Hello beautiful people!
It is the 30th of September (as I write this post) and while having my evening read of Chude Jideonwo's 'Are We The Turning Point Generation?' I realise its Nigeria's 54th Independence Day tomorrow. At this point my mind wanders into a comparison of two lands in their quest for prosperity at all social levels.
On one hand, most people would know the story of the 'Wizard of Oz' and like most fables it carries a real-life scenario into fantasy. On the other hand, Nigeria, though a land full of opportunities, suffers plagues of violence, manipulations and corruption just like the Emerald City of Oz. All these can also be attributed to the antagonist of the Oz story; the Wicked Witch of the West.
But back to real life, at what point would Nigeria truly transform and take its place in the world? No one can certainly say but we must do what we can to aid the transformation we seek. I hope I'm not sounding like a broken record but I'd close with a saying from an apostle of change in Nigeria; Chude Jideonwo...
"We should not let what should be stop us from achieving what can be"
Happy Independence Day Nigeria!!
