DONT DISAPPOINT DESTINY

Our country Nigeria has suffered so much shame and reproach. The average Nigerian is not proud of this country, the average Nigerian wants to leave this country to seek greener pasture where ever possible. Nigeria has been seen as a cursed country. But the question is- can there be a change in Nigeria? So many great persons have come out from this country: Great leaders, philosophers, economists, industrialists, teachers, preachers, politicians, and so many great men. But are they proud of this country. We need to rise up and face the reality. The reformation of Nigeria is ripe. The transformation of Nigeria is now. The present youth are the people who will bring this reformation and transformation. Everyone has a role to play. Cant you see it, don't you feel it, don't you sense it? There is now an out-break of mental super-activity where the youth are going to be used immensely for our national development, reformation and transformation. Where the youth are going to be used as agent of reform in science, engineering and technology, information and communication technology, economy, political leadership, socio-cultural developments and many more. To my fellow youth I say- Do not disappoint destiny. Try and play a role in this reform. We are the ones we have been waiting for. I see a New Nigeria coming soon. Dont Disappoint Destiny.

DO SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU ARE AFFECTED.

The question I have pondered for quite long is: In Nigeria do we not have a Martin Luther King Jr who is going to give us a dream, An "I HAVE A DREAM" where one day Nigeria would rise up to become the greatest nation on earth. A J.F.Kennedy who is going to tell us this profound statement " Ask not What the country would do for you. Rather ask for what you will do for the country". A Winston Churchill who would give us Courage to perform in the midst of fears. A Julius Nyerere who would sacrifice personal gains for good of our country. An Obama who is going to give us hope with his message of change, The change we need. A documentary by Leap Africa "NAIJA JUNCTION" showed four possible calamities that may happen to Nigeria by 2025 if there is no visible change in our style of governance. (To view naija junction visit www.nigeria2025scenerios.com) I'm afraid this might happen, unless we DO SOMETHING BECAUSE WE ARE AFFECTED. Nigeria need youth with a RAGE FOR CHANGE. Youth who are going to play immense role in different capacities on every sectors of our economy and country. I believe in Nigeria, I have not lost hope in Nigeria. Therefore BECAUSE I AM AFFECTED, I will play a big role to restore the Dignity of Nigeria to see Nigeria rise up to become the Number One Country in the world. DO SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU ARE AFFECTED.

MAKE THE MAN LIVE (1)

There is a popular statement that if you want to hide anything from an African put it in a book. This statement has overtime proven to be true. Africans detest the quest for knowledge. We have refuse to invest in knowledge. We have refuse to adapt to reading culture and imbibe a strong reading habit. No wonder the man in us is dead. The man died when our leaders refused to pay more emphasis on our educational budget by not meeting the required MDG percentage on education. The man died when our university system started producing half bake graduates. The man died when our lecturers laid more emphasis on selling handouts instead of impacting knowledge. The man died when our students stopped reading and started using exam malpractice as a means of passing exams. The man died when our youth now focus more on entertainment activities rather than knowledge based programs. The man died when our students visit more of bear parlors, attend parties instead of visiting the library- the sanctuary for learning. The man died when our youth invest more time on watching movies rather than reading books. The man died when our mindset on school is about acquiring certificate rather than getting knowledge and developing skills. How do we hope to make Nigeria great, the envy of other Nations when the man in us is dead. How do we make Nigeria the most habitable Nation on earth when the man in us is dead. Fellow Nigerians, The Man in us is our potentials. We can make the man in us to live when we make use of our potentials. We can make the man in us to live when we correct the above listed vices. I BELIEVE NIGERIA CAN BECOME THE MOST HABITABLE NATION ON EARTH IF THE MAN IN US IS ALIVE. MAKE THE MAN LIVE. By Cornel Osigwe jr

MAKE THE MAN LIVE (2)

Fellow Nigerians, Do you know that a lot of things go wrong when the man in us is dead? Most men in Nigerians are dead. Suppose the man in Gandhi was dead perhaps how different would have been the history of Indian. Suppose the man in Winston Churchill was dead, British power would have been history. Suppose the men in Lincoln, Roosevelt, J. F Kennedy how different the history of American would have been, suppose the man in Martin Luther King Jr was dead, there may not have been am Obama today. Suppose the man in Shakespeare was dead the potentials of Macbeth would have been buried. Suppose the man in Bill Gates was dead, you may not have had a P.C. Suppose the man in Mark Zuckerberg was dead, there may not have been a Facebook. Suppose the men in Azikiwe, Balewa, Awolowo, Enahoro were dead, how different the pages of history about Nigeria would have been. Nigeria has has been unable to leap-frog into the league of developed countries because the men in most of our leaders were dead. Twenty years ago was the best time to plant a tree, Now is the second best time. I BELIEVE THAT NIGERIA CAN BECOME THE MOST HABITABLE NATION ON EARTH IF WE CAN MAKE THE MAN IN US TO LIVE. MAKE THE MAN LIVE. By Cornel Osigwe jr

YOU CAN RE-WRITE YOUR STORY

THE WORLD BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

I woke up 2AM this morning to read and study as usual. In checking the time on my phone I noticed two text messages from my best friends- Nonso Smart Okafor and Emeka Okoye who sent me wonderful Birthday wishes and prayers. Then it dawned on me that today is my b/day. I said Happy B/day to myself and I thanked God for adding another year to my life.
I took time to relect on my life. How far I have achieved and lived my dreams and visions. No doubt I knew I have performed averagely. I took out my pen and paper to write the story of my life; my past and present; challenges and victories; trials and triumphs; tests and testimonies; my current lifestyle and standard of living etc. in conclusion I found out that I have not yet started living my dream; that my current story is not my desired story. I rejected it cos I knew my story. I knew my dreams. I knew what was written of me in the bible.
I brought out another paper and started writing my preferred story. I stated exactly how I want to live my life. I itemised my dreams and set a date for its actualisation. I reviewed my vision and set out how to fulfill it.
Now I  must strive to fulfill it cos I know that circumstances (however bad it maybe) does not and cannot stop the fulfilment of dreams. Dreams are conceived in the mind and heart. It can only die there. God also said to me in Jere 29 vs 11 “for I know the thoughts I think towards you; the thought of good and not evil to give me a future and a hope”.
Hi friends. I dont know your story today.
Is it in-ability to gain admission, difficulties in passing your courses and graduating, unemployment, low standard of living, lack of direction. No matter how bad your story is; you can re-write it. Take out time now to re-writre your story.
Write what you desire in life, state it out. Every morning, afternoon and night, bring it out, look at it and confess it. You can be your story.
I have done mine. I know for sure one day my story shall be told. My dream must be made real.
I so much believe Edwin Markham when he said “Ah great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end’, THE DREAM IS TRUE.
Yes one day, we shall live to see our story and dream come true.
congratulations
