Often than not I’ve thought about this, in many different ways, who’s to be blame, -The really hard working enthusiastic youth, seeking any means to engage in and earn, or the flip side of it, The Government doing very little or not at all to make living easy for the common man on the street, who’s barely surviving ..
or the graduate that has spent years under very hard condition striving to earn a degree only for them to realize the tide has ‘Changed' and all of a sudden they have to come up with an alternative means to survive
It began with the curiosity of many youths eagerly waiting for the possible chances of leaving the shores of the country, in earnest wish of finding greener pastures some were beyond the sea..in search of a better life with these in mind an average Nigerian youth is willing to go thru any means whatever measures it take to achieve these fate, to them its a big big dream to finally land in a foriegn country…..
Ofcourse the issue of illegal migration is an age long story, so these guys don’t mind walking the entire dessert, being smuggled in some weird way..here risk is taken at it maximum….there’s no consideration or second thoughts to this…what ever means and chances are ready to be taken,
The stories of Nigerians being stranded at some point in this journey is numerous… lost of life at sea? Desert? Some country while in transit?....is really deep.
Am writing these because it’ really disturbing at heart what these person’s go thru just to survive, yes the country in self is not helping, yes the economy is severe , yes the government don’t give a dame about it, they only seek to enrich their pocket and families upto the tenth generation, so if you find yourself in this circumstances what will you do?...run off yes….do crazy stuff? Yes, take any chances to survival?..yes..
BUT
It’s time we change all of that narrative, most time we become desperate pressured by circumstances within to do the unthinkable,
I am most proud of this country called Nigeria, not that it has helped me in anyway or am very rich or I’ve got someone in government no‼!....but because this country pushes me to the limit of thinking not worry but strategic thinking, to diversify, to be creative, to innovate, seek solution to people’s problem since everybody is so uncomfortable worried and desperate to get a chance to easy life…
Guess what that is?...OPPORTUNITIES…
Just that humans are always too impatience to observe, study, plan, strategies and implement things…that’s just that’s one tip of an iceburg….
There are opportunities roaming around the environment, the markets, the streets, at homes, churches, mosques, everywere seeking to be noticed and taken to heart but we re too busy with nothing……
My brother once told me it very easy to get rich same way it is to poverty…..just find a solution to people’s problem and money will come pouring in on you,
My very good friend at the university once said to me look at all this people walking around… point to group of student walking pass by us…..your money is in their pocket….
but how can you get it out from them willingly.
Opportunities don’t come once they come everyday…… just the once that will be sensible enough to catch the vision are those that are ready an with an open mind to grab the available chance that comes their way, haven’t you read ?
Preparation ➕ Opportunity = SUCCESS……
Nigeria is home to variety of economic activities, i can boldly say there might be little or no huge corporation in the world with a future target market that is not seeking to plants it foot in the Nigerian market, think of it we’ve got population which is demand, we’ve got classes, of people, very poor, poor, middle class, rich very rich, hyper rich folks so all levels of personalities are available, all of these put together present one with opportunities…..
Coming with an idea, creativity concept, venturing into business, keeping track record of progress being consistent and never relenting, entrepreneurship is gateway not staying up waiting for some white collar job or earnestly wishing for the government promises, no they won’t come the sooner we realize this and get up on our feet to start working this out the sooner the better, i say that to say this,
take Nigeria as a plain field were you are given all resource to do whatever you wish, , this resources is your “Time” you can build just anything in this country and trust me, it will grow.
One thing I’ve really observe about these guys going abroad is quest for easy life, thinking by the time you get to London they’d find stake of dollars laying up on everystreet
It’s time to Believe in ourselves, in our capabilities, believe in our nation and be proud of it, cause its in our hands to build a nation and not run away from it, defend it unity and upheld it intergrity,
If our afore Fathers all ran away to some Glory land then there would have been no Nigeria, if we run off then the blood of those patriots fighting for the unity of these nation would be in vain, no matter how far once goes definitely there be no place like home.
AM A PROUD NIGERIAN, I CAN MAKE IT RIGHT HERE_👇👇👇
