God's Wrath Revealed Against Niger

Psalm 55:15  Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Proverbs 21:12  The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

Niger is a perfect example of the waste howling wilderness. God has cursed this nation with drought, famine, poverty, illiteracy, and poor health. Drought is common to Niger causing poor crop production, death of cattle and massive starvation of her citizens. Following periods of drought, heavy rains and floods come and cause displacement of thousands of people yearly.

Niger has been found to have the highest infant mortality rate in the world (248 in every 1,000), according to Save the Children. Primarily, this is due to poor health, poor nutrition and starvation. It is common practice for the Muslim men of this God-forsaken nation to leave their wives and children without access to any food they have collected and to actually lock it away while they leave their communities looking for work, claiming it is the woman’s duty to find food. What the heck??
