3 Ways In Which You Can Help Make Nigeria A Better Place. by odumchi: 3:05am On Jul 30, 2011
Hello once again. I'd like to discuss a few things that I feel need to be mentioned. In what ways can you, an ordinary Nigerian, help make Nigeria a better place for those living in it today, and those yet to be born? To many, there may be no answer, and the common excuse "our bad leaders wont let us" may be tossed around. Each of us dignititaries, politicians, and even commoners face many golden opportunities daily. We okada men/women, water peddlers, bus drivers, shop-keepers, students, teachers, farmers, merchants, and street peddlers each have our equal share of responsibility to Nigeria-even though some of us do not believe in it. Here are a feww ays in which you can help change Nigeria.

1. Avoid Bribe - Bribery is something that 90% of Nigerians are guilty of. Bribe is a common phenomenon in daily life in Nigeria and there are many ways in which we all can easily avoid it, and remmeber a problem stopped at the root is a problem solved. I personal;y encourage all of you taxi drivers, bus drivers, motorists and etc to refuse the police men of "roger" or "the usual" whatever the cost. As long as we continue to funnel chicken change into the deep pockets of our "Elephant warriors" we will continue to be harrashed and troubled.

2. Invest at Home - This is especially important to those of us in diaspora. An alarming number of Nigerians tend to forget their country once they are based or established elsewhere (especially the United States and the UK). Tens of Millions  of dollars have been pumped into the economies of the US and the UK by Nigerians alone. Money that is desperately needed in developing the motherland and Africa's largest country. Investing in Nigeria does not have to be founding a company or buying stocks, simply buying a parcel of land in your home state, or even spending some time in Nigeria is enough of an investment, and I encourage all of us to do so.

3. Speak Out - Nigerians are notorious for not speaking out when necessary and this often claims lives. At mob attacks, burgleries, public acts of violence, we all are expected to speak out and say something rather than forming large crowds of spectators, which sadly, has become the norm. You do not have to stop the fight or fight yourself. Simply calling the police or reporting the issue is enough.

With this in mind, I'd like to, once again recieve your feedback. Remember there is no excuse for not doing anything. Also remember I'd like to recieve sensible and insult-free rpelies only. Thanks again.  cool

There is no such thing as a point when the underlying information presented is nothing but a LIE. You do not have to imagine anything --- CONSULT FACTS before you post as again, it makes you continue to seem unintelligent and dishonest as an individual.

How can you come on here to TELL A LIE and then tell us it is your point? In what world does that even make sense? This is useful feedback by the way, LEARN TO DEAL HONESTLY if you really want to change Nigeria. People are being lied to left and right but here you are, yet again, lying to us and telling us it is for the good of Nigeria?? undecided undecided undecided undecided -- Stop telling LIES!! You will do more good for Nigeria that way.

How am I telling lies and when did I start to do so? What's there to lie about? Are you saying that theres no single Nigerian abroad that hasnt returned to Nigeria in atleast 10 years? Listen, I wouldnt like to let you spoil my good mood. If your looking for a thread to derail or a fight, go look for it somewhere else or hop off.
