REFLECTING ON NIGERIA @ 52

REFLECTING ON  NIGERIA @ 52

We can choose to lament about Nigeria or roll up our sleeves and get to work. At a TV programmed I participated in a couple of years ago; I told Agatha’s audience that ‘’We are the change we seek’’ because the problem facing Nigerians is a collective problem that requires a collective solution, the two major problems that has forever held Nigerians captives is that of corruptions and leadership and the two have human beings at the core of its operations and it also requires human beings to solve them. You and I are Nigeria’s problems and you and I too must become it solutions.

 No doubt the government has a critical, crucial and paramount role to play in ensuring that we have a nation that is working in terms of infrastructure and all but the bane of the Nigerians problem is not the nation Nigerian but its people. Yes you and I are the ones that must shape up and imbibe new and better moral values that will help to rebuild our fatherland.

We must imbibe the spirit of excellence, hard work, integrity and order. At the moment we have a lot of apathy, despair and even despondency to set out of the way before we begin to see the trees from the fog.

We are blessed by God Almighty with an incredible nation. We are blessed with our demographics, geography and even our economics and we are no doubt destined for greatness and its clear deals we will get to our Eldorado in serve couple of years if we the citizenry decide to become the change we seek.

 For years now we have allowed decadence and despair to rule our body polity, its turn to shake off the beast and begin to resolve to build a better and greater Nigeria. It’s possible, its achievable and its expedient even more so at this time we cannot continue to crawl when we ought to soar and we cannot continue to borrow when we ought to lending.

We have all we need to succeed, we have it all in great abundance, is it the weather, the resources, both human and material or the typography, everything is in great abundance, Nigerians as a people are the greatest achievers anywhere the find themselves when they choose to be good.

Let’s convert all our energy to rebuilding our nation let imbibe what I will call the “7 principles of TRANSFORMATION”!

1. Confront the problem
2. Constructively set out to change the situation
3. Commit to the change process.
4. Compare all the possible solutions to the problem
5. Combat the problem head long.
6. Continue till the very end until you bring about possible positive changes.
7. Celebrate your victories and continue in the process of continual change, working continually until you achieve permanent good concerning the situation in this case our nation.

Let us all wake up and realize that we all can contribute whenever we find ourselves. If we all signup to the good of Nigeria everywhere we find ourselves within the Nigerian state than we would be on the road to emancipation as a nation.

Let’s continue to pray for the leadership until we have another chance at making our voices count the ballot all of until then all we can do is PRAY and on our own part, roll up our sleeves and begin the arduous task of nation rebuilding.

We have mega stars scattered all over Nigeria lets all use our big positrons to make changes we deserve and soon the leadership will catch up.

 Happy independence Nigerians everywhere, God bless our father land, God bless our president Goodluck Ebelle Jonathan.
