It was birthed sometimes in 2010, inspired
by a programme ‘one on one’ on NTA
Network. On this particular episode, the guest was the ambassador of the United
States of America to Nigeria. The discussion was centered on the American Dream
and how Nigerians needs the dream. The ambassador sold the American Dream with
such conviction that i nearly bought into it.
After
interrogating his expressions and thoughts on the programme, i asked myself; “as
Nigerians, do we also have a dream? a
dream unlike our “dream teams”. If yes,
why have we become addictive buyers of other peoples’ dreams?” Other questions
began to emerge; “Is the Nigerian state not worth a dream?” Slowly Victor
Prince Dickson began to accept the truths that had been customized as lies.
Collectively
as a country, we do not have a dream in the real sense of the word. What we
have is wishful thinking backed up with so much prayer but very little actions
(faith).
The little
energy and faith that would have been translated into virile dreams have been
bastardized and cowardized into regional, ethnic and religious sentiments,
energies which could have been channeled into making Nigeria a dream nation has
been dissipated on useless and irrelevant arguments on the balkanization of
Nigeria.
But as I progressed
in thoughts and actions, I met a handful of ‘Dreamers’ far and apart,
very isolated and alone save for a few friends and family and company of
private admirers and supporters. Who despite the cruel challenges have succeeded
in making impact.
History has
proven times after times that revolution, evolution are all a functional drive
of a few. So In learning from history, I decided to create a platform where we
can join dreams to dreams together like a multiple stranded cord. Each dream
connected to another, like a league or a fellowship. The goal is to create an avalanche
of change, with ripple effect that will galvanize private efforts into national
tsunami of positive growth, where all can dream and all can have and be what
they want to be.
Such is our
dream to create a nation were honesty
and national integrity is no longer a commercial chant with financial
and statutory dividends but a country where change is Justice, Peace,
Character, Commitment, Faith, Love…..
Our
intention is such that as we progress, dream connecting to dream, our change
will be so evident and sure. Then, we can begin to export our thought and
perceptions so that our reality can become other peoples’ dreams.
This dream
is described in our National Anthem, National Pledge and Prayer.
Welcome… to
NIGERIAN DREAM COMMUNITY.
