an essay on the topic nigeria of my dream

“Describing the Nigeria of my dreams”

Musa Temidayo

“All men dream, but not equally.” T. E. Lawrence

The topic “The Nigeria of my dreams” is one of the most talked about issues at different levels of education and at various spheres of age groups. Many of those who have contributed to these talks shared a characteristic of always telling “the Nigeria of my dreams” from their own personal individual standpoint.

With over 200 ethnic groups when Nigeria gained her independence – though I was not born then – the clips from the celebrations shown to us gave me an insight to the great expectation that heralded the event. If the likes of Sir Tafawa Balewa and Chief Obafemi Awolowo were asked then what, in the next 50 years, would be the “The Nigeria of my dreams”, I can say it would not be where we are in the present situation in this century.

But alas! Here we are and still asking ourselves “The Nigeria of my dreams”.

Nigeria today, where life expectancy is one of the lowest in the world; where the health sector is more or less comatose. Even our so-called leaders and lawmakers will travel outside the country to have their medical check ups and treatment. Whereas the fate of that child with a hole in his heart is fastened to such. The mother, probably a petty trader whose capital is not enough for a television subscription, hits a road block because she can never afford to save and send her son abroad for surgery. In her state of despair, if asked what “The Nigeria of my dreams” is, she will tell you that a free, accessible and quality healthcare system is all that clouds her thoughts.

Millions of my fellow students will graduate and have graduated without employment. It is so saddening and makes me wake up in the middle of the night weeping. If we are to ask each and every one of them, they too will tell you their own “The Nigeria of my dreams” story.

While someone decides to spend three billion naira of taxpayers’ money on feeding, some children are going to bed without hope of knowing where to find their next meal. Young Fatima has been robbed of her childhood experience because she has been turned into a bride instead of being allowed to be the child that she is. Some of these street children only have one set of tattered clothes. Meanwhile somewhere in Abuja, our lawmakers are fighting over wardrobe allowances.

Even when sleep became a luxury that some cannot afford because of the rings of poverty, they still keep on dreaming.

So if you still wish to ask me “The Nigeria of my dreams” I will tell you that it is the dream in the heart of that young girl who comes back from school every day, only to hawk for her mother so as to add more money for her to save and get her more text books.

I will tell you that “The Nigeria of my dreams” lies in the heart of that father who lost his house and belongings to fire because the fire service did not respond on time.

I will tell you it lies on the sleepy eyes of that young man who has to wake up 4 am to catch a bus going to lekki to get to the office on time, so that he would not lose the job and risk his ability to put food on the family table. He comes home so late in the night that he cannot help his kids with school assignments.

I will you that it lies in the tears of the old woman selling by the road side, who is so unlucky that anti-street trading officials came to seize her wares because she cannot afford a shop.

I will tell you that it lies on the sweat of the school gateman who earns a small salary as we walk by everyday without saying hello or getting him a chilled coke.

I will tell you that it lies in regrets of students that had to write university admission and matriculation tests four times because there is a limited capacity for enrolment that each public university can admit.

I will tell you that it lies in the pain of those who kept praying for a Nigeria that is free from all forms of terrorism. A Nigeria where the Muslims can go to mosque and the Christians can go to church without having fear of being blown to smithereens.

The Nigeria of my dreams is to live in a new Nigeria where everybody’s dreams can be achieved.

‘NIGERIA OF MY DREAMS’ BY OCHE CELESTINE ONJEWU

' src=

I dream of a land of tranquillity as our founding fathers did beget, Where I shall salute the national flag with zero regret, Where the green part of the flag actually means agriculture, Not some desolated fields where farmers lay dead as food for vulture.

I dream of a country that I shall call home, Where I am welcomed in every part of this dome, A land where I can work anywhere I am residing, Where value addition is better than certificate of origin,

A country where honesty makes sense and integrity holds water, Where elites enter politics because they have something to offer, Where an Igbo man will in sincerity rule Bornu state as he swore, And we shall hear the drums of war no more.

