SOLUDO, ALSO PRAY!

 SOLUDO, ALSO PRAY!

By Izuchukwu Adichie

Indeed, men of prayer are not perfect, but they are constantly seeking to grow in their relationship with God and live according to His will. I have heard several argument from some people that most of our leaders, maybe, because of their busy schedule finds it difficult to actively seek the face of God and listen to His voice, align their will with God’s will, and invite His divine guidance and wisdom to lead, to tap into His limitless power and become instruments of His will.

Soludo has a different story, as an unusual leader he possesses a trait of prayer. I used to think the trait was developed or cultivated over time until I came close to him and learned about his prayerful lifestyle. Apart from his unfulfilled seminary journey, he is not just an erudite Professor of Economics, he is also a Prophet. As a Governor, every morning, on rotational services from Monday to Sunday, he leads prayers for different faiths at the Lodge; Pentecostal, Anglican, and Catholic.


We know great men for their devotion to prayer and humility. Soludo recognizes his dependence on God and is never concerned with his own needs, but intercedes for the State he is governing and aligns petitions with the will of God. He understands that prayer is not just a religious ritual, but it is a powerful tool that can change a course. He knows almost all the verses in the Bible, almost all the Hymns, and Praise Songs. His ‘Finger Rosary’ which never leaves his pocket is his biggest tool.


Soludo recognizes the importance of setting aside time to pray, that is why his biggest prayer point all the time is, “May Anambra Succeed, Amen!”

 Lilian Orogbu: "A beauty pageant or a federal lawmaker?" By Izuchukwu Adichie Apart from the fact that Lilian Orogbo diverted N200 million federal government palliatives meant for the people of Awka North and South constituency, she has a trait of a "beauty pageant and ineffective lawmaking". So when the announcement was made that she won the election for a federal house, and I saw her photos, I asked myself if it wasn’t such a calamity for a beauty pageant to transition into politics and even to represent Awka. Such a calamity!! Compared with other female federal lawmakers from Anambra both in the past and present, Orogbo, the beauty - pageant lawmaker in her eight months has not been able to meet the legislative expectations of her constituent, has not attracted a single project or intervention, and has clearly shown she talk without some level of thought or cognition. However, how can a lawmaker who should partner with her state Governor in promoting law and ord
