MY DREAM FOR NIGERIA (A Glimpse Into The Future) By Esther Esuga
Several images are fashioned in my heart; I carry them every day, everywhere I go. A.P.J Abdul Kalam says: ‘Dreams are not those you have while sleeping, but those that don’t let you sleep.’
I see a place where education would be of excellent standard. Products of our educational system can match that of any other system in the world. It is going to be a place where every child would have the right to education. Children and young adults would not be found on the streets hawking assorted goods while their contemporaries in other parts of the world are probably in class receiving lectures. The place I see is such that there would be seasoned teachers engaged in our educational sector, having conducive classes for learning, laboratories and libraries with basic equipment and materials for learning.
My dream for my country is to have a home where lack of power would become history. We won’t have our infants become comfortable to sleep despite the noise and air pollution that emanates from the use of generators. I dream of a home where constant power supply would become a huge boost to infant and established industries, resulting into low cost of production.
I see that peace would be personified in Nigeria. The subject matter of crisis ranging from religious to political matters would not exist hence, causing restriction in terms of movement. People can freely travel from one geo-political zone to another. I see a situation where families can afford to have low fences and sit in front of their houses and chat as they watch people pass by without fear. People can park their cars in front of shopping malls, churches, mosques, on the streets and are not anxious to return because the longer they stay away the higher the chances of them losing their cars to robbers.
I wish to see a Nigeria where her youths would be gainfully employed for skilled and unskilled labour and would not be denied their due wages and salaries respectively. The imagery of youths roaming the streets of Nigeria with files containing their certificates would be a thing of the past as they would become engaged constructively.
Just as Abraham Lincoln defines democracy as a” government of the people, by the people, for the people”, it’s my desire for every citizen to experience good governance. To have an administration that is ready to serve its citizens, loyal and accountable to their people. Leaders that would be true representatives of the people, it is pertinent they listen to their people and relate as partners in progress.
My dream for my country is endless. I am determined to contribute my quota in making Nigeria a better place. I desire to stand for truth, follow due process, respect the laws and support the spirit of positive activism to push Nigeria forward. I want to make a difference. I see a Nigeria that will flourish!!!
