We complain of so many problems befalling the nation, even as we celebrate the 54th years of independence today, some are saying that the nation is still in bondage, due to political unrest, corruption, terrorism, and so many other related practices. We have all forgotten the message in the "motto" of the nation - unity and faith, peace and progress.
Those FOUR great words are portraying a very great message which is not yet understood by many Nigerians, they are positioned in a way that one cannot omit, or loop over anyone of them. So many problems are befalling the nation today due to our ignorance of the message in the nation's motto. Today, we talk of terror, tomorrow we complain of corruption, and so on, but we have never for once looked into the cause or proffer solutions to the problems, all we do is criticize the government.
Well, let's remember the recent Ebola case that surfaced in Nigeria, the Federal Government(FG) immediately released funds, the Lagos State Government ( LASG) also plunged into action by creating awareness and isolation centres in collaboration with the FG. As of today, we can boldly say that there is no Ebola case in Nigeria, assuming the PDP led FG was still accusing the APC led LASG of one thing or the other that made the man find his way into Nigeria or the other way round, we may still be having Ebola cases in some states in Nigeria today, but because they were united and we had faith that we can do it, the nation was able to combat the disease.
The bottom line is if we are not united, there will be no peace, and there won't be progress. "United we stand, divided we fall".
Happy New Month and Happy Independence day Nigeria.
Proudly Nigerian.
