The grand administrator and director of Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC) board, Dr. Kenneth Idiodi has said that Nigerians are unserious people who only wish the country works without taking steps to make it happen.
Idiodi who stated this in a keynote address at the Eastern Regional meeting of AMORC held in Calabar, Cross River State, said the country will not be great by mere thinking and stressed that “we have to work for the kind of Nigeria we want in the future now.”
“If we want our country to work, we have to be serious and plan for it. Nigeria cannot be great based on wishful thinking; we have to plan and work towards it like serious people do. Those who are prophesying about the future of Nigeria are just deceiving themselves .We have to work for the kind of Nigeria we want in the future now.
“We can create the kind of Nigeria we want by being serous with our planning which is a very important step in the process to succeed, we can’t create a Nigeria of our desire through predictions and prophesies.
“Whenever we become serious about moving Nigeria forward ,then Nigeria will be great again, all we need is just one dose of seriousness .The hypocrisy should be discarded ,let us get serious as a people because we have all it takes to be where we want to be,” he said.
Commenting on the endorsement of candidates for the 2019 general elections, Idiodi said the Rosicrucian Order, as AMORC is also known, does not engage in such act which he described as “injustice.”
He said AMORC is not a political organisation adding that the organisation is made up of people from different ethnic, religious and political affiliations.
He said the Rosicrucian Order preaches good leadership, justice, fairness, effective representation and participatory democracy which can better the lot of everyone in the society.
“At a time when Nigeria is seen to be a country that has virtually all religious denominations in the world, at time when many visitors see Nigeria as a highly religious oriented society and a nation with incessant calls for the Almighty intervention in its affairs, Rosicrucian has chosen to consider ‘spirituality for social justice’ as a way of adding our voice for justice in the country.
He said Nigeria and most societies in the world are fraught with all kinds of problems such as poverty, hunger, ill health, crime, terrorism, discrimination, which are all caused by maladministration and injustice.
“However, in the scheme of things it so happens that there is one vice that is responsible for most if not all the other vices and that is societal injustice,” he said.
