Title: DREAM AGAIN – Excerpts:
Dear young Nigerians, the battle we’re involved in is not a battle of bullets and guns; it’s a battle of the mind. It’s about your ability to interpret dreams, and like Joseph, you been equipped for such a time as this. Don’t be dismayed, dream new dreams!
Dear young Nigerians, just as Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob, you are the 11th hour generation that will restore the glory of Nigeria and elevate her to the position of envy in the comity of nations. Don’t give up young people. Dream again!
Dear young Nigerians, this is the time to maintain your focus! Don’t allow anyone or anything to distract you! God has sent me with a word to you specifically today, nothing is lost. Maintain your focus; dream again!
Joseph’s story speaks to us, especially as we find ourselves in a world inundated with hate, destruction, pain, disappointment and insecurities. This applies to us not only as individuals, but as nations.
Dear young Nigerians, just like Joseph, you must continue to add value wherever you find yourself. At your respective offices, don’t fail to add value; in whatever assignment you’re called to handle, ensure that you add value. Dream Again!
Today all across Nigeria, young people feel disheartened, betrayed and in utter despair, following the events of the past days and weeks, in the struggle for a new Nigeria. But I’ve come to encourage you today, that ALL IS NOT LOST!
Everyone wants a nation where systems and structures work, but they cannot attain it. Do you know why? Because they don’t have the answer. Guess you are the answers? YOU! This generation of young Nigerians have the answer! Blow your nose! Focus! Dream Again!
Dear young Nigerians, know it today that I’m so proud of you! I’m glad that I am alive to witness the events of the past few days. Don’t allow anyone to quench your fire! Don’t allow anyone to shift your focus. You are the ones we’ve waited for!
Like I’ve said repeatedly, if anyone tells you dear young person, that your agitations and demands are not genuine, then that person is either blind or plainly dishonest. Your demands are genuine
Dear young Nigerians, the battle we’re involved in is not a battle of bullets and guns; it’s a battle of the mind. It’s about your ability to interpret dreams, and like Joseph, you been equipped for such a time as this. Don’t be dismayed, dream new dreams!
Child of God, there’s no challenge that you’re going through today, that is a surprise to God.
All is NOT lost, we have lost nothing.
God will honour our faith as a nation. Amen!
