Rebranding Nigeria by ztanleechima(m): 10:35pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
There is no force strong enough to stop people who are united, focused and determined from achieving their mission. This I learnt on the boat sailing on the Mediterranean Sea; on the boat were Nigerians, Sudanese, Eritreans and Ethiopians united in order to arrive at their destination. Understanding that it was a fragile situation, we put aside ego,superiority over one another, creeds, and tribal divisions. Despite being uncomfortable, there was an understanding that we were all going to perish if there was an act of foolishness so we respected our lives, our families,and our friends who would have cried and mourned if the sailing had turned sour. While the boat sailed through the sea, I experienced oneness with everyone seeing themselves as equals and sharing the same fate should anything go wrong. Even when the pressure and discomfort of jam packing 150 individuals into a small boat meant for far fewer started breeding out its consequences, we remained resolute, focused and endured each other's pains merely to arrive at our destination. My dear Nigerians, everyday we suffer because of perceived divisions. If all we have been through all these years of our amalgamation has taught us nothing, then perhaps we are doomed. Forgive my remark for we have to understand that despite our different ethnic background, we are humans with blood and water flowing through our veins, sharing the same pains, problems, fate, and destiny. The solution to all our problems is unity and The common enemy that must be slain is disunity and lack of focus towards our nationhood. The complaints of bad leadership and corruption will be history if we can unite towards a common goal. United we stand,Divide we fall. Every great nation is united and that's why they flourish and succeed in anything that they set their minds on. So, for us to succeed, there must be a mental revolution that we are one people with a shared destiny. The consequences of disunity don't recognize diversities. Our problems today cut across all tribal divisions leaving none of us free. From: Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Nupe, Berom, Efik, Edo, Esan, Igala, Igbera,Tiv, Ndoma e.t.c. We are paying the price for disunity and it's no longer funny. Finally, let's embrace unity, peace, and respect for each other because only from it shall we fulfill our dreams and be counted as a people that wants to achieve greatness. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
