Little Known African History 101

Do you know that Late Chief Anthony Enahoro‘s mother http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Enahoro and Archbishop Olubumi Okogie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Olubunmi_Okogie were born of the same father, King Ogbidi Okojie 1 of Uromi Royal Dynastyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogbidi_Okojie Archbishop Olubumi Okojie (as his mum is yoruba, letter ‘g’ is always put in place of letter ‘j’ so it is always spelled Okogie, but both names are from the same family).

I Have a Dream Nigeria

By Princess Asha

I have a Dream Nigeria that there was a rebirth of conscience in our leaders, both the young and old alike came out of the wilderness in solidarity and became the new face of nation building.

I have a Dream Nigeria that we were no longer defined by ethnicity, corruption, radicalism or religion but by heroism and patriotism.

I have a Dream Nigeria that the tears and pains of our motherland gave birth to a new nation, our land flourished once again with resources, innovation and technology to heal, feed and provide for the poor, and destitute.

I have a Dream Nigeria that the conscience of Nigeria returned back to Nigerians and that the oppressed and forgotten danced to the sound of freedom, equality and justice for all.

I have a Dream Nigeria that change may not come easy,  and will come at a cost or perhaps, may not happen in our life time, but because the young and old dare to dream dreams of a better tomorrow, Nigeria will wake up from its sleeping slumber by kiss of destiny, and that history is waiting on you to be written.
