Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt topic: a memorable president.
I never imagined a day would come when I would be writing about a memorable president in my country. One thing people fail to understand is that as well as the internet doesn't forget, neither does history, for good or for bad. Since right from my childhood people always bring up our leaders and discussions about them, either for good or for bad. I understand that leading a country is not easy; it comes with a lot of responsibility and sacrifice, and to those who play a vital role in the life of their citizens, I respect and honour them.
Coming to my country, a lot of people have been in the position of president; they try their best, but there is this particular president I will never forget because of the memory of the terrible things he did to the citizens, and inasmuch as I try to erase it from my mind, I find it hard to do so because that particular president hurt me.
I will be talking about the memorable president of my country, President Muhammadu Buhari. I fully know that every president has their own craziness, but this particular president shows us pepper. I can remember during their campaign he said he is bringing change to the country; indeed, we see the change he brings.
It was during his tenure that the insecurity in my country became worse. People became so afraid of travelling, especially people travelling to the northern part of my country. I can remember them; many people were kidnapped and killed by bandits. Citizens were living in fear because the country was no longer safe for them. The painful part is they are after their household and neglect the citizens. During that period of insecurity, I was posted to the northern part for my national youth service. My parents didn't allow me to go due to the insecurity, but some of my friends who went for their service in the northern part were living in fear, although they were only out there for three weeks in camp. At the end of the three weeks, redeploy to a state where the crisis is less.
It was during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari that life became so hard for the citizens; people find it hard to survive. I can remember during the time of Goodluck, rice and other foodstuffs were cheap, but the moment he entered that seat, he changed everything. Just as he promised us change, we really experienced it. His leadership was full of frustration. Then comes the cashless policy. That period was so crazy, spending the whole day standing in the queue to withdraw. Many times, getting to your turn, money will be finished. Indeed, his tenure is unforgettable because there are many dreams in his leadership.
In 2020 the youth who went for peaceful protest lost their lives protesting; that is the right of every citizen, and it gets to my country. It turns into something else. The youth have to protest after a video surfaces showing police
brutality, and the outcome was bloody. I lost a cousin in that protest. Till now, the federal government are still saying they didn't order the killing of those citizens. I lost my cousin at Lekki toll gate. I will never forget the tenure of Muhammadu Buhari because a lot happened.
