A NEW HOPE FOR THE NEW NIGERIA @ 49

I have a hope that one day, hopefully in my lifetime that the new Nigeria of our dream will materialise and become an envy of all and an earth-shattering testimony to the entire nations on the face of the earth. Mine is a hope built on faith in the most high God, the maker and ruler of the world. Acts 17:24-31 which reads “God who made the world and everything in it, since He is lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshipped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men(and of women) to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him(God) and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us ; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His(God’s) offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine nature is like gold (riches or wealth) or silver (money) or stone (graven image), something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men(and all women) every where to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the man(JESUS CHRIST) whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

- (Paul, the Apostle: paraphrased is mine).

I do not see a battered or tattered Nation but a new Nigeria. I do not see a separated or disintegrated Nation but a United State of Nigeria. A new Nigeria where equal opportunities, abounds to all, irrespective of race, tribe, tongue and culture. A nation where quality education, free and fair election, safety of life’s and properties, constant electric power circulation, good roads, and good health-care facilities are of utmost necessity and given the topmost priority. A nation where integrity of heart will be our collective watch word, where sincerity and fidelity will be the basis at which we all discharge our responbility at our various duty post and placement

Happy Independence to all citizens, all change agents and all compatriots of our beloved country Nigeria @ her Independence Day celebration.
Long live to my friends
Long live to my family
Long live to NIGERIA
