“The world at large is full of fear. People
want to read about things in
newspapers and watch things on the
television that cause fear. There is another news, apart from Boko Haram,
that is causing fear in Nigeria - Ebola.
Ebola is not Nigeria's challenge. We
should not be hasty in considering it a
challenge. Our challenge is insecurity. It
is a strange ailment. Imagine you carry an almond tree from Europe to Nigeria
to plant it. It will not grow because of
the weather. “That someone came from another
country came for an ECOWAS meeting
and died of Ebola does not mean Nigeria
is not safe. It is good to secure our
nation, our environment but my concern
is that we are going too far. It is affecting the image of the nation
outside Nigeria. It is giving this nation a
bad image, to the detriment of the
name Nigeria. “To the extent we are advertising our
fear in Africa, to that same extent our
name is destroyed. This is a country
under repair because of what Boko
Haram has done to the nation Nigeria.
Don’t damage it more. This nation is safe. If there is any challenge, we have
what it takes to surmount it. “All of this is propaganda. When a little
thing happens, you exaggerate it
because you are looking for funds. How
much can the international community
give to us that can redeem the name
Nigeria we are soiling? A beggar always remains a beggar. Africa, stop begging –
you have what it takes to solve your
problem. “What is the meaning of African unity?
The wound of an African is the wound of
all Africans. The wound of one is the
wound of all. A nation that stands to
solve the problem of other nations will
become successful. Successful people are problem solvers. “There is nothing bad in securing your
nation using every proper means and
educating your citizens. That does not
mean you should use it to destroy the
name of Nigeria as if it is here. It’s not!
Protection and prevention – that should be our assignment in Nigeria.” #TBJoshua
