Bigotry, Nepotism and corruption have riddled the country. These values have been instilled and drilled into the hearts and mind of an average Nigerian. How then can we move when we keep taking one step forward and two steps back.

You are a teacher and collect money from your students to pass and you blame a house of rep member for selling out contract for cash.

You are a civil servant and demand extra fee from people just to perform your sole responsibility and you blame the government of incompetence.

It’s ironic, they are just bigger thieves while you are the smaller thief.  The kind of values we train our children with would determine the direction the country is headed in Years to come.

We spend our time watching and listening to Wizkid and Davido and know the lyrics to every single song they release, but how many ministers do we know their first names.

Do we even know the house of reps members representing our constituency at the federal level?

I mean these are people we elect to make decisions and policies that would be favourable to us, yet we allow them do whatever pleases them and are completely oblivious of there activities while we are dancing to science student by Olamide.

Corruption and bigotry has been in Nigeria right from the inception, during the days of Festus Okotie eboh, the fajuyis , Tafawa balewa and ironsi , and generation to generation it has been passed down to us.

What wasn’t passed along was the idea of the legacy these leaders try to leave behind. As corrupt as festus Okotie eboh was he would still be remembered for his involvement in the 3rd mainland bridge.

Yakubu Gowon would always be a part of Nigerias history, Muritala Muhammed, Olusegun Obsanjo , these are leaders that have left their mark and would forever be remembered.

What do we have today? Rotimi Ameachi? Rochas Okorocha? Atiku Abubakar? Men who know not more than their immediate benefial needs, and who don’t see beyond their nose.

Our value matters and our value can be determined by how and what we do , and how we conduct ourselves in our every day life. Change starts with you and not Buhari, Let’s get the diagnosis right before we start treatment.

One person cannot solve the problem of 160million people that started more that 60 Years ago.

Nigeria would a better place if only you would be a better person.
