21st Century Nigeria Of Our Dream by IDERAWOLE(m): 4:41pm On Feb 06, 2007 |
The project NIGERIA might have been a DREAM in somebody's mind before the 1914 amalgamation adventure, but it can be a reality. The issue to clarify is what is the DREAM itself; now that may be difficult to figure out as the personae to ask are no longer here with us, but that in itself shouldn't stop our generation from creating the nation of our own dream. This article stems from many outburst of anger and frustrations that one comes across daily on the pages of our national dailies, talk show on TV, RADIO, and even one-on-one encounters. It is as if this thing called NIGERIA should just vamouse into the thin air, or God in HIS infinite mercies should just scrap the whole thing like one of these govt parastals. It can WORK if we understand how, one of the terrible things that bedevil our nation is the uninformed adventure at reading SCIENCE based subjects in our institutions at the expense of the Art subjects. History is one such subjects that has experienced great fatality in the last one or two decades in the mad rush for SCIENTIFIC advancement in our nation. But the consequence of this is the repetition of HISTORY of events that has taken place in other nations from which we would have learnt some good lessons. Nations like SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, SOUTH-KOREA, BRAZIL, CHINA etc. have shown that nations can built with VISIONARY men and women, who has imbibed the principles of LEADERSHIP, which means the ability to INFLUENCE positively, by rising up to the occasion where there is a need among the populace, deploying their God-given talents with assistance of the same people that they have been able to rally-round the VISION that they believed will be to the advancement of the same society. Troubles bedeviling us are so enormous that we find it so discouraging to even give a new drive a trial. In the last couple of years, there has been so much of acrimonies, that so many hands are up on the nation, but there is a way out. There is a need for a paradigm shift in our mind-set, we need start learning that Leadership is about service, no more no less. When we begin with these, things will begin ti look up for us all. Its a long way to go, but the chinese knows it and its showing in their nation that a journey of a thousand miles begin with a step. |
