I had a look at the computer clock and found out that I had spent exactly one hour chatting with one of my eternal friends. In the light of my present exam study realities, I DID NOT plan to spend so much time away from my books. My excuse for getting up from my reading position was to get a journal article photocopied and then I thought to myself - 'why don't you just use the opportunity to the library gound floor to check your mails at the computer pool there'. But I have done more than just check my emails. While I will have to wrap this entry up pretty fast - (that journal article still needs to be read), the hour wasn't wasted by any means. We took time to talk about a lot of the issues that had been on my mind for a couple of weeks now. Interestingly , when I woke up this morning, I had this strong craving and massive urge to get on the phone to some of my top people in Nigeria and get some perspective on the Nigerian project as well as share my thoughts. The lack of the appropriate tools however handicapped me.
Nigeria is dear to my heart, bone and marrow plus my spirit, soul and body and all the recent events in the polity have drawn me back to seeking answers to some of the more foundational questions that are before us individually and collectively. ( more on the details of this in the coming weeks).
At this very instant there is a lot of hopefully positive news coming out of Naija on the leaders who will give beter direction to our aspirations and yearnings.
Like I said, I'll come back to the details very soon. But here's what I've learnt todat - the key that will unlock the doors to our desired future - individually and collectively lies in the quality of our relationships on a micro and macro level. Candid, beneficial and inspiring conversations like the one I just had remain the fulcrum on which all this hinges.
You will hear from me soon...I hope you are also saying that
The Nigeria of our dreams and desires is not far off
