The recent 2015 Nigerian general elections amplified the.. powers (of the citizen) for me. Just like Nigeria had its 'change' in the elections and opened up a new vista of opportunity for itself, so has my own epiphany showed me that I can do more for myself and my country. Nigerians have to learn as I've learnt: government is not doing us a favour. It is our right to have basic amenities. We need to educate the people on the power of their rights. This is the essence of my turning point, knowing better, being better and 'infecting' people with this new beautiful knowledge...
We all seek 'change'. A better, stronger and less corrupt Nigeria. A nation that functions and utilises its vast resources to empower itself. We look forward to a nation where all the citizens believe in themselves and in their government. This can only happen if we are able to rebuild the trust and belief we once had in our government and our leaders. Well, this is my view, at least, of the 'change' we were screaming for during this past general elections - to reacquaint ourselves with the Nigeria that strayed off the '-yellow brick road-'.
