October 1st! In the heat of Agitations
I believe in Nigeria: We are a great Nation
We need to see beyond the distraction.
What makes you think that the Ibos are the problem of Nigeria or that Biafra or Arewa Republic is the solution to Nigeria’s unending problem? Why have we belittled ourselves to make this about race and religion? We have closed our eyes from the truth and reality to concentrate on the things that are not needed and we think that division is better to unity.
We have been divided with privileges and castes. We have failed to manage our nation and we constantly look for excuses to allow our irresponsible and irresponsive government to continue to deprive us especially the youth of a better future.
Where have our knowledge gone?
How have we failed to learn and understand that a true and responsible government only needs discipline, accountability, transparency, integrity, effective and efficient management of resources, adequate concerned for the disadvantaged of the society who they vowed to protect and take care of; diligence of work for the development eluding Nigeria and not for personal enrichment or self favoured policies?
We have been so manipulated that we believe that being together is the basic problem and we have never asked what, how and where our resources are been used on. Have we now be fooled enough to encourage our leaders to divide this nation on the basis of castes and religion?
A true and responsible government can ensure credibility in governance plus a developed Nigeria; but 99.9% of our leaders are investing on our division for them to amass wealth and go free.
This celebration is to help us understand that we are one people, better together.
Happy Birthday Nigeria
