NIGERIA – UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE (CONTINUE TO) FALL



Unity amongst people results in the achievement of vision whether noble or ignoble!

God recognised the power of unity / synergy when he had to confound the contrary vision of many who wanted to build the Tower of Babel. He had his own visionary agenda!  

For example, Genesis 11:6 reads, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them."  God realized that people unified in purpose can accomplish unique feats.

In parallel, the strength of our national leaders is derived from our disunity and they use this reality as a manipulative tactic to encourage division (religion, tribe, zoning) between our people and thus enforce their power base. .

Remember, a handful of visionaries for change can generate the change process.

·         Imagine the outcomes if 50% of immigration scam victims march on the National Assembly
·         Imagine the national and internationally powerful message of a march on  government houses demanding jobs (for example: the job seeker participants related to the immigration scam numbering over 60,000 in Abuja, over 11,000 in Niger State, over 30,000 in River State, over 15,000 in Kano State, over 17, 000 in Benue State, over 5,000 In Cross River State, over 22,500 in Oyo State, over 6,000 in Bayelsa State and over 30,000 from Plateau State)
·         Imagine what the united power of our people would have achieved if the tactics of the government had not split our united purposes protesting against the removal of the fuel subsidy
·         Let us be encouraged by the global unity in energising the #bringbackourgirls movement (sadly, this effort too is being sectionalized to kowtow to influential partisanship)

Nigerians it is time to WALK the TALK … mobilise or fossilise!

When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion (Ethiopian Proverb)
