Nigeria is the only place we can call our home; we have
not another one to brag about if it fails.
The success achieved from the just concluded
elections and the level of maturity displayed by the masses, have clearly shown,
that Nigerians are on the move. They are ready to match up globally with the
league of patriotic nations. The people went to the polls, conducted themselves
in a decent manner, cast their votes and remained peaceful even after the
declaration of the winners.
No
longer can conversations about African democratic stability by the world stable
democratic heavyweights be discussed without mentioning Nigeria. Nigeria is a
nation on the move with a hub of opportunity. If nations are not looking
towards Nigeria, they are missing out an opportunity to be part of and invest
in something potentially great.
However,
while the masses are tired of delay,
and are no longer comfortable standing at a point with no appreciable growth
and development, their leaders have been on the contrary. They prefer to
keep the nation at a point as long as their greed is satisfied.
They
elevate their own will above the democratic will of the people at the expense
of the masses. Before they get elected, they make loads of airy promises and
present themselves like the messiah. But immediately they get what they want,
they turn around and say something different.
