How much do you love your country and what do you want your country to look like?
I really love my country a lot ❤️. I love it to the extent that I can give my life for my country.
I want my country to look like, its slogan which is "unity and faith, peace and progress". Unity because a unified country is a country that is sure to prosper and conquer any challenge that comes its way be it drought, storms volcanic eruptions, or even political breakdown.
Faith they say can move mountains. If a country has faith in both its citizens and its rulers.
Peace is one of the most important virtues in life with peace everyone can obey the laws of the land.
With the total combination of Unity, Faith, and Peace progress is sure to come to any country I want my country to look like this and there will certainly be progress.
What do you think we need to do to make a country better and better?
If you really want a country to be a better place you are expected to.
Ensure that all the law enforcement agencies do their jobs properly.
Give assistance to the orphans in the orphanage homes.
Believe in our leaders and also trust them in all they do.
We as citizens can make our country better and better if we obey the rules and regulations that are guiding our country for better growth.
As government officials, we ought to stop the fraudulent acts of embezzlement of public funds.

Hi, Greetings, Good to see you Here:)
Thanks for the reviews
@anthony002 dear,
that country and progress day by day.So we should all unite and fulfill every duty of the country and obey every law of the country.
We were once under Britain in our country and it took many years to get our independence. A country's military rule can never be fully developed, so the development of a country requires trust in the country and its people.
I agree with your points, thanks for the warm comment ☺️
