WHY DID UBER LEAVE NIGERIA?
AND WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT US?

This is a question every Nigerian must ask.

Uber has announced that it will cease operations in Nigeria after 12 years. The company cited a review of its business, while rising operating costs and increasing competition have made the market more difficult. (Reuters)

But beyond Uber, we must ask ourselves a deeper question:

What kind of country are we building, and what kind of country are we making difficult for businesses to operate in?

Uber is not the only company that has suffered in Nigeria. I have often asked myself: Has corruption become so deeply embedded in our society that we may never recover?

I have done business in Nigeria. Honestly, I pulled out quietly, like Uber, without pointing fingers.

But we must not deceive ourselves. A country cannot prosper when dishonesty, fraud, crime, and the worship of wealth without a legitimate source become accepted as normal.

The Bible says:

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” — Proverbs 14:34 (KJV)

Righteousness exalts a nation. Sin brings disgrace upon a people.

This is not merely a political statement. It is a spiritual and moral principle.

Peter Obi alone will not save Nigeria. Atiku alone will not save Nigeria. No politician, no matter how well-intentioned, can transform a nation whose people refuse to change.

Nigerians must save Nigeria by rejecting the culture that is destroying Nigeria.

We must reject:

Dishonesty in business.
Corruption in public office.
Fraud and the celebration of “fast money.”
The worship of wealth without asking how it was acquired.
Hatred that makes us defend wrongdoing because it comes from our own side.

We need more than a change of government.

We need a cultural revolution.

A revolution in our values.
A revolution in our integrity.
A revolution in how we raise our children.
A revolution in how we do business.
A revolution in how we treat one another.

Because Nigeria will not become a better country merely because we change the people in power. Nigeria will become better when we change the values that govern our society.

Let us stop asking only, “Who will save Nigeria?” Let us also ask, “What must I change in myself to make Nigeria better?”

May God help us.

Life is not complicated; it is our unchecked ambitions that often make it feel that way.

Aspiring for more is a good thing, but let us never forget to find joy in the little things that God has already blessed us with.

I pray you have a week filled with peace, gratitude, and simple joys.

There is no sacrifice you can ever give to God—not money, not service, not your talent or gift, and not your ministry, no matter how big or popular it may be—that can take the place of obedience to Him.

“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” — 1 Samuel 15:22 (KJV)

Obedience is better than sacrifice.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” — James 1:22

To hear the Word and not obey it is self-deception.

The true evidence that we have received the Word is not merely in our hearing, but in our obedience to it.

May the Holy Spirit ignite in us a fresh zeal to hear His Word, believe it, and do it!

It Is Possible!

It is possible to fall and rise again.
It is possible to lose everything and recover it all.
It is possible to feel weak today and be strong tomorrow.
It is possible to cry tonight and laugh in the morning.
It is possible to mess up and still do better.
It is possible to have nothing now and have everything tomorrow.

Because with God, ALL things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

You may have fallen, lost everything but by the power in the name of Jesus you will rise, you will recover all and this shall happen according to my words.

Amen.

It is well!

“And let us consider one another to PROVOKE unto love and to good works:”— Hebrews 10:24

Consider that word: PROVOKE.

Think about how you can PROVOKE someone unto good works.
How can your words, actions, kindness, generosity, and example inspire someone to love more, serve more, give more, forgive more, and live more like Christ?

You can do this by embodying the love of God and setting a godly example.

Sometimes, your life may be the encouragement someone needs to take a step toward God.

And when you deliberately provoke others toward love and good works, you are also positioning yourself for heaven’s blessings.

Be the reason someone does something good today.
