IJESALAND PATRIOTS; A NEED FOR VISION!
It is time for us to dream new dreams for Ijesaland; Ijesaland is the cradle of our birth and the temple of our progenitors. It is our Zion, our own Jerusalem here on earth. We have the human and natural resources to move her to a NEW FRONTIERS and Greater heights. What is your vision for Ijesaland?
We need VISION for attainment of Ijesaland goals and aspirations. We need VISION for Ijesaland Commonwealth and Development. We need a new humane society where there is a new social order, peace progress and prosperity. May our visions come to reality.
The Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” vision is not solely a religious issue. We need vision for our Ijesaland society to move forward. The world is created by divine vision. It would have not been better place for us to live, if there is no power of vision; the third eye of creativity of men and women who have contributed to civilization and modernization.
The story was told in the Bible about men who have vision and imagination, Men that built the very first skyscraper in the world (The Tower of Babel). Even God knows that there is power in their vision and imagination. “And the Lord said, Behold the people is one, and they have one language and this they begin to do; and now nothing will restrained from them, which they imagined to do” (Genesis 11:6). I have read about the seven wonders of the ancient world and even of the hi-tech and breakthroughs of our contemporary times. They are invention of men who have power of vision.
Vision and idealism rules the world. The world is an autobiography of men and women of vision and idealism. Ijesaland needs visionary and ideal patriots to move her to new frontiers and development.
Patriots can be Teachers, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Journalists, Accountants, Administrators, Politicians, Human right activists, Writers, Philanthropists, Business Men & Women, Clergy men , Farmers, Artisans, Musicians, Students or Youths etc.
Patriots are the lovers and ardent supporters of their country (home town) irrespective of their career or vocation. Patriotism is not only an emotional thing, it is a function of vision, idealism and pragmatic approach to the good of the public's’ common wealth and the country who have virtue; Patriots are altruists and not chauvinists.
Patriots are men who are honest, loyal and dedicated to the service of their fatherland. Patriots are lovers of peace, progress and prosperity of their nation and its people. Patriots are non-violent and passive resistant, but lover of justice, equity and they play the game of the society in camaraderie relationship and the spirit of sports-man ship.
Patriots are haters of violence; thuggery, egoism, corruption and anything that can undermine or injure the good of the society. Patriots are humane, welfarist, philanthropist, pious and Godly men who have vision for themselves, their neighbour, and their nation. Patriots’ ends and aims are “their country, their God’s and truth’s’.’
Ijesaland needs more of patriots to move her forward!
Ijesaland Patriots; Arise, Ijesaland is calling you!!
God Bless Ijesaland, A Nation under God!!!
