Not long ago I was reflecting and pondering on what essence and meaning is of the pocket-like protests that was said to have happened scatteredly in Lagos, Abuja and U.K by the aggrieved Nigerians both home and abroad, who felt it patriotic to express their indignant at the effect of the economic- hardship from recession, there then I fell into a deep sleep where I had an experience of a trance-like sojourn through which I got a message from the spiritual realm "with some combined hands joining together and writing on a wall of the haven thus below
" TAKING US FOR A RIDE; LEADING US TO A REVOLT.
Promptly I look for a meaning to this above written expression but simultaneously and spontaneously the combined hands through the fingers again came back on the wall expressively to continue as thus;
OR DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
1. A DRIVER THAT BUYS UNFIT TYRE FOR FIXING TO A BUS WHEEL FOR TRANSPORTATION CALLS FOR COMMUTERS ANGER PROVIDED SOME ARE SAFE IF ANY MISHAP HAPPENED .
2. A FOOD-SELLER USING ROTTEN PEPPER TO PREPARE FOOD FOR STUDENTS CALLS FOR THE SCHOLARS ANGER ANYTIME AS THEY CONSTRAINED THEMSELVES TO BEAR THE POOR TASTE.
3. A PARENT THAT CARE-LESS OF WHAT BECOMES OF HIS CHILDREN FUTURE INVITES BLAME FROM THEM EVENTUALLY .
4. A TEACHER THAT TEACHES STUDENTS WRONG METHODS OF SOLVING QUESTIONS MUST ONE DAY STANDS IN TO FACE THEIR IMPUDENCE .
5. A CONTRACTOR THAT PAY-LESS WAGES TO HIS LABOURERS MUST ONE DAY BE DISSAPOINTED TO WITNESS A BOYCOTT-ACTION FROM THEM PROVIDED THEY ARE NOT VIOLENT WITH HIM.
6. A HIGH-RANKING PARA-MILITARY OFFICER THAT CHEATS ON HIS LIEUTENANTS WILL ONE DAY INCURE THEIR FACE-OFF WITH HIM.
7. LEADERSHIP THAT DEPRIVES THE FOLLOWER-SHIP OF THEIR RIGHTS WOULD EVENTUALLY LOSE THE LEGITIMACY FROM THE AUTHORITY BEING VESTED ON THEM TO DIRECT THE AFFAIRS OF THE STATE.
SO A SITUATION OF UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRIVILEGED AND LESS-PRIVILEGED IS LIKE SITTING ON A KEG OF GUN-POWDER; SO LET EVERYBODY PLAYS HIS OR HER ROLE RIGHTLY WELL AND USES PRIVILEGE AS CONSTITUTIONALLY AND HUMANLY EXPECTED.
Quickly I woke up from this trance-like experience sweating profusely and anxious to know I must instantly relay it to us all, so that we know Nigeria is a nation we must all guide, guard and nurture into greatness jealously rather than cause any senseless havoc to her wholeness.
At least; I PLEDGE TO NIGERIA MY COUNTRY, TO BE FAITHFUL, LOYAL AND HONEST , TO SERVE NIGERIA WITH ALL MY STRENGTH, TO DEFEND HER UNITY AND UPHOLD HER HONOUR AND GLORY, SO HELP ME GOD.
And this is the soothing but lasting words of allegiance and loyalty through patriotism to be a good and true NIGERIAN. And see to it that we relate with one another and whosoever living within and without and especially the members of the nation's heterogeneous tribes, without fear, favour, bias nor hatred but love everybody always and rebuke anyone of unworthy acts to bring clog to the wheel of our nation's progress , stability and peace.
NIGERIA; GREAT NATION, NIGERIANS; GOOD PEOPLE, STAY BLESSED ALWAYS
