The Truth Nigerians Don’t Want to Hear

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?

Can we not put hands together with the government to build the better Nigeria we are looking for? Can we not say no to corruption? The truth is that corruption does not only exist in government. We need to look within our offices, workplaces and everyday activities. Let us check what is happening around us and ask ourselves whether we are also contributing to the problem.

The corruption we complain about can start from us, the citizens of Nigeria. If we truly want a better country, we cannot leave everything to the government. We also have a responsibility to make Nigeria better. Change should not only be something we demand from those in power; it should also be something we are willing to support through our own actions.
