The Nigeria Of Today

Nigeria, a land flowing with milk and honey, a land filled with honest politicians, the giant of Africa, a land of peace and unity, a great nation, but that's all in the past, THE NIGERIA OF TODAY is a land filled with strife, hunger and starvation

a land with dishonest and corrupt leaders, the giant of Africa, yet people have to struggle very hard to make a living, a land filled with blood shed and insecurity.

Sometimes, one would just sit back and ask the question WHY?, Where did it all go wrong?
It all went wrong, when people started caring less about their neighbours, and more about themselves alone, it started falling apart, when politicians became greedy, and would go to any length, just to win an election, at the expense of people's lives, it started becoming a big problem, when people in authority cared less about the Masses, and were more concerned about their pockets, when parents were no longer being payed their salaries no matter how hard they worked
They Nigeria of today can be way better than the Nigeria of yesterday, if only the high and mighty can let go of their selfish desires, do away with corruption, and cremate injustice and dishonesty for good, but they journey of a thousand miles they say, begins with a single step. Is there anyone around you in need?, Is there someone you're purposely being unfair to?, Help him or her, treat everyone equally, because kindness is contagious, one single act of kindness can go a long way in the life of a person.

CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU AND ME
