppressors and ego centered personalities. The words of God is just like rain that does not discriminate.
"Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountains of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.
4, Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal, multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:''
There is a great challenge in achieving credible leadership. In addition the lack of care for surborinates and the people leaders ought to effectively serve, most especiall7y when the wealth of the society or nation is already entrusted in to their hands.
Vehemently, therefore, God the Almighty warns against such an attitude and state of ingratitude.
The Holy Quran 3: 75 refers to, "Among the people of the book (religious people and custodians of the law) are some who, if entrusted with a horde of gold, will readily pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin will not repay it unless thou constantly stoddest demanding because, they tell a lie against Allah and well they know it.''
The best is expected from accredited religious leaders, but unfortunately, we are yet to have true religious leaders who fear God by following due process in doing things, but most of us plunge ourselves into avarice.
If the system is not to collapse due to human definace to the dictates of God, we must all show concern about the plight of the people by acting according to our various religious faiths to put in place credibility for the system to run correctly.
The concept of philanthropy will not only unbruden the yoke of the oppressed but help us realize credible
leadership and good governance.
This is the emphasis of God in the Holy Quran (9:34) on the leaders we must neither be nor emulate. "O ye who believe, there are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in falsehood devour the wealth of many and hinder them in the way of Allah." And there are those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah; announce to them a most grievous cahstisement. "
For a nation to be truly independent, leaders must not be corrupt for them to be able to offer effective damage control.

The Scramble for Power

Who are those that shall account for the unspecified number of innocent human lives that have been lost to violent crimes in this dispensation? This question continues to linger.
Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt
In civilized societies, leaders seek power out of genuine nationalistic interest not only to transform the social and economic lives of the people but also to advance citizens' rights, the rule of law, and the course of democracy.
However, in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, certain politicians continue to scramble for power in order to further promote sectional, selfish and personal interests.
-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
The above-mentioned have been the focus in the center and the states.
Months to the 2023 General elections, known heads of cults and other outlawed groups, who are proteges of prominent political office holders and politicians have continued to move around freely engaging in their Stock-in-Trade.
-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
They also threaten, intimidate and cow opponents during campaigns and participate in rigging elections.
They have become a law onto themselves while their paymasters look the other way and law enforcement agents watch helplessly for pecuniary reasons. Perhaps.
-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach
Interestingly, no visible attempts have been made so far, to sponsor bills in the House of Assembly of a number of states, to outlaw the cult and cult-related activities.
Sadly, initiatives and efforts geared towards curbing the menace of cultists and other criminals have over time been cosmetic for obvious reasons.
-Government Workers-A Subject of Debate
Of worry is that the basic structures of the cult and other related groups are still intact, while the security machinery in the affected states has regrettably become lukewarm.
It is really disturbing that top government officials have continued to be hypocritical in addressing the problem, just as diabolism and evil have taken over space.

The Complicity of Those-in-Charge

In the last three years, various meetings held between Those-in-Authority and individuals who insist that they have been shortchanged in the political and electoral process in a number of states.
Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt
These meetings have only successfully exposed the self-centered and selfish mindset of Those-in-Authority.
The decision not to honor the agreements and abide by decisions taken jointly has dimmed the prospects of an unspecified number of political office holders to cling on to power in 2023 and beyond.
Indeed, the realization that their choices for political offices are not fit and proper persons to be entrusted with such offices took a long time to manifest.
-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
The illiterate population in several communities is a significant part of the problem.
Seasoned politicians opine that Those-in-Authority presently had from the onset prepared a different agenda which has resulted in the bad shape of governance in the affected states.
It is a known fact that the POLICE are constitutionally authorized to effect the arrest, to apprehend persons who have committed offenses or who are alleged to have committed offenses.
-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
In the same vein, it is the duty of the state to, afterward prosecute all these persons who were arrested.
What is the situation? Non-state actors who have continuously terrorized citizens are left as though they have committed no offenses and to this extent, Nigerians believe that this does not go down well for democracy.
The selective enforcement of the law is the order of the day, while certain non-state actors still operate as though they are above the law, which suggests that they are acting on orders from above to create all kinds of havoc in these states.
-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach
Lawlessness, crime, all forms of criminality, and evil continue unabated right before the eyes of Those-in-Authority with no sign that any action shall be taken to curtail this ugly trend.
This attitude of Those-in-Authority is not only contrary to the spirit and laid down rules of the constitution, but it is also diabolical and evil.

The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) has long before the present challenges, established its Information Technology Department(ICT) for the efficient and uncompromising deployment of Information Technology tools in the electoral process.
Read-Helplessness in the Face of Dirt
In addition, the computerization of the voters' register has been accomplished, while the transmission of election results by VSAT, and HF Radio and posted results on the Commission's website as the vote counts to be recorded on the field, has equally been achieved.
However, the compostion of this constitutionally important organization ought to include socially mature and distinguished indivudauls who have trakc records of meritorious service in the public or private sector.
But, sadly, this may not be the case presently.

Furthermore, employees of the INEC are supposed to be of sound mind and ought to possess the mental balance to function effectively in the organization.
Of worry is that thier conduct in the 2019 General elections proved the contrary.
Interestingly, the talking point among Nigerians is the alleged secret pact between the leadership of the electoral body and Those-in Charge on the expected outcome of all elections-in-view.
-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach
The agreement revolves around the prohibitive cost implication of these elections and the need to avoid frictions in the process of playing out the script.
Indeed, the manpower base of the INEC at the center and 36 states must be overhauled and re-invigorated for Nigerians to have confidence that the 2023 General elections shall overcome the tests of integrity, credibility and transparency.
