SHORT NOTE...

My heart bleeds with concern and my mind rages with thoughts on how to make things better. What can we do? what do we do? we cannot continue like this. Yesterday, it was Kano, today its Jos and we pray it doesn't happen anywhere again. Things are happening! We are still waiting for our girls to be brought back, bomb blasts , killings by fulani herdsmen, oil bunkering , corruption , bad leadership etc the list continues.

          However, my reaction to this issues have always been " What can I do to make things better" and I believe that it should be the reaction of all. Some have given up, some don't care anymore and others just want to leave the country and run away. The matter on ground is an issue, but also very important is how we react to these issues. Do we take them as normal or something to be changed? Nigerians should begin to take responsibility for the happenings in our country. We should begin to make significant impact to making this country a better place.

         Moreover, Ir is sad to note that our government has failed us. But I choose to look at it from the perspective that, some of us are at fault. Some of us sold our soul to the devil by exchanging our votes for money. The excuse of the poverty rate of the nation always come around when the issue of electoral rigging and malpractice is discussed, but when you sell your vote " You mortgage your future for a temporary relief". Although some have so suffered that they think that they do not have an option, but I want to encourage that your life begins with what you believe you are and that you should not sacrifice values at the altar of comfort.

           We will be in 2015 soon, we should take responsibility for our lives and not take up arms from those that will not give the guns to their own children. We should act, vote responsibly and act like someone that is a partner to Nigeria's progress. let love for nation and patriotism drive you; soon the essence you bring to life will add essence to your life.   

             The government needs your partnership to be corrupt. If you refuse to bribe or be bribed, how will it happen effectively.This is dangerous, but for this nation to become a pride sacrifices will have to be made. Corruption at the government level, begins at the grassroot level
