Patriotism and Purpose: Building the Nation We Deserve

Written by Prof. Mannixs E. Paul, PhD, FCFIP, FCIML, FCECFI, FFAR

Let us learn from India—a nation that has risen from adversity through unity, innovation, and visionary leadership. Today, India stands as a beacon of technological progress and national pride, showing what is possible when a people commit to transformation with a shared purpose.

Nigeria, projected to become the third most populous nation in the world, is standing at the edge of a pivotal moment. Without decisive political reform and sustainable economic development, this growth could turn into a burden—where both the rich and poor, the educated and uneducated, drink from the same bitter cup of suffering.

Now is the time for all Nigerians to rise as one—casting off selfishness and embracing the call to nation-building. We must cultivate a spirit of patriotism, integrity, and collective responsibility. Let our generation be the one that chose hope over helplessness, action over apathy, and unity over division.

May God grant us the courage and wisdom to shape a future that honors our dreams, uplifts our people, and secures the destiny of our nation.
