EMERGENCE OF THE NEW NIGERIA

EMERGENCE OF A NEW NIGERIA  
                               (The worst road at night in Nigeria by the year 2025)

Let it be heralded to the North, East, West and South that the long awaited emergence of The New Nigeria is very much around the corner. That all may be prepared by turning over a new leave and consistently work for the advancement of our great nation not to miss out of the blessedness of newness in this land. For it is only those who faithfully seek the prosperity of Nigeria that will savor the enjoyment when it become in no distant time even, this generation will partake of it.

For those who don’t know, this present dispensation marks the end of every corrupt and evil Nigerians. It doesn't matter who they are and where they are. Are they leaders or followers, are they in the country or in a foreign land, are they in the cities or in the villages, are they religion practitioners or not; there won't be hiding place for them anymore regardless of status, tribe/ethnicity or language. Their evil schemes would have destroyed and rendered them irrelevant.

Then, corruption will be a taboo. Partisan politics, election rigging would become impossible while terrorism, vandalism and kidnapping would eternally lack perpetrators.
By that time, only true well meaning Nigerians would reign supreme in every sphere. Kings would be installed following certified diligent commitment to communal development. Through positive influence alone will people attain significance and maintain their relevance in this New Nigeria.

The end has come to the era of indigenous masters that parade themselves as deliverers but are worst than colonial masters.

Agbara ti bo lowo gbogbo awon to n fi owo Abu se Abu ni alejo. Beeni ko ni si akoso lowo awon ti o n fi eje ati ogo omo eniyan wa owo, ipo ati agbara lati fi je ilu run.
I wrote the above words (in italics) in Yoruba which means; those who take portion of their loot from the treasury to do fake humanitarian services for the masses to sing their praises will no longer have a stake while all ritual killers and every blood monger are banished in the land.

Let those who have ears hear these Living Words from the throne of God to timely make a change before the coming change displace them.  

I see a New Nigeria where candidates would no longer be imposed on fellow citizens as leaders in every political dispensation.

I see a New Nigeria where leaders would emerge based on personal credibility following a good antecedent.

I see a New Nigeria where every citizen would place national interest above personal interest.

I see a New Nigeria where foreign culture and lifestyles that depict perversion like gay marriage, child marriage, and nudity will never reign.

I see a New Nigeria with 24hours stable electricity and portable water supply where good tarred motorable roads link every community together to the least of unknown villages.

I see a New Nigeria where local technology, inventions, goods and services will attract massive global patronages.

I see a New Nigeria where the poorest can comfortably afford family vacation in any part of the world.

I see a New Nigeria where affordable quality health services for all ailments is at the reach of every citizens that no one will have to travel out of the country for any medical treatment.

I see a New Nigeria where criminality is a thing of the past because what make people commit crime is no more like; bad leadership, poverty, covetousness, lack of understanding/poor orientation, godlessness and undue fanaticism.

I see a New Nigeria where there is future for all the children and the hope of the aged will not be cut off.

I see a New Nigeria where our streets no longer serve as habitations for beggars because every disabled and less privileged are duly rehabilitated and empowered for productive living.  

I see a new Nigeria where leaders at all levels will faithfully live up to their oath of office without waiting to be appeased/begged to timely discharge every duty they officially pledge allegiance to or worshiped after the delivery of such services for them to do more.

I see a New Nigeria where divine order is engendered in our polity.

I see a New Nigeria where every citizen counts.

I see a New Nigeria where all her sons and daughters will be proud of.

 
I see a New Nigeria that is a leading leader among nations around the world.
                              (The poorest Nigerian's living room by the year 2025) 

I strongly believe in the prosperity of Nigeria and surely, Nigeria will greatly prosper in my life time even, it will happen in my prime.

May God help Nigeria and may Nigerians help Nigeria I pray in Jesus name.