I dream of a country where ‘leaders of tomorrow’ is no longer just some song Making me feel that my teachers all this while were wrong, A country where the young are given due shots at leadership, And are not stuck in an endless loop of recycling politics.

I dream of a country where a child is accounted for And even before birth is cared for. I dream that Religiosity died on the altar of spirituality, Where federal character was sacrificed on the cross of meritocracy.

I dream of a Nigeria with love as its core, Where education is loved and catered for, Without any strikes and hate from the professor.

I dream of a nation where hunger is no longer on, Where the gap between rich and poor is closed-up on, Where due process everywhere is followed to the latter, So that, be you rich or poor, ‘first come, first served’ is our new character.

The Nigeria Of My Dreams By Chido Onumah

an essay on the topic nigeria of my dream

Not too long ago, a young man called me to arrange a meeting. He had a project he wanted to share with me. I listened to him talk passionately about his project titled “My Dream Nigeria”. He was planning to write a book of one million pages and he wanted me to contribute a 500-word essay on “My Dream Nigeria”. His grand idea was that if he could find one million Nigerians to dream about a united and prosperous Nigeria, and live their dreams, then perhaps there is a chance that our nation could begin the long and arduous journey of national rebirth. I was impressed for a number of reasons.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('content1'); });

In the weeks since the April 2011 elections, I have had the difficult task of relating with a lot of young Nigerians who passionately believe that nothing can be done to make Nigeria work. I have found myself “defending” Nigeria at great discomfort. For these young, idealistic, and I must add, patriotic Nigerians, the solution to all our problems lies in carving up Nigeria into several countries.

I have been wondering how we got here. As a youth in the 80s, my comrades and I in the students’ movement believed we had a duty to enthrone an egalitarian and humane society. Whether it was against the school authorities or the different military regimes, we never wavered in our quest. We made sacrifices that threatened not only our future but our lives. We were buoyed by the laudable efforts and rich tradition of those before us and those before them.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('content2'); });

I have been told not to blame the current generation; that Nigerian youth have never had it so bad; that when my generation marched against military dictatorship, we went to school for free, we had three square meals in school, and many of us had jobs when we graduated. I empathize with our youth. Their feeling of frustration and alienation is justified. They have been duped and betrayed, not only by the Nigerian State, but by an opportunistic generation.

It is enough to be cynical about Nigeria when a lot of those who some years back were in the forefront in the struggle for a better Nigeria, for a society of social justice and the rule of law have given up the struggle. For them, democracy has become an end in itself! I can understand, therefore, why our youth have given up hope. Add to this feeling of hopelessness the excruciating material conditions in the country. Everywhere they turn, there are roadblocks, literally, that prevent them from living their dreams and fulfilling their potentials. After spending years acquiring a degree, for those privileged to get higher education, our youth are made to roam the streets endlessly in search of not existent jobs. It is difficult to dream under such harsh conditions.

But as a product of the progressive movement of the 80s, I dare to dream. I dream of a Nigeria where our lawmakers will make laws in the best interest of the public. I dream of a Nigeria where our best and brightest will not spend their most productive years building other countries; a Nigeria where the police will indeed be your friend; a Nigeria where you go to court for justice not thinking there is a malevolent judge somewhere willing to pervert justice for a little fee. I dream of a Nigeria where the value of citizens is not in the amount of money they have or number of cars and houses they posses, but their integrity and contribution to society.

There is a video (http://www.gbooza.com/forum/topics/jungle-justice-nigerian-boy-bu#axzz1R2Qptiml) that has gone viral in the last few weeks. It shows a young Nigerian who was beaten to death and burnt alive in broad daylight by his contemporaries, with onlookers clapping and jeering, allegedly for stealing  a piece of jewelry.  I dream of a Nigeria where human life is worth something, where human rights are respected, where good governance, right to life, security, and environmental safety are the norm rather than the exception. I dream of a Nigeria where our graduate will be worthy of their degrees, not recipients of “sexually transmitted degrees”, in the words of Okey Ndibe. I dream of a country that will be a global contender, a country where our God-given resources will be a blessing and not a curse.

