How To Change Nigeria - Mbe Nwaniga by Sunnynwa: 8:02am On Apr 26, 2017
Many Stockholm metro stations had these barriers that you spin backwards to open a little bit,just enough to let you pass.Once the station guards are not there,we pull it back and enter the metro.Then we always stood around the train coach windows watching out for the ticket inspectors.We know the stations with similar gates and we always used them.Most of us hardly buy train tickets.You don't have enough money for rent,food and dozens of hungry mouths in Nigeria looking up to you to feed them let alone buying a weekly or monthly train ticket.It was a luxury we couldn't afford.

Then we moved to the UK and all the London Underground stations​ have solid barriers that can only bulge for 2-5 seconds to let you in if you touch your travel card or ticket on the electronic card reader.Buying weekly train travel cards became our number one priority.It superceded rent,food and the waiting mouths back home.

Nobody preached to us to be good people in London and not jump the barriers at the train stations.We simply changed our behaviours because the structure there won't permit us to jump the barriers.This structure in turn changed our priorities and way of life completely.

When we say we need the right structures in place to fight corruption in Nigeria,this is what we are talking about.
