HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA!!!

Happy Independence to Nigeria. I know many people will be wondering, why the need to celebrate but I want to simply remind us this. That Nigeria is still called Nigeria today is a celebration and Nigeria itself is only the name of a place that occupy Nigerians, as well as the people who dwell in it. We all know that a child grows up gradually by facing both positive & negative effects of challenges but his attitude towards these challenges will define who he will later become. I believe that's why we have also experienced both bad & good governances, but the only difference between our negative & positive experiences from these previous governments is the attitude ascribed to those experiences. Are Nigerians willing to move Nigeria forward or accept defeat as a failing country? No I believe. So, therefore Nigerians should not tell Nigeria to make progress by itself but we Nigerians need to make the progress & it starts with you, I mean you... It is the act of unity & collaboration among the future of Nigeria that can take Nigeria up to a greater nation, because Nigeria is already great today but it can only be greater tomorrow & tomorrow is the future that those that are working towards building the future, must begin the implementation today. And, because we want to move forward doesn't mean that we should neglect or not look backward to pick some lessons from our good & bad experiences in the past; since we will be needing them to foster ahead in the modernization & manifestation of a greater future for our dear nation. I hereby call on those that are working towards the future of Nigeria to work in collaboration & take this great nation to a greater future that we all want; but we can only achieve this, if we try. Remember, a great team make the dream work and a divided house can never stand; so we must work together in unity with great attitude. I am willing to work with anyone that has any strategic plan to fulfill this purpose without causing any havoc or pain to anyone. God bless Nigeria & God bless Nigerians. Happy 52 celebration!!!

Some key words that I picked out from 2012 Democratic National Convention spoken by President Barack Obama.

"Hope in the face of difficulties and uncertainty... Our hope is been tested... We have been there, we've tried that and we're not moving backward, we are moving forward, America... We don't think the government can solve all of our problems and we don't think the government is the source of our problems. No one is to be blamed for our problems... Our destinies are bound together... America, is not about what can be done for me but what can be done by us... And He rounded up his speech with this statement of truth and hope; "America, I never said this journey will be easy and I won't promise that now. Yes, our path is harder but at least to a better place. Yes, our road is longer but we travel it together. We don't turn back, we leave no one behind, we pull each other up, we draw strength from our victories and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on the distance arising, knowing that confidence is with us and we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest Nation on earth. Thank you, God bless you and God bless this United state."~ President Barack Obama (2012 Democratic National Convention)

Failure is minor but lesson learnt is major...

I came across a tweet that gave me an insight into a topic that I've been pondering on how to compose the message and I feel I should share it while I also elaborate more of it. "If you have the willingness to learn, learn the lessons from your failure. Forget the details & try again the next time more intelligently."~ @sam_adeyemi. If you know a little bit about planting seeds, then you will understand that a seed sown into the ground must first be dead & decay before it can grow out to produce any fruit. And these goes to tell us that we sometimes face challenges that are meant to make us learn some lessons that would take us to that greater height we've always envisioned. We only just need to have great attitude towards learning from these challenges and using those lessons to sharpen our paths to greatness, with great commitment. Diligence sure pays off more than just wishing!!!
