The development of a nation lies on the hands of those who love creative change in their environments. Studies have shown that the economic power of any nation is not measured by the natural resources she possesses but the level at which she is able to develop due to the creativity of her citizens. Germany, U.S.A, Japan, just to mention a few are great epitome in this aspect. Computers, automobiles, telephones e.t.c can't be made mention of without bringing to mind creativity and at the same time boasting the influence of the Nations they emerged from. This is the sole reason why some countries will continue to be identified as developing countries till they wake up and start developing minds by creating activities lest they remain comsuming Nations. To create activities for creativity simply means to set up avenues that will lead to the discovery of creative minds that have not been brought to light. These search should be broadened so as to balance every aspect of life ranging from Science, Art, Business, Agriculture e.t.c. Many developed Countries started discovering their elites and creative minds at their early age. This is popularly known as "Catch them young". The big question is, who will be responsible for this task? All these burdens can't be laid upon the shoulders of the government alone. Private bodies and NGO(s) have great role to play here. It can be seen from the perspective of their way of giving back to the societies and also a medium and opportunity to woo citizens into becoming a part of them as customers as in the case of banks, telecommunication companies, producing companies and various organizations. A room for competition towards creativity in communities can only be achieved when societies rise and adopt processes of solving societal problems. It's mostly through competitions that the best is known. Most organizations have kicked up in this aspect of organising competitions such as painting, poetry, debate, mathematics, dancing, singing and the likes of others and the winners are greatly and handsomely rewarded. A wise saying goes like this "Appreciation beget Repetition". When a child does something worthwhile and he/she is appreciated, he/she would want to do more and even improve and we all know the popular saying "Practice make perfect". History recorded it that King Henry viii banned the importation of used goods in England and the economy grew beyond imagination because it activated their creative minds. So, this is a wake up call for the Government of Nigeria, NGO(s) and other private bodies in Nigeria and Nigerians in general to join me in creating activities that will encourage creativity in Nigeria. This avenue will majorly bring an end to youths roaming the streets and engaging themselves in malicious activities like arm robbery, prostitution, scamming e.t.c which in return have some negative effects not only on lives but also tend to soil the good name of the Nation Nigeria.
