We have tried to find the words, but truly nothing much came forth. If not for anything at all, at least we are thankful that we are alive and OK. Today, Tuesday, October 1, 2013 is Nigeria's 53rd birthday.
From 1960 till now, how far have we come? Have there been major improvements? Have we learnt on this journey so far?
How far have we come as a country? In 53 years we still have not been able to agree on leaving together, forging ahead and achieving great things. We still suffer from suspicions, the number one thing that should be our strength, which is our diversity seems a major weight, an albatross on our necks.
A nation that is so blessed by God, with everything all other nations of other continents would kill to have. Unbelievably abundant mineral resources. Gloriously rich and fertile land mass. Our human resources is first grade, in terms of skills and sheer numbers, we even have some of the most brilliant people on the face of the Earth, in all areas of human endeavours, banking and finance, science and medicine, governance and economy, religion and the arts, fashion, lifestyle and entertainment etc.
But instead of us shaking the world as one of the top 5 nations of the universe, according to how God has ordained us to be, strife, greed, theft, violence etc seem to have become the order of the day.
