NEW GENERATION TAKING OVER…

HER PRAYER, HOPES AND YEARNINGS FOR HER COUNTRY ON VALENTINE’S DAY…great expectation, don't let it die



I wish, hope and pray for the emergence of a great Nation, Nigeria, with visionary and creative Men of honour and integrity, as leaders and the led. I yearn for a stronger Nigeria, effectively positioned to tap her naturally endowed potentials. I imagine a just, egalitarian and prosperous nation. 

A Nation with diverse tongues founded on the solid rock of brotherhood, where freedom, justice, right to life and property, government by the consent of the governed and stars shining on the shores of the Niger, Benue and the Atlantic are dreams come true. 

I see with infinite pleasure, an exalted nation, resurrecting from the dungeon of wasted years. I look forward to the fulfillment of an ancient dream and answers to ancient questions. I envisage a holy land for future pilgrimage. These are my hopes, my dreams, and my prayers. 

As a matter of fact, I am aware that my country is in limbo, largely in the throes of grave and less human conditions of life, where still very many and menacing are such forces against the nation as miserable poverty and squalor, malnutrition and starvation, crass ignorance and illiteracy, disease, ethno-regional and religious biases, dehumanizing social facts, unhappy historical memories, congenital prejudice, travesty of justice, moral bankruptcy, clandestine accumulation and usurpation, breakdown of law and order, serious inadequacies of basic socio-economic infrastructure, high tension political instability, and gross misuse of political power. 

Because you care, I cling to my dreams, I remain fervent in my prayers, and I am hopeful that when tomorrow comes, my hopes will not be dashed. Help to make it a reality.
