Can We Start Living Like Better Nigerians? by oldie(m): 4:19pm On Nov 06, 2008
The election of Obama has set me thinking
What lessons can we learn as Nigerians from his victory?

Like I wrote many posts ago, his victory would give me the “I feel good” emotions just because he is a capable black man and it has!

Beyond this, he set for himself, a goal he strived to achieve despite all obstacles
The result of this achievement will make the world a better and friendly place!

I have been on this forum for about a year now and our sentiments to our tribes/
ethnicity and religion are very emotive.

Can we apply the same emotions to being better Nigerians?

Can we all start making every effort to always give our best as Nigerians?
Not blaming the system, our tribe/ethnicity for our individual failures?
Can we rise above the system to give our best?
The American system is not perfect
No system is

Obama has set a very good example for us all
That when we are the best in what we do, no collective evil can deter us?

Can we start in our own little worlds to begin to do the right things as Nigerians?

Can we just give it a try?
Collectively we can banish the “Nigerian evil and stigma”

Obama did
Individually as Nigerians we CAN!
