Imagine if in your town, ...the roads washed out, the schools closed, and the water was shut off.
The power only came on for an hour or two every day or two. As a result, you lose your job or go out of business.
Food prices rose 25% per year.
Gas stations frequently ran out of gas. When they opened, an hour's wait on queue was common.
The police refused to respond when you called when someone was breaking in to your home. Most of them did not know how to drive, and they had no ammunition for their AK-47s.
The hospital closed. The best medical care was a facility like what we called in America, a "Doc-in-the-Box".
Road officials sometimes pulled you over and tried to extort a bribe or even arrest you for no reason.
As many as 50% of high school students were infected with HIV.
Imagine, and then pray for Nigeria, where this is reality.
For us, these things are a hardship. But if things get too bad, we have someplace to go. Nigerians don't. They have to try to live under these conditions and create a hopeful future for their children.
Pray for Nigeria!!
