LIFE JOURNEY! by Alhaji Muideen Adeleke

LIFE JOURNEY!

Can be likened to a typical football team, where relevance is positional. To be successful... Some would only be squad players. While some would best be reckoned with,as playmakers. The reality is that,many destined to be defenders would never make it big, as strikers. Any artiste divinely favoured to thrive in duet, would only end up a flop if he goes solo. Have you ever seen a natural goalkeeper flourished as an outfield player? In the journey of life, individuals are often assigned roles, based on perculiarites. It would only be suicidal for a team to appoint a squad member at best, as the skipper. Leaders are few,the led are many. Recall the combination of Sir Shina Peters and Segun Adewale in those days. Do you still remember Lagbaja's vocal backup Ego? Let's know that the world is peopled by a cast... with individually assigned roles. We must not jeopardize it's smooth running with rat race. An aircraft with co-pilots on contrasting pages hardly survives turbulence. Let's appreciate our individual perculiarites and acknowledge leadership. We have all it takes to be the best as a Nation. Only if we can imbibe mutual respect and tolerate one another. Can the vessel of the nation, enjoy a smooth sail. In the eyes of the storms. God bless Nigeria.
