Utopia???!!!!!!!
Is it utopian
to say what should be?
To desire a
country that should be
Wrapped in
freedom, peace and unity...
I want...
I want a
Nigeria where politics is not based on your pocket.
I want a
Nigeria where politics is not based on your friends.
I want a
Nigeria where politics is not based on thuggery and the propensity of cultism.
I want a
Nigeria where politics is not based on pedigree and class stratification.
I want a
Nigeria where politics is not based on the number of people you have murdered
and your ability to criticize.
I want a
Nigeria where politics is not based on negative stratagem
Utopia???!!!!!!!
I want a Nigeria
where politics is based on your positive content
I want a
Nigeria where the politicians have pedigree in politics not family.
Where right
from a certain age a child's strengths are defined and schooled along the lines
of political leadership.
Then we would
have no fear of the wrong political leadership at the elections.
A crop of
people discipled from childhood for the main purpose of ruling Nigeria with
unbroken loyalty to the growth and holistic development of the country.
I want a
Nigeria where accountability is a blessing not a curse.
I want a
Nigeria where the leaders have strength of character and obedience to the
sanctity of marriage and single-hood.
Where women
and men do not take philandering as the pecks of office.
I want a
Nigeria where when we say no to evil we won't be locked up in a dungeon for
years and be subject to euthanasia.
I want a
Nigeria where good is celebrated and evil is eschewed.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
where
elections will be free and fair not ruthlessly dashed to pieces on the
political playground of greed, self aggrandizement and power drunkenness.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
where the democratic government dare not make a fool of themselves and have the
president rule a country in absentia.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
where the idea of democracy is upstanding and good intentioned for citizens to
run for public office without the fear of selectionism or bias.
Where Politics
is a profession and career based on the process of actualizing the need to
serve.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
Where it is
not rife with the blame game, but a country where public and political office
holders are accountable for their actions and a thousand years of political
drudgery would be as a ripple in the ocean.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
Where the
cradle is not beleaguered by corruption and war: their families don't miss
them! Where we develop patriotic loyalists teach and train them on the Nigeria
we must see.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
Where we
shall run like mighty men; overcome world challenges like men of war; and they
shall march everyone on his ways, they shall not break their ranks: Neither
shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and when they
fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Makes me
dream
Of a nation
Where every
man: young and old rests in peace under the shade of his own tree
Utopia???!!!!!!!
Aye or nay?
Reality!!!
