Political Transition in Nigeria: Nigerians Awake!

As i peaked through the windows of internet, i peered into the present political transition in Nigeria. I began to wonder. As a speaker, is this the time to speak up? If we are not orientating people in the direction of National change; we may help them to attain temporal individual change, but the policy of the politics will squash that which we have planted in them. Is it true that we may need to review what we are speaking per time based on the immediate societal need? Martin Luther king moved from the pulpit to the Civil right movement..."I have a Dream!".If we sit in our arm chair , hiding in our corner under the guise of fear. We stand to lose all what we got.

It dawned on me that one of the things Nigerians need most at this season is to appreciate the power of standing up and getting counted. You have to stand up for something. And it does not have to be popular. But you got to stand up for something! The question is: Are we standing up at all? And if we are standing up, our stand for something could be our last chance to turn the tide around at this crucial moment. There must be a deliberate move towards democracy in Nigeria which goes beyond who you are standing with.It has to go beyond buying into the common bribery with some Naira notes to win voters' support.It is now a matter of what you are standing for!

I'm just thinking of the power of synergy and what it can create if the new breeds of Aspirants out there can tap into it. We all understand that there is a Global SHIFT. As it happened for Barack Obama & Hilary Clinton in the USA.It can happen in Nigeria beacuse it takes more than one of these New Breed of politicians to chase that devil of disorder & corruption out of Nigeria. I mean our National destiny is about to be shaped and birth afresh. I believe this is an era of the new breeds. There is a global shift in the world's political sphere. Everything that has been like monument is moving...the old order is shifting. It is no longer about the power of incumbency or godfather-ism. It is now about who is the man of the people? Who is that leader with a vision? Who is seeing the change? Who is the Aspirant of the future? And then what am i standing for?
Yes! "Maximus is the son of the future..." (we know according to "The Gladiator") but are we recognizing our own Maximus? Nigerians! Are we seeing the potentials of leadership in our Maximus? Are we identifying the leader with a vision? How are we supporting our Maximus? Do we understand that this impending shift in the global politics must not pass us by? This global phenomenon must rub off on Nigeria, if we don't want to fall in misalignment and out of sync. Going contrary will affect our international trade, economy and more? Hence, we are doomed for the next decade ahead! The moral is: Listen for the Manifesto and follow the leader with a vision. What are you doing to help the new breed of Politicians get into power?
