Mr and Miss Nigerian of our times

MR NIGERIAN!
“It is the value of the citizens of a nation
That makes the worth of that nation.”


Hello Ladies and gentlemen
Fellow Nigerians, Your Excellencies and all Patriots observed…

I will love to introduce myself to you today,
With all enthusiasm and a heart ravish with joy, By saying that,
                       I am a Nigerian.
I am a purposeful Nigerian.
I am a true rare-breed of Nigeria
I am a native of Nigeria.
I love Nigeria,
And I am proud to be called A Nigerian!

My origin is Nigerian!
My blood-type is Nigerian!
My accent speaks Nigerian!
My skin colour depicts Nigerian!
My pains explain, the complains of Nigerians!
My hope sees a Better Nigerian!
And my faith professed that Nigerian!
Yes…I am a blessed Nigerian!

My vision, my mission,
My Decisions, my actions,
My passion and associations
Describe the worth of Nigerians!
Yes…I am a foreign Nigerian!

I am a honourable Nigerian!
I am a responsible Nigerian!
I am a proven Nigerian!
I am a diplomat of Nigeria!
I am a decorated citizen of Nigeria!
I am an indisputable Nigerian!
I am an indispensible Nigerian!
And I am an indestructible Nigerian!
Yes…a Nigerian with a difference!

A Nigerian with direction and passion!
A Nigerian in possession with the obsession
And obligation to fashion Nigeria
To become an enviable indivisible nation
Among other nations
In all ramifications and glorifications!
Yes…this is Nigeria!

Where hopes and dreams never gives up,
Until the carrier naturally gives up!
Where public service pays economic looters
Than economic boosters!
Where fishes in the midst of the sea,
Die in thirst of water and hunger!
Where schooled-dullards easily become the best
Among schooled-brilliants!
Where guardians encourage young Nigerians to practice mal-practice
At the expense of a studious, patriotic lifestyle.
Where round pegs are displaced from round holes
While square peg are tribally fused in round holes!
Where honesty is perceived as stupidity
And hostility to other people’s prosperity!
Where most people are suffering and smiling…
Expecting ‘E go better One Day’!
While others are harboring and gathering treasures Without measures everyday!
Yet… this is Nigeria!

A land flowing with milk and honey!
A land filled with the talented without money!
A land filled with multitude of powerful brains
Yet without a manufactured gain!
A land blessed with treasures and wealth of nations…
Yet without a jewel to behold within our nation!
What a mess!
Yet…this is Nigeria!

A land where the laws are made for the rich!
A land where the laws are blade to the poor!
A land where criminals and murderers are treated as honourable men
A land where the innocent are trampled upon as dishonourable men
A land where the corrupt are turned to celebrity!
A land where the incorrupt are turned to non-entity!
And even casualty of anarchy!
Oh…what a pity…to permit hyper-insincerity
In our entity!
What a pity…to limit credibility
And sponsor infidelity in our vicinity!
Yet…this is Nigeria!
Our own beloved Nation!

Jokes apart;
Nigerians are truly good people!
Nigerians truly lovely people!
Nigerians are truly diligent people!
Nigerians are delightsome people!
Nigerians are just too unique and precious to be toyed with!

Yet…the administrations and dispensations in Nigeria,
Had transformed Nigerians into professional
Pen-robbers, armed robbers, cyber-criminals,
Suicide bombers, ritual-killers, kidnappers,
Traffickers, sex-workers, drug-pushers and corporate-beggar!
Yet…we call this Nigeria?
Our own land of promise?

If Leaders, Parents, Guardians and Traditional rulers
Refuse to check their acts in Nigeria,
Time will check!
And if time fails to check,
Nature will check!
And if nature fails to check,
Patience! Patience! Patience!!!
Will be the only tiny rope
To hold the hopes of Nigerians!
And when this fragile rope cuts-off..
When this emaciated and kwashiorkor hope gives up!
A gruesome and devastating and aggressive revolution
That the world had not witnessed before,
Will take shape,
For the liberation, restoration and glorification
Of our great glorious nation
From the hands of the merciless and ruthless
Oppressors within and outside our dear nation!
                                       Indeed…
This is Nigeria!
Our pride!
Our treasure!!
Our own beloved Nigeria!!!
Yes, our own beloved Nigeria. [Silence key]



---Charles E. Peter
     President BNI
