Together We Must Stand.
Chukwuemeka from Ihiala, Nasir from Zungeru, Ehi
from Benin, Yemisi from Ekiti and Domkat from Langtang. It really doesn't
matter where you were born or what your religious affiliation is. We have
something in common; first and foremost we are Nigerians.
In the interest of our nation and unity, we must
bury our differences and come together as one to lift our nation.
This is no longer about me or you but our children,
a lot is wrong in our land and we are in this together. Either we like it or
not there is hunger in the land and no one is excluded from the big cities to
the villages.
Leave aside your ethnicities, religions and all
sorts of barriers. A divided house can't stand against the winds and strong
winds are blowing across the land in various shades as massive corruption, lack
of security, no basic education, clamour for secession, health care in
shambles, capital crimes with daily loss of lives, basic amenities like water,
food, and good roads are now a luxury, electricity is a dream for an average
man.
We can't afford to be divided either at local or
national level. A winning house is that unified house.
We are one of the most religious nations on this
planet yet one of the most corrupt ones. We are among the richest and yet one
of the poorest nation on this planet. We are one of the largest producers of
crude oil and still a major importer of kerosene, diesel, and petrol with the
scarcity of these in the land.
There is a lot wrong with our nation, we are not
only blessed with rich natural resources but some of the most educated and
well-read people on earth. Yet we manage to find ourselves in this situation
where managing our vast resources has been a curse rather than a blessing.
It's no longer news that we lack good leadership
and our leaders irrespective of what part of the nation they come from, they
have failed us over and over again.
If we refuse to stand up against these rulers
parading as leaders now then our children won't forgive us. Let's stop
complaining across the fence and make effort in making a contribution to our
own development.
We can't do this through the barrel of guns nor
grenades - the only people that profit from any war is the ammunition dealers
and the losers are me and you killing our cousins in the name of dividing our
mother land. We lost millions of innocent citizens during the Biafra war!
Challenge them at the polls and vote massively
against them. Your only weapon is your voter’s card - use it wisely.
Together we can show them the way out. A nation
with London based president is going astray.
Be it at the local, state or national government -
an actual change is imminent and unavoidable.
Long live Nigerians from Jos to Onitsha, from
Ibadan to Damaturu.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
