A black pot produces a white pap.~Yoruba proverb
We all know what gold passes through before it becomes pure. Fire!
Do you also know that you cannot have a star in the Army without a scar?
Do you also agree with me that the greatest man that ever lived on earth was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth?
All of these examples have something in common and that is "paying the price".
The problem with our dear country is not corruption neither is it terrorism. The problem is that we have stopped believing in Nigeria. Imagine a 52years old man who doesn't believe in himself. What do you think will happen to him? He will lack the will to put his life on track. Have you ever asked yourself why corruption has taken over completely in Nigeria? The highest employer of labour in Nigeria is corruption. Terrorism has become the order of the day. But why is all these happening in our own generation? This is the question we all should be asking ourselves if we need solution to our nation's crisis. This is the question I've started asking myself of recent after reading the account of Moses and Jesus. Why did the government of their time approved the killing of babies, children, infants? The answer is that the cabal of their time do not want those with the solution to see the light of the day. The same thing is happening in our own time. Those who have the answer to our problems are among us, it may even be you. But the system has been corrupted so that you will have no option than to swim with the current. They want to also make sure that you and I stop believing that we can still have the Nigeria of our dream. The corrupt and occultic leaders we have today rose from among us. You are here today, when you get there later in life will you allow yourself to be corrupted also. Who do you think will fight for the right of others? Who do you expect to speak for the freedom of the less privileges? Wherever you find yourself tomorrow or later in life, remember this one thing- that you are there for a purpose and the purpose is for the greater good of all and not just of yourself. If Mahatma Ghandi of India had waited for someone else to fight for others, do you think he will ever be remembered? If you also are waiting for someone to take steps before you stand for what is right, your generation yet unborn will never be free from this evil trend. The generation of our fathers and fore-fathers have failed us, are we also going to fail the generations coming behind us by not standing our ground for what is right? The solution to our problem in Nigeria is for you to start doing what is right in your office, neighbourhood, and society.
It has to start from you because the whole world awaits your action.
