HOME SWEET HOME: NO PLACE LIKE HOME NO LONGER SUSTAINABLE

The feelings of Youths towards their country is different from those that grew up willing to die for the liberation of their people from Colonial domination and humiliation. Patriotism has gone out of sight. Replaced by a rush of individuals waiting for their turns to share the National Cake. Young people old enough and having their own children could not remember anytime in their lives when Nigeria had a regular supply of electricity, water, subsidized adequate education and hospitals while reaping the benefit of foreign income from the 70s Arab Oil Embargo.

However, no country can survive on foreign income by importing everything without diverse exports for long. Our Youths were brought up on new and used foreign goods paid for by a single commodity: crude Oil from the Arab Embargo windfall. Before then, foreign money and imports were selective like every country in the world. This was the reason Naira was at par with British pound and equal to one and a half U.S dollars then.

It must be repeated that the best time to serve African countries is in our youth. Africa is not a burial ground as some foreign leaders have noted. We need young viable men and ladies that can rock, endure or change hostile environments as a result of little infrastructure. The lack of adequate infrastructure makes the difference in the survival of poor people either in Africa or in the developed world in very cold and hot weather.

When we revolted against foreign culture after Independence, African cultures claim that it is difficult to forget where your Umbilical Cord is buried and you do not point to your father's land with the left finger. Unless you are driven by existential fear that can eliminate your very being. While the loved ones cannot wait for your return home; cynical people wait to exploit you as you return, out of greed. In other words, da bii mo se da!
