Look around you, is this the Nigeria great men like Nnamdi Azikwe, Awolowo, and Tarfa Balewa envisaged?. If they could all see what our Country has become, won’t they role in their graves. When fighting for independence, did our fore fathers plan kidnapping, militancy, worthless education, wide scale corruption, lack of infrastructure and basic health care system as the norm?
With the resources available to this Nation, we are still suffering from underdevelopment, which is nothing but a shame. This is because leaders for the past 50 years have done nothing but ignore the plight of the masses; they have stolen public funds and built for themselves riches in foreign countries while you and I wallow in our misery. I call them a failed generation.
The mantle to lead this great Country would soon be put in the hands of our generation, what would we do in our time? I know one thing for sure, we would do a better job, we would learn from the mistakes of our shameless leaders and build a country our children would be proud of.
As future Law makers, we must see ourselves not only as officers in the temple of justice but also as crusaders in the fight for good governance and socio-economic development. We must make Nigeria a better place for ourselves and others.
God bless Nigeria and everywhere else.
