Yet, the All Progressives Congress (APC)–led government, in self-delusion, is satisfied with its performance in all sectors of the Nigerian politico-economy. That the Federal Government believes this stipend is life-sustaining for the citizen is ludicrous and shows disconnect from the reality. Thus, Nigerians are in distress, not at ease and, it is against this background, that the Catholic Church in Nigeria prays continually one, ‘For Nigeria in Distress’ and two, ‘Against Bribery and Corruption’. On the first, the church recognises that God is merciful and He is a God of justice, love and peace. Nigeria, a multi-national state adopted federalism at independence as a system of government and enshrined it in the 1960/63 Constitution.
