IN THE DAYS OF THE NEW NIGERIA
Dreams come true, come through and leave you in the world of your dream. That is why the best author who has the widest read book, said we are a product of our thought. What you are about to read is my story for the New Nigeria.
In the days of the New Nigeria there were preparation for election and surprisingly there was no ‘god father’ interference, no sidelining, kidnapping, bribery and election rigging. The people were in their right senses, influenced and were assured of their several choices. The media took interviews of some positive and patriotic Nigerians and they found that every one’s choice was based on a well thought choice. The Election Day approached and the people could not wait to cast their well thought vote. On the 8th of April was the election and everyone was out to cast their vote, and it want all well. Few days later the result came out and the choice president, Ass-President, Governor, senators, house of assembly and local government chairmen were chosen and their qualities were pure, truthful, and all motivated by the passion for work and not for embezzlement.
The New Nigeria surprised us all because our educational system became the world standard; Jamb illegality were eradicated so that hard working students who read and wrote well were given the opportunity to enter the university. The heartbeats of students were to read for knowledge and not to impress anyone but that they may be able to prove what they read anytime they are tested. Honestly the least score was c5 and then D7, C6, F9 was only a choice. At this time almost half of the class had A1 and B3. So the medium for reward was award by the government for one year scholarship each.
On the fifth year which was the shock of Nigerians, we all looked closely and were happy that for good five years there was no power failure and we Nigerians marked it with a celebration tagged ‘THE NEW NIGERIA, A REALITY’ and it had a strong saying ‘A step forward!’. Automatically our economic value increased so much that we no more owed World Bank. Our debts were paid, with ease. So there was no scare in ironing our clothes because the light was always stable. This automatically reminded me of a journey I had in Europe. My friends and I were had a scheduled meeting and all of a sudden we shouted ‘hey we have not ironed our shirts, NEPA will take light’ and then I laughed and reminded them that we were in Europe, not Nigeria. But we were glad that Nigeria had a stable light.
The availability of light gave rise to many developments in our country. It lead to no export because we now had our processing factories round the 37 states of Nigeria. This automatically made things cheap and affordable.
It, lead to self employment and more of entrepreneurs. This lead to high income yield in our financial sectors, as patriotic business owners solved challenges of the nation as much as they can, making a full support with the Nigeria Government and it made a more rapid growth in the nation. And then we saw ‘that with all for all, the desired all becomes a reality. Saying by Pjbass!
It is true that Nigeria was voted to be one of the most illegal sexed nation; a corrupt people and dirty in our dealings. Yes, it was said but right now it became a model for right relationship (marriage, dating, courting, gigolo, and end to abortions, unwanted pregnancies, gay (male and female same sex), commercial sex workers )harlots) and AIDS/HIV nation. I couldn’t express how happy I was; the constant reality of our youth’s positive sex lifestyle and non corrupt attitude further made me believe. Then there was no need for scare of insecurity, rape and sex camping. Because 95% had positive mindset and were all burned with the passion for change, the change we see now but never ending.
While abroad back then, I came to understand that even though Africa (Nigeria in view) is painted as a black negative nation and most corrupt, I found that we were abroad. But in the New Nigeria I was happy that the world publicized Nigeria, Africa as the best nation and continent to live in. They further said; the secrete to our success was that ‘we took a step at a time’. While they mocked us and said things about us, we kept moving and now they are behind us, far away. Now we were known as 1st World citizens and whatever name for themselves.
Looking intently, I remembered when an African president (B.O), Ex- president (B.C), and the president’s wife talked to us on international cables, for getting that Africa had change agents in the white countries making their economy what it was, but unknowingly we had change agents here who had a better picture for Nigeria and so it made the words of this white ungrateful folks futile. Until the whites remember that without the blacks (Africa, Nigeria most impactful) they wouldn’t have been that successful. But in my mind continued by my dream for The New Nigeria, I knew someday Africans and Nigerians would come back to their mother land, because their mother land was better than abroad. They came and gave what they gave the whites in their own land and then the secrete was revealed that before you talk against or talk about someone, first of all apply the principle of Pjbass Talk Pattern, it states; Recognize the positive things before the negative, weigh it and dwell on the best. Well it is my happiness to announce that what makes the world what it is has left the offshore and flown back into Nigeria and now we have the best models in all of lies diversity. Oh how happy I am, even though I have narrated the story, which is my dream for Nigeria in Africa.
In this New Nigeria; Naira had more value more than it was back then when $2 equals N1, but in This New Nigeria N1.00 is valuable than the dollar and pounds. Because our N1.00 to dollar and pounds became $300, 500 pounds. It was mind blowing, but we Nigerians and Africans transacted with this Naira value, no joke.
Nigeria became a farming nation, we had everything the best standard of agriculture. It gave rise to our economical value. What a New Nigeria.
Fuel, oil and gas became so cheap to N5.00 per litre. What a new Nigeria we now live in. Where security, good roads, nice infrastructures, crimeless government, open minded indigenes, harmless Police and the military lived and did their job very well. There was not more extortion of money and waste of lives but they secured and protected lives of the indigenes of Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Universities and all 3rd level education became very cheap, because the economy of the universities was no more needed to affect the economy of Nigeria but to take care of the universities, modernizing it and payment of the staffs so that teaching became the highest well paid job in all levels of educations. This became a reality because the teachers where the farmers of the leaders of tomorrow.
In the days of the New Nigeria, more than this happened. I am glad it is story of change that stood as the world’s legacy.
OUR REQUIREMENT
Give the positive attitude you can to Nigeria and let all Africans give their best
Our concentration is on Nigeria, so positive behaviours, confessions and healthy mindsets should be kept
Remember we are a product of what we’ve been saying, so if you need change; say what you want
I have one evil world for all that won’t admit to this dream of the New Nigeria, you will grow worse never finding peace and you will never be known for something tangible. Evil will be your path and darkness your world.
But if you are interested in Then New Nigeria, then say this together...
Nigeria, the positive model of the world, Africa the best continent of the world, The New Nigeria, a land with peace, abundance and fulfilment!
