There's Hope for Nigeria

There's Hope for Nigeria


God loves Nigeria! And God willing, Nigeria will survive and emerge as a world leader one day.  And it will not be too long to happen. God willing, it will be during my lifetime.  Indeed, I will be a partaker in the benefits to follow.  


I am happy that Nigerians are now beginning to talk about issues, real and tenable issues.  Up to 5 years ago, many people got so frustrated that they felt that the injustice in Nigeria would only be addressed if through disintegration.  I am happy today that paradigm has shifted because we seem to be understanding better.  Our three tiers of Government are now respecting one another's constitutional responsibilities and at the same time are partnering together instead of working against one another.  


The good man, Late ex-President Umar Yar Adua set the ball rolling by giving us correct interpretation of what 'the rule of law' means in his actions throughout his stay in power.  Amiable President Jonathan Goodluck is an enlightened mind and is steering the course of the nation in the right direction. 






 What has bothered my mind most was the dehuminising level Niger Delta issue got to.  Some corrupt leaders were talking about Resource Control when they were busy looting the little that came to the Niger Delta region - thank God they have now been exposed and silenced.  I first stepped my feet on the soil of Niger Delta sometime in 1989 or so, Warri to be precise.  My first reaction was that of grave disappointment because I could not see any sign of development in that popular city.  I asked myself questions prominent amongst which was what if oil dries up today, won't Warri be worse than it was before oil exploration began years back?

But today, I am happy to see noticeable progress of development.  But the greatest recovery is yet to be experienced.  With the Federal Government now focusing on 'wholistic' development, let me hope that Niger Delta as a whole will soon become an enviable part of Nigeria. Justice is right here.  Nobody would have thought that Niger Delta could produce a Vice President that could metamorphosed into Presidency.  So in a miraculous way, God ensured that, without fighting, the so-called minority has access to power without the three major tribes feeling any opposition.   I pray it will be the turn of our Igbo brother who currently feels marginalised as far as Presidency is concerned to produce Nigeria's President one day.  It will happen also during my lifetime. Amen.  And there will be no need for 'Biafrian' or whatever seccessionist organisation. 

Above all, I have faith in Nigeria.  I invite you to join your own faith with mine, that Nigeria SHALL be better and we shall be all the better for it.

Good morning.
