Surprisingly, many Africans and Nigerians, despite their numerous degrees, years
of travel abroad, and long hours of worship in the house of God, unconsciously
believe from the very bottom of their hearts that it is the Europeans and Arabs
that own them. Some will publicly tell you that if not for the Europeans and
Arabs coming to Africa that nothing good would have being happening in Nigeria
and Africa. They also believe that if they do not associate, affiliate, or kiss
up to these peoples that their economical, social, and political progress will
be unfruitful even if it is at the expense of their honor, children, or national
identity. So in order to show their dedication to these peoples in exchange for
success, they have to train themselves to hate their African names, language,
music, clothes, men, women, race, skin color, food, and even justify it by
saying that they are primitive or are devilish. Many will even use logic to
convince you proudly that since we were colonized by the Europeans and the Arabs
that it is imperative that we follow their lead and command. They reason loudly
by saying in the 21st century that if not for their creation of
Nigeria that we do not exist. This is does not only display our ignorance of
African history before colonization but also shows our shameful attitude towards
our national leaders and the Super Eagles.
A man who
believes that he owns nothing has no voice. He lives to take orders in order to
survive. He is even worse than a lair and a thief. At least, a lair pretend to
own something while a thief can summon the courage to have possession of what
belongs to another, but the man without a voice is doomed to follow the one who
has taken his gold. Nigerians do not believe they own Nigeria. They just live
in it and hope they find a good job or steal from contracts. This is the only
way that the president will be away for 2 months without official written
permission, a governor they did not vote for will be in office, Europeans
companies will be taking their oil without accountability, or crippling our
industries so that we can import cheap Chinese products at inflated prices.
Coach
Amodu let all Nigerians down. He did not believe that as a Nigerian he owned
the Super Eagles. He thought the NFF and the presidential Task Force did. He
did not understand that God was giving him a second chance to prove himself. He
did not have the vision that he might be the only African coach at the World Cup
2010. Instead of him to take hungry local players and able professionals to
seal his opportunity, he took only professional players who were either injured
or unfit due to recovery to the Nations Cup. He even confessed that he made an
agreement with the professional players that their place in the Nations Cup was
assured without first checking their fitness level. Now Black Africans faces a
reality yet again of having a FIFA World Cup, the most watched event in the
world, with little or no African referees, minimal African local players, and
now without an African coach on African soil in South Africa. What a shame!!!!
How do we expect the world to respect us? I plead with the NFF to have enough
foresight, consciousness, and vision to hire a Nigerian coach (Siasia, Keshi or
Oliseh) or a Black African Coach for the World Cup because I am sick and tired
of this global disgrace. God did not make me to be a symbol of insufficiency,
incapability, and second class. An African coach must be present in this World
Cup and every World Cup because you are the one that must push yourself to be
successful. Let our children see Nigerian and African coaches in the World Cup
and dream of surpassing them. This is how we prosper as a people.
Since
Nigeria and the Super Eagles belong to all Nigerians, we must plan on how to
capitalize on them economically without relying on the Nigerian government and
economy directly. This means each one of us must figure out a way to derive
revenue from Nigeria. While the NFF is giving ADIDAS and NIKE full contract to
make our jersey (at least in the past), we have to learn to capitalize on
Football, the World Cup, Summer Olympics, and the African Nations Cup for
ourselves. There are billions of people out there looking for Super Eagles
products. If you do not produce it, White people and Arabs will. Let us try to
use world events relating to Nigeria to create jobs and income away from the
Nigerian economy. This will only happen if you believe that you own Nigeria and
not the Kaduna Mafia. Without ownership there is no money. You need money to
have a voice. Your voice must be independent of the Nigerian economy and self
driven. When many of us have a voice, we can bring change. When you bring
change, you answer to no one nor owe anybody. Make use of the internet and sell
your God given talent. Never be afraid of what people may say or think because
you own Nigeria and can do whatever with it as long as it brings revenue and
honor to self and country. Use the talent God has given you to create things
with your hands and head, and use the internet to market it to strangers in
distant lands. Remember, if all the revenue you get is from word of mouth and
people you know, then you are not maximizing your potentials fully. The main
aim of this idea is to keep us prepared to take over Nigeria when these
incompetent leaders pass away instead of their children, who will do nothing but
recycle corruption. God luck and make Nigeria your own to keep.
