Sons & Daughters Needed

It’s the last day in the month of April and I woke up today reminding myself of my origin even when I now have the opportunity to live and study in the country with the 3rd largest economy in the world and perhaps in a matter of time blend with modernity and development.

I reminded myself of Africa, my mother land. I reminded myself of Nigeria, my country of birth. I reminded myself of Lagos, my dwelling city.

I thought of the deprivation and lack that is reigning in these places and I wondered if things will ever get better. I am never a pessimist but I also do not always want to fool myself especially in the face of glaring evidences.

I believe in God and I believe in miracle and these are my only hopes for the coming years with respect to the emancipation of this great continent, Africa.

She has suffered a lot and she needs her sons and daughters to rise and deliver her from her pains. Her children are everywhere and they must heed the clarion call to rescue her now and not tomorrow.

They will need wisdom, commitment, focus, determination and most of all the Spirit of God to free this slave of time and age.

Rise, sons and daughters of my mother land. Rise and wrestle your birth-land from internal and external captors. There is no more time to do this but now. Sons and daughters of Africa needed.