Let’s go back to basics. President Goodluck Jonathan has talked about a transformation agenda. Recently, during the retreat for new ministers and senior government officials, he threatened that he and the vice-president would not protect any minster whose integrity is called to question. Mr. President boasts as one of his achievements the enthronement of a freedom of information regime, yet two months after he was sworn in, and amidst deafening calls by civil society groups, he has yet to declare his assets. Talk about transformation by example!

Four years ago, after much pressure, then vice-president Goodluck Jonathan put out some figures as his net worth. Since then, he has done no other job apart from being vice-president, acting president, and president. How difficult can it possibly be to add what he has earned in this period to his asset declaration of 2007?

I have always been fascinated by Chinua Achebe’s position that “the trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership”. Achebe was again at his erudite best when he wrote in the New York Times shortly before the April elections that “there has to be the development of a new patriotic consciousness, not one simply based on the well-worn notions of the ‘Unity of Nigeria’ or ‘Faith in Nigeria’ (and I would add ‘we are not going to condone corruption’) often touted by our corrupt leaders; but one based on an awareness of the responsibility of leaders to the led”.

I truly believe that we can redeem Nigeria. There is nothing we are going through as a nation that great nations did not go through. The only difference is that while they worked to make progress we have resigned ourselves to fate. But no nation in human history has developed without vision and sacrifice or on empty talk.

Seth Oyinloye, this piece is dedicated to you and the millions of young Nigerians who are justifiably angry, but who dare to dream of a New Nigeria. I believe it is possible.

ARISE O' COMPATRIOTS

Victor Fawole

Jogging down the memory lane, I could remember how full of fun, events, and experiences my childhood days were. I had to learn many things, many times, ranging from simple to complex. Some experiences were gotten unconsciously without any fixed teacher. Some others were taught, either in the classroom, church, or at home. There were lots of experiences that were routine in nature, while there were some others that I was compelled to garner. One usual example starts by observing family morning devotions, to brushing my teeth, to taking my bath, to dressing for school, to eating my breakfast, to going to school, and it goes on like that. One special routine takes place on our school’s assembly ground every 7:45am on weekdays. After singing and dancing to some entertaining and soul-lifting songs led by angelic-voiced seniors, the teacher on duty (for each week) would lead us in prayers, and then we would stand still to sing the national anthem, fac-ing the national flag that always danced in response to the direction of the cool morning breeze. Our teachers would always instruct us never to dance or move our legs while singing the national anthem, as we were meant to stand at attention. They told us to always sing the anthem with passion. Then, we thought passion meant seriousness, so, we used to frown our faces while singing. I usually asked my friends about why we must sing the national anthem every blessed morning (as I had not gotten enough audacity to ask my class teacher such question), but it is unfortunate that none of them could give me the reason. One day, I asked my elder brother (who was then in secondary school), and he told me, “Victor, we are Nigerians, and we must obey the government, because they told us to always sing the national anthem.” I tried to ask further questions like: “Who is that government?” “When did government give that command?” “Who taught government the song?” “How did government teach our teachers?” and so on, but I became speechlessly but inexplicably mute. Over a decade later, I began to have a clearer view of the national anthem. Technological advancements brought the internet. I made researches on the national anthem. I got many facts, and I was becoming a better thinker. Those things I learnt led me to thoughtful meditations. Sometimes, I would sleep with the thoughts of the national anthem in my mind. All these, sometimes, lead to dreams. A particular dream I will never forget came during my sleep in the early hours of Wednesday, February 20, 2013. I saw myself explaining the meaning of each word in the national anthem to some group of people, assumedly a set of students. After my final exams in Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, I began to make line-by-line analyses of the national anthem. I posted each of the analyses I made on my blog, Facebook, Twitter, and I also sent them to my friends on Whatsapp messenger. I got many reactions, both good and bad. Some people encouraged me, some praised me, some appreciated me, some argued against some of my points, some criticized me, and some said I was jobless, but I was never discouraged by anybody! Many people told me to put my analyses together and publish a book. I saw that advice-cum-suggestion as a challenge I thought I wasn’t having the capability to achieve. I saw it as an unachievable target I wasn’t prepared for. Coincidentally, I again saw a replica of the dream I had in 2013, this time in 2015 (February 9). I saw myself addressing a set of Nigerian youths, explaining each line of the national anthem. Then I saw the dream becoming a reality. I dared to dream, and I dared to live the dream. I got the confidence, and with God’s backing, supported by people’s prayers, I succeeded! This book, Arise O’ Compatriots, is not only a dream-turned-reality, but also a message. The messages that lie therein, if fully decoded, are powerful and inspiring. I have carefully outlined and analyzed my points. I have also meticulously addressed some issues that will help throw more light on my line of argument. I also made use of some quotes by different people in almost all walks of life. I believe no man is an island of know-ledge. More so, by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established (2Corinthians 13:1, Holy Bible – NKJV). You will enjoy every bit of the book. Therefore, I enjoin every Nigerian, in all strata, no matter his/her status, should lay his/her hand on a copy of this book, read it carefully, meditate on it, and live by it. My greatest joy would be passing this message across to as many people as are in your reach. Get many copies and pass them on. Give them as gifts. I want every 21st century Nigerian to lay his hand on this. God bless! FAWOLE Victor Olugbenga Hotline: +2348131048604 Email: [email protected] Blog: www.fawoleasegun.wordpress.com

