There are many things I'd like to change in my country.

The respect for the rule of law isn't one of them. It's so appalling that people would do everything but obey the the law. There are laws that have been passed to ensure that things are done in ways that would benefit the populace but people just want to do everything to brake the law.

Take forever example, the traffic rule. It's expected that's everyone stops when the light turns red. How more simple can that possibly be? Yet, it's so simple that people cannot just seem to abide to it. People beat the traffic light like they are wired to be wrong. Just come and observe whenever the police isn't watching and see people ignore the light like they aren't there. I really wish this could be stopped.

In my country, it seems like the more the law is voiced, the more people find pleasure in breaking them.

There's a law prohibitng the disposal of wastes in public place order in places not designated to such purposes, yet, people still do it and it has now been even increased with garbage now showing updates in places where they didn't exist before. This is the situation in my country and I really wish things get better to change soon.

The situation gets worse when you climb higher the social chain. Those who who make the law don't want live by them. It's in my countryside that you find those in power disobeying court injunctions. You'd find governors and oftentimes too, the president disregarding the rule of law. In an ideal society, no one is above the law and it should be so irrespective of the individual.

These are some of the things that I would be happy to see changed.

It's independence in my country. So, happy 58th independence Nigeria.
