Vision for Motherland

For those who doubt the far reaching depth of our vision for Nigeria, they must rejuvenate their minds and water their memories to only less than 20000 days ago when Rev.Martin Luther King had a dream ,and ravel in the manifestation of those words in the grace and audacity of Obama’s victory. We will build a new Nigeria that will reward hard work and create opportunity for all, we will crush the stinging pain of political and economic mediocrity and inspire a new wave of creativity in our people …Lai Labode

A symbol of vision...

As we till the earth’s of our minds and fetch from the abundance of the goodwill sown in us as a nation, as we labour in true and consistent service to our people, and pull down the walls of ignorance and political pettiness to prepare for the challenges of a new age, we must take pride in making the necessary investments in our youths, for they will be embodiments of the desired results of the collective efforts we make today. So I say to you my good people, we stand firmly on the side of history; we share in a New Nigerian dream.
Our vision for the motherland is that of a country where our national heroes are not only responsive leaders but also a body of responsible followers with the right ethical and moral values.

We see renewed and energized nation working together for common good of its people and founded on a complete will and submission to the rule of not only constitutional law but moral law. We see a nation where responsibility for the well being of every fellow countryman is the business of all countrymen in true spirit of nationhood and the fear of God. Today we dream of a country whose economy is built first on its inexhaustible and qualitative human resources in a bid to guarantee at least an enduring minimum living standard for its entire people. Our hearts yearn for a nation where political pettiness gives way to renewed belief in a Nigeria that is much bigger than our individual wishes, status, affinities, and ambitions, ethnic and religious affiliations.
Let us stay steady in our thoughts and actions for a greater motherland .Our show of patriotism should not be intermittent emotional outbursts, we must immerse ourselves in the believe that
enduring prosperity can only be achieved when followership is more responsive and potent enough to shape a lagging or discredited leadership.

For those who doubt the far reaching depth of our vision for Nigeria, they must rejuvenate their minds and water their memories to only less than 20000 days ago when Rev.Martin Luther King had a dream ,and ravel in the manifestation of those words in the grace and audacity of Obama’s victory. We will build a new Nigeria that will reward hard work and create opportunity for all, we will crush the stinging pain of political and economic mediocrity and inspire a new wave of creativity in our people .We will harness the boundless strength in the power of the Nigerian spirit and remove the legacy of hate, want and failure .My belief is complete, Nigeria will shine again. Today we give life to the promise of a new Nigerian dream, I challenge you all to begin the realignment of your vast talents and skill with our national instincts in the common interests and yearnings of our people for it will be told by generations to come that together we stood for truth, justice, equality and opportunity for all citizens. It will be told that we did not only speak, we acted and acted well. God bless you all.

The price that we pay today for the rebirth of Nigeria is worth far more than we can imagine for the inevitable result of our sacrifices is a truly prosperous nation founded on astute values we can publicly propagate and inexplicably bound together in renewed trust, respect and belief in our people. This is the promise of our New Nigerian Dream.
