I PLEDGE TO NIGERIA MY COUNTRY

 

By; Johnson gabriel

I am a Nigerian who believes in Nigeria not Biafra. I will serve Nigeria with all my strength  not to fight Nigeria with all my strength , in order to uphold honor and glory.

No matter what people say, no matter what they do, I strongly belief that every individual who embarks a journey,  must have a mind set. Either a wanderer or a mad person, something triggers your movement.

Nigeria as a nation, has embarked a journey which has been fifty five years  now but yet, her destination has not been reached. The movement  seems to be a comparison of a boat  which set sail on the ocean whereby both the boat and the individual who paddles the boat, faces the hardest time of their lives. But note that, for someone to set the sail of a boat on the ocean , there must be something  he has in mind that gives him the vigor  though, it seems a mission impossible but I belief has he embarks this unbelievable  mission where he is subjected to stumble and struggle, on the same spot of the sea, fortunately for him, he may meet an helper only if he realizes that he is on a wrong mission.

Nigeria has a country has been in this same  situation for quite some years and  yet, no mission accomplished. Some blame those who fought for our independence, some blame our leaders and some even blame God for making them be a part of Nigeria. They fail to realize why they are Nigerians  but they only fight and struggle to go apart.

I want them in this regard to reason that, if Nigeria is 55yrs and yet no achievement of what to be described as a solid economy as a strong nation even titled the giant of Africa , what gives them the assurance that  if they go apart, in the next  55yrs to come they will get it right? And plus the years they have spent being  Nigerians, it will now be an over 100yrs of suffering!!!

They should please note another thing that, its not how small a country is that makes her successful but how organized and mature they can account their  activities. There are some smaller country than Nigeria that we do not even hear of their names  till date been successful in any particular area of their economy sectors.

Taking a look at Nigeria today, I really see it to have  a mission and I tend to prefix it  with “reliable” which makes it a “reliable- mission”.

It behooves on us as citizens of our beloved Nigeria, not to blame our  leaders who fought our independence to existence, nor our present leaders even not God but, to come alive and fight to life our dead morale for a brighter assurance of a better NIGERIA!!!
