Be The Alternative by ovoopf(m): 2:31am On Apr 03, 2017
Alternatives to bad governance and unjust leadership are individuals, who stand up to defend the core values of The Constitution and a formidable opposition party.

Let us compare and contrast the present administration to the previous ones, they are the same individuals who keep recycling themselves. Take a look at the All Progressive Congress, it is a make-up of members from the PDP and other failed parties who, even after 16 years of control did not effect desired changes.

We are all aware of the many corruptions plaguing our nation, Nigeria, but splashing it all over social media via videos or write ups does not proffer solutions. People who engage in such practices are urged to do their part by making a difference and provide solutions. Let us go back to the drawing board and recruit fresh thinkers with a good grasp on the constitution to move Nigeria forward.

Lessons can be learnt from the four lepers (2 Kings 7:3-29) who despite knowing their fate did not just resign to die but acted and went in search of a solution. Corruption is a known fact of Nigeria but not impossible to eradicate with the right attitude. Selfishness, greed, self centredness and the sense to get rich at the expense of others are not the right attitude or the solution. The lepers were not selfish and it is because of their unselfishness that the famine came to an end. 

Ben Murray Bruce, Senator in the House of Assembly under the platform of PDP, Chairman Silverbird Group and acclaimed advocate of Voice of Commonsense for the People, has been exposing the corruptions of the present administration. Could he be the alternative that the nation requires? If so, why is he still a part of the government that he is actively criticizing?

As we sign off on the first segment on our discussion The Constitution, remember Nigeria is not beyond redemption. However, the clock is ticking for us to act fast by either providing or be the alternative to move the country forward. Talk is cheap.

We are stronger together. 
Knowledge is power. Pass to all your contacts.
God bless you.

Great idea, but you have to start this with yourself and family, then friends and neighbors. The leaders are the least of the problems Nigeria has as a country. Yoruba say, Eyin ni ndi Akuko. Ibi pelebe lati mu ole je. Amunkun ti ese e wo. All pointing at how important foundation is in everything we do. Whatever you want your leaders to be in Abuja, you have to first of all instill it in them, elect those that campaign with that quality with the understanding that there will be no re-election for them or even recall if they don't fulfill the first promises.
