Three Reasons (Rs) I love Nigeria

Agriculture / fertile soil

Eventhough we have plenty of natural resources we do not depend on that, everyone including civil servant, business men and women, public servant, and farmers themselves invest in agriculture, that's the more reason we have food in abundance, secondly due to fertile soil everything we plant, during harvest time we all enjoy it and appreciate our hard work, that's why agriculture has become one of the moving and rewarding business in my country.

Culture

There are plenty culture in my country, that you can enjoy, plenty tourist center like obudu catle ranch each 4 point, tilapia Ireland,5 star, zoo, museum etc, they are too numerous to mention.
Most of this culture is our heritage from our fore father's and cannot be change since they are long standing thing from generation to generation these helps to keep our country.

I love our traditional attire

and our traditional delecaces, you need to try it, they are always yummy yummy

Hardworking

Eventhough we are blessed with plenty natural resources, we do not depend on it because it has become a national cake that belongs to only politicians, so ordinary people are all Independent working had in all sphere like doing lucrative business, farming, civil / public workers, trading etc inorder to achieve their aim and make it in life, they do not depend on government work, they do whatever that will sustain their living.

Three Changes (Cs) I would like to see

Bad Government

Although I know that is only God's kingdom that will bring an end to the wicked system of things that we are now but until then I'm hoping to see Nigerian government changing to what the real meaning of democratic Government which is government of the people and to the people,in which the poor and the low class will have a say and be treated well as human, when minimum wage of civil servant will be above 30,000 naira that cannot even buy a bag of rice, pay school fees, rent and so many other things that are necessity of life.
I'm looking forward to when they will use the allocation for education and health sector and do the needful for the poor children to be educated and received appropriate free treatment, including pregnant women and elderly without politicians puting that money into their foreign account and invest in another country living the poor to continue to be poor.

Insecurity

One of the biggest problem we have in my country is insecurity like kidnapping, assassination, arm robber, bandit, unknown and known gun men who destroy humans especially young and innocent promising youth and properties. Other forms like domestic violence, and child abuse, these results in living a life of fear, you cannot send a child to buy something for you outside not to talk of them going to school and coming back alone without someone picking them, all these makes life difficult and sad due to bad news everywhere, and government is not doing anything about it to bring solution to all this problems so I'm looking forward to when government will do something about this at least if not put a stop to it,a reduction in in crime rate.

Unemployment

One will spend all his /her effort, time and money and go to school on graduating there is no job apportunity for them due to ghost workers the top politicians and government officials employ, they don't employ any longer with merit rather with bribe and government relatives, these make a lot of people traveling out of the country then the view that is remaining are suffereing from brain drain due to work overload.
Government does not create job opportunities by building companies, and good infrastructure in existing one, poor roads imagine patient in the hospital staying in the ward that is flooding and leaking when it rains, children sitting on the floor to learn in school inspite of our plenty natural resources, and billion of dollars they borrow from world bank

Conclusion

My dear people if I'm given opportunity to write more than 3changes, it will take many hours if not a whole day to finish it, because they are countless, my country will soon reach a stage beyond transformation, and is only God that will help us in my country.

I invite @emmybless, @eddyvic, @iddy to participate in this Contest.
