Even with our state of lack of vision for the past decades, becoming the greatest black nation on earth or the giant of Africa still looks within reach. To our leadership Africa means bad roads, poor education, poor health infrastructure etc; such lowered expectation has encouraged mediocrity in leadership. But a vision such as BECOMING THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH is tasking and challenging enough to inspire discipline, focus and hardwork amongst our leadership, our followership and children of the next generation.
And this vision now gives our political parties direction and the job of drawing a plan and intellectualizing Nigerians on how they intend to achieve this vision. How they intend to utilize the oil in the south-south, the food basins in the middlebelt, oil palm in the east, groundnut pyramids in the north, the gold, timber, ire ore and mineral resources scattered all over the country and most importantly the army of over 150 million hardworking Nigerians to become the Greatest Nation on earth.
A national Idea like this will affect how we choose our leaders and the quality of individuals that put themselves up for leadership, a national idea when imbibed will affect our educational system, courses would be prioritized and customized to produce citizens that can harness our available resources to meet set goals which are milestones to the big vision.
But the lack of a national vision or a national idea that we have come to believe in, is the reason our leaders are disconnected from their people. So we should stop lowering our expectations and ask questions our leaders questions with the mindset that we can be one of the greatest nations on earth. twitter.com/calljonas
