The judgement quashing all the 170 charges against Mr Ibori has spun a new industry, in the words of one of two, those of 'arm chair lawyers and experts'.Some have interpreted the judgment in the terms of Post hoc ergo propter hoc, the Latin for "after this, therefore because (on account) of this", in other words James O. Ibori is an innocent man because the 170 charges against him have been quashed. In other words, vindication all around for the person of the ex-Governor.

An example is in a society where time keeping is kept at premium we cannot export time sloppiness ('African Time') and expect a positive or serious response. Another illustration might be the nature of songs we sing, do they exclude 'outsiders'? Do we celebrate other national days, events such as the 'Remembrance Day' or we remained focused on only our own days? Does are singing during night vigils done in buildings that are not sound proof, acceptable in Africa, constitute a nuisance in the residential areas where we worship?

Now I conclude with Lamido Sanusi a scion of the Kano ruling class, a product of the illustrious King’s College, Lagos, whose accent does not betray his heritage. In a few weeks of his appointment he has against all expectations demonstrated his mettle, grasped the bull by the horn and thrown down the gauntlet to the banking sector. As far back as January this year I had in the midst of august company been intimated about the systemic problems of the banking sector.

My story bears witness, my circumstance speaks to this. Over 30 years ago my family was plunged into despair, when my father a rising star was cut down at age 35 years. In our midst of uncertainty, want, poverty and the shadow of sadness, through God’s grace, my mother’s sacrifices and the support of the extended family we made it. Simple as this story is, the truth is Nigeria is in the midst of despair and uncertainty today, with a clueless leadership, a confounding enemy and a people filled with apathy but I say Nigeria, your time has come.

The seduction of the internet and new technology is so subtle so effective that it is fast becoming the preferred vehicle of transmission for many a man or woman of God, for you can mobilise and inspire ‘followers’ with little expense. They can even use the medium to form and solidify a relationship of Daddy and son, Mummy and daughter even without ever meeting or speaking to their teeming ‘followers’. The mentoring of a cyber variety develops, I describe them as cyber relationships developed and evolved with limited and meaningful interaction.

However, I have not given up hope because even though the chaos theory has to do with fractal geometry I am told that it has to do with finding order and even great beauty in what looks like total chaos. That if we look closely at the randomness around Nigeria then patterns will start to emerge. One consolation therefore is the possibility that in the midst of what looks like your randomness and your chaotic governing style that a pattern of progress and development is starting to emerge and that soon and very soon it will become evident to the many.

I was taught to think that ambition for my country is good, that overreaching for it is good, that people in service should give a vision of government that is more than corruption and cluelessness combined. That governance should be about optimism. That is why against all odds visited upon us by the current crop of ‘politicians’ and a ravaging and confounding enemy called corruption.

The minority ethnic churches by their very nature bring about challenges one of them is the possibility of the second generation problem. There could come a time when these churches cease to attract any of the second generation Africans as their children, for the tendency of the second generation, as shown by the other earlier migrants, as shown by the other earlier migrants, to become more anglicised and start to consider themselves British is inevitable.

Most Africans and some other internationals, language and culture are closely related, most of their churches function as a cultural oasis where one could meet people with the same or similar ethno cultural background. The churches remind people of their home country and their native culture. They are places where people could meet friends with similar life experiences. At church they meet people of their own age, with the same sort of background history.

This is part of the 1st part of a paper that makes an attempt to explore solutions to some questions facing the British churches operating in a climate of different and diverse cultures?It explores whether division into separate churches is a way forward to address the differences and diversities? Or whether rather they should seek to ensure arrangements are made for the 'Grecians' (Others) to be cared for amongst them. Fernando (1998:230) Thorsten (2008:69).