EVERY NEW GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE A PLUS



                           EVERY NEW GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE A PLUS
We should not only succeed at changing those in government without influencing the incoming leaders to deliver excellent leadership. Every new government should be a plus by improving on the previous at advancing the society.

Considering how many nations have witnessed series of leadership change and government systems without a positive shift in public administration by new set of people that come on-board; I am beginning to think probably the citizens of such nations around the world are only interested in changing people in government based on some unfound differences and they are not truly concerned about transforming their society. Though they succeeded at installing new set of people but there is no tangible change from one dispensation to the other because they usually fail to correct the wrong attitudes of citizens towards national issues as often demonstrated by those who lead as well.

I am of the opinion that every new government should be a plus by improving on the previous at advancing the society. But in a situation where the incoming leaders fail to perform beyond their predecessors, to what benefit is their reign?

As Nigeria is preparing for another election and possible change of leaders in 2015, will there be tangible transformation in government and development of our nation?

Politicians across the nation are grooming and signifying interest to run for different offices. Some are of the opinion that it is the turn of their region/religion to man some key political offices and series of hullabaloo are ongoing about who should contest and who should not in our political parties. While politicians are decamping from one party to another among others, my own concern boils down to the same question above. Assuming a free and fair election is conducted and new leaders are determined, will there be a measurable change in the discharge of their duties? Will there be improvement on areas where previous administrations recorded failure? By the end of their tenure in 2019, will entire Nigerians be convinced of making right choices?

Let me talk in clear terms in this regards. When new leaders emerge in 2015, will all Nigerians enjoy dividends of democracy? Will there be; stable electricity supply, portable water system, security of lives and properties and adequate infrastructural amenities across the nation? Will all rural areas enjoy massive development and be opened to outer world as part of a measure to reduce over congestion in urban areas? Will unemployment and poverty fade out of our land? I trust there won’t be fraud and embezzlement of public funds any longer and Nigeria will become a center of excellence and global attraction as a result of the impact of the new government or what do you think?

However, those who will contest for various positions in the coming national election should be aware right now that it is no longer the old way as usual. Let them ruminate over the above issues to birth a change of attitudes and prepare diligently for quality service delivery eventually they emerge winners at the poll. Likewise, every Nigerian should check his ways not to continue on the path that has always produced unpatriotic and corrupt leaders. When the voters collect bribe no matter how little from a contestant, they have authorized the person to embezzle public fund. We should not only succeed at changing those in government without influencing the incoming leaders to deliver excellent leadership. Every new government should be a plus by improving on the previous at advancing the society. .

Take it or leave it. The conducts of every Nigerian from now forward, determine our take in the next leadership dispensation.

KICK AGAINST EVERY UNFAIR STATUS QUO IN THE SOCIETY

 
 KICK AGAINST EVERY UNFAIR STATUS QUO IN THE SOCIETY

Challenge what has made you or anyone impossible in the society to timely change every system that limit people from realizing their full potentials ahead of those coming behind you. All that constitutes limitations for a generation should not be left unchecked for the next generation to thrive well.

If the only reason I will secure employment in Central bank of my nation or in any other high profile organization is not based on merit but solely because I am the son of a minister or governor or traditional ruler or president or a highly influential person then, it is simply injustice of highest order. Where there is a pepper seller's son/daughter who is truly qualified and should be aptly picked for the same job on merit but would be denied the opportunity being seen as a son of nobody for me who is considered as a son of somebody to secure the job.

Perhaps this is the situation in your society it shouldn't be left unchecked. You should timely act to root out the menace whether you are among its beneficiaries or the deprived. Every opportunity should be made opened to all and if it cannot serve all, selection should be based on merit without fear or favour and thereafter proceed to create more opportunities to serve others.

I know too well that this means a revolution to those who profit by the inequality, injustice and favoritism in their society because of some circumstances and privileges that favour them thus, they may not like it. But following a deep thought, they would realize if the battle against such bad system is won, it is also a liberation for them too because they would be saved of perpetrating injustice and its grave consequences.

