(Nigeria of our Dream: I see a Radical Change Coming!) One thing the leadership in our great Nation has not realised, or perhaps they do, but pretend they dont is that CHANGE is a natural phenomenon. Yes, CHANGE is inevitable, even if you dont want to change, change will change you! One major thing affecting us as a people, a republic, and a federation, is inertia. The system has become so bad, and has remained so for a long time now, that many have accepted it as a norm. An attitude I have seen in many great naija folks is expressed in these words, Na so we see am, wetin man pikin go do?. Its like the old saying, whatever will be, will be. Things may have been going on on the wrong paths these many years in this Nation, but lets not give in to slothfulness. The status quo must not continue. We must be willing to take action; we have to BREAK the influence of inertia that has crippled development in all sphere of our republic. Nigerians to a great extent have exhibited patience, yes, we are an enduring people. But I really hope is not a case of suffering and smiling, as the late Afro-beat king, Fela, once sang? Somebody once said that you can do almost anything with a people till they get really hungry. But when they get to that place where the hunger is overwhelming, desperation sets in. Resistance will emerge, and remember, An HUNGRY man is an ANGRY. That we have not seen up until now a forceful resistance to the subjugation and oppression that are on in our great Nation does not mean its not likely. The leadership as a whole should not take for granted the quietness of the populace. Even steel will melt under strong, intense heat! Nigeria is on a prophetic pedestal, there is a Divine Program that the Nation is running on, though it may not be visibly apparent. But it sure is. History is replete with instances of radical changes. Most of these CHANGES occurred at a time when the established powers were floating on erroneous assumptions, but when they thought they were like a rockthat is immovable, the determined happened! Its funny to think Nigeria will continue this way. CHANGE iS CONSTANT. This change is coming! It may sound absurd now, because it appears our leaders, past and present, have been getting away with things, without pure justice. A principle I know for sure is what I call The RiSE and FALL. Babylon was a great empire at a time. It was so strong that nobody thought it could ever go down.But by a poetic justice, it fell! This is what I see coming in Nigeria. There is a Hand that overrules things on earth. It is called Providence. The present system will collapse. It may be slow, but is is sure. Lets keep hope alive. Naija will go FORWARD!
