Under Jonathan our insecurity has infected neighbouring countries

2015 is a decisive year. It is a year of decision; it will determine the hopes and aspirations of millions of Nigerians, young and old and even generation yet unborn. It is a golden opportunity for our political leaders to decide for the majority, whether we are going to fulfill the American prophecy that Nigeria’ existence may be terminated or we shall throw such prophecy into the trash can. Nigeria will be weighed by the American Author, Bernard De Voto’s book titled: “ The Year of Decision.”
The author looked at the American war with Mexico, which led to the annexation of New Mexico, Arizona and Califonia, and how America settled her long-smoldering dispute with Great Britain and became a sovereign nation in Oregon, thus beginning the process of making the South West and West Coast a part of the American Republic.
The situation in Nigeria today is not rosy, but we cannot continue to lament over the economic downturn, insecurity of lives and property, mass youth unemployment, poor infrastructure, haphazard educational policy and poor power supply to sustain industries. What must be done will be to review our political leaders’ efforts in the last 15 years and x-ray the opportunities they have had to better our lots, and do a comparative analysis of the missed opportunities and look ahead to attempt at correcting the wrongs of the past. According to John F. Kennedy: “ Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past; let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”
