The Quest For A New Nigeria by NNVanguard(m): 11:06am On Sep 02, 2016
IN THE PURSUIT OF A NEW NIGERIA

He is a fool who did nothing because he could only do a little........ Edmund Burke

Its no longer news about the present painful economic realities facing our dear nation, Nigeria as at today. We have heard, seen and felt it like never before.

The reality has dawned on us all that the blame game of past government administration since after the civil war is not the way forward. We are in desperate times and should be able to muster courage and think of what we can do to save our ailing and dying nation. While the bulk of the matter rests on the table of the government yet the citizens aren't left out.

Its time we take down ethnicity, pride, religious supremacism and bigotry in the quest to birth a new great and truly sovereign Nigeria. The spate of hunger and untold hardship is irrespective of tribe and religious affiliations. The Almighty question that may be sounding rhetoric now is, what can we do?

No nation ever develops to enviable heights without the cooperation and mutual trust between the government and its citizens. Its now a norm that we feel that the battered relationship of trust and confidence between the electorate and the political leaders has come to stay and no one is to be blamed because once bitten twice shy. Leaving us in a circle of hopelessness in the government. But of a truth something can be done. Not all Nigerians are bad, just that the good ones have refused to speak out of fear, cowardice and sentiments. Its not gainsaying that the new Nigeria we want starts from the political leaders who need to lead by example on the tenets of patriotism, zero nepotism and shunning other such ills bedevilling our nation evident in corruption, cabalism, lootocracy, disobedience to the rule of law and zero empathy to the pains of the electorate.

However, we as individuals of the society needs a total reawakening and reorientation, that we need to Foster the rebuilding of broken ties of relationship among our ethnic nationalities. In the face of these present economic challenges all hands must be on deck in stirring the ship of our nation to a safe blissful haven and shore of unity and faith, peace and progress ( Nigeria motto) inspite the pain we may encounter. We need to be the first line of credibility, integrity, accountability and patriotism. The idea of supporting a looter and one who shortchanged this nation and defending him with ethnic sentiments and bias in order to shield him or attract unnecessary empathy is a whirlwind that blows no one any good. For crying out loud the rule of law must not be bent for anyone, justice must be served no matter whose ox is gored! Let our judiciary rise up to the tenets of upholding justice and live up to the cliche "hope of the common man".

For the Nigerian youth we must shun bribery, short cuts against due process, stand for the truth, lend helping hands to those we are better off, shun vandalism, terrorism, gangsterism, cultism and other ills that portray us in bad light.

Join the new Nigeria Vanguard and build alliance with young minds from the length and breadth of Nigeria whose values are those of integrity, courage, selflessness, patriotism, merit, economic empowerment, zero corruption in all it's shades and facades whose vision is SECURING A PEACEFUL, UNITED, PROGRESSIVE, CORRUPTION-FREE NIGERIA FOR NOW AND POSTERITY.

Sorry bro but you have no nation. The British invented organisation called Nigeria is not your nation, neither is it mine. Nigeria is the enforced Union of people, some of which are clamouring for their freedom which the British criminal called Lugard stole in 1914. If you want a country, support that a referendum be held and the various ethnic nationalities who vote to remain in Nigeria, they are your brothers and your nation. You cannot be seeking unity where none exists. You don't get a nation through 'unity by force'. All you get through this process is pain, suffering, regression and hypocrisy

We are not seeking for a united Nigeria by force but mutual tolerance and equity!

Really? No wonder Nigeria came down to the East to kill 3 million people from 1967-70.

An Error bro. Not by force at all! We all want a restructured yet united Nigeria like what we see in the USA!

Together we can! As we try to build bridges across both northern and southern region. Nigeria with a new leadership anchored on patriotism and selflessness will be the home of all blacks in the world!

Stop kidding your self bro. The only error here was the one Lugard made by bringing us together in 1914 and basterdising us with the name of a stupid River. People like you have been shouting 'Nigeria unity' for over a hundred years, do you see any unity? When will you get tired? Not every partnership, Union and marriage is meant to last forever. There comes a tme when even the most optimistic fool has cut his losses and call a spade a spade.

Nigeria is an enforced union and an instrument of oppression and we Igbos want to return as we were before Lord Lugard appeared from nowhere to force us into it.

Leave that brat alone because he doesn't deserve your reply as your message is not for secessionist like him.
He is probably one of those that cheer the looters of our treasury.
Their unpatriotic disposition is pathetic and understandably political, political in the sense that their hero lost out in an election they were optimistic to win with their slogan "GEJ till 2019", then suddenly after they switched over to secession agenda.
My advice for them is that secession does not come by online attacks nor opposition to other patriots,it comes by mutual agreement through a process.
