LIKE ISRAELITES, LIKE NIGERIANS: NEVER PATIENT OR SATISFIED WITH ANYTHING If there is any iota of resemblance between Nigerians and Israelites (of old), it is in the insatiable and violent disposition of both people even when they had the best of leaders. Prior to the coming of Moses, the Israelites had suffered a great deal under the tyrannical rule of the Pharaoh. They were treated as second class citizens and were used as slaves on the farms and maids in the house. They prayed to Allah to grant them succor and Allah gave them Moses. No sooner had Moses assumed leadership that they started to complain saying: "They said, "(O Moses)! We were tortured before your advent and even after you had come. He said (to them) soon Allah shall destroy your enemies and give you successive authority on the land to see how you will behave." Moses defeated the Pharaoh and took the Children of Israel out of Egypt towards the promised land. Unfortunately, immediately they crossed the red sea, they began to exhibit their heretical traits. First, they lost faith in Allah and decided to go back to disobedience. "And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and they came unto a people who were given up to idols which they had. They said: O Moses! Make for us a god even as they have gods. He said: Lo! ye are a folk who know not." (Q. 7:138) Eventually, they defied Moses' orders and went ahead to worship a gold calf, ignoring the advice of Moses' deputy, Haroon who was together with them to guide them. "Indeed, Musa came to you with clear signs but you took to the worship of the gold calf behind his back and you were wrongdoers." Then came the issue of diversification of source of food. Initially, the people ate from just a particular type of food and all of a sudden, they developed an insatiable appetite for many food, and told Moses that they wanted more. Then they told him to show them Allah or else they will disbelieve in his message completely. A quick comparison between the Nigeria and Israeli situations reveals the following : i. Both countries had great, focused and determined leaders in both Moses/Aron; Buhari/ Osinbajo; ii. Both leaders came after a destructive government (Pharaoh/Jonathan); iii. Tough decisions had to be taken (e.g. Moses was away for 40 nights/subsidy removal); iv. The people dared God & took to Idol worshipping; v. They grew impatient and in fact wished that Moses hadn't come/some Nigerians wishing that Jonathan had continued Open your Bible to the book of Numbers 14:1-3: Now read: "Then all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2. All the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness! 3. "Why is the LORD bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"… May Allah protect us from heresy and impatience. Let us pray for Muhammadu Buhari. Desperate times require desperate measures. May we all live to enjoy the fruit of our sacrifice. # mayBuharisucceed |
