Nigeria at 58 – The yearning of nation Pt. 2

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. 

Exodus 1: 8 – 10 KJV

Exodus 1: 1-15

The goal of the Nigerian elitist leaders is to keep the people in the bondage of poverty so that they can rule over them. We have to refuse the paradigm and open our eyes to see the beauty and wonder of the nation called Nigeria.

After hundreds of years of the children of Israel living in the land of Egypt, there was a Pharaoh (leader) who did not know Joseph. When he came into power he decided that they must enslave the Israelis who came into their land as a free people.

In Nigeria, our current crop of leaders who are like the proverbial pharaohs that know no Joseph and they are superintending and ruling over the affairs of Nigeria. They have put task masters and officers over us.

1. There are some kings that do not know Joseph over Nigeria. Whether we believe it or not our colonial masters did not design Nigeria to succeed. They made sure it was almost impossible for Nigeria to survive and its citizens to thrive. 
2. We have task masters and officers. The task masters were Egyptians and the officers are Israelis. The same is happening in Nigeria today. Our leaders are our task masters and the average man are the officers
3. The people who do not mind suffering and smiling. The people have become like the ostrich thinking that things will get better by themselves. Each individual must rise up to say that ‘thus far we go and no more’ and work at the change we want to see in our nation. 
4. We must get for ourselves a visionary leader. Those who are concerned and filled with love and patriotism for Nigeria. We need someone who is learned in all the ways of Nigeria with a vision for Nigeria that will take Nigeria to that promised land. The person must be knowledgeable, well behaved, available for the people of Nigeria, ready to die for this nation, intelligent, filled with wisdom, capable and responsible, must be a nationalist.
5. We must get into a place of knowledge. Without knowledge and education, it is going to be a tough fight to move forward in this nation. 

The trend of rule and leadership over Nigeria makes it difficult for Nigeria to reach its full potential. It is time for us to cry to out and take a stand and say enough is enough.
