2015 NIGERIA GENERAL ELECTIONS: ACTION COMPLEMENTS PRAYER

May the Lord hear our prayers. And may we use our votes to support our prayers. Okwukwe na-enweghi olu, obu ihe nwuru anwu!

FUNNY BUT TRUE

“Never try to do anything that is outside of who you are. A forced smile is a sign of what feels wrong in your heart, so recognize it when it happens. Living a lie will reduce you to one.”

NIGERIA @ 54: IS THIS THE NATION YOU DREAMT OF?

I believe the fantasy world is better than the realism.

Don’t you think that if Sir Fredrick Lord Lugard had foresaw what would have been the outcome of the undeserved marriage he called Amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates in 1914. He would not have presided over it. Today, to get divorced seems implausible

Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello and other nationalists that fought for Nigeria independence , wherever they are right now, they would agree with me that it was a mere Whimsical imagination that they laboured for.

Queen Elizabeth II hurriedly washed her hands off from Nigeria without benefits

Since that exit of the colonial masters, we have known no peace. The rich are getting richer, the poor poorer. Lots of lives are been lost carelessly. Disunity everywhere.

Take a look at the lyrics of our national anthem when we started and see if there is any fulfilment rather than opposite of what was composed

"Nigeria, We Hail Thee" (1960-1978)

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.

Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

Corruption is a major issue that adversely affects our economy

Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability. Corruption attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires whose only reason for existing is the soliciting of bribes. Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the "start-up costs" required because of corruption.

No nation is devoid of corruption. But it seems Nigeria celebrates and honours it.

Now my question goes to these our nationalists whether dead or alive who fought for this independence, ,,,IS THIS THE NATION YOU DREAMT OF?
