Patriotism is KEY when we talk about national issues.Without it,the world super powers wouldn't be.If there's any country that have developed or is considered as developing,there's no doubt about patriotic activities in the making of such countries.
A Country is What Her Citizens Makes of Her
A country with a lot of rich men as citizens is a rich country and a country with a lot of poor men is a poor country.It's as simple as that!
Nigeria is poor simply because the percentage of the rich in the country is less than 50%...what am I saying,it is even less than 30%!
'But There is Nothing We can Do About It'
Now, those are the words I so very much hate to hear! What do you mean there's nothing we can do about it??? Of course, there are million things we can do about it!!!
Let us be realistic here. If you ask an average Nigerian why the country is in such a bad shape, without thinking, he'll answer that it's the government's fault. This is because, he has been told this OLD FAT LIE for so long that it now sounds so reasonable and acceptable that he's ready to bet his life on it! Well, the BLUNT truth is that, the government is not totally responsible for the current financial mess we find ourselves today...we too are equally responsible!
Nigerians Depend TOO MUCH on Government
This is so shockingly true. Nigerians literarily expect the government to do everything for them whereas we are not running a socialist type of economy but the mixed type of economy.
From my little knowledge of Economics, the mixed type of economy is the type of the economy where the government provides certain products/services while the private sector provides others and in some cases, they both share the responsibility of providing certain products and services.
For instance, the exploration and sale crude oil and other natural resources as well as the sale of licences of participation to the private investors are co-ordinated and overseen by the government...power and water supply too is manned by the government. In the case of such things as foodstuffs, manufactured products among other things are left in the hands of the private sector. However, the government had to share the responsibility of providing basic services such as health care, education and transport.
Nigeria needs Patriots If She must Develop
We are suffering today basically because most Nigerians are Nigerians by name and birth...nothing more. Some that can afford it have gone as desperate as giving birth to their children abroad just to get them a citizenship of any of the developed world. They'll gladly trade their Nigerian identity for these countries. This is so unfortunate, but, this is the case!
Nigeria needs a new breed of youths...Nigeria needs people who would believe in Nigeria and would work for Nigeria's progress while they too progress. Nigeria needs as many HONEST AND PASSIONATE citizens she can get to move up the development ladder and become developed too. After all, none of the developed countries got developed by fluke or by eloping and shirking their responsibilities as the respectful owners of their country...why would Nigerians expect a difference in the case of Nigeria, how do they expect Nigeria to develop when all they do is find a way to DUMP her???
Are You a Patriot???
I don't know about you, but, as for me, I'm a patriot who would as much as I can to make Nigeria a better place to be. I would do what it takes to advance the course of Nigeria and I would do it... PROUDLY!
God Bless Nigeria!
Happy Independence Day!!
Long Live Nigeria!!!
