It all started two years ago. The time American began to long for a dynamic change. It was the beginning of the election campaign.
Today history has been made.
An African-American man became the 44th President of the USA. This is uncalled for! Barrack Obama treaded and broke the barrier that has been for long in America.
Yesterday, I spent the entire half of the night awaiting the result of the election though I knew I had to be at work early this morning. However, I was more eager to discover the winner.
This is not just about discovering who the next president of America will be. This is about making history. From the onset that Obama set out for this post during his electoral campaign, he has done practically well. You need to check for yourself to know that truly he is the right person that America needs at these turbulent moments.
If you ask any American citizen about who is the most unpopular president they ever have, they will be so happy to point fingers at their current leadership.
The simple truth is Americans are worn out with wars that have no end. What is war? It brings nothing more than sorrow. The lives of their precious husbands, brothers and friends who sacrifice their lives in Iraq cannot be overruled. As a result of harsh decision, many young soldiers’ wives are today widows. So many children have been born while their fathers are out on the battle-ground. Those kids will never get the opportunity knowing their fathers who the cruel war consumed without mercy. Many parents are childless after losing their sons to the war.
There is September 11th that cannot be forgotten in the hearts of everybody.
You should come to the understanding why every American; both young and old, the white and black folks, the sick and the whole, the single and the married deeply cried for joy last night when Barrack Obama is selected as the next President!
How many people out there who still could not believe that this will happened? How many folks have ruled out the possibility of having a black man ruling over the USA? Are you one of them?
Then, I am here to tell you to get ready for transformation.
Many African folks made histories in their life-time. Check out Martin Luther King Junior, for his profound record. Former South African president, Nelson Mandela is one of such. There are folks such as, Wilma Rudolf, Bill Cosby, Jane Pittman, Elijah McCoy, Elisabeth Taylor Greenfield, Josephine Baker, Louis Armstrong, Jemison Mae C, William Henry Johnson, and George Washington Carver.
Have you forgotten those history-makers in your areas that you still remember dearly?
Now I want to point the arrow to you; HOW MANY POSITIVE HISTORIES HAVE YOU MADE IN YOUR LIFE?
I have made history when I was solely selected from Nigeria by the Berlin Talent Campus, (Initiative of the Berlinale International Film Festival), for my five-minute short film, ‘FOOTBALL; My African Queen’ for the Cultural and Artistic programme of the Germany 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Apart from this, there have been positive results on my life ever since. Not only have I contributed to the film industry, I am on the verge of storming the literary world!
What about you? What can you give out from you to the world? I have not given you the above facts about me just for records; I am directly informing you that you need to be ready to contribute your quota of commitment to your society.
Do you want to get out of this world without being heard? You have a voice and believe me, there are hundreds of people lives that you need to touch. Get up to affect your world for good!
All my novels have been fighting for the cause of human race. I have not relented in my battle to eliminate marital violence, child abuses, and the maltreatment of immigrants across the world. I found my deepest joy when I voice out my thoughts, my knowledge and of course my wisdom.
I am not sending this article to you only for you to just drop it aside. I want you to get set to make history in your world. No matter who you are, no matter the situation around you, it does not matter where you are coming from; I tell you that it is time for you to act!
Barrack Obama has done it, Nelson Mandela has done it, others have done it and I have done it, so also you too can do it!
Get on your mark; ARE YOU READY?
Cheers!
