Think of the
mistakes our parents made and look for means by which we can avoid such in the
future. If the truth is to be said, we see that our leaders have failed and are
failing us,
Our efforts
and courage are not just enough without our
purpose and direction towards a
common goal of rebuilding Nigeria. Don’t let us lose our focus, direction and
purpose through greediness, selfishness and nonchalant attitudes. We can’t
afford to relax or watch with our jaw resting on our palms. We can’t afford to keep
looking without acting on our hapless situation. We have to stand now and fight
for what truly belong to us; we have to embrace and right our wrongs and the
wrongs of our forefathers. Is hope alive?
Quoting JFK,
“to state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past.
The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful
accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust. Yea, you and I are the
heir of today, but which kind of heir do you choose to be? Remember, there is
always a consequence for the choice you make in life. The progress or the opposite is a choice you have to make. If you selfishly choose
yourself over the future of Nigeria, know that the consequence may come back to haunt your children.
I am
beseeching and urging all young and patriotic Nigerians out there to exercise
more patience. Let us forgive our enemies and the enemies of this nation (who
have selfishly lured the wealth for themselves and their families, and are
ignorantly selling the glory of these nation for selfish reasons), but don’t
let us forget their names. Their names would never go down well in the history
of this nation even when a new chapter is written about this nation in the
future.
Yoruba, Igbo
and Hausa, let us live in harmony and be tolerance of one another. JFK said
“tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs. Rather it
condemns the oppression or persecution of others”.
Nigerians be
patient, don’t give up, keep your hopes alive; don’t quit now, open your eyes
and see it; the future. The change is nearby; nearer than ever. But the cloud
is too dark for a mere man to see the bright light that is to come. Is hope alive?
Our problems
are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he
wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. The change you and I
have been clamoring for is right there in our heart, but are we ready to
unleash it?
According
to J.F Kennedy, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past
or present are certain to miss the future”. President
Kennedy has rightly said it all, and the tragedy of it is that if you don’t
believe in change, you will miss out in the future when the change actually
comes. Not only if you do not believe in it, but also if you antagonize a
change (especially the positive ones).
