It is a great delight to respond to the inspiration to drop a few lines of thought with you, my compatriots. In the spirit of gratitude,
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a good morning here and may it be so for you in peace and wellness! we remember our roots and thank God for giving us the land that identifies us in this earthly sojourn and pilgrimage. Successive years and centuries have been filled with clear evidence, testimonies and marvels of God, whose mercies have been beyond measure.
The remarkable resourcefulness and profound spiritual and human gifts of our people resonate with greatness and serve as a wellspring of inspiration. As I celebrate our rich heritage, it prompts me to contemplate our fatherland and the numerous squandered opportunities. The immense potential for greatness instills in me a deep resolve to make this appeal on behalf of our beloved country.
Without a doubt, the path to living hope and national recovery hinges on the establishment of justice and fairness, government accountability, capital injection, increased opportunities, support for wealth creation institutions, the rule of law, and social coexistence. From the limited prism of my perspective, the lives of many Diaspora Nigerians in all your ramifications are deployed to creating a free, just and prosperous society for all. You are committing yourselves to an ongoing self-gift for the common good. You outstandingly create value and generate wealth, and I wish you success as I felicitate you all.
The current state of our nation serves as a stark example of how the seven social sins, as listed by Mahatma Gandhi, can wreak havoc on a society. It’s up to each of us to contribute to the rescue of our homeland. To truly grasp this message, let’s reflect on Gandhi’s seven social sins: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Business without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, and Politics without principle.
I completely agree with Edmund Burke’s assertion that evil prevails when good people do nothing. Although it may seem like we are powerless in the face of the destructive forces threatening our homeland, we are not. It’s tempting to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that everything is fine, or that we can’t make a difference. However, instead of succumbing to the darkness or bemoaning it, we can choose to light a candle.
