“Arise o compatriots.
The time has come for us determine the destiny of our nation. To rewrite our history.
This is our time, this is our moment.
This is our opportunity to transit our nation from a country of potential, to fully realise the greatness in our nation.
To prove the world right that indeed Nigeria is a great nation. Not only for the richness of our land, but the ingenuity of our people.
The determination of a generation to change, from ordinary to extraordinary, usual to unusual, inferior to superior.
The time has come for us to think differently, and smartly, in the way we plan, develop and build our nation.
This is the time of the courageous generation, truly ready for the real change, change in general, general change, change in the way we run our country, change in the way we manage our resources, change in the way operate our institutions, change in the way we treat our laws and administer justice, change in the way we build, change in the way we see and treat ourselves, and how we position our country in the world.
We think not of today, not even tomorrow, but far into the future.
The change we all desire is here. People’s change, general change, a clean slate for a bright future.
Be ready for people’s choice, people’s change, general change.
Vote people’s General. Vote Muhammadu Buhari for president.”
The above words are from an EXCELLENT video (link below) I watched aptly titled “New Nigeria”. Kudos to the authors!

I got my kids to watch and write out verbatim, the words from the video and then to EACH memorize it, and recite before the family…just the same way they do the National Anthem and Pledge respectively. I believe ALL OUR KIDS need to imbibe the essence of the powerful vision painted with the words in this video.
This is why I created an MP3 version which I copied to a memory card for the player used by my kids, and we play it back many times daily as a reminder of where we want Nigeria to go. It is my considered opinion that every responsible parent should do this with his/her kids – it’s a powerful way to get them involved in the movement for change… regardless of whether they are of voting age.
My schedule shuttling more often between Nigeria and Benin Republic makes it so hard for me to make out time to do my extracurricular typing like I used to. So, I asked my 15 year old so to type out the words he transcribed from the video – which you NOW read.
By the time you see this, I will have published these words on my blog (see http://tinyurl.com/sdnvote4change), with a download link to the MP3 version that I created, which people can playback on their mobile phones etc (just 2 MB approx) – click the link below to download the MP3.
