While mother and father land has witnessed a lot of growth in the past sixty-five years as an independence country in the western part of Africa, but it could be better.

Nigeria could be better if we can have a better:

1. Leader and not a school certificate forger as a president.

2. Transparency in government's - accountability and genuine standards.

3. $100 or slightly above as minimum wage.

4. A tax system that works genuinely for all at anytime and anywhere.

5. A wealthy and healthy citizens' welfare that actually works.

6. A judiciary that actually works for the people - prosecute everybody honestly and vindicate the honest.

7. Business leaders and market women/men that doesn't cheat the poor of their hard-earned money (Amos 8: 4-6).

8. Road and transportation networks that connect us to opportunities across the country.

9. Mineral resources are genuinely administered across all states of Nigeria.

They know all these, but they will not do them because we refused to vote the right people in. 

The history book contains the names of those who navigated our shared home to this present situation and predicament and one day - WE SHALL RISE AGAINST THEM: not to harm them but to ask them to leave our dear country ALONE and so doing we shall grow to our full potentials.
