Crises of the Republic, "On Violence"
Events of the early hours of Friday, October 1st 2010 serves as confirmation that there exists in our Nation, enemies of progress and development. The bomb blast which killed and injured many people was an act of terrorism. What image did the perpetrators intend to portray to the international community, that our country is not safe and incapable of growth and stability? They continue to use our continued decay to their selfish and criminal advantage. We must purge these unscrupulous persons from our Home land.
Dimeji Bankole, Honorable speaker of the House of Assembly blamed the lack of accountability in the Nigerian government on the electorate, our inability to demand transparency from our elected representatives in public service positions allows for politicians to squander our public funds and use the police to protect their ill gotten wealth. We must purge these unscrupulous persons from our society and send them to jail.
It is time we as leaders of tomorrow become socially aware of our predicament, we must promote unity, patriotism, peace and progress. We must be the change we want to see in our great Country. If we continue to be uncaring and lackadaisical to the issue of governance in Nigeria, before our eyes we would watch as rogues and thieves run us into the ground while we rot in self pity and sorrow. We must purge ourselves of this despondency, shake away negative attitudes and embrace proactive initiatives.
The future of this great nation is in our hands, we must protect and defend it.
Thank you.
