Nigeria is a fertile land, full of prospect, rich cultural heritage and a promising future; a land with bright opportunities, far from poverty and decay. But this ever-green land has not yet produced its fruits because of the powers-that-be. I live in a rural area where it appears everything appears to be impossible. With many sick people but few hospitals, many children who cannot afford schooling, gender discrimination, poor security and high rates of unemployment, our leaders do not care for us, the followers.
This country is filled with people who have good ideas, philosophy, concepts, designs, and wonderful viewpoints but still languishes in lack. This is because we only document our ideas, we never implement them. If only we could re-examine our priorities and try our best to transform our ideas into realities, then, we can boldly say that this great country will soon become one of the most desirable places to live, on earth—a place with youth who are far from juvenile delinquencies and adult who are honest in conscience and in deeds.
A place where every child will be educated, all sick people will be able to pay for their hospital bills and a place where stable power supply will be available, affordable and guaranteed in every home is what we long for. A country with free and fair elections, incorruptible uniform men and abundant food from the agricultural sector is the desire of every true lover of Nigeria. Our desire is a great country with leaders far from greed, corruption, environment void of crime, religious crisis, rituals, ethnicity, rape, kidnapping and tribalism. I see a country with stable economy, education and increased employment opportunities, with people who are ready to work hard and solve their community problems. These and many more are what I wake up every morning to see. Nigeria will be great.
