NIGERIA @ 53 ( A NEW REVOLUTION……,WE MUST NOT SURRENDER)
‘’There is power
in hope, there is power in dreams, there is power in conviction’’; avers
Barrack Hussein Obama. Beneath all the differences in tribe, language, region,
race, faith and religion, we are one people, one nation; we must make a new
beginning and redefine our nation.
It’s
a vision worth struggling for, even as we keep our hope alive, as a testament
to the struggles of those who has gone before, as a legacy to generations who
will come later, as a tribute to the patience and endurance of our forefathers,
as an assurance that their prayers are being answered, that their works has not
been in vain, and that hope is eternal.
We
must join hands, interest and ideas to make a standing decision; shall we find
peace unity and progress; shall we find freedom and independence, even after so
many years of claimed independence or do we still want to continue suffering
division and impotence?.
We
may have had so much misguided leadership, more abandonment and neglect, a
false sense of independence, when we as a nation cannot boast of
inter-dependency amongst ourselves. But above all odds, we must make a
commitment to new priorities that insures that hope will be kept alive.
We
need a common ground and unity in our nation, let’s work together for peace and
unity in our nation; a nation where religious crisis thrive- we need a common
ground and unity. A nation where bribery and corruption thrive- we need a
common ground and unity. A nation where students struggle to gain a paper
degree, rather than study to develop their potentials- we need a common ground
and unity. A nation where a starved graduate goes in search of a job which does
not exist - we need a common ground and unity. A nation where at the hospital
admitting room, somebody is dying, because of lack of good medical care, while
some privileged few are being flown abroad for proper medical treatment- we
need a common ground and unity.
Let’s
stand today and be committed to a new direction; for almost 50 years, we’ve
been led by those who view social good coming from private interest, who view
public life as a means of increasing private wealth, they sacrifice the common
good of the masses to satisfy the private interests and wealth of a few.
Let’s form and believe in a government that’s
a tool of our democracy in service to the public, not an instrument of
aristocracy, in search of private wealth. We must emerge into a new era with a
new direction; leadership must meet the present challenges of this day. What is
the present challenge of this day? It is to end economic violence and misguided
leadership. What change will we make? We must change direction; leadership must
face the moral challenges of our day.
And then, to our youths; you are the power,
strength and future of our nation, hold your head high, we can win, let’s say
no to drugs, violence, prostitution, kidnapping, bribery and corruption. We can
win; wherever you are today, I challenge you to hope and dream. Don’t submerge
your dreams, Robert Schuler posits,’’ don’t kill your dreams, execute it’’,
never stop dreaming; don’t stop with the way things are, dream of things as
they ought to be, dream even when you face pain, for love, hope and faith will
help you rise above the pains. Dream of peace because war and violence is
unreasonable, keep dreaming young Nigerians.
Dream
of teachers who teach for life and not for a living, dream of doctors who are
concerned about public health than private wealth, dream of lawyers concerned about justice than being a
judge, dream of preachers who are more concerned about the pulpit and prophecy than profiting.
Nigeria!!
we must never surrender to poverty, malnutrition, violence, unemployment,
bribery and corruption when we have all it takes to make us a great nation. We
can feed the hungry, and cloth the naked, we must never surrender, we must go
forward, we must never surrender to illiteracy, we must never surrender to
inequality, don’t surrender my friends. Just hope and dream ; though we cannot
buy bread cheaper, we cannot buy meat cheaper, we cannot buy cloths cheaper, we
cannot buy milk cheaper, we cannot even get water cheaper, we deserve to be
paid well for the jobs that we do, but we must not surrender. You may say, Eze
Victor Obinna don’t understand our situation, but I do, we all do, we are all
in this together, even our leaders do, our bankers, doctors, civil servants and
all others in this nation do, but we must not surrender; the solution is to hope
and dream.
HOPE
in the face of difficulty and uncertainty, let’s believe in things not seen,
let’s believe in better days ahead, let’s believe we can provide job for the jobless, home for the homeless, cloths for
the naked, food for the hungered and reclaim our young people in cities across
Africa. I believe we can reclaim our people from violence, we can make the right
choices and meet the challenges that we face.
My
brothers and friends in the north, south, east and west, in spite of the
difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I have a dream, it’s a dream
shared by our heroes of freedom. I have a dream that one day my children will
live in a nation where they will not be judged based on religion, class,
language, region or race but by the content of their character.
