COMMON PURPOSE THAT WILL DRIVE THE NIGERIAN DREAM

EDITOR'S NOTE

Previously, God has shown us the differences in  the nature of the three sons of Mr. Nigeria along political, economic and even religious lines. We have discovered that these differences were the deliberate workings of the All-wise creator intended to beautify us and accentuate our greatness in the community of nations rather than divide us.

As we promised in the last edition, in this third and concluding part of the series "God's Blueprint for Nigeria", we bring to you the Common Purpose That Will Drive The Nigerian Dream.

Friend, I testify that reading this post has sufficiently enlightened me so much so that I could easily predict the future of Nigeria if and when God's recommendations are followed as outlined.

Naija, I bear witness with God and the author, Macpaul Ifeanyichukwu Okolo, "we don't need common blood to live together; all we need is a common purpose..." And HERE IS IT.
Read on and discover God's blueprint on the common purpose that will drive the Nigerian dream. 

 COMMON PURPOSE THAT WILL DRIVE THE NIGERIAN DREAM

 The three sons of Mr. Nigeria have each received blessings from the all-wise creator, each according to the measure of his ability.

As we concluded before, in order to actualize their God-given destinies,  Mr. Nigeria must create a conducive environment that fosters the pursuit of a COMMON PURPOSE that allows each one to freely deploy his God-given abilities, skills and natural endowments as well as pursue his happiness within the framework of written rules without any hinderances!

I am obliged to repeat that God is NOT talking about a socioeconomic vision often tied to specific period like Vision 2020. Rather, God is talking about a document that will not only outline a political and social engineering but will serve as a MORAL COMPASS that galvanizes various interests into a common pursuit that drives the Nigerian Dream without hindering their differences.

Often people talk about constitution as if it is a strange lucky charm. Whereas before a constitution will be useful, it must be seen more as a moral compass than a legal instrument.
It is this moral strength of the document that drives national behavior instead of waking up in the middle of nowhere to begin national orientation with mere slogans and media headlines.
(It is important to make sure that this document of common purpose is jointly written by the brothers themselves because two cannot walk together unless they agreed.)

Hitherto, the three sons of Mr. Nigeria have wasted lots of precious time trying to navigate into their future without using the proper compass.

As it is with individuals, families and corporations, a nation does not get what she wishes but what she is.
Nigeria can only rise, overcome her challenges and achieve greatness by drawing up a charter of common purposes that will drive the Nigerian dream.

The common purpose will revolve around the following:
1. HOW WE WANT TO LIVE (Life philosophy)
2. HOW WE WANT TO WORSHIP (Religious Values)
3. HOW TO WORK (Work Culture)
4. HOW TO REST AND RECREATE (Enjoying Life OR Leisure Ideals)

1. HOW WE WANT TO LIVE

First of all, we must admit that man is a free moral agent. Therefore, any society that tries to deny his rights or limit his freedom will meet with anarchy.
Consequently, OUR FOREMOST PURPOSE IS TO LIVE AS FREE PEOPLE WHOSE RIGHTS ARE GUARANTEED AND PROTECTED. That is, an egalitarian society where justice, equity and equal rights for all reign supreme.
In 1815, all the rulers of Europe agreed to adopt the teachings of Christ on charity, peace and justice as the basis for their foreign policy (and civilization). Nigeria can do the same.

2. HOW WE WANT TO WORSHIP

History confirms that the two foremost religions share a common ancestry - both are from the lineage of the Patriarch Abraham. Similarly, both believe in the existence of one supreme Almighty God / Allah. Thus, (WE SHOULD SHARE A COMMON THANKSGIVING / PRAYER DAY TO THANK GOD FOR UNFAILING HARVESTS AND ASK HIM FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS.)

3. HOW TO WORK

No matter how legally sound a constitution is, without a moral duty to work, poverty and rags will overtake such society.
We should emphasize WORK, FOR WORK IS GOOD. Work is the common denominator of every economic system in the world. There is no economic system that can work without work.
Work is the only economic activity you don't need to go to school, earn a degree or have money before you can do - EVERYONE CAN WORK.

4. REST AND RECREATION

We must think up and agree on how we want to rest and recreate. Whatever is not recharged will discharge. No one can sustain inspiration/motivation and maximize productivity without adequate rest and recreation. Where there is no rest, people go blind in their soul.
We must make it a part of the Nigerian dream that REST IS A GIFT FROM GOD WE MUST ENJOY!
When people are tired, they lose steam and become unproductive; they make more mistakes, cause great damage and incur losses.
Sad but true, this is where Nigeria has been in the past 50yrs.

This is the time to move on to the Nigerian dream driven by COMMON PURPOSE.
Naija, we don't need common blood to live as one, all we need is a common purpose.

Nigeria is a good land, follow your dream.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Amen.

GOD'S BLUEPRINT FOR NIGERIA [Part 1]

GOD'S BLUEPRINT FOR NIGERIA [Part 1] By Macpaul Ifeanyichukwu Okolo These three were the sons of Noah and from these the whole earth was populated. [Gen.9:19] NAIJA, WE BE BRETHREN - Though not born by one mother, we have common ancestry. NAIJA, WE BE BRETHREN God gave a man named Nigeria three sons.   One is named Feudal, another Monarchy and the other is named Republican. Feudal's nature is do mineering, Monarchy is imperialistic while Republican's nature is egalitarian equality and justice for all. Feudal can only prosper in feudalism - a type of government where one powerful fief will wield control over an estate, and be dominant. Monarchy will succeed naturally in an environment where every citizen is subservient to the king while Republican can only thrive in a government where power belongs to the people and equal rights reign. Remember that these men are the three sons of one man called Nigeria. Now let us...   1. Figur...

GOD’S BLUEPRINT FOR NIGERIA [Part 2]

GOD'S BLUEPRINT FOR NIGERIA [PART 2]   By Macpaul Ifeayichukwu Okolo CHANGE BRINGS PROGRESS IT IS NOT PROGRESS THAT BRINGS CHANGE BAD ATTITUDE HINDERS PROGRESS - Macpaul I. Okolo   FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Thank you for following us as God unveils His blueprint for our dear nation, Nigeria . Today, we will find out the kind of change God wants for N igeria and Nigerians.   Now, the story continues...   Aside from the difference in the political nature of the three sons of Mr. Nigeria, there are clear differences in other areas of their lives, their economy for example. Feudal’s nature favours MONOPOLY; Monarchy favours STATE CONTROLLED ECONOMY while Republican favours FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM.   From birth, these brothers had played down these natural propensities, whereas in truth they are forces that cannot be ignored. God will have Nigerians know everyone’s socio-political nature is an endowment from God and it dictates ...

WELCOME TO NATIONAL PULPIT... Speaking for God over Nigeria and Africa

This is National Pulpit... Sharing God's Views on National Issues. No one can act or react beyond the amount of information available to him/her. So, mind what you hear for what you hear determines what you see, what you see determines what you think, your thoughts determine what you say, and what you say determines what you do; invariably, what you do determines what you will become. Likewise, who you are is a product of what you do; what you do reveals what you know; what you know is the fruit of your source; your source is your quality; and your quality distinguishes you. Nigeria is where it is because of the quality [NOT quantity] of information available to her. As you may know, there are many people speaking about Nigeria.... each one speaking and acting according to the quality of information available to him or her. Whatever their motives, everyone speaks according to his own views which are largely coloured by the nature and/or biases of his sour...
