"NIGERIA'S LEADERS HIDE THEIR DIRTY DEEDS UNDER QUESTIONABLE IMMUNITY"

The 160 million Nigerian citizens and residents that live in Nigeria today are all directly under the authority or the control of the two major types of leaderships that exist in that country. The first authority is the secular or governmental and the second type of authority is from the  religious leaders of the religions that most Nigerians belong to and practice as a tradition or a way of life.

The various actions and the decisions of these two different types of leaderships affect almost every area of the life of a typical or an ordinary Nigerian today. Tens of millions of the ordinary Nigerian citizens are suffering today primarily because of the official culture of corruption, the huge mismanagement of the Nigeria's state resources,  the reign of lawlessness as well as the rule of brutalities that the successive and the current Nigeria's leaders have adopted since 1960 to date as their own standard ways they govern or run Nigeria.

In the world of religions, these men of God that are also known as pastors, bishops, presidents or the general overseers of the various Church denominations have put their followers or disciples under permanent bondage to religious bigotry, fanatism, intolerance and bigotry. The words and the directives of these Church leaders weigh more to their followers than the teachings of the Bible or the words of Jesus Christ. In the religion of Islam, their Imans or the Koranic teachers control the entire life of their followers with their own religious orders or fatwas which are final and supreme in the life of a typical Muslim.

A true or a good leadership over fellow human beings whether in the secular or in the religious worlds call for public accountability, transparency, honesty, sincerity, truthfulness and service delivery from these leaders to their followers. But in Nigeria, this is not the standard norm or practice because the leadership of these two different worlds are lords to themselves and they are never answerable nor accountable to their followers.

In order to prevent any accountability, public scrutiny, opposition, rebellion and public outcry from taking place, these leaders have hidden their dirty and questionable deeds under the cover of immunity. The secular leaders have the constitutional immunity that protects them from any prosecution for any atrocities they commit or committed in the government. The Church leaders use the 1 Chronicles 16:22 which reads "Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm" wrongly as their own biblical or spiritual immunity from prosecutions. The Koranic teachers and Imans also hide themselves from any prosecutions through a similar path and pattern in the Koran.
