"Nigeria is the only country this generation has to
call their own..."
This was the statement made by the Iconic Buhari when he
delivered his speech after taking over in 1983
This is true.
Nigerians this is the only Country we have to call our own
and we have to fight and redeem her from the hands of the corrupt political
class
Some people have dual citizenship, others tri-citizenship
and can run to other Countries if anything evil happens, but for many of us
that only have the Nigeria citizenship we have to ensure that this Country is
made habitable for us and our children
We have no alternative, we have no plan-B country, Nigeria
is the only land we have..
Compatriots, it is time we put aside genuinely, tribal,
religious and ethnic sentiments, galvanize our thoughts and action together,
form a common front and deliver this Country from the political vampires that
are feeding on the blood of Nigeria
This is the only Country I have, I don't intend to change my
citizenship, and i dont intend Nigeria to continue in the scum-like situation
that we have been plunge into by men of low virtue
I call on all Nigerians to re-dedicate their lives to the
emancipation of this great Country, we should come together, strategize on how
to deliver the Country.i dream of a Nigeria where merit and competence will be
the measure and standard ,and not
connection,tribalism nepotism, cronyism or godfatherism ; a Country where the Judiciary will dispense
justice to the poor, the rich, the low and the mighty; a Country where my president
would not treat the citizens with high-handedness and contempt, a Country where
the law makers will make laws that are in the interest of the masses ,not
vested interest!
Compatriots, I want us not to be short-sighted in this
Nigerian project; because you and I have a good job or business now does not
mean all is well, we have a total collapse of the institutions that sustain a
society; i want you and I to think of our children,grandchildren and
posterity,If we don't fix this mess, they may also come under the same
conditions if not worse; the plan of this evil, vampirical political elites is
to ensure that the masses continue to serve their own children-we must reject
this.
Our future is in our hands, and really at stake if we become
indifferent, believing that just prayers could help-faith without work is dead,
says the holy Bible.Compatriots and comrades, I use this medium to encourage us
to be politically inclined.If you decide to be apolitical, you have handed over
your destiny to others to determine..Note, everything about life is
politics..Whether you have a job this year or not is politics..whether your
business prospers is politics..whether you live in security or not is
politics..hence you can't decide to be apolitical
I am not saying everyone should join politics, but i am
saying each and everyone of us must make their voices heard when things that
affect us are discussed.We have to become politically conscious- just putting
up a short write up condemning a reckless spending goes a long way, questioning
cost of project by challenging the costing goes a long way..I am more concerned
about my children, and i think all of us have to..we have to demand for
institutionally reforms
Institutional reforms that will ensure that the system works
irrespective of who is there. Nigeria needs more of strong institutions than
strong leaders, but first we need strong leaders that will be bold to ensure strong
institutions are built.Without a functional institutional framework, your
future and mine and that of our children will be left to chance, connection and
all other unfair measures..Strong institutions will ensure that the best always
emerge..strong institutions will always reward merit and competence , instead
of mediocrity.
Nigeria is at the threshold, at the watershed of history, at
a crossroad of destiny..men and women of courage and character are needed to
remould and redirect this great Country to prosperity, men and women like you
and I are needed..will you make yourselves available?
Nigeria shall flourish again, and it shall be in my life
time..Amen
