CULTURAL IDENTITIES.

CULTURAL IDENTITIES. Culture is the foundation of all human existence.without culture, we will all be devoid of our unique identities.culture however, is a specific unique identities of people's ways of behavoural practices and share belief system. culture becomes much important as it attaches its self to all human existence. culture is like a product we intentionally purchased in the market place through personal decisions. culture though, could be transmitted from one generation to another yet, the decisions to either accept it or discard such practices, is vested upon the individual. culture is like a traffic light that navigate our personal upbringing.culture form some total of our human personalities. culture is extricate.culture could somewhat have some striking semblance to another, yet, it extricates its uniqueness from the other.. every institution is enshrined with some forms of cultural practices attached to human behavoural conducts and possible outlined ethics that guides the behavoural conducts of the organization or institution which must have a strict adherence to. according to clifford.n. igwe (2017)"every institution, is a system of behaviour" the capacity for the transference of one cultural heritage and practice to another, makes such cultural practice unartificially viable as well as rejuvinate the indelibilty of such cultural belief system . Africa as a continent that exhumes practical culture which interface with the nature, must be proud of her cultural identities and uphold its true share belief system. A cultural practice with some higher degree of spiritualities, need to be revalidate, celebrates, and prove to the world of her headship above every other continent.. A continent as the craddle of all human race , must not be relegated or box to the corner. A continent that speakes and controls natural creations, must be held in a higher esteem before other commitee of nations. A continent that speaks to nature with the language she best understood and such nature obeys her commands, need to place more value to her cultural inclinations. A continent that uses natural leaf to cure all manners of illness, must not be regarded as a weak continent. A continent which spiritually controls scientific technology, must be giving her place of headship not a baby child. we must rise to this occassion to occupy our place of headship, use our spiritual power to estabulish unavoidable development, create scientific technology, galvanize our local medicine to solving our medical defects and infermities, and make use of our God giving potentials into a global acceptable products. no one can value the you in you except you. we must not allow those with the tendencies to destroy us to begin to identify the real you.the real you, is in you not outside of you. whatever we do not value as a people of one race and share belief system, can not be valued by others who knows nothing about you. You can't define what you ignorantly knows nothing about. i am africa, Africa is me. you can't deny your true identity out of poor knowledge of your originalities.what is not known to you as an African, can never be known to others. Be it a white man whose real shadow is never white but black still knows he is a product of black not white. Africa must come together to re-structure our Democratic governance, politics, education, entertainment, and our social practices that will incoperate with our cultural values as a people with pure divinities. page 5

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIP.I

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIP. Relationship between two countries are paramount and can not be overemphasize.international relationships, affords the two or various countries of sovierenties coming together to champion unity of purpose and brainstorm for the overall purpose of the people and that of the society in strenthening ties in the area of security, human rights, substainable development goals (sdg), providing financial aids, fight against terriorism-religious extremism, and saction countries that goes against international laws which such sovieren nation is signatory to the above collective agreed laws.international relation is essential for the development of the society. no human is an islander.we all need one another in our areas of strength and weakness. nigeria as a country with the autonomous power to define the future foundation of the country, must do this in alliance with the internation union laws.nigeria as a country, is constitutionally empowered to disagree from entering into any international laws that contravens our cultural values and practices. nigeria citizens in every part of the world must endeavour to uphold our cultural values, conduct their business with the armbit of the law, work effortlessly in maintaining our sacred identity as a people with high moral values and pursuit for bringing glory back home from where ever we find ourselves. we must not render the image of the country in a badlight before the international communities irrespective of our present predicaments, we must work efficiently in portraying the image of our nationality as people of high moral standard, incorruptible, and hardworking people. page 4

