2007: Our Date with CHANGE

Change. All change! It is the year both for the United Nations and Nigeria, our dear Nigeria. Oh, how nice to be here...in 2007! So sweetly nice. Thank God.

As the UN must do, Nigeria must consolidate on the past and move with courage and candour into the future. Old values of honour, dignity, truth, integrity, work-ethics and spirituality must endure. New ways and means, including ICT, high skills, diaspora input, local content and cyber safety must be embraced. Due process, the rule of law, true patriotism, healthy competition and true leadership-in-accountability must take hold and flourish. Nigeria must change bad ways, embrace new and beneficial ways.

Then, the big change: 2007 Elections. Ah! Huge surprises. Far-reaching. Deep. It will be a sea change - sweeping, just and sweet. Never mind the temporary setbacks and tentative lull in the land so far, it is all the meek-street before the roaring-highway. Things will soon erupt, explode and excite. It will be pun and fun.

So, let the real deals be made. Soon soon...

Let the real DEBATES begin!
