I will say yes but with conditions attached. 1. If our leaders are not currupt, I can't be working and another reaping to his pocket alone at the expence of others. 2. If they are mindful of the citizenry. 3. If they appreciate my kind gesture. 4. If they will respect me and give me a free hand to operate without fear or favour. 5. If they will allow me to have just a boss. 6. If they will respect the rule of law. 7. if they will consider the average citizen or low income earner. 8. If rural areas will be developed. 9. If they will welcome my suggestions. |

I would have said 'No' if my country is a single, inconsiderate, unjust and ruthless man but I say 'Yes', coz there are helpless people I'm meant to affect, which is part of the reason why God created me as a citizen of this country. |

Grant me the sweetness of recognition from other people, sense of self-satisfaction, or money that allows us to sustain living in this materialistic and capitalism-main-streamed world.(depends on which part of the world you live in) personally i cannot work for my country without money or fame. I think you have to be highly motivated(sometimes "love" can be the substitute for that), to be able to work without money or fame for your country unconditionally. I am sure some people are capable of doing so, i think that such people inclined(or adopt themselves to be) extremists, with self-conscious issues in certain way. It would be a hard work. Just my opinion. |

If you love your country, then you should be happy, that you are privileged enough to work for it. If you want something extra in return, then, its just a job. In that case their is no real loyalty to the country, rather loyalty to whatever YOU can get from it for yourself. Ask not what your country can do for you; Ask what you can do for your country. |

If i have other means of livelihood, i can but if i depend on my salary for my living, i cannot. To be able to do this, Nigeria need re-orientation and be assured of their future before this could be achieved. |