NATIONAL BEHAVIOUR FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

NATIONAL BEHAVIOUR FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. National behavour fuel's a peaceful cohabitation among citizens. A country that lacks citizens with good behaviour, will become unproductive with the poor understanding of how a state should be governed.assumeably, members of the public or electorates whom are directed by the INEC officials to queue up in a single line to cast their electoral vote for preffered candidate , decides to flat such order giving by the electoral officials , it may cascade to a total state of confusion where the electorates will engage in a fighting activities which will completely disrupt a true flow for a peaceful election.at this junture, such illogical un-nationalistic character poses a strong challenge to the federal government and the electoral body to fixing a new date for the conclusion of the said interupted election with high profile electoral flash point. Human behavour is never stetic but dynamic.what this connotes, human behavour is comprehensively associated with trends and unfolding events. national character streamline roburst growth and development for the significant benefit of the immediate society. take for example , A filling station patrol attendant who sell patrol against NNPC approved pumb price or creating an artificial scarcity for the petrolium product in order to achieve excessive profit at the expense of the poor nigerians.this irrational act of behavour, will not only portrays the image of the country as corrupt people, but will as well murder the psychological welbeing of the people with low income earnings.Government at all levels, must ensure policies in governance should incoperate the psychological and the social economic welbeing of the people they govern.government must put into consideration that the people been governed are not animals but humans.they must dish out policies that have human face. our behaviour should reflect our core values and propel some degree of development for the overall interest of the general public. a new nigeria is sacrossant. A new nigeria where national interest overide that of our parochial interest has come. A new nigeria where freedom of speech will not be gag is here. A new nigeria where people's right can not be infridged nor taken for granted has come. A new nigeria where public office holders will no longer use public office to embazzle or misappropriate funds meant for the development of the state but meticulously use fund at their disposal to develop our country, is right here with us. Having a poor good citizen, is better than having a rich citizen with battered obnoxious anticeedent . it is expidient every citizen of this indivisible entity called nigeria working in harmony to bring about positive substainable growths for the interest of the unborn generations.we must take away every forms of tribal, religious, and political ascerbities that inpede growth and development out of the polity if we strongly yarn for a better nigeria. politics must be played when it is time for politics, and true governance must be brought to lanelight when it is time for real governance.quality governance can not be overemphasize as it affords the citizens become a huge beneficiary. page 3

THE COUNTRY AND HER CITIZEN

THE COUNTRY AND HER CITIZEN. The true essence Amalgamating people as a sorveiring nation, is essentially driven from unity , progress, peace, and collectively taking decisions that are independent without undue interference whatsoever from the colonialist for efficiencies and its palatable attainability for national dreams and visions of the nationalist.nigeria as a country , will continue to remain under-developed if the issues of poor leadership is not annihilate.leadership failure engenders corruption, shiphoning of national coffers for personal use, sharp practices, protest and agitations, undemocratic behaviour, and apparent disregard for court subsisting judgement. inadvertently, the citizens expects alot from the leaders that are Democratically elected by the people to provide portable water, constant electric power suply, good road, quality education, good health care delivery system, and reduction in high cost of living.this are primary responsibilities of the government to the people of the state.inequivocally, whenever public elected leaders who are saddled in performing this primary responsibilities for the people fails in their duties, citizens becomes lawless, pervassive, and possibly carry arms against the government of the day.in other lane, the people of the state plays a pivotal roles for the development of the nation.every citizen are expected to working favourably in contrubuting his quota for nation development. citizens are expected to pay their tax, become law abiding, carry out community service, Help one another in their areas of concerns, religious telorence, participate gallantrily in pre-election, election, and post-election seasons, and ensuring peaceful atmosphere at their various locals to fast-track development. in every leadership failure, citizens must be held responsible.this however, borders on the constitutional power vested on the electorates to choose and elect leaders with capacities to surmount the myraid of challenges bedeviling the nation hence, when the electorates defiles all odds with clear prospect to elect candidates with the highest bidders against meritocracies, there is a problem.an economic boofoom cripples all chances for substaintial growth . citizen must work asideously ensuring political leaders are elected through the ballots, defending their cast votes without fear of intimidations whatsoever. Nigeria electorates need to arise and excercise their civic responsibilities in determining who assumes elective positions for the development of the nation. The citizens must work in synergy with the law enforcement agencies through information donations in fishing out hoodlums in our various localities.insecurity thrives when the people of the states do no longer cares about the business of governance, as such, crime abates even in our homes. if government do the needful performing above expectation, every citizens will become fully interested with the business of governance as well as transform their communities into a better place and makes it governable. look, communities is the apendage of governance.every progressive governance is a government that place essential values on how communities are governed and developed.the foundamental question is, how do we incoperate community governance becomes viable for national development? are they members of the federal, states, and local goverment security meeting?who are those funding communty governance?and of what effects is the community leadership to the mainstream governance?this questions are pertinent and unavoidable if we crave for a radical change for a new nigeria. partisan politics shouldn't go against the progress and dreams of the country.no human is as more as important than others.no personal interest should be bigger than that of the national interest.this is known as patriotism.the duty of every citizens to pacify when things are going wrong irrespective of party affiliations and cultural hogemonies, is what makes you a distinguished nigerian. we must obliterate our perchant for lack of accountability in governance at all levels . accountability in leadership is a driver that stimulates development.when leaders are accountable in what they do, it enshrines positive preceedent for every successive governance to follow suites. we must see things that are obnoxious as obnoxious and not seen black as white.if this national character becomes part of us in all of our national assignments, a new nigeria dream is achievable. page 2.

