Every time i find myself in discussion about Nigeria & Nigerians, this name: President
Olusegun Obasanjo always popup.
One thing we all know is that Nigerian's love to talk or is it brag? We know everything...We are the smartest...are the echoes coming from within the speech of the so-called enlightened.
And I wonder when this bragging will stop.
In today's world of wysiwyg, billions are being manipulated and misled through insufficient and incorrect information, which is the main game of today's politics all over the world.
So you might ask, how then can we get correct information?
- Knowing the differences between extremes is the key to decipher truth from lie.
- Time - pattern (sequence) of events is needed to establish facts.
- Order of priorities-knowing what comes first.
- Comparison with nations that stated from where we are and are now where we want e.g., China & India.
I can assure you that most Nigerians gather information thru word-of-mouth either thru families, friends, acquaintances, etc This sources alone cannot be totally trusted.
We need to have standard or do i say good "morals - things to die for". We can't continue living the way we are and expect things to change! its craziness.
We need to change our perspectives and go back to the law that defines life-how & what it should be and feel like. And here lies all the problems Nigeria and Nigerians are facing.
We cannot compare and hope to be like the new world super powers - China & India, if we continue like this - blaming and cursing and not seeing that life is all about building and building with the right materials!
So I have decided to use this blog to say this once to be repeated zillions of time to all beloved of our dear country Nigeria!
