About Nigeria

Nigeria is a country that is located in the western coast of Africa and it's called the Gaint of Africa. Well I know you might be wondering why Nigeria is often called Nigeria of Africa? The reasons is because Nigeria in terms of Africa countries seem to be the largest in terms of population and economy and according to World Bank, Nigeria economy is regarded as the emerging market where natural resources can be get. However, in term of economy development we are still under developed.

Nigeria shares it boundaries with Gulf of Guinea between others countries. Cameron and Chad on the east and Benin republic on the west. Nigeria as a country on his own has a land mass of 932, 768 sqm which is extend all the way from the Gulf of Guinea to the Atlantic Ocean areas in the south which is typically a forest area. In Nigeria you can find the Sahel and Sharara Desert places in the northern part of the country where its share boundaries with Niger republic.

Now since you have known about Nigeria briefly, let me take you straight to the reasons why I love Nigeria without wasting your time.

For over some years now, there have been endless reports that are negative about Nigeria due to the crisis in the northern part of Nigeria. Unfortunately, this reports has damaged Nigeria reputation both at home and abroad which is not true. Even with the endless negative reports that has been circulating around the world concerning Nigeria, I can tell you that there are still uncountable good things happening in Nigeria that will change the report from negative to positive and make the front pages of newspapers and also the minds of those that are seeing Nigeria as something else.

Since Nigeria is under the umbrella of democracy, there are things we share in common despite our ethnic groups we still love ourselves wether you are an hausa, yourubas or Igbos when it's come to democracy love is what lead. In this case, I have details out the three reasons why I love Nigeria.

Three Reasons I Love Nigeria

Diversity in Unity Among Nigerians

Starting from the south to the north, west and east in Nigeria, there are different ethnic groups that have been living together for years without fighting. There share things in common. Starting from independence regim to military regim and down to the civilian administrations, that we are today we have been living as one Nigeria despite our ethic differences. If you find yourself in the northern part of Nigeria, you will be treated as they brothers and sisters because we are all one Nigeria. Yes that is our slogan.

However, there have been several attempts both from the north, east and west to divide us, and due to the strong unity in diversity all have been unsuccessful so far. At the north, you will hear them fighting for Arewa when they person isn't holding a political position, equally in the east you will hear them shutting Biafra but even with all this drama we are still one Nigeria.

I could remember last year, when I was serving in the northern part of Nigeria all the way from South down to the north to serve my fatherland,I and my colleagues was highly welcome and well treated by the people. We share, a lot with the peoples of Mayo Sum-sum.

Many tourist attractions and natural resources

Without doubt or me saying much Nigeria is a very beautiful country and it's bless with so many wonderful creature. If you have ever traveled to places like Cross River State, Jos, Lagos Taraba State you can attest to this fact that Nigeria is a bless country.

In Nigeria there are thousands of tourist attractions located in different states. We have waterfall in Cross River State my own state, Nok, culture, World Heritage Sites, Benin Bronze head, lekki conversation centre and many more. Without evidence of doubting what I am saying below are photos of some of the tourist attractions in Nigeria.

Aside these tourist attractions above,there are still thousands of natural resources in Nigeria are bringing thousands of Investors from all over the country. The good things about all this affomentioned tourist attractions in Nigeria is that everyone is free to explore the places so they can experience the beauty of Nigeria.

Hardworking People

A lot of foreigners like working with Nigerian because we are hard-working people.Anywhere you find a Nigerian at home or abroad, you will see them working very hard. I love my country for this.A lot of Nigerians work from dusk to dawn just to out food on they table.As a Nigerian we do this without waiting for the government to come to our aid.Resilience is what is still keeping Nigeria youth going even with the way our politicians has aboundon they works.

As a country a lot of Nigerians don't depends on the government before they can work. So many Nigerians are into business and agriculture and it's the main reason why the country never lack foods nor depends much on imported products.

Three Changes I Want To See In Nigeria

---

This changes make me to reflect backed in 2015 general election that happened in Nigeria. During the election period,. Nigerians voted for change because we all want change. But today, the reverse has been the case after those that promised to bring change no longer talk about change anymore.

Well, as a citizen of am being giving the opportunity or mandate to rule there are a lot of things that I would change not just three. Although, for the fact that this contest requires three things I would want to see change in these three areas below.

• Leadership
• PHCN (NEPA)
• Police

For Nigeria bad a country to grow better, it is these three affomentioned things listed above that would inspire the growth of Nigeria. Let's started looking at them one after the other.

Leadership Structure:

Everything about the leadership structure in my country is becoming worst day by day and I think the only way out is to amend some of it constitutions. Nigeria is now more on godfatherism than qualifications or merit. Sometimes I do wonder if there's anything like getting things merit again in Nigeria. I would love to see changes in the entry qualifications, level and others for becoming a leader. All those seeking for a leadership position, the government should make sure that they have undergone both physchology and logic test before coming out to contest. By doing this we will know those that are ready to serve and those that are coming into power for the money.

In this case, I will take my village Bekwarra where I am coming from here in Nigeria. Bekwarra is a village where top political oppointees are coming from. Now even with these too political oppointees nothing is still working in my town. It is only in Nigeria that a lot of people believe that leadership are meant for old men that can think about making use of Technology.

Also I would want to see a change whereby young Nigerians are allow for contesting for either president, Governors, Senators or any political office. Infact as I have earlier said, everything about Nigeria leadership should be change. Nigeria can be great and inspired to dream big when only there is proper leadership.

PHCN (NEPA):

I would love to see a change in Nigeria power sectors. If am been giving the opportunity,I would revamp and decentralized Nigeria power generation, and make it open for everyone and sundry.There are hundreds upon hundreds of places in Nigeria where they is no light. We all know that lack of power supply distrupt production and makes places not to develop. A lot of people's pay for NEPA bill without seeing light for a month which is usually bad.

The organization structure of PHCH (NEPA), is not what one will rely on for light. I would like a big change in NEPA, where there will be 24/7 hours light.

Police Force:

Nigeria police sectors, seem to be corrupt among all other sectors in the country. 95% of the #endSar crisis that happened in 2020 in Nigeria was as a result of how a set of police is killing innocent citizens. In my country, there is a slogan that said Police is your friend. Well if you believe that just know that it's an opposite of what they are saying. The big issue with Nigeria police is that there are too corrupt and is what is causing problem in the country.

Well, I would love to see a change in the Nigeria police sectors where community police are been created. Secondly the government should increase the salaries of police and stop them from collecting bribe on the road.

Police are the people that are suppose to maintain law and order but they are the one breaking laws. A lot is happening in the police sectors and I believe is something that Nigeria government need to look at urgently just has they have done with the issues of SARs.

Conclusion:

So my dear friend this come to the end of my contest which I have stated the three reasons why I love and my country Nigeria and the three change I want to see in Nigeria.

The capital of Nigeria is called Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), that was created far backed in 1976. Before the created of Abuja Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and even before Lagos became the capital Calabar was the capital. Today, in Nigeria and west Africa as a whole Lagos stands as the leading industry and commercial city in West Africa. Well there are many more good things happening in Nigeria which I cannot just tell you all until you come over and see things for yourself.

Thank you for your time here.