BOOK TITLE"NIGERIAN DREAMS"CLIFFORD.N.IGWE

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION. THE COUNTRY AND HER CITIZEN. NATIONAL BEHAVIOUR FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIp. AND CULTURAL IDENTITY. INTRODUCTION This distinctive chapter However, will unveal holistically the significance of this book to the readers with the clarity contains. nigerian dream, seeks to re-navigate some of the unhealthy behavours that distorted essential growth and therefore,rendered our nascent Democratic governance sterile.this book will pursue to achieving good governance through quality leadership at every spheres of our national assignments and selfless endeavours. observeably, the nigerian populace is becomeing more engolf with the negative mindset that the easiest platform for becoming afluent, is joining political leadership where sharing propensities has become the order of the day.let me use this unweavering opportunity to disabuse our mind. politics is all about sound leadership as well as a conscious process for attaining national growth and development for the overall welfare of the governed.if we cast our mind to some of our post electoral practices, you will concur with me that the electorates whom are enshrined with the constitutional power to elect political candidates into various public offices are those who aid some of the political candidates to manipulates electoral results against the weak opposition candidates who stood for a free and fair credible poll. the weak in the polity will continue to be oppressed until the electorates takes a drastic change standing to do things right in line with the constitutional provisions of the law.we seek for a country where no individual should appropriate power to himself outside the confide of the constitution against the citizen of the state.. preliminary reports has shown glaringly where police officers that is saddled with the responsibilities to maintain laws and orders, now boldly carries out brazzen lawless activities and marshall impunities against the unarmed electorates out to excercise their civic responsibilities. we crave for a country where true egaliterian society is paramount irrespective of our political class.Elitism musn't be a course but a clear cut for philiantropic participation in making the society a better place for the destitute . we strongly say no to those unbearable behaviour that has defiled our collective bargain for substaintial growth .we look forward for a new nigeria where every citizen's productive aspirations are achieved. A new nigeria where rule of law is unavoidable, unselective, and unweaveringly predominant in our national character. we must fight against corruption, ethnocism, parochialism, and lack of political will to galvanize our resources productively. we must effectively shun every political upheal that has disintegrated us into a segmented ethnic bigotricism. nigeria as a country with the current population over 250 million viable citizen, 36 states of the federation including federal capital territary, 774 local government and above 360 ethnic local languages must leverage on the strength of our population in taking actionable plans into productions against unproductive consumptions. we seek for the birth of a new nigeria where all human lives including that of an animals matters and takes a significant premium .look, people must understand the preciousness attached to all human lives as well as learn to protect them adequately with every available opportunities. we need a new nigeria where citizens should not be alleniated.A new country where justice is supreme and its equitable distribution of our national resources.A new nation where electoral guidelines are uncircumvent. A new nigeria where public office holders are not subcervient to the political godfatherism, both to that of the supremacy of the constitution and the public. page 1

A COUNTRY WITHOUT A DREAM"CLIFF DBOSS"

