Nigeria is a great nation and to be truly so, we need
a dream. Collectively as a nation and as a people, Nigeria needs a dream,
something to dream about, a purpose to fight for. Any great nation without a
purpose that can keep everybody running will not remain great for long.
Nigerians are asking for the Nigerian dream. What are we after, what is
our purpose, what should be our drive? This billion-naira question must be
answered if we as a nation must take another step forward.
Driving back to the history of the ‘Niger-area’ I realize we once had a dream – the Nigerian dream. But because we had
leaders who don’t know that for survival you must either run with a vision or
burn with a passion. They let the dream die or they foolishly multiply the
vision and thereby short-circuiting the passion of our nation. We as a nation
must reconnect to this vision/dream if we must see the glory of Nigeria. We can
reconnect to this vision, with or without the government. Like the Americans,
we can tell, talk and walk our Nigerian dream with or without our
leaders. I quite believe when we all step into our dreams collectively our
leaders will have no choice but to follow. By then we can say, the leaders are
now the followers and the followers the leaders.
