How Money Put Our Nation in Danger

Money is an entity used officially as a medium of exchange; pay people for their work, and pay for goods and services. Nowadays, a lot of atrocities have been committed in the respect of searching for money; afterward, it moves our society to the great height of decadency.

Recently, in our nation, peace has been lost; loves have been declined; morals have been buried; fears have died, because of money. Many people think of today only and forget the hereafter, this tempted them into bad routes of getting money. In the sense that money is eligible to convey fame, wealth, and pride, a bunch of youths and adults ventures into various horrible ways of earning it.

Their wrong motive is to get the money anyway even if it’s the wrong way; forget the consequences of their actions. Though there are many legal ways of earning income, the evildoers find their way in blood money, killing, kidnapping, and becoming rich in a day time forgetting they will later die.

It’s saddening that those we see as the leader of tomorrow (youths, youngsters, and teenagers) were also engaged in ghastliness and atrocious means of finding wealth. According to a say “when the elders died, we lose wisdom; when the children died, we lose hope”, the question now is what is the hope of Nigeria?

Although no one wants poverty, there’s is no greatness in killing for wealth that doesn’t determine heaven. Not all people involved in the ritual, corruption, cyber fraud, kidnapping, and other forms of crime were able to accomplish their intent, some even run mad in the course of getting blood money.

In Nigeria, records of people who died of accidents over the year can be provided, but no one can provide the aggregate of those who lost their lives to the hand of ritualists. It’s sympathetic that the cause of taking peoples’ lives is money that cannot buy a life; the partakers are trying to make a record their father could not make by breaking the record wrongly.

You deriving cheers from shedding others tears, be cautious! because there’s is a reward for every action either good or bad. Don’t you have a bit of God-fearing? Don’t you know it’s dangerous? Don’t you know money is not everything? Don’t you know you will later give up a ghost? Don’t you know you will be alone in the grave? Have you forgotten judgment day? Don’t you know hellfire is real? In case you don’t know, there’s is life after death for judgment of our deed.

The love for money made everyone to be callous, heartless, nasty, and brutal by which parents used their children; children used their parents; boyfriends used their girlfriends, and friends used friends for ritual. What a travesty! the life becomes immoral, sinful, unethical, outrageous, and heinous. No trust in the land anymore, everyone becomes suspicious of their each other and there are no cordial relationships between families and friends anymore.

Peer pressure is a factor propelling many individuals to find money by all means. The aim of the kidnappers, bandits, robbers, pirates, traffickers, thieves and those involved in corruption are are to make money nonchalant of other peoples’ feelings. Likewise, cyber fraudsters are doing it because of money to satisfy themselves and cause harm to other peoples, their actions tarnished our country’s image but they don’t care.

Too much love for money drag us away from the old heritage that offered a better way of life; cause us to lose our culture, value, integrity, moral, dignity religion, even our future. We lost the righteous way of our ancestors to the devil’s hand for money’s sake. If things continue in this manner, everyone will taste it even the government, and no one will sleep with closed eyes.

For how long do you want to be killing yourself by killing others for money? where did you learn that ritual assure of being rich? the bitter fact is that, if you are destiny to be poor, no ritual soap can make you rich. Are you aware that no ritualist died old? they always Die Before Time (DBT), if you wish your soul should desert your body at a young age, keep up the bad work.
