NIGERIA IS ANOTHER WORLD IN THE WORLD

Time proceeds. It moves and moves with those who want to and are willing to move. Time has no mortal ruler, it can’t be governed, it’s either you come to terms with it or remain stagnant and backward. Time is the reason why we hasten our footsteps to meet up with our scheduled plan; it is the reason why some people are described as smart. Time is the womb of success and failure, time is free, priceless and uncontrolled; it is on time that we have our motion, so without time the world won’t be, without it there will be no history, without it there will be no present, past, nor the future. Without time Nigeria won’t be 52.

                Nigeria is 52. This is jubilee. If Nigeria where to be a man, he probably might have some adults as children, not just children, responsible children, children who can stand on their feats and make things happen, but Nigeria is a country with more than one hundred and seventy million people, it is a country with much resources, Nigeria is a nation that is supposed to have some responsible children who should be willing to stand and defend her territory and make her a proud mother in the African continent. And Nigeria has responsible children. All over the world there are Nigerians. Most great universities in the world has great lecturers from Nigeria, Nigeria is an exporter of greatness, there are Nigerians I England, U.S.A, Spain, Jamaica, etc. and I am tempted to say Nigeria is the world, Nigeria, the world? Somebody’s tempted to ask. Yes the world, not because the world is in it, but because it is represented everywhere in the world.

Is it that the human resources in this country have been producing excessive labour or are been under used, or over used with lesser pay; what is it that is driving my brothers outside the shores of this nation? Is it that the country has attained and it wants others to also attain? Do our universities rate highest among league of great universities, or is our educational sector so solid hat we don’t need more professional?  Have we reached the peak in terms of good primary health care services; our villages, do they have wonderful and superb hospitals? Does every Nigerian eat at least three times in a day? Is it that we have an essential food security?

                Are our industries world class? Do we have an interrupted power supply? How about our political structure; how strong is it? Is it fair to the masses? Are Nigerians willing to be governed; I mean, do they have love and passion for the laws and constitutions of the land?

                Why are we not keeping our genius, why can’t we keep them to help better the lots of our pride? Like it or live it, Nigeria is our pride, it lives in us, it lives in me. And I won’t be wrong to say I am Nigeria. I am Nigeria, so I know the pain of this nation, I also know the joy of it and I have an idea of its upliftment, what can make it a better nation. I have an idea of what the future is from the present situation and what it will look like if some measures are taken; I know the future will be better and brighter if we learn from the past.
