The Ultimate Nigeria- Dying or Waking up?

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. 
                                                                                                     John F. Kennedy
In the environment of "the Third World Countries" (especially Nigeria), I do no think the leaders are so freak about leaving a good standard behind with their focus only on how to enrich themselves with the money meant for public consumption and development! Steve Jobs once said, "be a yardstick of quality. Some people are not used to an environment where excellence is expected!" What can we really expect from our leaders who have been engaging self-enrichment, Nepotism, Favoritism, etc. For decades, even before I was born, there have been unending optimism that, Nigeria is going to be better nation! Now in my mid-thirties, 9Ja has turned to worse off! economy recession is strangulating all the common man while our so-called leaders are still living an extravagant life! The limited resources are suppose to be manage in a way that, all of us will have something to eat in a good way but not crumbs (even some don't have access to crumbs)! One citizen is living below $1 per day while other is extravagantly the richest man in Africa, Politicians have turned Nigeria to George Orwell's "Animal farm" where 'all animals are equal but some are more equal than others; recently, a man was sentenced to two years imprisonment for stealing a goat while some public office holders who stole Billions of Naira was asked refund a mince-meat amount (some even used the 'plea-bargain) to escaped Justice! A little boy was killed by a man for stealing phone while a present Minister was accused of siphoning public funds while he was the governor of particular state in Nigeria, many more!
When are we going to get it right? It is about time we loose hope on Nigeria I think, but when there is live, there suppose to hope for survival! i call on the Almighty God to take control of our nation!
God Bless Nigeria

A Challenge to The African Leaders (Nigeria's Example)

"Be a gift to everyone who enters your life, and to everyone who’s your life you enter. Be careful not to enter another's if you cannot always be gift (you can always be a gift, because you always are the gift-yet sometimes you do not let yourself know that)" . This quote was culled from the Conversation with God: Uncommon Dialogue. Volume 2 by Weale Donald Walsch ! The life we found ourselves in is a gift, we are a gift, I am a gift and your belief is what can make you a gift if you allow your faith to manifest! Since I discovered myself to be a gift to the world, I have been threading the path of positivism always! From the spirit of given wholeheartedly to the process of helping the helpless in whatever capacity I can! This process leads to why I will always be wondering why African leaders accumulating the wealth meant the entire populace for their personal use. There are times I think the gauntlet of truth must be unveil, alas there is no resources that star...

"WHEN A LOSS IS A VICTORY" - By Dr. Wladimir Klitchsko

At the end of April I competed against Anthony Joshua , and thereby took on the greatest of all challenges: In front of 90,000 spectators in a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London – as well as a TV audience of millions in more than 150 countries – I fought the fight of my life against the 28-year-old Englishman. I competed to conquer the best of the best. Sadly, I failed to achieve my goal. The outcome was that my opponent won the fight. But despite this, and however absurd it may sound, I also left the ring victorious. In the run-up, I was 100 percent certain that I would win the duel. I had prepared as well as I could and felt I was in the best form of my life; winning back the title of World Champion was my obsession. I gave it everything during the fight. I managed to get up several times after being knocked down. I was even able to send my opponent to the canvas. But, in the end, it was Anthony Joshua who struck the decisive blow and left the ring victorious. I failed to ...

Shujaa Ernest Graham- A Rare Gem!

By profiling a man like Shujaa Graham; I am just wondering where can we find a matching example here in Nigeria? What we are witnessing today, are just self-serving leaders, who are hellbent on trampling the common man's rights without blinking! We wakes up to lots of empty promises and all they preach is patience! Chief Obafemi Awolowo, of blessed memory spoke about the decay of public affairs, a year after independence! What was the reaction? It is rhetorical when many unanswerable questions are what we could tenders to the incoming generations! Say No To Injustice! Say No To Racial Segregation!! Together we can make the world a better place to live in!!! Happy reading! A man who has shown by example that you can stand up for what you believe, and be victorious if you stand up for what you believe. Shujaa Graham was born in Lake Providence, LA, where he grew up on a plantation. His family worked as share-croppers, in the segregated South of the 50s. In 1961, he ...