nigeria as a country with a population over 250 million people of diversed local languages, ethnic -cultural practices, and multi-religions,can't beat her chest before the international communities to reel out nigeria dreams.A country @63 years of uninterupted independence yet, underpened as the poverty based nation in the global index. with all her God given minerial resources and human capacity rating .A nation @63, ought to hav stood tall in all facets in infrastructural development and that of human capacity building.our nascent democracy is bleeding to death.educational sector is fast decaying looking for a total eradication of sharp practices and academic cleansing.our judiciary arms of govt, now a garage for corruption and ilegalities.the armed forces now discharges their core responsibilities with impunities and disciviled practices.medical practictioners do no longer care about human lives in exchanges for material gains.politicians now lord themselves against the people they ought to be serving in providing soccur to all the myraid challenges that has proclaimed disunity and unnationalistic behaviour.Academic lecturers are seriously fighting for salary increament and good living conditions over quality education that can compete favourably with other developing nation.the market women, now happily praying for the increament in pump price to cause inflations in our local produced.Commercial commuters now derives joy increasing cost of transportation with every slight giving opportunities in fuel hikes.some barage of lawers now praying for electoral malfeasance against parties and candidates to cash out big through adjudications at the election petition tribunals.Radio stations now cohessed to speak against truth and enshrined lies as there watchdog to curry the favour of the political elite. onaired personalities are been disengaged from acting duties for speaking against any political figure or parties with ineptitude .power generating companies are seriously presenting monthly bills to costumers for dark consumptions.Rule of law , now unattainable.our country nigeria, has collapsed abysmally irreparable.every single individuals are eargerly jostling for a golden opportunities to get hold of the national cake.the level of collateral damage fuel subsidy removal has caused to the innocent citizens of this country called nigeria, will certainly remain cumbersome in ameliorating this Tinubu made challenges that has eating deep to the fabrics of the nation.nigeria as a country is like a wayward father that does not give a dim on his children's security, welfare, education, and their health status.A country with no substaintial practical rule of law, is a lawless state where crime becomes unavoidable.the younger generation are fastlearning ilicited unnationalistic behavior from our present crops of political figures with obnoxious preceedents that will never promote national unity and sound leadership.the future of the younger generation , unvisualized , dimmed, as well as hanging unbalanced.a country without a dream, is already dead before its amalgamation.A country with men of questionable identities and widespread disintergrity, lacks the political will to inculcate quality morals and institutional ethics that accelerates national development.A country allowed to function independently in decision making, policy formation, constitutional laws, and management of both human and material resources without undue interference from the internation communities yet, crowling like a baby .A country endeared with sufficient God giving minerial resourses that places her GDP above 500 billion dollars, can not boost of a single functional refinery.A country where her leaders jets out to other foriegn nation for medical care, is unindependent.A country where children of the rich places more premium studying oversea against her local institution, is not yet to be called an independent nation.A country that has exceeding financial riches, yet seeking for foriegn loan to service official consuptions without productions of homemade products, can not be called an independent nation.A country where leaders invisage to live larger than The God of the universe, is unindependent.A country where citizens organizes civil protest and counter civil protest, is nothing but a joker before committee of nations.A country where elite in the society speakes from the two sides of the mouth, is already a failled nation.A country with the mindset of her citizens been tailored into grabbing propensities in getting rich at all cost, is laughable.as such, should reconstruct a sound holistic national behaviour capable of enhancing positive development.we therefore, demand for our national dream to be articulated and pass on from one generation to another if we must sourmount all our national challenges and setting a solid pace for unity, progress, selfless services to our fatherland, and enshrine one nigerianess in all we do as a country irrespective of our religous-cultural background, and our political affiliations.we must display the character of a sportmanship ones elections hav come and gone as well as collectively forge a united front for the overt achievement of this project called nigeria.nigeria must not disintegrate on the basis that elections has been lost and won.we must learn how to master time between politics and real governance.season for politics should be left for politics, and seasons for real governance must not be compromised for politics.we must ensponch those political behaviours that mar national growth and development in giving out political appointments and sensitive key positions must be spread accordingly.lopsided appointment fam the embers of war and insecurity .we must be very meticulous in taking national decisions to avoiding causing excrutiating pains to the minds of the citizens.we must work in unison with some significant stakeholders to brainstorm and champion a developmental blueprint in lifting millions of nigerians out of poverty as well as working asideously for the pursuance of the sustainable development goals (sdg).looking at the demographic numbers of out of school children in nigeria, it is pitiable and a dangerious situation.A child without proper education, is a child whose mindset is illogical, irrational, and crime driven practices becomes the order of the day .we must pragmatize our governance out of trial and error techniques.we must learn to put a roundpeg in a roundhole away from our usual methodologies where appointment are given against meritocracies.we must discharge our duties with the fear of God and obliterate wickedness , pride, and arrogance. we must show some respect to the electorates and the citizens in whose mandate we all used to get to power.we must not be power drunk or intoxicated forgetting , power is transient and not perminent.we must fight gallantly for the emtity called nigeria to remain indivisible and negotiable to incoperate some region that may hav somewhat felt been left out.we must take a boldstep in galvanizing our resources into productive ventures not to the things that divides us.we must create am atmospherical contigency approach for every public workers to discharge her duty with fairness, intergrities, and due deligenc. we must accept our diverse culture as strength of unity , not a divisions.we must love one another irrespective of gender difference, ethnic dishogemony, and socio strata to propell this country nigeria to the next level for a peaceful coxistence and undying dream of our forebearers.we must shun all forms of foriegn borrowing , and manage with whatever we hav as a country to be able to decide who governs us without any forms of imparialistic tendencies.we must learn how to build, and not to destroyed. we must try as much as possible learn how to consolidate on any existing structure with unwavering rule of law, and discared inconsistent supreme court judgement with poor preceedence.the time for every well meaning nigeria to prove the undying love for the unity of this nation and reclaiming her pride as the african giant, is right here.the time to redouble our fruitful efforts in bringing back our mouribond sectors to function effectively in creating job employment and increase a substaintial growth for revenue generation, is here.we must work asidiously to boost our electric power generation to enable businesses and industries thrive competitively with other developing nation , is right here.we must elect leaders with soundmind out of sick leaders.we must begin to sort for our creative youths and assist their creativities for national development.we must leverage on the opportunities created by our founding fathers whose intentions for federal character principles was never to short changed any segment of the country away from the benefits the project nigrria may hav gained. the prosperity of a nation, starts with the national character of the people that makes up a nation. my name is cliff dboss.A prolific writer, exponent"political
