I will like to thank you all for your messages of support and calls too numerous to respond to. I am embarrassed and emboldened by your love! A lot of people ask what is my conviction in fighting for a better Nigeria and I tell them history! I have read through the times of Pa Michael Imodu and the 1945 strike and I saw the betrayal he faced from fellow Nigerians he fought for.
Some Nigerians and the National Youth Movement sided with the colonial government over Pa.Imodu, the Daily Service, a newspaper wrote a lot of scathing articles against Pa. Imodu, the Nigerian Conservative elite the benefitted from the colonial government sided against the Nigerian workers but Pa .
Imodu was dogged! Even the workers he fought for, stood against him and sided with their oppressors, the colonial masters! Like we all know, It takes a trained mind to see oppression, a lot of people side with their own oppressors! I am not surprised that people support the evil and ills of society because it benefits them.
There’s a convenience about not talking when you have a morsel of Eba in your mouth! For me my convictions are clear, the Love of Country, God and welfare of the left behind are my priorities! For those benefitting from the ruination of Nigeria, we will never agree and we ought not to.
My convictions will always be about the betterment of my country, I am human and I don’t see my self as better than Pa.Imodu or any other patriot but I have always argued that my country is worth speaking up for, and I know the forces of special interests is transient.
I am happy to be in this moment of history and there is no place I will rather be, than at this inflection point of national consciousness. I am not here to impress you or agree with you but here to speak to the betterment of a country so blessed but so poor.
I am not perfect, I will make my mistakes, I will surprise myself,sometimes otherwise, I will have my ups and downs but I can always assure you that the priority to speak truth to power will be my strength!
I am not oblivious of those that benefit from the ruination of our country, I leave them to their conscience if they have one but for me I will continue to be in the vanguard of helping the poor and amplifying the conversations! I DEY KAMPE!!!!! I LOVE YOU!
