One of the biggest things Nigerians pray for today is an end to corruption. We hear people say, “Oh God, fight corruption.” But we also need to ask ourselves a difficult question: where does corruption begin?

Nigeria is a country where people pray a lot. When things are difficult, we pray. When we are looking for jobs, we pray. When we are facing hardship, corruption or insecurity, we pray. There is absolutely nothing wrong with praying. As Christians, we believe in the power of prayer.

Nigerians often complain about bad government. When one government is in power, citizens complain that the government is not doing well. But the moment that government leaves and another one takes over, some people begin to say, “When this person was around, Nigeria was far better.” Why does this keep happening? Why do we continue to complain without asking ourselves what we can also do to make Nigeria better?

Nigerians really know what they want. They know the kind of person they want to lead them and the kind of president they believe can understand what they are going through. But corruption continues to affect the system and make things difficult.

A better Nigeria cannot be built by the government alone. It also cannot happen if citizens refuse to play their own part. Both sides have responsibilities, and the progress of the country depends on how seriously those responsibilities are taken.

Government is often described as a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But after elections, many citizens begin to ask if the government still remembers the people who voted for them.

Why are some African leaders still staying in power for many years? This is a question we need to ask ourselves as Africans. Public office is supposed to be a place to serve the people, not a seat that belongs to one person or one family. In Nigeria, a president is elected for four years and can seek another four-year term, but the second term is not automatic. The people still have the right to decide whether that person should return. But sometimes, it looks as if political power has become a personal property. Once some leaders finish their first term, the next four years can begin to look like something they must complete. This can make citizens feel that there is no real choice.

The AU should bring African countries together, fight against corruption and help to maintain peace in the continent. But when problems happen and nothing is done quickly, people begin to ask questions about the work of the AU.

Imagine, one hundred thousand naira salary monthly for Nigerian soldiers, no, not enough. This is why their morale is very low

If you're not worried, I'm worried for Nigeria. My heart is pained daily as I read about Nigeria through the different media outlets. There are Nigerians in almost all countries of the world. In the middle East, North and South America, Europe, and Asia, Nigerians are spread in all the countries of these continents. But one thing is common, only a handful of these Nigerians are earning a decent living without involving in criminal activities.
