HOW TO MAKE NIGERIA GREAT- BY MR.RIGHTS

To make Nigeria great, we must think like great people because no nation ever become great unless its citizens think of greatness.
Being a hero is different from being great. You may become a hero by carrying out certain actions or implementing certain agenda’s, but being great means doing something more, i.e, accomplishing something good consistently over and over again.
We may conclude that to attain greatness, something heroic must have been accomplished over and over again.
Here we know that to make Nigeria great is beyond a particular individual, it must be a task jointly embarked upon by all well meaning patriots. However, it must be led by  great minds full of innovation and purposeful vision. Especially, someone who understand and uphold the human right principle.
Without any doubt, we all know some great nations.
USA is the most powerful nation in the world, it is great. China has the most vibrant economy is the world, it is great. Dubai of UAE is the world commercial center, it is great and finally, Britain had maintained its stand on world leadership for over 300 years and certainly, it is great.
If Nigeria must be great, we must learn from these great nations.
1.      How did USA become the most powerful country in the world?
USA is not the most wealthiest nation on earth, neither does it have the most population. How did it emerge ahead of more wealthy nations? How did it emerge ahead more populated nations?
2.      How did China emerge the most vibrant economy?
China doesn’t have the most abundant natural resources, neither does it have the most productive land. How did it attain that feat ahead of countries with more natural resources and fertile land?
3.      How did Dubai attain the status of commercial center of the world?
UAE is not the most urbanized country of the world, it is not the most populous country, neither does it have the most population and best technology. How then did Dubai emerge ahead of more urbanized and populous countries with better technology?

And finally,
4.      What kept Britain going for over 300 years in world leadership?
This is just a small country with virtually nothing in terms of natural wealth. How did Britain acquire the required wealth despite having nothing? How did such a small country put itself in the center of world leadership? What are the more wealthy nations doing when Britain was building its empires and capturing vast territory? How did Britain survive till date holding such influence spanning over 300 years?

They all have one thing in common. LEADERSHIP.
Good leadership can make the poorest nation to become the most powerful one, while bad leadership can make the wealthiest nation become the weakest.

Why is Africa backward in terms of development?

Why is Nigeria the way it is today?

One thing  Is responsible: Leadership.

USA did not become the most powerful nation because it is the most wealthiest, but rather, because it has purposeful leadership.
China didn’t have the most vibrant economy because of its population, it attain such status because purposeful leadership emerge in its political space.
Also, Dubai didn’t emerge commercial capital of the world because of its location, fame or anything special, it emerge simply because they have purposeful leadership leading the country.
And finally, Britain didn’t survive over 300 years of world leadership because of super-natural powers or quality, they are waxing stronger because of their effective and purposeful leadership.
The rule is simply, if citizens of a country allow a purposeful leaders emerge in their country, they shall have cause to smile and be proud of being from that country. On the other hand, if they deny purposeful individuals opportunity to excel in their political space, they shall remain backward.
Africa remain backward not because it is cursed or lack anything special, but simply because it lack leadership.
Therefore, Nigeria may have the most abundant natural resources in the world, it may have the most enterprising citizens, it may also have the potential to become a great nation if it chose to, but until purposeful individuals are allowed to emerge in our political space, Nigeria shall remain in a sorry state.
Finally, If we want Nigeria to be powerful like America, we must consider what Americans consider in individuals they elect to lead them. Competence not tribe or religion.
If we want Nigeria to be like China, we must imbibe some attribute of the Chinese people, develop your resources within,condemn and punish corruption no matter who is involved.
If we want Nigeria to be like Dubai in UAE, we must be open to the world with fairness and justice. No tribalism, no racism. We must make our country attractive, not running outside with our resources.
And finally, If we want our country to be like Britain, we must develop our education to meet our needs, be discipline
and no African time.
All of the above cannot be possible without innovation and realistic implementation of ideas, but only a purposeful leader can make it happen.
As we approach 2015 general election, I urge all Nigerians to set aside their tribal, regional and religious consideration.
We should make our personal interest less valuable to our collective interest.
Don’t be deceived by politicians, don’t be blinded by region or ethnicity, be guided by truth and national interest.
That is the only way to make Nigeria great.

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-
Image
Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

If i speak, Nigeria will boil says ANN Chairman, as he frowns on party hijackers and godfathers

The National Chairman of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Dr. Jay Osi-Samuels has narrated how the party was rescued from highjackers and godfathers, saying it was not an easy task dealing with political and so called spiritual godfathers. " If i open my mouth and speak, Nigeria will boil'' he says. In a speech he delivered at the party’s national convention in Abuja on Wednesday, he said the party which is ideologically different from others suddenly found itself in the hands of godfathers, some of whom had hidden under the banner of church spiritual fathers. He further explained that forces of godfathers would have succeeded as a result of moles they planted in the party, but some genuine members within the fold stood up in defence of the party and its ideology. “Some powerful forces were surreptitiously working to disintegrate the party, they planted moles into the party and they almost succeeded in hijacking the structure of the party.” Dr. Osi-Samuels fur

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop

Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria?

South East has the least number of States in Nigeria, the least number of Senators, the least number of House of Reps members, least number of State House of Assembly members, least number of Ministers at the federal level, least revenue allocation, least federal presence or Investment, least local governments, least wards and the least of everything in Nigeria. Can we conclude that Igbo worry about nothing except their stomach? Can we assume that an Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria? Can we conclude that top Igbo Politicians lack strategy, tact and vision to think deep in matters of politics? Can we conclude that we are satisfied with the status-quo ante? Is there hope for Ndigbo in Nigeria’s Political equation? Igbo politics worries me to the marrows! For eight years the former Governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi ruled on the platform of APGA and according to him then, it was either APGA or nothing. To celebrate the late Ikemba Nnewi Chief Emeka Ojukwu,

Fact emerge, President Jonathan falsified his age

-

New facts emerging are putting into dispute the official age given by the President of Nigeria on his public service documents. Accounts from the president himself and others who dare to provide information suggest that contrary to his stated age—being born on November 20, 1957; the president was born several, perhaps 10 years earlier and is over 60 years old. President Jonathan said in 2011 while giving his Christmas Carol address: “I remember the day I was chatting with a group of elders and they said after the war there was electricity everywhere, they travelled out and so on. I came to live in Port Harcourt in 1955. Even then, it was only Port Harcourt that had electricity, even the big cities, Bonny. But now, government must make sure even the smallest village and settlements have electricity light.” See story here--> http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/12/17/why-fuel-subsidy-must-go-now-by-president-goodluck-jonathan/ on CP-Africa .
