Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola was quoted to have warned “that while the yells of ‘Ominira’ saturated the atmosphere of the nation in its yearnings for political independence, what he was hearing was the direct opposite. Instead of Ominira (Freedom), Apostle Babalola said that he was hearing Om-Inira, a twist of the pronunciation of the word that rendered its first two letters dormant to shorten it to Inira (Hardship).

But the Church traded that warning away on the altar of indifference. Today, the masses of the country, especially its southern populace which the Nigerian union has grossly shortchanged can tell whether it is freedom or hardship that political independence has spelt for them since 1960!”The taproot of Nigeria's woes as a country is located at the various altars of the Church, which has embraced diversion from the course that God and the Bible have charted for her.

However, despite the sour story and negative profiles, the author rolls out recipes for glittering hopes against all hopelessness of a country and its great people which he sees as a precious clay in the hand of its omnipotent and unstoppable Potter. The nation will survive its intricate challenges because God has never failed either in His plans or in their execution, regardless of what Satan and his collaborators may be up to.
