When I was about ten years old, I saw myself being at the fore front of change in my country,I love my country and I believe with the right steps, we'll get to the promise land.
I realized that politicians were most likely to fail you, because you can't give what you don't have. You cannot promote transparency when you reek of corruption, you cannot promote peace during the day and violence at night.
I knew that was the situation we found ourselves in and I also knew that in other to create a change, I had to be the change. So many times, you see people carrying Nigeria's resources and wasting it on irrelevant things and I stop to wonder, is it that everyone is blind to these things.
Those in authority know that corruption is bad, but without you and I to checkmate them, they have a field day in office. We don't checkmate because our pockets have been checkmated already, the youths instead of clamoring for change are busy trying to change people's PCV levels with machetes and guns.
I realized that the cost of illiteracy is cheap and education is expensive, people forget morals and opt for rotten values. The word life is just a dictionary term and upholding elections are the only time roads are maintained.
The army and intelligence agencies are just tools for oppression of the opposition and all else who stand in their way.
The rule of law can be broken at will and due process is a joke, despite that, I love my country and believe we can change. The truth is that the change starts with our baby steps in the right direction.
To an average Nigerian, they pray to get into power, not to change, but to embezzle their share of the national cake.
We forget the when we exhaust or siphon all resources and funds, we become poor. There are countries where several million units of their currency can only buy bread, there are places so corrupt that once you get there, you can smell corruption in the air, but I know my country is not that bad and there is room for change.
We'll get there eventually, but not without the intervention of you and I. We should not spectate, rather, we should participate in the dividends of democracy.
The country only gets bad if we let it. The blockchain has given us another shot to live our dreams, why not live it to the fullest? Why not use the chance given to us to change the errors we see in our country.
The government cannot do everything for us, we have set the standard low for governance in the first place, so we should set it higher and do follow up...while effecting change along the way.
The change begins with you and I, I believe in my country, do you?
