THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAM

The Nigeria of our dream
 It's the Nigeria of our dream because, it's is an individual and collective contributions by Nigerians to get to our dream land. Obviously, we have not got to half our goals.
  Have you wondered why we have successful Nigerians but not a successful Nigeria? An irony right?....
   Yes we dream to have a Nigeria where there is constant power supply, good education, fair leadership & a share of humanity & many others. But, it's disheartening how the opposite we see & digest into our systems tagged "The normal way of the Nigerian life".
   We become successful in whatever we do because, we know and apply the principle of that target thereby getting a good result. For us to live successfully as Nigerians, we have to *apply the principles of National growth by the citizens*. I am not here to preach politics & bad leadership but, humanity! You know how you treat & relate to that human next to you. You know how you endeavour to keep your little environment clean. You alone know!
   The word Nigeria, was coined from *Niger area* not *Western area* and that is why we are *Nigerians not Westerians*. So unfortunate the dignity of the African Culture is dwindling. How most of us can not speak our mother tongues, can not dress in our traditional attire and prepare our local meals. Waxing cold!
  Nigeria is *one* nation containing several cultures. Not different Nigeria's! Right? So, why the *ethnicity & tribalism*?
   I can vividly recall how I recited the national anthem & pledge daily back then in high school. "I pledge to Nigeria my country to be faithful, loyal and honest... As a Nigerian am I truly being faithful, loyal and honest in my actions, self & inactions? Don't you think these little things matter? Rather than pointing fingers to some president guy. Let's think about this.
*we are proudly Nigerians*
*This is our nation, We can not run.*
*Together we can live in unity*.
*It's dependant on you & i*
