My
Love For Nigeria: Perpetual And Undying!
By:
Hameed AjibolaJimoh Esq.
Nigeria
is
a blessed nation full of blessings from God Almighty! With all these blessings
from God to this nation, some Nigerians, with due respect to them, for whatever
reasons best known to them, wish Nigeria to become divided and even destroyed
while they nurse their intention to relocate to another country. As far as I am
concerned, Nigeria remains my country and indeed my God’s destined country and
therefore, my love for her is perpetual and undying!
Notwithstanding some
of the challenges created by some self-centered and selfish persons within and
abroad Nigeria, to me, Nigeria is a lot to me! I am happy being a Nigerian and
a Nigerian lawyer! Together, and in my strength, we shall all build this
country and lift her to a greater height by God’s grace! I therefore encourage
Nigerian youths to continue to champion their efforts towards the growth of
Nigeria! Nigerian youths should continue to be focused, creative and innovative!
Some twin-problems that I have observed damaging the growth of this nation is
the fact that some persons in position of authority are not accountable
and transparent. Take for instance, had some of those leaders in powers
at various levels been transparent by giving out some of the benefits of
government to the public, rather than a situation where everyone would like to
be a civil or government’s servants, individuals would see the need for them to
invest in entrepreneurship rather than waiting to be paid salary at the end of
the month. Therefore, some minorities or majorities feel marginalized and or
abandoned, leading to a destructive agitation. Also, the accountability of government
to its people is poor! A responsible government cannot run‘a government of no
accountability’ as such leads to absolute embezzlement and decadence of
the national facilities! The politics that some of our Nigeria politicians play
in regard to governance or government is a selfish politic! The purpose of the
structures of the political system in my humble view is established to ensure
even-distribution of national opportunities to every citizen and ensure even-participation
in the country’s polity.

Nigeria is concerned, Nigeria remains a great country, a great nation and my

Republic of Nigeria! God bless the Nigeria’s leadership!
