NIGERIA

EVERYTIME I WANT TO PICK UP A PEN AND WRITE ABOUT MY COUNTRY,ITS WITH SO MUCH PAIN,IT HURT SO MUCH THAT IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES,IT HURTS BECAUSE ITS LIKE WE ARE GOING ROUND IN CYCLES.

EVERYDAY I PRAY FOR A MIRACLE FOR NIGERIA,I DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE A “DEPRIVED CRITIC” WHINING ABOUT HOW OUR LEADERS HAVE STOLEN MONEY AND CARTED THEM AWAY TO A FOREING LAND,SOMEONE ONCE SAID WE ARE NOT POOR BUT AM TEMPTED TO SAY HE IS WRONG, OUR ROADS ARE BAD,OUR HOSPITALS ARE ILL-EQUIPED,OUR SCHOOLS ARE BEARLLY FUNCTIONING,SECURITY IS BEYOUND SURVIVAL,AND POWER SUPPLY IS HOPELESS.

I KNOW THESE ALL SOUND LIKE I AM WHINNING AND WALLOWING IN SELF-PITY BUT THIS IS MY HOME,THIS IS MY ROOTS ,SO I PICK UP MY SWORD,WHICH IS MY PEN AND I INTEND TO FIGHT WITH A DIFFERNCE,TO BE OPEN-MINDED AND NOT BE LIKE A CRITIC THOSE WORDS ARE SPALSHED ON THE PAGES OF OUR DAILIES WITH NO REAL SOLUTION.

I WANT BRING TO THE TABLE SOLUTIONS,SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS THAT COULD HELP BRING HOPE AND RESTORATIO TO OUR HOMELAND,I CANT DO THIS ALONE SO I NEED EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES IN THESE NATION TO SEND IN THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND LETS MAKE A DIFFERNCE.
