At the twilight of the 19th Century Otto von Bismarck leading the G14 in 1884-85 realized a convention to Colonize Africa, however they were oblivious of the fact that a score earlier, on the 14th of November 1864 Herbert Olayinka Macauley had broken into time, he was born to inspire a renaissance soon to come.
Compatriots, at the dawn of the 20th Century whilst the Colonialists bludgeoned our space, greats like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello et al tore into space, it wasn't happenstance but providential.
It is noteworthy that Macauley was born on the 14th of November 1884, Zik on the 16th of November 1904, Awo on the 9th of March, 1909 and Ahmadu Bello on the 12th of June, 1910.
Countrymen and women of profound significance are these dates. Herbert Macauley's 14 represents the full moon, the age of forgetfulness, he came so we may grow and forget the pain of Colonialism. Zik's 16 represents leadership and outspokenness, he became our first Governor-General. Awo's 9 represents completeness, brilliance and selflessness, he introduced free education and several infrastructural firsts. And Ahmadu Bello's 12 is the number of Cosmic Order, of balanced government and of the harmony of space and time, we achieved that when on the 1st of October, 1960 Nigeria became independent.
We are a nation fixed by God. We hold the key to the new world. We are troubled because only a peaceful Nigeria can unlock the fountain of global brotherhood. We must therefore deplete our fault lines and speed up the redemption of our universe. The world is waiting.
To be CONT'D.
God Bless Nigeria.