an essay on the topic nigeria of my dream

Juliet Binitie

"Nations are not built by Angels or spirits; but by the deliberate efforts of the citizens who love their land" Juliet Binitie I realized that many of us do not have an understanding that Transformation of a nation is a journey, and not an event which is not automated, but nation building is a deliberate efforts of the citizens of the Nation. Nigeria has been going through a roller-coaster of a series of events from her independence and has not shown great Leadership in Africa as she should. She has made some strides and need to do much more than she has done. This write up is not academic; but more like a snapshot to show that the journey to transformation is within our reach. Our national anthem espouses these values that we need to become a better cohesive nation to build the nation of our dreams. The Transformation series is being developed further into an academic book and to give Nigeria a framework to understand that transformation is possible, but will require rigorous, deliberate work by her Leadership and citizens. We are low on the Patriotic index and we must do better as a people to love our land. Therefore, I took the Nigeria national anthem and pledge to show us that we can make transformation happen. This will require understanding that they are areas in our society that we must begin to work on as we journey along. I repeat, this is not an academic standard writing. It is simply a write up of some of the ideas I have gathered and I believe I should develop further. I look forward to your thoughts. I deliberately did not add references; because I am still developing it. However, books like Good to Great by Jim Collins; Buy the Future by Mensa Otabil; Seven Mountain Prophecy by John Enlow and From Third World to First by Lee Kuan Yew has provided me an inroad to my thoughts. Others thoughts came from years of research of other nations; especially England and how she became the nation she is today. I am an Oakseed Executive Leadership graduate from the Institute for National Transformation and now a faculty member of the Institute which has helped me find my bearing in understanding Transformation and Nation building. Your thoughts and ideas are welcome. God bless you.

When the issue of development becomes a topic of discussion two facts come to bear; first is how the individuals within the underdeveloped nation or developing (as many prefer to call it) quickly blames the government for where they are on the struggle to attain development;. Secondly, is how quick most of the underdeveloped nations prefer to call themselves developing nations in other to avoid the embarrassment that comes with the former which is where they actually belong. this paper X-Ray the remote causes of African underdevelopment using the Nigeria society to mirror into other African society and suggested a way forward if the people must embrace growth

