Nigerians, Let’s Speak With Only One Voice
A Nigerian youth seen waving the Nigerian national flag in support of the ongoing protest against the unjust brutality of The Nigerian Police Force Unit named Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Lagos on October 13, 2020. - Nigerians took to the streets once again on October 13, 2020, in several cities for fresh protests against police brutality, bringing key roads to a standstill in economic hub Lagos. Demonstrations organised on social media erupted earlier this month calling for the abolition of a notorious police unit accused of unlawful arrests, torture and extra-judicial killings. The government gave in to the demand on October 11, 2020, announcing that the federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) was being disbanded in a rare concession to people power in Africa's most populous nation.

My good people of Nigeria, I once again welcome us to another edition of this noble and divine platform. It has never been by our efforts, so I give thanks to the Almighty for His support.

So far, it has been clear that God is in support of this movement. For having recorded success since we commenced the crusade, it is understandable that the Creator is really with us.

I call this movement a divine one because it was initiated through God’s inspiration. I got the message from above to come up with this platform; that’s why I proudly address it as a divine movement.

Your contributions so far have also shown that we are all behind the crusade. Apart from every other effort, making out time to be with me here is enough reason to believe that we are together, and that you are in support of the essence of this movement that is targeted to tell us more about the impending general elections in Nigeria.

The reactions I receive after every edition have shown me that I am not standing alone. It has made me believe that there are many who are more determined to ensure that our dearest country becomes better and stronger come 2023. It has made me understand that there are several other Nigerians who are willing and ready to make the country walk again having suffered a seeming paralysis.

In the last edition, we talked about the need to start asking important questions. We took time to explain that it was time we began asking very important questions concerning the fast approaching electoral race in the country.

And after the last outing, we understood it is very pertinent to tender inquiries that would be useful to the electorate as regards the fast approaching race. Yes, everything was well understood by each of us.

In that edition, we noted that the best thing any discerning mindset could do was to ask reasonable questions towards ascertaining the actual antecedents of any aspirant. We equally understood that any well-meaning aspirant ought to be willing and prepared to respond to any form of enquiry at any time.

Today’s edition is interested in telling us the need to speak with one voice. This very outing wants to inform us in a language we will understand that we are all expected to start speaking with only one voice towards ensuring the rightful person emerges victoriously come 2023.

If we must tell ourselves the gospel truth, we will not hesitate to agree that only a true and well-meaning Nigerian can turn things around for good after the expiration of the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.

All we want is the candidate that possesses all it takes to deliver; one among all the aspirants that is sincerely interested in taking the country to the Promised Land; an individual who truly wants to lead the country with the fear of God.

But we must understand that such an aspirant as mentioned above or earlier cannot make himself the President of Nigeria. He can only become the country’s number one citizen through our support and encouragement. Above all, it is only our collective votes that can authorize him to lead the country come 2023.

The above statement is the reason we are meant to speak with one voice. It is only by speaking with one voice we can be seen as a single body. And if we act as one indivisible body or group, nothing can stop us from being in charge when the time comes.

If we failed to have one voice, we would give chances for other unwanted aspirants to become relevant. We need to collectively let everyone, both at home and abroad, understand that we are independent when it comes to taking a decision. But if we fail to act as one body, people will be forced to ignore us.

We really do not need to let anyone make decisions for us. We have good brains that can act as expected. Nigeria is ours, so we must safeguard it with the last drop of our blood. And the best way to do so is to ensure that only the right or best aspirant is given the opportunity to win or lead the country come 2023.

It is really by having one voice we can become stronger and better. We need to act as members of a particular family. And in such a family, we must put heads together whenever we want to take any action that can affect the entire country. Most importantly, in this, we must see ourselves as equal in order not to see anyone as less important.

I urge us to take note of the above message as I beg to take my usual break till we interact again as usual.
