When i sing the National Anthem,the verse that strike my heart with pain is "THE LABOUR OF OUR HEROS PAST,SHALL NEVER BE IN VAIN". I ask myselve if our heros are really happy in their graves or if they are actually crying.
The richest place in the world is not the oil wells at the Middle East,nor the Gold mine in South Africa,but the richest place in the world is the cemeteries, cause thats where unfulfilled dreams are buried,great writers,businessmen,great doctors,all buried in the grave and can never be accomplised.Am writing this with tears and pain in my heart cause it's like the labours of our heros is actually in vain but thats not true. Look at what's going on at the northern part of Nigeria,where talents and great men are just taken away by those who claim they are the owners of the country.
A musician sang, "All we need is one love" and that true. I still belive in the labours of our heros past,i still belive that this sleeping giant called Nigeria which is my country will wake up from such deep sleep and take a great step forward. Istill belive that there is no place like Nigeria with so much gift and Blessing. Nigeria is so fertile not only on land but even the roof of a building, grows plants. I don't belive Nigeria is a failed country,i belive that the leadership of those in power have failed the country.
The Education sector have been left to rot,and that's where the leaders of tommorow are being trained, but those in power have their own children studying in other countries that have a good educational system. They keep hosting there political parties at diffrent venues, making plans for future elections but fail to make plans for the future of the educational sector. I still belive in this great Nation,no matter what's been happening, I love my country.
The fact that they failed does not mean that they will not succeed, except if the leaders fails to learn from their mistakes.
This nation is truely a great nation, cause we are blessed with great musicians such as King Sunny Ade,2face idibia,M.I,Onyeka,Tiwa Savage etc,blessed with great sports man and woman,blessed with great writers and poets,blessed with good atmosphere natural resources and human resources,Scholars and so many that i have even lost counts.
It only takes love and unity to make a great nation,but when it's lacking the country begins to fail. The state of insecurity makes us to see the need for love and unity not HATE. We are ONE NIGERIA, the country belongs to us and no one else. A little act of love to those in the streets,to your co-workers,to your neighbour,will bering about love and unity,why can't we look out for each other. Love is a contineous excersise and not something that will be done today and tommorow will be thrown away. Love is a habit you build,an attitude you develop that leads to unity.. As we celebrate "THE LABOURS OF OUR HEROS PAST", lets develop the right attitude towards our fellow citizens and non-citizens, lets be a patriotic people and learn to treat everyone right and make this country a better place.....HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO NIGERIA, A GREAT NATION. I LOVE MY COUNTRY.