The book of Isaiah offers a three-fold thematic scheme that supports the central claim of the Pentateuch, the claim found in Deuteronomy 6:4 and known to the Jews as “the Shema,” a verse that declares the God of Israel is one, true and living God, a theme that undergirds all of the prophetic books. Thus, the foundational theme of Isaiah is the central claim of the Pentateuch, a theme shared by all books of the Holy Scriptures. The secondary, structural theme of the book of Isaiah supports the primary theme of the prophetic books by offering the testimony of God’s covenant love to redeem Israel through the prophetic plan of the Messiah’s passion and atonement as supporting evidence that YHWH is the true and living God. The third, imperative theme of the book of Isaiah states that Israel loved the Lord their God with all of their mind by placing their hope in Isaiah’s prophecies concerning their future redemption through the atonement of the Messiah. The application of this third theme for today’s reader is for us to place our hope of redemption in Isaiah’s prophecies concerning the Messiah, namely our justification through faith in the testimony of Jesus Christ through His life and ministry, especially His atonement and resurrection. The Messianic Message of Isaiah in the New Testament - Since ancient times the book of Isaiah has been one of the most popular and inspiring books of the Old Testament canon. Its scope and breath in describing the divine Creator is unmatched in Scripture. Its literary quality is superb. One reason for its popularity among ancient Jews is the emphasis placed upon the coming of the Messiah in its prophecies, which hope was in the hearts and minds of the first-century Jews who were being oppressed under Roman rule during the visitation of Jesus the Messiah. This evidence is seen in Luke 4:16-30 when Jesus entered the synagogue of Nazareth launched His public ministry by reading from Isaiah 61:1-2. Also, Acts 8:28 records the eunuch from Ethiopia reading from the book of Isaiah. Isaiah’s prophecies were used by the earl Church to testify that Jesus Christ fulfilled Old Testament Messianic prophecies. Thus, the book of Isaiah is the most quoted Old Testament book within the New Testament canon. Acts 8:27-28, “And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.” While the book of Isaiah inspired hope for the Jews that their Messiah was coming to deliver them, and strengthened the faith of the early Church, it remains popular today. It is popularly referred to as “the Gospel of the Old Testament” because of its Messianic content. The Three-Fold Structure of the Book Introductions – In order to identify the central message of each book as a three-tiered statement, the book introductions in Study Notes on the Holy Scriptures address three major aspects of approaching the biblical text. These three aspects or sections are entitled (1) the Historical Setting, (2) the Literary Style (Genre), and (3) the Theological Framework. These three sections of the book introductions coincide with the chronological development of historical and literary criticism. More specifically, the twentieth century offered three major approaches to biblical research, generally recognized as source, form, and redaction (composition) criticism. These three approaches developed as scholars searched for better ways to understand the meaning of the biblical text and its application to the modern reader. Over the past three decades, biblical research has adopted a wide array of approaches collected under the field of study called literary criticism. In the course of biblical scholarship, particularly in the writing of commentaries, book introductions have progressively become more complex through the advancement of critical studies in recent centuries. The book introductions found in Study Notes on the Holy Scriptures associate source criticism with the advancement of research in the book’s historical setting; it associates form criticism with the advancement of research in a book’s literary style; and it associates redaction (composition) criticism and literary criticism with the advancement of research in the theological framework of a book. These three aspects of introductory material serve my readers as an important foundation for understanding what the authors of the books of the Holy Scriptures were saying to their audience under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The book summaries within the third section of this introductory material include exegetical, theological, and homiletical ideas for each pericope as a guide for those who desire to preach or teach through this book. These central ideas reflect homiletical research by serving as a summary of the central ideas of the book’s theological framework. This framework of a book is the key to bridging the difficult gap between exegesis and homiletics. In other words, these ideas help the student of God’s Word to take that final step to not only understand what the ancient author meant to say to his original audience, but to apply the meaning of the biblical text to a modern audience. The appendices contain a collection of these exegetical, theological, and homiletical ideas to serve as an outline for those preparing sermons and lessons.

A survey of Christian revivals, especially through the last 300 years from the Moravian revival, Evangelical revivals and Great Awakening of the eighteenth century. Blog and details on www.renewaljournal.com Foreword by C Peter Wagner: I know of no other book like this one that provides rapid-fire, easy-to-read, factual literary snapshots of virtually every well-known revival since Pentecost. As I read this book, I was thrilled to see how God has been so mightily at work in so many different times and places. I felt like I had grasped the overall picture of revival for the first time, and I was moved to pray that God, indeed, would allow me not to be just an observer, but rather a literal participant in the worldwide outpouring that will soon come. As you read the book, I am sure you will be saying the same thing.

