Before we can BRING BACK THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAMS, first of all, we all must exercise our right to vote wisely.
With our valid votes, we bring in credible leaders. As we brace up for the 2015 general elections, there is a compelling imperative to discard leaders that keep promising without fulfilling. Millions of promises will never fill a basket. From the federal level to the grassroots level, there are myriads of avenues our government (all levels) can improve our standard of living and create job opportunities.

Nigeria, widely regarded as ‘Giant of Africa’ is without an operational national airline. This is a sad epitaph for our reputation. To add salt to injury, most all our political and religious bigwigs own private jet. Ethiopia owns and runs Ethiopian Airlines, which plies several routes in Africa and beyond. Several other African countries can boast of their airlines: South Africa, Kenya, Egypt etc. We once had a national pride known as Nigeria Airways, but sadly today, it is nowhere to be found. What is left of the Nigerian airway is just a bunch of scrap away from the hangar. Please BRING BACK OUR NIGERIA AIRWAYS.

All focus is now on oil money. Our hitherto robust refineries are in a total mess. We still import PMS, Kerosene and Diesel for general consumption. There is a lot to be brought back.
We can go on and on, naming several areas of our economy desperately and dangerously needing redemption in order for our Leaders to bring back the Nigeria of our dreams, but as followers and proud citizens, we also need orientation so that when all of these changes and developments arrive, we all will be able to manage and make good use of them for our children’s future. For example, let’s assume that the residents of Ajegunle are transferred into Victoria Garden City (VGC), and residents of VGC also move to Ajegunle, after a month or two, there will be visible changes on both sides. VGC would have become Ajegunle and Ajegunle would have transformed into a new VGC. It’s all about orientation.
The general election is around the corner once again, this time you and I need to exercise our right to vote. No more dulling and no more saying ‘awon lo n se nnkan won.’ As our leaders are getting set to work, we the followers and proud citizens also need to roll up our sleeves as well. So we can bring back the Nigeria of our dreams together.
