Help! An Accidental Nation by Pascaldebravoo: 11:28am On Dec 14, 2021
What is a nation? According to Oxford Dictionaries, a nation is defined as a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. But what of when a nation is accidental? It means there was no proper plan before the nation was birth. It just happened unexpectedly. So it was a product of chance. But When u look at the definition of a nation, there is something that is so cardinal—and that is UNITY. No nation without plan, strategy, and unity of purpose will ever stand the test of time. The bible says that "a kingdom that is divided against itself cannot stand". It's an eternal truth that cannot be disputed.
And it's worthy of note that any nation on planet earth that shows this characteristic stated above will, as matter of fact, fail. If that nation chooses to pretend instead of acknowledging the warning signals and doing the right thing, it is just a matter of time, that nation will collapse.

It is madness for a nation to keep bombarding and killing its citizens thinking that that will suddenly bring peace and security. When what needs to be done is crying out loud and clear on top of a high mountain but her leaders have chosen to ignore and beat about the bush. Such thinking is not only flawed but myopic. Tell me how can a nation stand the test of time when it's clueless on how to proffer solutions to her problems. No intellectually dependent nation will endure organic and inorganic pressures of life when they arise. Such a nation is doomed to failure. A nation that shamelessly cries to other nations of the world to come and solve her problems, instead of getting her acts together, has no balls and it's not fit to be a nation.

A nation majority of her citizens only wants to become politicians, not because they want to proffer solutions to the myriads of problems bedeviling the nation but to steal from her and further complicate her issues, is not a true nation but an accidental one. And such a nation can be likened to a man that befriended a lady just to sleep and suck her dry without adding value to her life. Such a nation lacks patriots—and a nation that has more thieves than patriots can never stand or succeed as a nation.

How can a country full of world-class intellectuals be left in the hands of incompetent and clueless beings? Who lack vision and cannot pilot the affairs of a complex nation. Does this nation lack patriots? How can a nation expect to magically get better one day without working out the strategy on how to.
The Bible says "who is that that wants to build a house without sitting down and planning the cost?"How can a nation that lacks direction get to its destination? A ship in the middle of the sea that has a faulty compass will find it difficult to get to her destination.
Can a nation suddenly become great when all its citizens do is talk? Or has anybody on earth seen where ordinary wishful talks without follow-up actions solve any problems?

A nation that must succeed must apply a pragmatic approach to issues that critically bother its wellbeing. A nation that dreams of a better day will sit down and write its objectives and goals—boldly written and spelled out. And they must be men with honest intention and the burning desire to make things happen for the better. Gush! what an accidental nation
