It is my pleasure to participate in this engagement challenge because it means so much to me. I have been complaining of so many things going wrong in my country and finally I get to write on what should be done or what I would do if I were the President.

Before I go into topic proper, let me give you an overview of my country so that you would be able to flow with me as we have people from all over the world on this platform.

Nigeria is located in West Africa. It is the country with the highest population in Africa with a population of over 213 million people Source. Nigeria is also ranked the seventh most populous country in the world. We gained independence from British colonial rule in October, 1960 and since then we have constantly struggled with various political, social, and economic challenges.

One of the significant challenges Nigeria faces is corruption, which degenerate various sectors of society, including government, business, and law enforcement. According to Transparency international my country is the 145th most corrupt country in the world out of 180 countries that were assessed. The index is gotten based on the corruption of its private sector.
Due to the widespread corruption in Nigeria, development efforts re undermined, public trust in government is eroded and inequality and marginalisation prevails.

Another major issue is insecurity, particularly from insurgent groups like Boko Haram in the northeast, IPOB in the South East and banditry in the northwest. These groups have continually carried out violence acts which is not limited to kidnappings, bombings, shootout and attack on civilians which has lead to many people being displaced from their homes, loss of lives and fear.

Ethnic and religious tensions also pose a critical challenge. If you go to twitter now there is an online rift between the Igbos and the Yorubas, in the North the Christians are not safe because of Islamic extremists.
The reason for this problems is because of the struggle for resources, historical grievances Liem the biafran war and political power.

Last but not the least, Nigeria grapples with poor infrastructure, most deplorable is unreliable power supply, poor road networks, and limited access to clean water and healthcare. As a result these infrastructural deficiencies hinders our economic growth as a nation and negatively impact the quality of life for many Nigerians.

My top three priorities as President of Nigeria will be:

• Security
• Human development
• Agricultural development

Reasons is there is so much insecurity in the country, kidnappings, bombings, etc. Once there is insecurity in a country development will be stalled. Investors will not want to come and invest in your country.
To tackle this insecurity I will appoint credible service chiefs that will not be compromised in this fight.
I will train our security personnel and provide them with weapons that will make their work easier and safer.

Human development is another priority, imagine decorating a house and bringing a pig inside to live. What happens is that the pig will .was the whole house up. I will invest in educating the citizens why they should follow the constitution and be law abiding.
I will give them access to social amenities so that they won't be tempted to do evil.

Finlay agriculture, Nigeria is so dependent on oil which is our natural resource and this affects our economy since the global oil prices directly affects us.
But if we invest in agriculture we will be able to have food and eradicate hunger in the country. We will also be able to export this agro products and earn foreign exchange.

The specific steps I would take as President to improve education in Nigeria is first of all to scrap the syllabus we are currently using. Our syllabus in the educational system is older than our country's independence.
You could imagine that computer science students can graduate from the University without knowing how to code or fix anything. They only know maths and statistics.

To address this I will set up a committee that will revamp our educational sector by

• Changing our syllabus to meet international standards

• Declaring free education from nursery to secondary school and making University tuition as affordable as possible.

• In healthcare, I will do the one thing we lack in Nigeria and that is good healthcare equipment and facilities. More people have died from lack of equipment to manage their health issues than from lack of medical personnel.

• I will also copy the West by signing a bill to bring in social security services where people will have access to free medical care from taxpayers money.

There will be many challenges no doubt, the first being corruption.
Many of the people who have been exploiting the country's resources as if it were their property would be a thorn in my flesh.

Insecurity will be another issue as I will face the terrorist organisation that will want to undermine my development in the country.

There will also be the issue of finances because Nigeria is owing alot of debts. I would not want to borrow again.

Of course I will, I will do what no one has the balls to do. I will make sure everyone both leaders and non leaders who have exploited the country corruptly will be arrested and brought to justice. They will face the full wrath of the Law, if I do not do this they will be the ones to fight my administration.

The next thing I will do is to unite the tribes that are at loggerheads in Nigeria. I will go through a the processes of mediation and bring about peaceful coexistence.

I will also promote religious tolerance and make sure no religion kills another because of differences in beliefs. We are first humans so if your God ask you to kill someone for Him then you should be ready to die for him because I will personally bring back the death penalty for such offense

I will go around and monitor important projects that are being executed to make sure that the right work is being done. I will go there unannounced.

To summarise, if I were to be the President of my country I will do everything possible to make it better than it was.
Nigeria is my country and I do not have any other country to call home. Many people want to travel out and go to greener pastures, but I believe this country can be a green pasture were others come to eat and dwell.

I invite @bossj23, @goodybest and @rmm31 to participate in this engagement challenge.
