NIGERIA AND THE WAY FORWARD- WE ALL HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY – BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

NIGERIA AND THE WAY FORWARD- WE ALL HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY

Today marks the birth of a historical celebration in the most populous black nation in the world and Africa,s biggest economy.

President Muhammed Buhari will be sworn in as The new president of The Federal Republic of Nigeria – We wish him the very best as he steps into office.

In the last six months, three major thoughts have intrigued me repeatedly with regards to the political scene and the mindsets of many of our wonderful patriots from different regions

1. The bitter and warlike rivalry between political parties and the absurd stereotypes and comments opposing parties make about one another – as if everyone that belongs to a party comes from the same mother.

Parties are just like other institutions of Life – you have the good, the bad and the ugly.

2. The will and creative ease at which we easily criticize systems, governments and leaders – forgetting that we all have a sense of ownership in the role of nation building – and many times, WE are as bad or good as our leaders – words are easy.
What are we actually doing in our everyday life to make a difference and impact peoples lives?

3. The thought and belief that NIGERIA needs a saviour – What we need is a Leader and not a Ruler- but we also need to lead and save as what we do everyday adds value to the bigger picture.

J. F Kennedy wants said “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”

I try and visit Nigeria every year, one of the things which impresses me the most is the zeal, the hunger and the passion of A PEOPLE who get on with Life, rather than sitting on the fence and blaming the system.

Each time we aspire and achieve great things in LIFE – we not only bring PRIDE to our families and friends- We bring pride to our Nation

WHAT ARE YOU AND I DOING TODAY TO MAKE TOMORROW BETTER?

As the mantle of hope unfolds into a new phase of manifestations – We not only pray for Nigeria, but we also put more effort in taking part in the colourful dance and the loud energy of change.

LONG LIVE NIGERIA

T.T.F
