FREE VISA FOR YOU!


Many might jump at this while some won’t give a hoot but whatever the case may be, I know this piece is coming in handy.

Travelling abroad has become the greatest dream of some Nigerian youths. People dream it, pray about it, brag about it, kill for it, steal for it and die for it. The recent I heard is of Mr Emeka who found his way to the tyre compartment of a plane all in a bid to travel to Atlanta. He was however found dead with his blood and mangled body when the plane arrived at Atlanta. What a sad end for a promising young man who left his wife, children and family behind for a desperate search for greener pastures. Reports have it that they pay as much as 800,000 for the processes. Couldn’t this same money be multiplied by a man who has a vision? What Mr Emeka never knew is that it’s more of a vision than the location!

Mr Emeka’s case is just one out of thousands of sad tales that Nigerians have been exposed to all in a bid to be in the white man’s land where the streets are “paved with gold” Who is ready to tell others not to make travelling abroad a priority if not Mrs Shade who got married to her husband at the age of 30 and after two kids, the husband decides to leave for abroad to search for “greener pastures” Today Mrs Shade is about 50yrs old and is still expecting her husband to come back home.

Is it Felicia who lost her boyfriend to the abroad thing after many years of a purposeful relationship with a vow never to forsake one another? While Felicia waited for her boyfriend faithfully, the next thing she heard was that he was getting married to someone else over there and hope’s she’d understand. Understand what?

Is it about the ones who don’t see their Parents for over a decade only to be told that they are dead and they cannot even afford to come home for the funeral because they might not be able to go back there? I tell you, the true value and beauty of travelling abroad is if you can go and come back at YOUR WILL!

Is it the ones that have missed memorable times to be spent with their families like weddings, naming ceremonies, graduations, e.t.c ?

So many youths have spent thousands of naira in securing Visa, while some were duped, others found out after getting there that they have to work through their nose to pay back the debts that they have incurred. Some have further placed an embargo on their career and education because they know that one day, they’d be flying over the seas.

With the alarming rate of people both young and old who want to make it out of the country at all cost, one would want to wonder if there was a switch over there that at the touch of it, money vomits itself. No doubt, their standard of living is quite good and they have good facilities and infrastructures that make life comfortable but really, its still about WORK WORK WORK and WORK. Infact, you can’t afford some kind of laxity you exhibit in Nigeria over there.

Nigeria as a country is the worst hit because of the constant brain drain and it’s effect on the economy on all sides but should we all continue to leave and watch Nigeria rut away from afar? I’ve been in church at different times where people share their visa testimonies. I’m left to wonder, is it really a testimony? I believe a change of location just happened to you and not a guarantee for the fulfillment of destiny. A failure in Nigeria can be a failure anywhere. Now, don’t be quick to say na because you no get moni… Many of us have the money and the connection but still refuse to go just anywhere because we understand the place of vision and the place of location.

To me, big boys are not those Abroad but those that can go and come back at will, not those that used all their life savings to go and even after 20 years, you can’t come back because if you do, you might never be able to come back home.

Ask your folks that are there and those that have gone and come back. There are many over there living purposeless and wasteful lives that can not come back for fear of shame and rejection. I remember a friend of mine who saved up all he had and few days he was to travel, God told him not to go. Really, if you were the one would you obey or rather tell God to wait and allow you to come back?

Here’s my point, there’s a vision larger than life in the heart of every man which comes first before location. If you’re in the worst place, you’d thrive if your vision is there. Bishop Oyedepo once said that no matter how honey flows in a particular place, if you’re not sent there, it would never flow to you. Please don’t be deceived by the glamour, the fun and the cars. After all said and done, it is vision and fulfillment that matters. There are some people that their world will never hear them because they are far away in Florida where God never sent them and there are some who have stayed to faithfully nurture their dreams and Florida and other Nations of the world yearn to have them in their county to teach them how it works. Ask the likes of Bishop David Oyedepo, Fela Durotoye, Tosin Akerele, Deolu Akinyemi and Bukola Scott(I’m not lolling O!)

It takes us to sit down and nurture faithfully and diligently what we’ve got because God is true and cannot lie… Seest thou a man diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings and not mere men. A man’s gift makes room for him…

If you’re there and perhaps you feel a desire to soar but because you’re a second class citizen you can’t, then why not come where your wings can be spread wide enough to fly? Here’s a call to those out there… Finish your courses and come back home, Nigeria needs you and the destinies that are tied to yours are crying for your hand. I hear someone say, what do you have for them? Well; like Fela Durotoye said at Ignite 2010,…”For the sake of the Land”

In wrapping this all up, after getting a clear direction of the problems you’re born to solve and you’ve found out in clear terms that your place is in Nigeria, would you still rather leave? THE FREE VISA IS STILL AVAILABLE!!!
