When Nigeria was crying for change, people were too apathetic to listen, but now, ‘Change’ is crying for Nigeria and Nigeria must wake to embrace it!
I read with mixed feelings the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhamadu Sanusi’s article on Why Nigeria is underdeveloped. I feel very happy that at least there are some highly placed individuals like the Emir who have time for and feel concerned about the Nigerian situation; people who know where our shoes pinch and who also know what we can do to redress the situation.
As much as I am happy about the Emir’s piece, I feel worried that our Lawmakers may not even see the article due to the exigency of their duty talk less of passing the message to the President.
I want to agree with the Emir that we have all it takes to develop Nigeria and make her self-reliant. China did not get to her present position in a day. She must have started by trials and errors. Let Nigeria too start this way for change.
I do not believe in failure. There is nothing like failure but there is something like mistake and we can always learn by our mistakes. It is when one does not try at all that one fails but if at the first attempt one fails, one must try again Cc seun
