Nigeria: On Your Mandate We Shall Stand
"A tree doesn't make a forest" so goes for the timeless popular adage within various cultural settings over the years.
The case of Nigerians living in Nigeria should not be an exceptional case at all but with the realities on ground one may be tempted to conclude that Nigerians are no longer interested in standing and protecting the mandate of Nigeria any longer.
Gone are the days of promotion of virtues, integrity, self service, honesty, commitment, loyalty, mutual understanding, dedication, obedience, observance of rule of law, regional development among other things that could be regarded as our pride and national assets. But today reverse is the case because of what we are witnessing are direct opposite of what we should be witnessing in the country.
Like the great apostle Paul wrote to the people at Galatians, "O foolish Galatians, and who has bewitched you... I put it to every Nigerian that, "O foolish Nigerians and whom has bewitched us in not caring for our father's land again, in not bothering about the wellbeing of fellow Nigerians? In not seeking the goodness and progress of our fellow countrymen again?
We need to have a rethink, infact having a national service whereby we need to cross-examine ourselves and national gathering where we need to check the very part of our national garment of honour that cankerworm has started from.
For how long should we be silent about issues that really matter? For how long do we need to pretend to keep standing on the national mandate of our country but that our acts have betrayed our confession? For how long do we keep allowing marauders to plunder all the goodies in our land?
We can do better and we need to do better. We need to strategize and refocus our national lens to see beyond ourselves and put the very interests of our country at the front burner so that our country can make headway in all ramifications.
Let's retrace our steps and reinvent channels by which we would uphold the mandate of making Nigeria a better country to the delight of all Nigerians and equally make our country great among other countries of the world.
We need to step up on the ladder of standings from being a third-world/developing country into a developed country because the mandate of our country is very lucid in that we are blessed with both human and material resources.
...and for the growth and development of Nigeria, we shall keep promoting and protecting her mandate.
