Somewhere on the Lagos Island, near Race Course, you find a billboard with the message, “Make your dreams come true”. It is so big and bold in a way that no bystander with eyes can avoid seeing it.It’s in ways such as this that this very message, so urgent and pressing, has been drummed repeatedly into our heads. It is the clarion call that says to us, “You cannot give up now, but make certain your dreams come true”.
For our own sakes, let’s not act as though we are deaf to this reasoning! For life, to every one of us, is but a short time between eternities. The time to rise to the occasion is now, not tomorrow. This time is when we stop letting dreams be nothing more than dreams.
Let a great measure of curiosity possess our minds. Let’s seek to know what latent power lies within us. Let’s bring to bear all that we are, so the world will have no doubt of having met us.
By will, by faith, by our heart and sinew and nerve, by all that is in us we must make it against all odds. Excuses must not and never be our defense.
And be it that when the years have well come upon us, our children should brim with pride when we tell of our journey’s tale. A tale of dreams accomplished.
