(An overview of a letter shared with a friend on the Issue of Spiritual Revolution for National Development)
Dear Mr. John Jones,
My generation has no vision of the Nigeria state; we grew up during and after the Civil War. We were either Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, and so on; we were anything, but Nigerians, and not believing in the Nigeria state, we pursued individual and personal aggrandisements. There were periodic and episodic identifications with the Nigeria state, but being unfortunate to have lived as young adults under the several kleptocratic regimes headed by the military. We had no high ideals to live up to, no windmills to charge, and idealistic dreams died quickly in the economic maelstrom that witnessed our youthful years. We are the worst that the Nigeria state has thrown up, existential in outlook, bankrupt in morals. We are raising children who cannot survive in the country that we will bequeath to them if things are not quickly reversed. It is this harsh reality that has now loosened my tongue and woken me from inertia. My purpose is to sound the alarm in the hope that we have not travelled too far down this road towards national destruction, and we can do a course correction before it is too late. Silence is no longer an option. This has further endeared me to your school of thought, which serves as a clarion call to men of purpose and vision for a new Nigeria, to at least gather new vigour and vitality to dream once again and possess the new nation that is about to be rebirthed. • Tishegunfunmi AdeÁDEGBESAN is the founder of DPartakers Kingdom. www.dpartakerskingdom.org
To this end, I have made up my mind to be an ardent student of your school of thought and to prepare myself to use whatever platform God has provided to further push and amplify your voice with deeper insight until our change comes. • Tishegunfunmi AdeÁDEGBESAN is the founder of DPartakers Kingdom. www.dpartakerskingdom.org
This change may be instant or in the distant future, but I have taken a stand from a vintage perspective to behold the dawn of a new day and the rising of a new sun upon this nation, soon to come.
In conclusion, you may not fully agree with all I have said, but it is crystal clear that we both desire to achieve a better nation. I respect your views and accept them all. I also desire to unlearn and learn more in order to be an evangelist of this gospel to this generation.
Please accept me as your student in your school of thought. I thank God for your inspiration, and for such a time as this, a voice like yours is screaming in our national wilderness. It is an indication that there is still a ray of hope in the tunnel of darkness. There is still a better day ahead for the generations to come.
