The increasing situation of cases
plaguing our country may have continually dimmed the ray of hope that has begun
to grow in our hearts. Children like us were
kidnapped from school and we have not been able to find them in more than a
week, the bomb blasts at Nyanya and other areas at the north east,
institutionalized corruption in high places ( #cabals) etc. Are part of the growing
matters arising. I will not blame you, if you do not even have hope again.
But
your knowledge of the above comes with a responsibility that goes beyond talk.
We all know that there are problems plaguing our nation; denial will be just self deception. However, I am hopeful for the greatness that
lies in you. Yes you! ...The youths of this nation! Sadly, many of us no longer
even believe that we are the leaders of tomorrow; because of the harsh
realities that we have come to experience. Nevertheless, Can we decide to form
a reality based on values to transform the current nature of the country? Yes
we can.
The
corruption that has obviously become a culture of the majority, based on our
own democratic system started small and spread like a wild fire; so also can we
start a revolution of character and virtue to transform this nation into a
spectacular place to be in. I beg us not to learn the wrong from our fathers
and choose not to follow their steps. If we continue to cry that our fathers have
failed us, we should not allow our children cry same...you can start
the change by becoming the change.
In
addition, I write this with severe pity and concern for the female children who
could have been my sisters that have been kidnapped and pray that God grant
them succour in the face of the present challenges. The present situation moves
me to concern and not just mere complain. The fathers claim that we have not
been responsible enough ...let us rise up and build a Nigeria that we will be
proud we are part of.
Get
your hands stained in the mixing of the mortar that makes the new Nigeria, let
your voices be heard on the streets as you mobilize like minds. Encourage those
that have lost hope by your patriotic
acts and speech...things are getting worst...and might deteriorate further if
we fold our hands, but let us join our hands together to make things work.
Moreover,
some of us complain about the fact that the system inhibits our growth to getting
a platform of reasonable influence but some have risen through the same sphere
to create an influencing atmosphere. Explore the adaptive gene that is embedded
in the DNA of every Nigerian and carve a niche of excellence for yourselves.
In
conclusion, I ask that you be the Nigeria you want to see, strive to excellent
in anything you do and continually make your input in the struggle to make Nigeria a better place.
We must breathe fresh air, we must have shoes, we must go to schools....yes we
can, if we do not loose up and stop efforts. With support for each other, for
this order (Nigerian Greatness)... together we can make Nigeria brighter.
Yours Sincerly,
Phlegvinyl
