We don’t know what we have until it’s gone—that’s the story of Nigeria, of Africa of the World. Chinua Achebe said it best: “The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership.” Our leaders have failed to see the potential of this land, of its people, of its spirit. And as it is for Nigeria, so is it for Africa and the World at large. We lose opportunities daily—resources squandered, minds untapped, hope fading, dreams suffocating and more. Yet, the sun rises every day, reminding us that it is not too late. But we must stop waiting for it to find us; we need to find the sun ourselves and reclaim what has been lost.
