A group of different communities with interesting cultural
background though living in their own settlements was invaded by some
foreigners many years ago.
After the invasion and conquering by the foreigners
based on super power and diplomacy, these communities were merged together to
form a clan. There was unity and relative calmness which the foreigners
leveraged on to exploit this new clan. This situation occurred for many years
until the elite members of this clan came together to discover that the
foreigners were using them as slaves and to their undoing while developing
their foreign land at their servitude.
The unity and love this clan had was the major backbone for
their joint effort to oust this foreigners who over exploited their human and
natural resources. At the end the foreigners left and were out of their land.
The clan enjoyed relative peace and progress and the sailing was smooth as
there was some level of autonomy the
communities were enjoying under their clanship. The elites who fought these
invaders were united, patriotic and selfless. They all believed in mutual
tolerance and love
for the Clan.
However along the lines some years later they had a fracas
which led to a war among these communities. Because the conflict was much there
were records of loss of lives and properties. However they were able to
reconcile among themselves and saw the need to remain in their clanship as they
all will be better off as a united group of people.
Though there was still a good course to follow in attaining the same ideals the foreigners who
invaded them earlier on and annexed them together had, yet greed, selfishness,
pride and corruption, ethnoreligious sentiments, nepotism sprung up in their
midst. They left the common good of the clan to follow vanities and loot their
common treasure. Those who were unfortunate to loot as much as they could felt
deprived and those who actually looted became the Lords and kingmakers. There
was hope that successive leaders and administration could cement the bridge and
restore back the lost confidence and reposition this clan to greatness
surpassing the level which the foreigners recorded many years ago but all to no
avail, as it seem to be a case of one falling down from the frying pan into the
oven.
The whole clan is complaining, food is scarce, security of
lives and properties is at its ebbs, while the clamour for the disintegration
of the clan by one of the aggrieved communities is at its apogee, untold
stories of hardship which were never heard during the days the foreigners were
exploiting this clan is now a common news talk. Many seem to lose hope, after
series of blame of different administration manning the affairs of this clan
and feel like nothing can be done that the clan is at its wits end having
encountered their Achilles heel.
However a group of people who were not the creators of these
problems but through history and science been an integral origin of this clan
have heard and experienced the problems that this clan is facing and have come
together to reposition this clan to greatness. Trying to assuage all thoughts
of indifference, marginalization and resentment by all the communities in this
clan. They have come with ideas and ideals that are anchored on zero corruption,
spirit of brotherhood and selflessness, integrity, accountability and pragmatic
solutions of ingenuity to the cries of the people of this clan.
This clan is Nigeria and the Communities are the ethnic
nationalities we have in our country.
Will you fold your hands and continue to cry and feel
indifferent? Since we all are members of this clan do we maintain the status
quo of political cabalism, lootocracy, chronic wickedness sandwiched with
propaganda by our elder statesmen and political leaders, deceit and
ethnoreligious chauvinism?
Is it nothing to you that this same problems is what we want
to leave behind for our children unborn and posterity?
Is it nothing to you that if a criminal in point A relocates
to Point B under the same economic and political circumstance that his likely
to commit the same crime when the opportunities show forth?
For the Sake of posterity lets restore our clan back to the
days of our founding fathers in the Early 60's!
Join this group of young minds whose only target and dream
is SECURING A PEACEFUL, UNITED, PROGRESSIVE,
CORRUPTION-FREE NIGERIA FOR NOW AND POSTERITY.
