It was Matt Beemer, Visiting American Missionary to Nigeria once observed that "Nigeria is the decision making centre for Africa and if such is true, what is she exporting to others ." Very strong profound statement to his credit! Truly if Nigeria must be that force that takes decision for Africa, she must have in possession some virtues, strength that others lack. But we need to ask ourselves this crucial question: do we as a country have a core value, vision or mission statement?
Definitely capital NO.
The so called vision 20-2020 being chanted in some quarter is not a good representation of our core values cause it is a borrowed culture after the order of U.N millennium development goals (MDGs).
When the name of America, China and other developed countries of the world is being mentioned, something comes to mind - their IDENTITY. But in our's case nothing comes to mind than our criminality, cruel and crude nature.
We can't fight for the cause we don't know and what you don't know will be what will hurt you. If we must move forward the Nigeria Dream, there must be clear cut defined vision we are pursuing as a nation. Until this is in place we have no race at our feet to run, we as individuals, society must unite as one body and engage our leaders demanding from them the vision of the Nigeria Dream.
Every of our politician manifesto and mantra must carries slice of the Nigeria Dream. Our personal interest must also carry slice of it, enough of me-me selfish syndrome we've carried over the years. LETS DROP THEM DOWN AND CHANT FORWARD THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAM. TOGETHER WE SHALL ALL BUILD OUR NATION AS VIRILE COUNTRY NATIONS OF THE WORLD WOULD DESIRE TO BEHOLD. If America who was once in our shoe can build their nation by themselves then we can. GREAT NATION, GREAT PEOPLE!! WELCOME ONBOARD TO THE NEW NIGERIA PROJECT.