Like every patriotic Nigerian, who will wish to see a better Nigeria, I have dreams for this 61-year-old nation. This is a country that has been confronted with several challenges since its birth and till this day is still faced with numerous prevailing challenges that pose as hinderance to its desired growth and development.

I wish to see a Nigeria of tomorrow, a country that will guarantee the security of lives and properties of its citizens; where people of the North-east will sleep without fear of being attacked by Boko Haram; where people of North-west and North central will sleep and even be snoring without fear of bandits’ attack and kidnappers; where people in the South will sleep in their homes at night and go to their farms and markets in the day without fear of being attacked by heartless armed persons alleged to be herdsmen; where students will have no fear of being kidnapped in their schools; where citizens will travel by road from one place to another without fear of being robbed by armed robbers. In the Nigeria of tomorrow, I wish to see a united entity where diverse ethnic groups will accept and embrace themselves to live in love and harmony with tolerance among them; a Nigeria where citizens from any of the states in the South will not be addressed as southerners or citizens from states in the North will not be addressed as northerners but will be proudly addressed as Nigerians; a Nigeria where crimes will be given no religious or ethnic colouration; a Nigeria where problems of one part is seen as problems of all and people collectively work to solve them. In the Nigeria of my dream, I wish to see a country where elected officials will be held accountable for the campaign promises they have made; a country where there will be absence of selective justice and also a true independence of the judiciary; a country where one assumes elective office through a legitimate means; a country where merit and not sentiment becomes the fundamental determinant of who gets what and when; a country where one expresses his opinion about policies and programmes of a sitting government and moves freely without any fear of retribution. I dream of a Nigeria where there will be good governance; where citizens will be given what is due for them at a time when due; where corruption no longer becomes the norm and whoever is found guilty of it is stringently punished; where contracts will be awarded without inflating figures for kick-back purposes; a country where all monies that will come into government purse and go out will be accounted for; a country where public officials will see their positions as an opportunity to serve humanity and not a means or privilege to enrich themselves. I dream of a Nigeria where the last man in a village will feel the existence of governments; a country where governments place citizens’ welfare higher; a country where there will be good schools and quality education; where citizens will have access to improved healthcare at all times; where bulbs in our homes will never go dark; where one will not have to suffer to access clean and drinkable water; where news of deaths in auto crash will not be due to dilapidated roads. This is the Nigeria I dream and wish to see. It is my wish that before my generation ends, Nigeria will be better in a way that our children will grow and be proud to be called ‘NIGERIANS’ at all times and anywhere. Safiyanu Danladi Mairiga, Gombe, Gombe state

The Nigeria of my dream

an essay on the topic nigeria of my dream

(‘Ala ni’ku, kadara kii ku’ – Dreams die, Destiny does not die – a Yoruba wise saying)

A Nigeria of my dream? Well, to tell the truth, I don’t care a hoot about dreams, I don’t take them seriously. And pray, why should I? I dreams, all sorts of ideas, beings, and things invade your well-deserved sleep. Uninvited –except, perhaps by your subconscious self- these things manifest to disturb your peace of sleep, or of mind, or of both, the latter particularly in your waking moments. Dreams can be so unnerving. But some – and this is seldom- can be sweet experience, this I must admit.

What is a dream anyway? A train of mostly wishful thoughts, fantasies, imaginations, ideas, abstracted imaginings that we experience while asleep. This is the general dictionary description. .Sigmund Freud, neurologist, psychoanalyst, and researcher of note on dreams said a few things about dreams that do not even recommend that I should take them seriously. And as I said above I choose to not. Freud is quoted to say for instance, that dreams tend to select their contents ‘in accordance with principles other than those that govern our waking memory, in that it recalls not essential and important , but subordinate and disregarded things…[and] tend to raise trivial and long forgotten details of our lives’.

