Dear Leaders
I like to very warmly greet you all and to wish you all the best this weekend.
As we enter the next and very crucial stage of our journey to reclaim Nigeria, the need to remind ourselves of certain minimum commitments is imperative.
A leader is follower to a leader. Leadership is relative. As leaders and followers, we should, at least diplomatically, accept faults when we're wrong. It shows that you're not callous to the wrong done. Conscience is not supposed to be a monopolistic attribute of a human. No perfection in humans. Leaders must realize the imperfections inherently glued to man's nature.
Our common goal for the class of opportunistic, self-centered leadership that has kept the nation in the throes of underachievement.
Our problem as a nation has been neither tribe nor religion. These are tools consistently employed by the ruling class to keep us divided and therefore incapable of building a national bulwark of opposition to change the status quo.
When, therefore, we post derogatory articles against Jews, Moslems, Christians and others supposedly different from us, we further drive wedges between us that keep us perpetually divided.
For the avoidance of doubt, every Nigerian... Male or female; young or old; Christian, Moslem, Traditional African Worshipper and even atheist.... that feels inclined to join in the quest for progressive restructuring and rejuvenation of our country must be enlisted, not alienated.
Once again, I greet you all and urge us to engage in healthy debates and suggestions on taking Nigeria back without plying the trade of hate and stereotyping.
God bless you all.
"Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more."
