Nigeria Needs Nehemiah

Book excerpt: Nehemiah governed Judah from Jerusalem for twelve years. He was a professional caterer who specialized in wine service and worked for the Emperor of Persia before he returned to Jerusalem to lead the rebuilding of the walls and the fixing of the gates of the city. His outstanding record performance led to his emergence as the governor, an office he used to achieved several other things his predecessors could not. He depended on God, his boss and kinsmen supporters to defy all odds to achieve on record time. Nations, particularly those tagged needy nations, rather than poor nations, need rewarding rulers like nebulous Nehemiah.
