Tell us about your Home (country), a brief history, will be an added advantage

Nigeria is really a big an great country, infact its located at the heart of Africa, Nigeria is africa most populated country. There are so many fact to be whared about my country Nigeria. Nigeria has the largest population in Africa and one of the biggest in the world, that means nigeria has more man-power and so many talents to rule the world.

There is no part of the world where you won't see a successful nigeria, or the positive influence of a Nigerian. Lately president Joe Biden appointed Osagie Imasogie and Chineye Ogwumike as part of his advisor council for Africa matters. This is a proof that Nigerians are really representing Africa well worldwide, thanks to their outstanding character.

Nigeria was colonized in the year 1861 by the British kingdom, roughly after 100 years later Nigeria got their independence from the colony masters, it was handed over to civilian government (Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmedu Bello).

Later in 1967 a civil war broke out that caused the som many because an ethnic group was marginalized and cheated so there decided to breakout but the nigeria government refused and fought the freedom fighters and their people until the defeated the freedom fighters with the help of the colonizers.

Then the continued the military government which started 6 years after independence, they were coup after coup until the country accepted democracy and another official civilian president in the year 1999 who name is His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo, he was a one time serving military ruler of the country before he retired.

Nigeria indeed is so unique and blessed with so many things that other countries find very difficult to have or get access to, Nigeria is really envied among so many nations and that's why the colony masters still maniplates the running of the the country from their end.

• Free From Natural Disasters

Unlike so many foreign countries and some Africa countries, Nigeria rarely experience experience natural disasters in its communities, most countries suffer volcanic eruption, earthquake, tsunami, forest burn or even ice breakages but over here Nigeria don't experience thos activities.

The closest to a natural disasters in Nigeria is flood but the flood is no a natural one because its caused by poor development, almost every year Cameroon open their dam which causes over flowing in nearby communities in Nigeria.

• Rich in Natural Resources

Nigerian is also blessed with so so many minerals resources and so many precious stones like Gold, Diamonds, Marble, Silver Copper, limestone And Iron Ores etc. Nigeria have natural resources like Crude Oil, Tin, Coal, Zinc, Magnesium, Cassiterite, Bitumen etc

Nigeria has proven to be one of the biggest and influencial exporters of this natural resources world wide, especially when you are talking about crude oil supply in the global market, just like Russia, Nigeria also dominate the crude oil market

• Tourists locations

Nigeria has so many tourist attractions all over the country with the unique and attractive features that draw attention from all over the globe, just a visit to this location would leave you amazed of the wonders of creation, ranging from east, south north and west this awesome location are spotted in every area.

When talking about tourist attractions in Nigeria we are talking about places like Awhum Waterfall, Ngwo Pine Forest, The Ibeno Beach, Obudu Cattle Ranch, Isaac Boro Park, New Afrika Shrine, Zuma Rock, Kainji Dam, and the awesome Rock and Weather of Jos town.

Would you leave your country to settle in another if an opportunity shows up? Back up your answer with reasons.

Yes, to be sincere Nigeria is really going through tough times because of the influence of bad and corrupt politicians who embezzle our hard earned money for their selfishness, so therefore causing the economy of the nation to go so poor and unless.

Recently 1 naira was equal to 1000 USD, meaning earning in dollars would increase your worth in a very short period of time, so therefore do many youths are looking for greener pastures outside because the believe the government has failed them and cannot better their condition in any period of time.

The country Nigeria has limited job opportunities to employe it's youth leading them into different different populate youth, and you don't expect them seat and do nothing, this fact has made many participate in evil deeds just to keep the family going without dieing in hunger. The joblessness is negatively affecting the youth and giving the reason to run away from the country as populary known as 'Japa".

The security status of this nation is really alarming because, everyday we hear new evil technics to harm others, in the sake to make money. The trending case is the stealing of private part from human beings by mere shaking or using spiritual powers, you could also hear the case of kidnapping in the community just to make fast money

What areas of your home (country) would you love to see an improvement?

Economy Aspect

I would love to see stability on the country economy, so therefore price of goods and services would be cheaper and most especially taking naira back to 100 naira to 1 Dollar. For a oil producting county the price of petroleum, kerosene, gas and fuel are so high for it's citizens in the country.

The rise of the price of fuel means they would rise in price of transportation of humans and transportation in goods and finally results to the increase in price for goods in the market because traders are trying to make their profit from their trade , this in turn spoil our country because everything just affect the cost of the asset. The economy of the country is really really bad to their stand that one could easily buy goods and services, despite the bad economy the minimum wage of the citizens remain as low as nothing to cope in the bad economy

Educational Aspect

The educational system of the country is really poor because students read, wright and learn in a very hot and hash condition where they are poorly valued facilities or low standard properties for them to cope with. Despite the heart's condition of studying in the country the governments are school administration still increases the price of school fees in the country making its hard for a young poor individual to achieve academical success.

I would love to see better for structures after facilities situated in the school environment to a house the learning of our young ones in the country, hopefully the governments and this entorage produce enough fund to manage the educational system in the country

Security Aspect

Security of life on property in the country has been neglated by the federal government and other managing body in the country leaving the lives our properties of innocent citizens at risk. Daily on the news we see new insecure activities happening around the nation with no hope of change or growth.

In Nigeria we face so many insecurity challenges such as kidnapping who being Robbing, Raping, Insurgency, Killing etc. All the booth they above examples makes life very difficult for the innocent citizens living in the nation because everyone is scared of falling to this cases.

In Nigeria the government only cater for themself and their families living the innocent civilians and followers to full victim, The best they do is to hire very expensive vehicle, convoys and security agencies to follow them everywhere they go not caring for the poor ones.

In summary I would love to see an upgrade in this tree aspect because they really help if layers the growth of a nation, The education Security and economy of off a nation is very very important and can't be over looked.
