State Of The Nation: The Search For A New Nigeria (1)

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judge by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King Jr.

No nation can be really great unless it is great in industry, integrity, honesty and excellence. A good government may, indeed, redress the grievance of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation. This is certainly not the best of time and the Nigeria that our heroes envisioned.

“The best way to predict a future is to invent it” The task of nation-building is a very serious business and responsibility of all and sundry, as well as the office of the “CITIZENS” of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a very powerful office, if we take it very seriously, as a joint stakeholders in the Nigerian project. This will ultimately, return power to the people and reduce the level of impunity that we are witnessing today.

Therefore, it has become inevitable that we jointly work on ourselves and also Kickstart the process of “Restructuring of the mind”-away from: materialistic tendencies, greed and self-centered mentality. If we diligently and successfully work on the psyche of the majority of our compatriots home and abroad, we may then, likely get a sober and decent citizens, from where visionary leaders may then emerge from among the good people and begin the process of rebuilding our nation, and put Nigeria back on the progressive world map.

“If nothing change inside of you, nothing can change around you”- Bishop David Oyedepo.

Nigerians as a people destined for greatness, we must, first of all, identify the need to build a strong nation by the reorientation and Restructuring of the mind, before talking about the entity or the illusion of 2023 general election, that is not feasible, given the issues of: Insecurity, poor leadership, election rigging and economic crisis.

Nigeria can be great again, it is the responsibility of all of us. God Almighty bless and grant us the fortitude, strength and wisdom to navigate through the present excruciating pain and the unfortunate situation in which we as a nation find ourselves.

The only way to stop the LOOTING BRIGADES, is to first of all, rethink and restructure the mindsets of our citizens, so that we don’t necessarily have to replicate the past all the time. The only way to stop the idea of having the type of leadership and non performing over bloated system, is to encourage and institutionalized strong establishment, similar to the American system that checkmated the bull that was going to destroy the entire nation and the beautiful people of the United States of America early this year.

NIGERIA WILL RISE AGAIN, OUR COMPATRIOTS ACROSS THE GLOBE WILL REJOICE AGAIN..