I have a dream that one day; our nation will be
transformed into an oasis of unity and justice; I have a dream that one day,
the sons and daughters of Mohammed, Ibrahim, Musa, and Kayode will be able to
sit down together at a table of brotherhood with the sons and daughters of
Chukwu, Okafor, Okon, Tamuno and Okorie.
I have a
dream that one day, every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain
shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain and the crooked places
will be made straight and the glory of God shall be revealed and all ethnic
groups in this nation shall see it together.
This is our hope, with faith we will be able to come
out of this mountain of despair, with faith we will be able to transform the
discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
Nigeria!!
If you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same urgency that I do,
if you feel the same passion that I do, if you dream the same dream and feel
the same hopefulness that I do- then I have no doubt that all across the
country, from the north to the south, from the west to the east, the people
will rise up and embrace their dream and hope of a better nation. WITH THIS
STRONG AFRICAN SPRIRT, LET’S STAND UP TO A NEW REVOLUTION.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST SUCCEEED
• You can accomplish a lot in life. Just get your eyes
on what you want. Don't think of the reason you can't have something. Remember
what Warren Buffett said. Speaking to a group of students, the billionaire made
this statement about the potential to succeed in life,
• “Everybody here has the ability absolutely to do
anything I do and much beyond. Some of you will, and some of you won’t. For the
ones who won’t, it will be because you get in your own way, not because the
world doesn’t allow you. As long
as you are moving in the direction of your goals you are a success in my mind.
If you are moving in the right direction you will do well in life’’
• Success
doesn’t just come to where you are, but from the way you think; both failure
and success are the offspring of our thoughts, when you visualize defeat,
you’ll be defeated but when you visualize success, you’ll succeed because what
you see is what you’ll get. If you’d like to succeed, but think you can’t, you
may not succeed, life’s success don’t always go to the strong, best or fastest
man, but the man who thinks he can. Thomas A. Edison once said that ‘’many of
life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success
when they gave up
• Listen, your greatest success will be when you learn
how to turn your pains to gains, shame to fame, zeros to hero, scars to stars,
adversities to advantages, attitudes to fortitude, obstacles to miracles,
disappointments to appointments, mourning to money, stumbling blocks to
stepping stones.
• What is
life if one could live without leaving his foot print in the sand of time? I
have come to understand that the tragedy of life is not that one has failed but
he nearly succeeds. I call it near success syndrome. The truth is that if you’ve
not find what you can die for; know that you’re not worthy to live. That’s a
burning desire to win otherwise known as passion.
• The day you
were born, a seed was planted into the planet earth and every seen has the
potentiality of growing into a big tree. It’s a tragedy for a tree to die
without expressing its full potentials. Everyone has a great impact that can
write his/her name in gold.
• Most people
want the government to provide virtually everything for them, the blame the
nation’s economy for their failures, but listen, you don’t need Nigeria to
succeed, but Nigeria needs you. The reasons why you must succeed are;
• You are created by the Best (GOD) to be the best and
for the best.
• You have more energy that challenges will be unable
to consume.
• The ions in your body can conduct electricity.
• Your brain cells produce about 25 watts of current.
• There’s no bank on earth that’s as rich as your
mind.
• No computer can be compared to your weakest brain
cell.
• The glucose in you is enough to feed a nation.
• The potassium and calcium in your blood peripheral
can cause an explosion
• You’re more
powerful than you think you are!!!
7 THINGS TO EXPECT FROM A MAN BEFORE MARRIAGE
Marriage is an institution you shouldn't rush into for admission, a
covenant that was meant to last for a lifetime and a commitment of- for
better, for worse. It has
fulfilled the lives of many and has also ruined that of many. Before saying a
yes filled with joy, happiness and celebration to any man offering you an
engagement ring or wedding ring, there are several things to look out from this
man, otherwise, you may end up with him giving you another marriage ring called
suffering.
Things to look out from your
man before saying yes are;
GOD FEARING MAN;
Marriage is an institution ordained by God, as a union void of this
great ordination is headed for calamity. This is the first and most important
thing to ascertain before saying yes to any man, ascertain if he is a God
fearing man. Listen, 70% of men I've come across wants a God fearing woman,
even when they themselves are
wolves amongst sheep. You too should look out for God fearing men.
