MUSA-ODODO ABDULRAHAMAN
A Sacred Cry for the Awakening of True Fatherhood in the Rebirth of Nigeria
“Where are the Fathers?”
The question rises like incense from the ashes of our confusion,
like the wail of a child searching for shelter in a crumbling home.
Are we a fatherless generation?
A nation wandering the wilderness of falsehood, power, and self-deceit –
yet deeply, desperately, aching for a guide, a light, a soul who knows the Way.
FATHERHOOD: THE DIVINE FOUNDATION OF HUMANITY
Fatherhood is not biology.
Fatherhood is not age.
Fatherhood is not mere authority.
True Fatherhood is Foundation.
It is the Pillar upon which the Divine Family rests.
It is the unseen but unshakable Force that frames the structure of civilization.
Fatherhood is Vision. Direction. Identity. Security. Sacrifice.
It is the active transmission of Purpose from Generation to Generation.
In the Divine Order of Life, the Father is the Initiator of Meaning,
the One who Names, who Blesses, who Builds,
who Stands at the Gate of Destiny and Says: “This is the Way.”
A true Father sees the unseen.
A true Father hears the cries before they’re uttered.
A true Father leads not just with laws, but with Love.
Not just with commands, but with Compassion.
Not just with might, but with Moral Majesty.
WHO IS A FATHER TO A NATION?
A Father to a Nation is not just a Head of State.
He is the Heart of the People.
He is the one who bears the collective burden of a million destinies
in the silence of his soul.
He is not a seeker of titles but a Seer of Truth.
He is not a dealer in power but a Defender of Purpose.
He is not an occupant of office but an Oracle of Order.
A Father to a Nation is a Prophet with Policy,
a Philosopher with Power,
a Shepherd with Strategy,
a Guardian of Generational Dreams.
He is the midwife of National Rebirth,
the Divine Witness at the Altar of a New Beginning.
ARE WE A FATHERLESS GENERATION?
This is the most dangerous reality of our time.
We have plenty of men, but few Fathers.
We have rulers and politicians, but not Patriarchs.
We have speakers without Seers, governors without Guardians,
presidents without Prophets.
Nigeria is in dire need of Fathers –
Not those intoxicated by office,
but those illuminated by Vision.
Not those who feed on the nation,
but those who bleed for it.
Those who have developed the arsenal of their minds
against the temptations of transient power,
and who are ready to die for Eternal Purpose.
NIGERIA DOES NOT NEED MORE POLITICIANS
Yes, politicians have a place,
but not all politicians can father a nation.
We speak of a different breed.
We speak of Moral Leaders –
People whose backs will not bend to tribal greed,
whose knees will not bow to corrupt wealth,
whose hands will not build systems that enslave.
We speak of men and women with Profound Moral Imagination,
who can see the Nigeria that does not yet exist –
and labor night and day to birth her.
We speak of those with Immense Moral Courage,
who will rise even when they must stand alone,
who will speak even when the world commands silence,
who will build even when all around them is rubble.
NIGERIA NEEDS A FATHER NOW
At this sacred hour of evolutionary transition,
Nigeria needs a Father-Figure,
a Universal Being,
a Cosmic Citizen
who knows who we truly are.
Who understands that Nigeria is more than borders –
She is a Divine Project,
destined to birth a New World,
to become the Covenant Nation that leads the Earth
into a Civilization governed by Justice, Mercy, and Divine Intelligence.
We are not just in need of governance – we are in need of Guidance.
We do not merely seek reforms – we seek Rebirth.
We do not want saviors – we want Fathers.
WHERE ARE THE FATHERS?
Where are those whose words carry the weight of eternity?
Where are those who walk with Wisdom,
whose presence calms storms,
whose vision pierces veils,
whose spirit ignites hope?
Where are the Fathers of Destiny,
those who will rise with Truth in their bones,
with Fire in their voice,
with Love in their hearts,
and with Nigeria on their shoulders?
TO ALL NIGERIANS – ESPECIALLY OUR LEADERS:
This is your summons.
This is your sacred responsibility.
To become more than politicians, kings, governors or ministers –
To become Fathers.
Fathers of Vision.
Fathers of Purpose.
Fathers of a New Nigeria.
A FINAL CHARGE
If you carry the Fire of Truth, step forward.
If you see the Unseen Nation in your spirit, speak.
If you feel the heartbeat of a New Nigeria in your chest, rise.
For Nigeria is not waiting for elections.
Nigeria is waiting for Fathers.
Fathers who will midwife the Dream of Ages.
Fathers who will lead us to a Nation
that is not just great, but good;
not just prosperous, but purposeful;
not just free, but awakened.
Let the Fathers Arise!
Let the New Nigeria be Born!
📣 TO EVERY NIGERIAN – SHARE THIS MESSAGE. LET IT AWAKEN THE FATHERS AMONG US.
Let this be read in government halls, homes, classrooms, mosques, churches, palaces, and markets.
Nigeria is Calling.
Will the Fathers Answer?
