THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA IS ATTITUDE. PART 1

I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN U.S FOR OVER 8 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE SYSTEM AND THE PEOPLE. AMERICA IS REALLY THE LAND OF DREAMS. WHERE DREAMS CAN BECOME REALITY.  A LOT OF QUESTIONS HAVE GONE THROUGH MY MIND AS I READ AND WATCHED THE LIFE OF THE RICH. THEN I WENT BACK TO READING SELF HELP BOOKS AND WATCHING MOTIVATIONAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND IT DAWNED ON ME THAT NIGERIA'S PROBLEM CAN BE SUMMARIZED WITH ONE WORD, ATTITUDE.

WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE NIGERIA CAN RANK AMONG THE GREAT NATIONS OF THE WORLD. OUR MUSIC, FILM AND SPORTS INDUSTRIES HAVE PROVED THAT WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE NIGERIA CAN GET IT RIGHT. BUT THERE IS THE PROBLEM OF OUR CHOICE OF LEADERS.

OUR LEADERS ARE NOT INSPIRING. THEY ARE TRIBALISTIC, NEPOTISTIC, BIGOTS, AUTOCRATIC, SELFISH AND CLUELESS. THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO MOVE THE NATION FORWARD AND EVERY ELECTION YEAR THEY KEEP CONTESTING AND NIGERIANS ALLOW THEM TO MANIPULATE THEIR WAY BACK INTO GOVERNMENT. 

I LEARNT FROM SOME OF THE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS I READ AND LISTEN TO, THAT IF YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. WE HAVE BEEN MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECT THINGS TO CHANGE. NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

WE NEED LEADERS WITH VISION. KING SOLOMON WROTE "MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF VISION.

WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE IN NIGERIA SO OUR DREAMS CAN BECOME REALITY. NIGERIANS HAVE DREAMS, BUT THE DREAMS DIE WITH THE DAY LIGHT, THEY PURSUE THEIR DAILY NEEDS INSTEAD OF PURSUING THEIR DREAMS. NOBODY THINKS. AND WHEN THEN THEY DO THINK, THEIR THOUGHTS ARE FULL OF EVIL. GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES WHICH INVOLVES FRAUD OR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. IF ONLY WE CAN CHANNEL ALL THAT ENERGY POSITIVELY.

CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE AND WE WILL BE AWED BY HOW FAST OUR WORLD CAN CHANGE.