‘Every dream’, said he, ‘reveals a psychological structure…actually a wish fulfillment’. Freud conclude therefore that ‘dreams are absolutely egoistical’. I want no part of such stuff! Even the great Shakespeare is quoted to say that ‘dreams lift up fools’; that ‘to dream is happiness, [I would say illusion], to wake is reality’, that ‘you can’t fill your purse with dreams’. But dreams, it seems, serve a purpose for many men. Someone said that ‘dreams are necessary for our survival’. Perhaps he meant sanity.

For me, dreams are not real but mere ‘empty words’ to borrow from physician and poet Robert Bridges. The Yoruba saying that dreams die admits that they are ephemeral. On the other hand, ‘Life is real! Life is earnest!’ said Henry Longfellow. By which I understand that reality is what is happening here, now. Not yesterday (that dreams dreg up) not tomorrow that is wishful imagining, but here and now. Indeed, ‘Yesterday is a cancelled check’ said Kay Lyons, ‘tomorrow is a promissory note, today is the only cash you have –so spend it wisely’.

My education tells me to stay in the present, for it is the only place things are happening. This is the reason lessons on Time Management –or more correctly, Self-Management-, emphasize that we should avoid procrastination like it is a plague. Never put off till tomorrow, what you can reasonably do today.

All these are to say that I don’t want to think about a Nigeria of my dream; of a country that exists in abstracted imagining, I want here and now, a country where things work, where, to translate a Yoruba saying, birds sing like birds, rodents cry like rodents, humans behave as intelligent humans, and society is on its normal trajectory of development and progress. I want, to adapt from Khalil Gibran’s poem, a country that eats the bread it grows, drinks the wine from its own wine press, and weaves the cloth it wears. I want a country. I don’t want a country that is ‘full of beliefs and empty of religion’, ‘that raises not its voice save when it walks in a funeral’, ‘that will rebel not save when its neck is laid between the sword and the block’, ‘that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another with trumpetings again’.

These are the classic traits of hypocrites, and this Nigeria is full to the brim with hypocrites. Hypocrisy is a great sin; it is synonymous with deceit, duplicity, two-fadedness, dissembling, insincerity and imposture. I want here, now, a Nigeria where the people live the life they enjoin upon others. Nothing is more terrible for a country but to suffer, as Nigeria does, from Gandhi’s 7 Social Sins.

I want today, a country of a people (leaders and the led) with (a positive) A+T+T+I+ T+U+D+E =100 toward themselves, their fellow citizens and their duty to their country. I don’t grant myself or Nigeria the luxury of dreaming, the serious and instant-minded peoples of the world have left us behind in just about everything that matters –except, for shame! consumption of others’ goods. Am I impatient? Yes I am. Am I angry with my country? Yes I am. I live in an age of the instant –instant coffee, business at the speed of thought, or nearly so. I am hungry for development, and in a hurry for progress. Why shouldn’t my country too?

Dreams die, but Destiny does not die. I want a Nigeria that stops acting in betrayal of its destiny, and that begins forthwith, to fulfill it. Mandela read the star of this country right by saying, in sum, that the greatness of the Black race depends upon how Nigeria conduct itself.

And how to do this? I borrow from Gandhi. One, Politics be played with principles, two, Wealth must be gained from honest work, three, Pleasure must be sought with conscience, four, Education must be go with character, five, Commerce must be practiced with morality, six, Worship must go with sacrifice, and seven, Science must practice with full respect for humanity.

These rules apply to every citizen, to leader and followers at all levels and in all fields of endeavor. Roman statesman and philosopher Marcus Aurelius said ‘let us put an end, once and for all, to this discussion of what a good man should be – and be one’. This I urge on my fellow compatriots here, now. And Nigeria will have set forth on its path to destined greatness.

Winners emerge at The Nigeria of my dream essay competition

Winners emerge at The Nigeria of  my dream essay competition

*Ijeoma Eronini, flanked by Joshua Okere (left) and Chioma Ifezie displaying their plaques.

