The MountainTop
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on March 28, 2018, 5:01 AMYesterday afternoon, I read an inscription “I've Been to the Mountaintop". It was the name of the last speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. Rev King had spoken on April 3, 1968 in Memphis. The next day, he was assassinated.
He was a man of faith – “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. He did not witness the America of today which has changed so much that people like me are here. I am one of those at his “mountaintops” because without his works, none of us would be here.
His undeniable faith of promise is the message of the time in Nigeria. How can you make Nigeria greater and better? What is your “mountaintop”?

Never give up. The 7th interview or the 20th CV submission may be it. In the deepest of the night, remember that tomorrow is a PROMISE. Keep climbing; you will get to the “mountaintop”.
