Where are the leaders?
It was in the year 1963 and Nigeria's first
and only Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar
Tafawa Balewa took his annual leave and
was off to his village to spend it. Then a
British photojournalist came along but they
told him the that the PM had gone on
vacation.
The photojournalist then asked to which
country but he was shocked when they
told him the PM went to spend the
vacation in his own village. To satisfy his
curiosity, he decided to travel to the
village. But on getting to the village, there
was no sign that a big man was in town.
Everyone went on their normal business
and the village was peacefully quiet.
Then he met a farmer along the way with
his donkey carrying bales of sugarcane, and
he asked from the farmer the house of the
PM. The photojournalist was again left
speechless when the farmer told him that
he had just left the PM and that if he gets
to the PM's house, which he described, he
would meet him sitting on the bare floor
with his kids enjoying the sugarcane that
he gave them.
The British photojournalist was dazed when
he reached the PM's home. This is the
picture that he took. May the labours of
our heroes past never be in vain.
Today, we have vagabonds and thieves in
power. Those who disturb an entire city
with sirens and their empty noises of
vanity. Those who loot the treasury of an
entire nation and still insult our common
intelligence with their embarrassing
incompetence. Nigeria has all it takes to
become the greatest nation on earth. All
we need are visionary, dedicated and
inspiring leaders and not the shameless
rogues and incorrigibly kleptomaniac
bandits who lie, rob, cheat, rig and kill
their way to power.
WHEN IT IS TIME TO VOTE, REMEMBER
YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN AND USE YOUR
HEAD. HAVE A NICE DAY.
