Fixing Nigeria: We Must Accept Nigeria As Our ID

In my opinion,the greatest problem with Nigeria is that Nigerians are yet to accept Nigeria as their country. How,then,do you expect to get anything as a Nigerian when you don't really see yourself as one?
I know for sure that none of us would see our inheritance from our parents or grandparents hijacked and claimed without a struggle. Even if we can't claim it yet,we shall do all we can to make public the fact that we own it. No matter the tyranny of whichever bully that's denying us access to it,we shall continue to struggle and fight until we finally win it over! This is because we know that the property is ours and no one,no matter how powerful should have it. Even when people die in the process,people never relent in fighting for what is theirs...but,what of Nigeria,can we say the same of Nigeria,I doubt it!!!
We must start to see Nigeria as our inheritance!
It's not uncommon to find Nigerians lamenting and telling you how disappointed they are in Nigeria,the government and everything Nigeria. Some even go as far as to question why God made them Nigerians? What a shame!
The BLUNT TRUTH;if you refuse,to accept your fate as a Nigerian,you shall continue to suffer like a homeless stray dog. No matter what you do,no matter the citizenship of whichever country you might currently claim or are planning to claim,it doesn't change the fact that you are a Nigerian! Refusal to accept Nigeria as your country is self denial and a major hindrance to National development.


It's Natural to Care for what We Own
No one leaves his home leaking without rising up to do something about it. If your father's house's roof is leaking and you do nothing about it,then,you are a BASTARD!!!
Most of the problem we encounter as Nigerians are due to our indifference to the Nigerian project. We don't care what become of Nigeria so long we live comfortably. This is why Nigeria is in shambles.
We all shout and protest against corruption whereas,there is hardly anything we do in today's Nigeria without engaging in corrupt practices. Whenever we are confronted and challenged, instead of feeling remorseful, we proudly stand up and say that we are not the only ones that are corrupt. In other words,we find justification for being corrupt,is that right???
 

No One Can Change Nigeria Except Us,Nigerians.
Buhari had only begun the process by leading by example. You may say he has a lot of corrupt guys in his government, but,if I may ask,how many Nigerian politician or VIP that you know that is not corrupt? I'll make it easy on you,just name me 3!
Yes,I agree that some corrupt practices cannot be stopped immediately even if we wish to,but,you'll agree with the fact  that there are a good number that we can stop immediately!
You won't reason along with me unless you see Nigeria,truly as your fatherland...your very home that is in a very sorry state and needs fixing ASAP. Consider Nigeria as your home which you inherited from your dad and its roof is leaking,what are you going to do about it???
 

If You See Nigeria as Your Irreplaceable Home and Identity...
Well,that's the message for the day,the first step to making Nigeria great is for us all to see Nigeria as our ONLY HOME & IDENTITY. Unless,we do,we won't be able to fix Nigeria!
 

Arise O'Compatriots...
