Inspirational Quotes

LATE DR NELSON MANDELA SAY THIS ABOUT NIGERIA

Nigeria leaders today should not forget the words of this great man. 

 

“You know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are.
“What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money?
“What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now, we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen.
“Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education.
“Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy…give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.” Weldone great leader you have captured it all...this what we nigerians are truely missing, a selfless leader, a leader with vision & mission, a true servant with great statemanship. But what do we have...looters, criminals, thieves, self-centers, thugs, ethno-tribal-religion-sentimentals... They dont mind the senseless killing of innocent nigerians, as long as they hold onto power and loot more public wealth. To all these failed leaders, may you never find peace here on EARTH & HEREAFTER! Amen
