Where Were You When Nigeria Began To Degenerate?
Dear Compatriots!
It is another moment to read my write up again.
Brothers & Sisters, fellow citizen of this great Nation,
we have now come to discovered and agreed that we are the only
one that can build our nation. So, we have to join hands together and participate in the nation building by doing what you know best in moving the country forward so that history will not pose a question to us.
• If you are a famous young writer, and you do not write about the plight of the poor, history will ask: Where were you, and what did you do when Nigeria began to degenerate?
• If you are a prolific young journalist, and you say nothing about corrupt politicians who embezzle public funds, posterity will ask: Where were you, and what did you do when Nigeria began to degenerate?
• If you are a flourishing young entrepreneur, and you do not contribute to the improvement of the lives of the destitute, future generations will ask: Where were you, and what did you do when Nigeria began to degenerate?
• If you are a singer, and you do not sing in defence of the downtrodden masses, history will also pose a question to you: Where were you, and what did you do when Nigeria began to degenerate?
It does not matter what kind of work you do, there is a role you can and must play to stop the perversion of our society. Your success will mean nothing if it is not connected with the general advancement of society!
Finally, I must end my goodwill message with the famous quote of John Fitzgerald Kennedy that says “Let us not ask what our country should do for us, rather let us ask what we shall do for our country” and this way, I think that we will be on the right path to building a greater nation. It is not about how late we start, it is all about starting first that defines our goal, motive, mission and vision to building a great nation “Nigeria”. (It is not how far, but it is how well).
Where were you, and what did you do when Nigeria began to degenerate? Will you be able to give an answer to this question when future generations ask you?
God Bless You All!
