...But Before Then

I have a dream that one day all the hustlers in the streets of Nigeria will make it and become wealthy.

 

I have a dream that one day those who eat on the ground would have a table before them with nice delicacies.

 

I have a dream that one day those who manage a licking hut, enduring the hurt of poverty will smile again. 

 

But before that good day, we must learn how to choose responsibility over complaints and action over excuses. 

 

We must learn how to move a stone everyone else walked around and find solutions to Problems others photographed and passed.

 

We must cultivate the mind of asking "what can I do to fix it?" When thousands are busy apportioning blames on others.

 

Because the dream gave me an instruction that a child of nobody who wants to become somebody must not think like everybody. 

 

I left

You left

Let's meet at the top.
