NATIONAL INTEREST

Five minutes ago, I listened to the 'Acting President' give an 'acceptance speech' after the National Assembly passed a resolution for Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to become 'Acting President'. It is about 3 weeks since we (SaveNigeriaGroup) marched from Arch-Bishop Vining Memorial (Ikeja-GRA) to Lagos state Government House in Alausa, to demand a resolution of the Leadership crisis in Nigeria.

Jan 21 will be a memorable day. The day I did more than just praying... I worked and prayed...actually WALKED and prayed to 'Save Nigeria' from the unrepentant cabal of evil men. Now I know freedom is cheap... it only cost me "2 Hours N200". Two hours of absence from work (not to worry, I have repaid my employer by working... on the Strategy Slides the next Saturday) and N200 to bike from Govt House, Alausa to my office: Ikeja-GRA.

I declined the advice of my Snr.Professor in Swaziland and plea of my concerned sister in P/Harcourt...and was true to my spirit. The generation of my Father WATCHED...My own generation PRAY (used to PRAY!) but I chose to act. The walk was long...the pain was much but the gain is Promising....
For one, I got over the cramps from the last Saturday match i played. I saw grey-haired women who chose this path of honour..old men who abandoned the comforts of their estates...while some young-guys stayed on their jobs... thank God they still have one.

Our demands were clear: *Make our leaders accountable (so much half-truths from Foreign Minister, PDP, BBC) *We dont want any 'Voice-over recording' from President Yar'adua... let him return home to lead or 'return' power to another. *Resolution of energy crisis (electricity n fuel),Passage of FOI Bill,Stoppage of the crazy-loot etc
Apparently, nothing has been (neither will be) won until the life of the average Nigerian is dignified. Join the budding 'critical mass' of active participants in rebuilding this entity called Nigeria. Long live the People in Nigeria!!!
