No people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom… Thomas Macaulay
Nigerian, we need to wake up from our slumber, if we want to reap the blessing of freedom we must undergo the fatigue of supporting it. Why do we wait for someone to start, majority job is no man job. If we want to build a strong nation it must be in love and with unity. Individuality can not make us one, we can only grow tall when we live in one community and peaceful society. Forget tribalism and ethnicity, put the motive of the power belong to us behind us, if the west are pivoting the affair of the nation; that does not generalize them to be the FOOD BASKET OF THE NATION instead of their individual motto. The change begins with you. Be the visionary that the country is looking for, if you think the country is corrupt check yourself if you are a saint in making.
Corruption is everywhere in you home and in my also. If truly we want to eradicate corruption in our society it begins in our individual home and community; in our sphere of contact. Remove the peg in your eyes before removing the log in other people’s eyes. Our country needs those that can find solutions to our problem, people who will make new discoveries and proffer new thoughts and ideologies that we make the nation great not people who will create law for their own self interest. We do not need to wait for help, be a source of inspiration to others, and be a helper, a giver, a solution provider. “Nigerian can no longer be a potential”…Jide Salu. We know we have what it takes to be a great nation; we have the strength, the youth and the resources. We do not need to compromise our standard; we do not need to accept the status quos. “One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised”… Chinua Achebe. We don’t need to be force into what we never want to do just to have a loaf on our table and wine in our belly. We can never remain captives under the name of freedom, we need to be responsible for our action and enjoy the true reward of freedom. “We are free, truly free, when we do not need to rent our arms to anybody in order to be able to lift a piece of bread to our mouth”… Ricardo. Flores. Morgan. We need to stand on our ground and change our world, our sphere of contact and if we tend to change our immediate environment, we will ultimate change the country.
“Nigeria is what it is because its leader is not what they should be”… Chinua Achebe
In the Roman and Legion army it is said that there can only be a bad leaders and no bad followers. The country needs to grow so also the leader need to change. We need to treat the corruption in our society in Chinese way. We need leader that can be a Cat in the midst of the Rat around us, someone who we not be bully by the so called god’s fathers. The politician are what they are because we give them the power to be, we allow them to rob us of their right and duty to the nation, we gave them the power when we failed to make the best use of it. Though it look that we can not do anything against this disease of epidemic proportion in our society and one that has the greatest effect on more people than any other single interaction that occur on each one of its. The politician are not the only one concerned in this, it is at every places where leadership is excise, in our various house and working place, at every fields and areas of life. If we want to wash Nigeria clean, we need start washing our dirty linen first. Corruption is everywhere at every places you can imagine. It does not start and end at the political arena; it is what affects you and I. Politician in Nigeria need to stop acting like a magician, they should stop drawing our attention away from what they are doing. We need our eyes open to be able to see things that need to be done in our community. Things can change if we have the love of our community in our heart, the love that light and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism, to reminds us of our anthem and pledge (to serve Nigeria with all my strength). Nigeria Great People Great Nation.
Happy independent my fellow Nigerian.
