Naija FM OAP, comedian and MC, Isaac Osamoje, popularly known as Osam (pictured left) is a year older today and has written a powerful birthday message that I think y'all should read. Find it below...
"As I add another year, I
really begin to ponder deeply where we as a nation are coming from and
heading to. Have we lost direction? Have we underdeveloped ourselves to a
point of no return?
Questions. If we take a
look a our Nigerian psyche (or human for that matter) I see that the
avarice and selfish interest of each individual translates to the chaos
that besiege us presently.
What is the difference
between a hungry man that steals bread from a stall and a corrupt
government official that loots unthinkable amounts from the treasury?
What is the difference between an irate mob burning a suspect to death
with tyres and fire and the Boko Haram scourge killing people at will?
What
is the difference between a man murdering another with a gunshot to the
head at point blank range, and a Liberian man and Nigerian woman
running amok infecting people deliberately with a deadly virus?
What is the difference
between two elder statesmen catapulting insults at each other and two
talented, well to do young musicians doing same?
These are but a few of life's eye openers.
The Bible,Quoran,and customary laws were brought out for a reason.
I list out kidnapping, sabotage, terrorism, viral epidemic as a glaring path to destruction.
Worse
yet, after all we have gone through as a nation, Civil war,
Inter-tribal marriages , division of states, Nobel Laureate win, musical
accomplishments, film industry establishment, telecommunication growth,
some people have the nerve to call for the division of this great
country of ours.
I SAY NO!
We are a people, and for us as Nigerians we have come this far and we can go further.
As I add a year to my age today (August 19), I pray that God will add more prosperous years to you reading this piece.
This next step is for you to adopt as a greeting as a people,locally and internationally, whether Ebola greeting or social!
Just raise the index finger of your right hand to represent UNITY, the two-finger sign of your left hand to represent PEACE
Join them together and ANYBODY facing you will see the 'N' sign representing #NAIJA4LIFE
Everybody is joining in.
WE ARE UNITY.
WE ARE PEACE.
WE ARE NIGERIA.
THIS IS AFRICA.
P.S Happy Birthday to me.
I Believe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, U HAVE SPOKEN WELL
Happy birthday..man..i wish you the best
First of all, happy birthday to Osam. To his write-up, I can see he is really a passionate person...passionate about his country. And from the pics I can see in this post, he surely is walking/working his talk.
That aside, Nigeria really is in a bad state right now. The problem I see is not even only that our leaders are bad, but that the average man has a evil mind.
Just yesterday, I was having talks with one of my neighbors on a particular public service we jointly pay for, and he questioned how I handled the particular situation, saying I should have lied to the public officers about one thing or the other. This is a man that calls himself a pastor in Redeem.
The decadence in the land is appalling. You go to the filling station, and a fuel attendance who is a mother of three tries to cheat you. You read of otherwise respectable bankers committing fraud. I don't even think over-religiousness is what we need right now, cos it is obvious it ain't working for us. I don't even know what we need. Maybe some kind of rule where everyone is responsible for all his actions.
Are You A One Minute Man?
Nigerians be like - illuminati ya'll. Lol
