The wake up call for intellectual Nagas is now or never. The whole state machinery has totally broken down beyond repair. As Dr. Hoshi has rightly put it, “Peace prevails in a country where the leaders are honest, visionary and courageous and have the sense of humanity”. Things have reached a level of no return. In this atmosphere of lawlessness, gun culture, corruption, lack of work culture, lack of development, identity crisis, issue of sovereignty, integration etc. the new generation is totally confused, growing up to be unruly, rowdy and totally uncultured characters. The very existences of the Nagas are at stake. In this kind of turbulent environment where the people are suppressed in all fields, the foundation has already been laid down for a civil war.
We elect leaders who are third graders, self styled Mafia don type, whose only ambition is muscle power and money power, amassing wealth after wealth. God alone knows whether he will be allowed to take it to his next life. Whereas on the other hand the bureaucrats of Nagaland think themselves to be aristocrats, not approachable by commoners. Policies are implemented only in papers. The people have not benefited by any of the so called development. Money meant for development are hijacked by our VIP’s for their selfish gains e.g. acquiring immovable properties after properties both in Nagaland and outside, foreign trips, sending their children abroad etc etc. Up there it’s a fight for power and luxury where as the rest will have to live from hand to mouth. Intellectual Nagas, the time has come to arm yourself with the power of the pen and speak out for the love of the people. The risks are involved, but God will be on our side. We will go down history as the true sons and daughters of the motherland. Nagas come forward, let us join hands and elect a leader with vision 2050. Whether we agree to disagree, we need a dictator with military discipline to lead the people forward.
Under this visionary leadership, I foresee a new Nagaland emerging.

Under this leadership Nagaland will see unimaginable prosperity. Wealth will be equally distributed. There will be no haves and have-nots. The word impossible does not exist if we sincerely want to achieve our goal.
Intellectuals, senior citizens, youth with vision come forward now. In this competitive age, Nagas should not be left behind. We will together build a strong nation and march forward with dignity and pride because we love our motherland, we will contribute to make it a better place to live in for our children and generations to come. Intellectual forums, pressure groups are being formed this very minute. The search for this leader as already begun. Will you be the one?
