Nigeria: A Place To Feel Free

 

With or without common sense is everybody vying for their freedom, in fact, every living want to gain independence either in collective or lonely. Apart from seeking independence by either collectively or singly, they also want it in any form or place they are likely to find it. Feeling conscripted is when they fail to sense their freedom.

Independence is so paramount to people that people wish to gain it at every moment it comes to their mind. I do not know whether others think of their setting, that is, where they are living as what is hindering their independence, but I can say it, that I am a cautious person about the settings. Citing who is suppose to work in a setting different from his/her present setting due to the nature of his/her thought far beyond his/her present country and thereby hindering his/her success and continue to live without freedom.

Consequently, when someone is unable to succeed, definitely, he/she will have to depend on others to earn living. This will be depriving him/her of the independence desired by all. The self-awareness creative thinking of travelling to a setting where he/she is ardently needed is very essential for gaining independence.

In addition, if one has ever gone to another state to spend holiday, will be able to know what it is to travel. It feels good as it always feel to have independence by having fun where you are under your own total control. Anyway, you are your boss and guidance as it is your choosing place to feel free from any kind of distress from any form of control for at least a time being.
Nothing is like independence, a state where you have the right to your own opinion. There is a popular idiom that a “beggar can not be a chooser”. It is good to have opinion and the inherently pleasure of having the right to espouse it and defend. This is a kind of independence but can someone under conscription have opinion? Obviously, that is a big NO. Many will gain independence by living where they will be free from this conscription. The conscription in this sense means; living under others control. Some will need to travel to a place that is suitable for them to earn living and be respected, since everyone has the right to respect to dignity and worth.
Many are yet to be aware of the word “fact”. A fact stand alone and someone have to be a Fact if not otherwise, a Fallacy. It needs to be more of the two concepts; Fact and Fallacy. A fact is a statement that stands alone regardless of who espouses it and posterity will judge. Whereas, a fallacy is a statement that can not stand alone, it falls all the time it is attempted to be raises, and posterity will judge as well. Therefore, someone who is a Fact will stand alone, living under his/her ultimate control and this does not mean lacking social network. In a nutshell, a Fact is an independent being.

Furthermore, to be a fact in most cases required to move from where you are not recognized and not in demand, to where you are resourceful and much respected for value construed in you. Some are yet to recognize this hypothesis as they give less importance to it.
When Chinua Achebe said “you will have what is good for you and I will have what is good for me. Let the kite perch and let the eagle perch too. If one say no to other let the wing break”. My perspective on this was that, he was trying to say that the way to gain independence is different and we all have the right to it but his word “what is good for me and what is good for you” is trying to quote that we all got what we deserve due to the way we react to way we want or chose to get our independence. If you chose to get your independence by awful and awkward way that is your way and will get what you deserve. However, if you think perfectly and sought for alternative by considering the factors that could make you to gain your independence and be free, then that is your way and you will get what you deserve and noticeably, nobody can stop you from achieving freedom. The word “let the wing break” have to be looked at with bird-eyes view, because we can not abdicate to parents view. Therefore, if you want to get independence you have to “perch”, that is, travel to where to get to your highest point and independence. You will then recite:

It’s time to spread the news abroad,
That you are well prepared,
To be freed.
