Honestly, this is an honest
opinion by Mr. Honest…lol
A public affairs analyst Offor
Honest has written another wonderful article on the 2015 election and the need
to make the best choice in this critical period. Find the interesting write-up
after the cut…and don’t forget to drop your comment on the topic.
Fellow Nigeria youths, this is a
defining moment for us. In 38 days, our country will go to the polls. It is a
contest that will determine the fate of our nation. We can either emerge from
this election as one people or fall to the doomsday prediction that there may
be no Nigeria after 2015.
The fate of our dear nation hangs
precariously on the balance and destiny has thrust upon our young shoulders the
task of safeguarding our common heritage.
We have the most stakes in the
conglomerate called Nigeria. If anything happens to our country, we are the
generation that will be most affected. Our future is before us, our aspirations
and dreams, glorious as they may, be cannot be realized if our nation crumbles
in ruins.
Our responsibility in the coming
days should therefore be to unite this fractured union.
We must not join our fathers and
grandfathers whose lives are already spent, in playing politics with religion
and region.
We must not yield our strength to
vices that will compromise the integrity of the election and threaten the unity
of our union.
The mission of our generation is
to ensure that this union does not disintegrate in our time. Our founding
fathers fought for our independence in their prime, it is now our duty to
protect her sanctity in our time.
We must preserve this nation so
that our children after us can have a country they can call home.
Our choice at the polls will
define how our nation will be governed but our choice after the elections will
determine whether there will even be a nation to govern. We must therefore make
both choices with patriotic consideration.
Where we are today as a nation,
is a consequence of our past choices. We can have a better country if we make a
better choice this time around. Our choices should not only be for the good of
our family, friends or region; it should be for the interest of every Nigerian
whether Muslim or Christian, Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba.
We must not allow our regional or
religious allegiance blind us to the realities of the present. If we choose
sentiment over commonsense in the coming election, we will be choosing to
remain in the past. If we take up arms after the election, we will be
destroying our future and those of others after us.
Fellow Nigerians, fate calls us
to duty. Let it not be said of us by future generations that we did nothing
when our nation needed our help the most.
In the immortal words of
Shakespeare;
There is a tide in the affairs of
men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads
to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their
life,
Is bound in shallows and in
miseries
On such a full sea (Nigeria) is
now afloat
And we must take the current when
it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
May God bless you and may God
bless our country Nigeria.