Or would they have kept mum assuming they are also among those deprived by the same ill system in which they unduly benefit? What about a possible twist of time and they happen to fall out? Though, the deprived, poor, vulnerable and marginalized may lack the power to fight for themselves but God is always interested to see that justice and freedom is delivered to them in the fullness of time.

Who knew that Former President of Libya of late in person of Muammar Gaddafi would die the way he died? Consider all his cohorts and loyalists that unduly profited during his self imposed reign in the old Libya, where are they today? Oh! You don't know they no longer have a stake in the same nation where they once reigned? This best explains a twist in time that can make anyone with unruly conduct and lack of compassion fall out of place. 

Those who are neither perpetrators nor victims of the limiting factors in their society should not act unconcerned. It is still required of them to challenge such anomalies by speaking up in the interest of both the perpetrators and the victims to be delivered to timely end such problems for the sake of the next generation not to be perverted. We all owe people coming behind us to root out all evils before their arrival and set the right standard for them to carry on. If those ahead of us have failed to subdue injustice, inequality and favoritism before we came, we shouldn't fail likewise.

ONE PEOPLE, ONE PURPOSE, ONE PLANET!!!


  


                                      ONE PEOPLE, ONE PURPOSE, ONE PLANET!!!

“Everyone is made to beautify the world. That is why people emerge in different colours, cultures and compositions with diversity of beautiful potentials for the world not to be monotonous and boring.”

From my home town – Oro-Ago in Kwara State, Nigeria to Late Nelson Mandela’s village – Qunu in South Africa to Angola to Somalia to Croatia to America to Australia to Saudi Arabia to Korea to Portugal to Iran to Afghanistan to Japan to the Caribbean to England to Ireland to Israel and to all other nations: I don’t see only blacks/whites, I don’t see only Spanish/German speaking, I don’t see only Hindus/Christians/Muslims, I don’t see only male/female, I don’t see only adults/children, I don’t see only freed/convicted, I don’t see only rich/poor neither leaders/the led nor only disable/able. Rather, I see all people across the world as only one regardless of differences. For who we are, what we share/have and where we are is simply: ONE PEOPLE, ONE PURPOSE and ONE PLANET.

This means we are all human beings made to make the world the very best it should be in unison. Hence, it should be known that all of us are needed that is why we came and each one is expected to do significantly well by giving one another freedom to fully maximize the privilege of living for our collective good.
In view of this; no people of any race or religion or national should disregard the other because every person amidst all differences across the universe is very important and a single entity is not enough to make the world run smoothly for each person in existence is a completion of humanity in one part.

In a nutshell, everyone is meant to beautify the world. That is why people emerge in different colours, cultures and compositions with diversity of beautiful potentials for the world not to be monotonous and boring. If it were not so, humanity wouldn’t have been blessed with different race, languages, resources, lands and all there is about mankind. So, let us keep adding colourful effects to human race in every respect.

LEVERAGING AS FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS




When we talk about global transformation, changing lives, ensuring the prosperity of mankind, it is not only one person that is involved or one family, group of people as an organization, a community, a religion, a gender or race. No! It is every people that is involved of all families, languages, races/tribes, status, genders, lands, communities, professions, religions, nations. 

Hence, we should device a means to operate on a platform where every human being will find a common ground of connection and could be freely disposed to identify with others regardless of differences to achieve this common goal for the best of entire humanity. 

This is what we are committed to on this platform. We advocate for pulling down every wall of differences and divisions among mankind. 
It should be known by all that being human beings is the common identity we all share regardless of who we are and where we are. Therefore, all of us should relate with one another as fellow human beings and not allow our varied languages, origin, races, traditions, cultures, faith and status to get in between.

By so doing humanity will thrive in endless prosperity across all local borders and international boundaries. 

For the love of mankind we were made and for her prosperity we should live - such pursuit is the will of the Creator of all.