BY EBELE ORAKPO

IN celebration of the 2014 Children’s Day, the Outreach Department of Chapel of His Presence, Ajao Estate, Lagos, organised an essay competition with the title: The Nigeria of my dream, for primary schools in the Oshodi-Isolo area.

*Ijeoma Eronini, flanked by Joshua Okere (left) and Chioma Ifezie displaying their plaques.

According to the organisers, the competition was aimed at fulfilling one of the cardinal missions of the Church which is impacting communities and affecting lives positively.

At the end of the keenly contested competition which featured 10 schools and took place in the Church auditorium, 10-year-old Miss Ijeoma Eronini of Kiddies Kingdom Private School, Isolo emerged winner and went home with a plaque and N30,000 scholarship fund; second position went to Master Joshua Okere of Newland Elementary School, Mafoluku and he went home with a plaque and N20,000 while Miss Chioma Ifezie of Dominican Group of Schools, Mafoluku clinched the third prize of a plaque and N10,000 scholarship fund.

Winning essay: The Nigeria of my dream By Ijeoma Eronini “Nigeria is a country made up of 36 states. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the leader. It is a country endowed with milk and honey by nature but greed and selfishness have eroded God’s free gift.

Our forefathers had a dream for an independent Nigeria. They fought colonisation with so much zeal. Many of them were prepared to pay the supreme price. Eventually, their dreams gave birth to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The world is ruled by dreamers and I am one of them.

First and foremost, I dream of a new Nigeria where security of lives and property is guaranteed. A Nigeria where basic amenities like potable water, electricity and good roads will be in existence, a Nigeria where there will be improved level of education up to world class standard.

Furthermore, I dream of a Nigeria where the term ‘Leaders of tomorrow,’ actually refers to the youths and not the old men and women in power. A Nigeria where the future of the unborn babies is secured and guaranteed.  A Nigeria where public offices are seen as a privilege and not a do-or-die affair.

Again, I dream of a Nigeria where public officers are responsible for their wrong acts; a Nigeria where job opportunities abound, a Nigeria where human rights are respected, a Nigeria where fraud becomes history. This dream is not a flying horse, I am one of the Nigerians who believe that there is a very big hope for the country. This is the Nigeria of my dreams.”

Reflections on My Country Nigeria: An Essay on the Giant of Africa

A land of diversity and unity.

Despite the striking cultural differences, Nigeria is a symbol of unity in diversity. From the Igbo’s entrepreneurial spirit in the East to the Yoruba’s artistic prowess in the West, and from the Fulani’s pastoral life in the North to the Niger Delta’s oil-rich South, the country pulsates with a unique rhythm that forms the collective Nigerian identity.

A Thriving Hub of Resources and Opportunities

Nigeria’s affluence is not only a result of its populous and diverse citizenry but also its bountiful natural resources. Holding the position as Africa’s premier oil producing nation, Nigeria’s prodigious oil reservoirs establish it as a crucial contributor to the international oil market. Moreover, the country is blessed with rich, arable lands, nurturing an agricultural community and fueling a flourishing farm-based economy.A Nation of Resilient Individuals

Despite the challenges faced, such as economic instability and security issues, the Nigerian spirit remains unbowed. Nigerians are renowned for their resilience, tenacity, and indomitable spirit. The nation is a breeding ground for innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial pursuits, all driven by an unwavering desire for progress.

Nigeria, an Epicenter of Artistic Excellence

Nigeria also shines brightly on the global map for its contributions to arts and culture. With internationally acclaimed musicians, filmmakers, and authors, Nigeria’s entertainment industry is a testament to its artistic brilliance.

In Conclusion

Despite its challenges, Nigeria stands unparalleled in its cultural richness, human resourcefulness, and natural bounty. The ever-resilient Nigerians, with their infectious optimism and relentless pursuit of prosperity, make the country a vibrant and dynamic force in Africa and the world at large. In the words of our national anthem, “the labor of our heroes past shall never be in vain.” As a proud Nigerian student, I believe in the beauty, strength, and future of my beloved country, Nigeria.
