Who, among leaders in "developed" countries, or countries we call "civilized", will abandon the people they are elected to serve only to serve Nigerian Africans first? In particular, who, among Swiss leaders, American leaders, German leaders, British leaders, Canadian leaders, French leaders, Italian leaders, Japanese leaders will be stealing from his/her own people only to open bank accounts in Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, Rwanda, Somalia, Kenya, Zaire, Ethiopia, Uganda? Or, who, among leaders in "industrialized" countries, will be buying plots of lands and houses in Togo, Sierra Leon, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Gambia, Liberia, or Zimbabwe? The answer to the above questions is obvious and simple: NONE. None of them has a bank account in our country or continent, and probably never will.
Our leaders must do what leaders of the "civilized" countries are doing in their own countries - saving their countries' money in their own banks, not in Nigerian or African banks. To develop, we must deposit our country's money in our own banks. That is leadership. That is patriotism. That is the law of Nature -- a point well understood even in animal kingdom; hence, lions do not kill their preys only to leave them for hynas. For details, kindly click here. |
President Nelson Mandela - My Hero
"Hearing the elders' stories of his ancestors valour during the wars of resistance in defence of their fatherland, Mandela dreamed of making his own contribution to the freedom struggle of his people."
"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Here is more.
