Catch this flight OR?

Flight Number CHANGE ready for take off
Shaky start because the runway is rough
Only the brave stand to be counted
In the midst of a people dejected.
Its time to become responsible for our Nation
In times of socio-edu-economic demotion
Its time to contribute our own little portion
Nothing is insignificant in providing a solution
Enough of Ndigboism and Afeniferism
It’s time to promote Nigerianism
This flight wont land without a good fight
Each one has to play his own part
Even if we got our independence without bloodshed,
Should we become slaves in our own shed?
If Congo, Sudan, Liberia and Zimbabwe don’t make us reason
We'd will be lucky to escape becoming another lesson
Flight No CHANGE ready for take off
A collective vision driven by love
Tiv, Ibibio, Fulani and Kanuri
There’s enough space for all and sundry

Vacancy! Apply now!

Vacancy! New Gs Needed!I hate critics expecially when they've not provided any solutions. I believe that being a critic is one of the most degrading jobs any rational human being should take except that nowadays they make a lot of money from those empty noises.
But I love Gani! He lived what He said! He never criticised what He had not tried. Gani sent people to schools, provided food for the poor, Clothed the naked, fought for the helpless, giving them justice for free!
I watched Raji Fashola's speech on thursday and I cannot help but echo his thoughts. Gani served everyone irrespective of his religious alienations or culture. He granted scholarships in many states miles away from his home town, He fought for anybody, Christain or Muslim, a true Nigerian indeed.
If I was asked to define Gani, I would have said: extremely unselfish, selflessly developmental, over patrotic, action man, the best Nigerian that ever lived!
As we seek for change, its imperative that we learn and imbibe the values the Senior Advocate of the Masses lived with. More Ganis need to rise. A one man army has left, its time to start a one-nation army. An army of people touched by one man, not divided by ethicity or religious inclinations.