Never say yes
to a man whom you question his submission to the Supreme Being called God. You must learn to place God
above the so called love you have for him. It doesn't matter if you are the only one on God's side,
what matter is; are
you both on God's side? Know that a God fearing man who loves you will
always live to love and cherish you, since God the bible say is love.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL;
Although love is not all that matters to say yes to marrying any
man, but it is still an important factor and determinant of any union. Love
many say conquers all,
but never allow your love for any man or his love for you to affect your
reasoning. If he proposes to you because of your beauty....run, because that
beauty may fade away someday and this may be a sign of lust or infatuation. If it’s because of your natural
shape and curves, your wealth or inheritance, run my dear...because I remember
my aged grandmother once had all those characteristics, but they are almost all
gone and nobody will
like to visit her now if she should be a city, or ask her out for a date.
Marry a man that loves you for whom you are rather than what you
are or have. Many men wishes to marry professional ladies who are on top of
their careers, there's nothing wrong with this, but some will never consider
her as a person, run from this kind of men, they are the lazy and weak type.
GENERATIONAL THINKERS
Marriage is a life time commitment. To fulfill your purpose in life, you must
also have a partner that captures your vision and motivates you to fulfill it.
Don't just marry him because you love him or because he is rich, ask yourself
if he's the type that has great ideas, plans and vision that will form a
perfect future for both of you. Loving him alone will not leave a lasting
legacy for your unborn children, his money may not also out live him, but it will
only take a man with vision and purpose for living to make a generation and
future filled with great accomplishment. Look out for a man with vision, a
generational thinker, who plans for the future.
YOU DESERVE HIS RESPECT
A man should respect you before he is given the chance to love you,
and a man who doesn't respect you doesn’t deserve your friendship, not to talk of being
your husband.
A husband opening the car door for his wife is not because she is
incapable of doing so, but because he is symbolically placing his masculine
strength at her service, as a reminder of their marriage vows. If he doesn't
respect and treat you like a woman during courtship, he will not do so after
marriage.
But respect isn't one sided, women must also learn to respect the
men folks, irrespective of his statue, wealth or personality, as this is a
symbol of their masculinity endowed to them by providence, only then will you
get the respect you deserve.
IS HE YOUR FRIEND
I tagged one of my articles....MARRY YOUR FRIEND. Sometimes we
claim we are in love with someone, but find it difficult to confide in him in
matters concerning us or the relationship, so as not to lose him. If you cannot
confide on your partner, your relationship is headed for destruction, if it
eventually leads to marriage, both of you will live in different world
of uncertainty.
DOES HE LISTEN TO YOU?
Research has proven that men are attracted by what they see and
women by what they hear. But a husband material though attracted and satisfied
by what he sees in his woman must
also learn to give a listening ear when she talks. Yes, the female folks are
attracted by what they hear, but they are more relaxed with a man who listens
while they talk, narrate and gist rather than men who shut them up, giving them little
or no time to express their own
feelings.
Ladies must learn to look out for men who give them their undivided
attention and time, who listens to them and cares about their worries.
FINANCIAL FREEDOM;
One of my friends once said, ‘‘every guy wants to marry a beautiful girl, but not
every guy can maintain her beauty''...... Before you say a YES to any man, you
must consider if he's financially independent, can he take care of you more
than you took care of yourself as a spinster? What is he bringing into the
relationship, it mustn't just be love. If he's still living in his family
house, run my dear. If he still relies on his family for his daily needs, run.
Don't get it twisted, you may wonder why I placed the issue of
finance almost last, its because the bank statement of any man is not his true
worth. Don't say yes to a man because he is rich, don't say no because you think
he's poor, but look out for men that are financially free and independent, with financial intelligence,
hardworking, possesses great ideas for success, excellence and in business and
can take care of you and your children if you should marry him, as well as
other needs.
Wealth is something that comes to the strong and smartest people,
with your ideas synchronized in his; you both can build
tremendous wealth together. During courtship, discipline him to save and invest, if he can't, run for
your own good, because
any man who
cannot save and invest, may not build much wealth.
Lastly, never look out for the expectations of others when choosing
Mr. Right, but look out for your own expectations. You are the one who's going
to wear the shoe, purchase your size and not that of your friends or family
members. You may receive their advice, but go for that which is best for you.
Live your life,
love you life and heal our world with love....one love from Eze Victor Obinna.
