How our actions affect Others. .

Today in Nigeria, we are faced with many problems but most boils down to leadership woes and some to our personal faults. One is the mismanagement of this country's funds and this has affected things adversely.

Today, most of us have money mentality in mind, who wants to go hungry? None of course!
A small child expects a reward for running an errand, the police officer needs some kind of 'thank you' cash, the civil servant wants some cash to do his job, the student will only study effectively if money reward is attached, the wife will perform her duties only if she's compensated financially, and the list goes on and these has led to poorly executed jobs, structures collapse, half baked graduates, unhappiness in families etc.

All of the aforementioned are effects, but no problem can be tackled with knowledge of the effects only, except with knowledge of the underlying cause, so what's the cause? We are suffering from economic woes caused by past leaders, billions of US Dollars have been carted away from this beautiful country of ours abroad, while the beneficiaries of our funds with Visionary leadership use these funds to develop their countries, we suffer here. Our economy is Bad! And that's the cause of our present woes.

I was telling my friends of recent that if N500 could sustain a student effectively for a week, then we wouldn't need to be dying to get money to live fine. Students would effectively be able to focus on studying and wonderful researches that would benefit us would be made, but is it a student that is hustling alongside studying that would make amazing discoveries and researches?

If a family of five can effectively survive on N25000 a month, rice is cheap, Beans is cheap, education is well funded, then indeed we won't find ourselves in this situation. Then the children can explore their talents effectively but when a child that is meant to be developing his talents is hawking to survive?
Now, the reason why things are not right is because of the chase for money to be able to live fine, a politician steals for a future ambition, a contractor cuts corners to be able to live fine, a student has to delve into something else to be able to make ends meet to live above the present economic situation and this has indeed made things worse. Things doesn't seem to work fine as money is the priority and bad leaders are to blame for this. But all these are simply woes and consequences.

Everything we do has really long time consequences, when those bad leaders were embezzling, it looked cool and gratifying to them but they were and are narrow minded.

As emerging leaders , What can we then do? We can't control the past but our decisions today can go a long way in affecting us presently and in future.
If by any chance, you find yourself in charge of organizational and state funds, please let us use it judiciously, don't let others' suffer as a result of short minded thinking, A call to service to humanity is a blessing in itself and should not be a curse to others. We can always do things right and start thinking of others' ahead of personal gratification.
Let us be the change we wish to see in our society.

God bless Nigeria, A better Nigeria favors ALL.
